AMD Ryzen Embedded R1606G has a PassMark multicore score of 4,124, compared with 4,488 for Intel Pentium Gold G6605 @ 4.30GHz. Intel Pentium Gold G6605 @ 4.30GHz has the higher score in this benchmark.

Single-core scores describe one thread; multicore scores describe aggregate CPU throughput. These results do not establish which CPU is faster in every application. Compare platform support and total upgrade cost before buying.

AMD Ryzen Embedded R1606G lists FP5; Intel Pentium Gold G6605 @ 4.30GHz lists FCLGA1200. Check the motherboard manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements. If the required platform changes, include motherboard, memory and cooling costs; the CPU price alone is not the full upgrade cost.

Sources and data freshness

The retrieval date records when Find Me a CPU collected the source data. It is not a benchmark test date. Prices are USD estimates from the source, converted for other currencies, rather than live retailer offers. Release / first seen means the CPU first appeared on PassMark charts, not necessarily its launch date.

Benchmark scores do not predict frame rates in a particular game. Typical TDP is a specification, not measured electricity use. A matching socket does not confirm motherboard support; check the manufacturer's CPU support list and BIOS requirements.
