Quick Answers

So, is Core i5-1145GRE better than Ryzen Embedded V1756B?

It depends on what matters more to you. For gaming, Ryzen Embedded V1756B is ahead with a 3.2% average FPS lead across 4 shared CPU game tests in our data. For rendering, compiling, streaming, and heavier multitasking, Core i5-1145GRE pulls ahead with 1.2% better PassMark. Core i5-1145GRE also has the bigger cache pool with 300% larger total L3 cache (8 MB vs 2 MB).

Which one is better for streaming, content creation, and heavy multitasking?

For streaming, content creation, and heavier multitasking, Core i5-1145GRE is the better fit. You are getting 1.2% better PassMark, backed by 4 cores and 8 threads. It also carries the larger cache pool with 300% larger total L3 cache (8 MB vs 2 MB).

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper CPU?

Core i5-1145GRE is the smarter buy by a wide margin for any fresh desktop build. Core i5-1145GRE is 44.8% more expensive on MSRP at $362 MSRP versus $250 MSRP, and it gives you 1.2% better PassMark. Ryzen Embedded V1756B only looks good on raw value math because it is a cheap legacy laptop CPU, not because it is a serious desktop gaming option. It simply cannot keep up with modern games.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Core i5-1145GRE is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer CPU generation (2020 vs 2018), 300% larger total L3 cache (8 MB vs 2 MB), and more multi-core headroom with 4 cores / 8 threads instead of 4/8. That extra compute headroom should age better as games, background tasks, and creator workloads get heavier.

Games Benchmarks

Paired with RTX 4090

To accurately isolate CPU performance, all benchmarks below use an NVIDIA RTX 4090 as the reference GPU. This eliminates GPU-side bottlenecks and highlights pure processing throughput differences between the CPUs.

Note: Real-world results may vary based on your actual GPU. CPU performance impact is more visible in processing-intensive titles and high-refresh-rate gaming scenarios.
