AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive overall victory for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, which wins 9 of the 11 recorded comparisons. The Ryzen 3 210 claims only 2 wins, both in single-threaded tests, and by a razor-thin margin.

The largest gap appears in floating-point math. The Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 42,248 against the Ryzen 3 210's 23,649, a 44% advantage. This is the single biggest percentage difference in the entire comparison set. Integer math follows a similar pattern: 62,249 versus 37,933, which puts the P132 39.1% ahead. These two results indicate the P132's stronger per-core execution resources, which are especially visible in arithmetic-heavy workloads.

Data compression shows a 34% lead for the P132 (230,437 versus 152,017). This is a notable gap because compression tasks typically scale with both core count and memory bandwidth. The P132's 6 cores and 12 threads give it a structural advantage over the Ryzen 3 210's 4 cores and 8 threads. Extended instructions also favor the P132 by 30.6% (16,520 versus 11,464), which points to better handling of SIMD and other instruction-set extensions.

Multithreaded performance, as measured by PassMark's multithread test, shows the P132 at 19,262 versus 13,585, a 29.5% lead. The physics test, which is often sensitive to core scaling, shows a 19.7% advantage for the P132 (1,022 versus 821). Random string sorting, a memory-latency-sensitive workload, shows the P132 ahead by 22.7% (25,181 versus 19,454). Data encryption shows a 24.8% gap (11,444 versus 8,607), and prime number finding, a workload that stresses integer throughput, shows a 14% lead for the P132 (57 versus 49).

The Ryzen 3 210's only wins come in the PassMark single-thread and singlethread tests, where it scores 3,724 versus 3,713. The 0.3% delta is within the range of measurement noise, but the database records it as a win for the Ryzen 3 210. Even so, the P132's single-thread score is close enough that the two processors are effectively tied in single-core performance.

Looking at the rival context, the Ryzen 3 210 sits at the 71st percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 17,321. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (17,333, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (17,278, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core 7 150U (17,395, delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17,239, delta 0.5%). The Ryzen AI Embedded P132, by contrast, sits at the 86th percentile with an average score of 37,804. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core 5 211E (37,829, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 (37,762, delta 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (37,904, delta -0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-14901E (37,911, delta -0.3%). The average score difference between the two processors (17,321 versus 37,804) is larger than any individual head-to-head delta, which reflects the fact that the P132's benchmark suite includes more high-scoring workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations. The Ryzen 3 210 is built on Zen 4 with the Hawk Point codename, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c design with the Gorgon Point codename. Both use a 4 nm process from TSMC, but the underlying microarchitecture differs substantially.

The Ryzen 3 210 has 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a lower base clock of 2.00 GHz but a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The P132's lower base clock is offset by its higher core count and newer architecture, which explains why it wins most benchmarks despite the clock disadvantage.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The Ryzen 3 210 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, but only 4 MB of L3 cache. Despite having half the L3 cache, the P132 still outperforms the Ryzen 3 210 in nearly every workload, which suggests the Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores are more efficient per clock.

The integrated graphics also differ. The Ryzen 3 210 uses the Radeon 740M, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the Radeon 840M. Both processors use AMD Socket FP7 and FP8 respectively, and neither is multiplier-unlocked. The P132 supports ECC memory, while the Ryzen 3 210 does not. The P132 also accepts both DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, whereas the Ryzen 3 210 is limited to DDR5.

Both processors share the same memory bus configuration (dual-channel), the same memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s), and the same PCIe configuration (Gen 4, 14 lanes CPU only). The Ryzen 3 210 has a transistor count of 20,900 million and a die size of 137 mm², while the P132's transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. The Ryzen 3 210 was released in January 2025, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has a later release date in March 2026.

Specification Differences

The recorded specifications show several key differences between the two processors. The core count differs: 4 cores for the Ryzen 3 210 versus 6 cores for the Ryzen AI Embedded P132. Thread counts follow suit at 8 versus 12. Base clocks are 3.00 GHz for the Ryzen 3 210 and 2.00 GHz for the P132. Boost clocks are 4.70 GHz and 4.50 GHz respectively.

The socket types differ: AMD Socket FP7 for the Ryzen 3 210 and AMD Socket FP8 for the P132. The architectures are Zen 4 (Hawk Point) versus Zen 5 / Zen 5c (Gorgon Point). The L1 cache per core is 64 KB for the Ryzen 3 210 and 80 KB for the P132. The L3 cache is 8 MB shared for the Ryzen 3 210 and 4 MB for the P132. Memory support is DDR5 for the Ryzen 3 210 and DDR5 plus LPDDR5X for the P132. ECC memory is not supported on the Ryzen 3 210 but is supported on the P132. The integrated graphics are Radeon 740M versus Radeon 840M.

Both processors share the same TDP of 28 watts, the same dual-channel memory bus, the same 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, the same PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes, the same 4 nm TSMC process node, and the same active production status. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Ryzen 3 210 has a known part number (100-000001612), while the P132's part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is the stronger processor in almost every measurable way. It wins 9 of 11 head-to-head benchmarks, holds an 86th percentile ranking versus the Ryzen 3 210's 71st percentile, and delivers an average benchmark score of 37,804 compared to 17,321. The P132's advantages range from 14% in prime number finding to 44% in floating-point math, and it leads by 29.5% in multithreaded performance.

The Ryzen 3 210's only wins are in single-thread performance, where it edges out the P132 by 0.3% (3,724 versus 3,713). This is a marginal lead that does not offset the P132's substantial multi-core advantages. The P132 also offers ECC memory support and LPDDR5X compatibility, which are absent on the Ryzen 3 210.

For workloads that depend on floating-point math, integer math, data compression, encryption, or multithreaded throughput, the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is clearly the better choice. The Ryzen 3 210 remains competitive only in lightly threaded tasks where single-core speed is the primary factor, and even there the difference is minimal.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 dominates in compute-heavy and parallel workloads. Floating-point math, where it leads by 44%, and integer math, where it leads by 39.1%, are its strongest areas. Data compression shows a 34% advantage, extended instructions a 30.6% lead, and multithreaded performance a 29.5% gap. The P132 also wins in data encryption (24.8%), random string sorting (22.7%), physics (19.7%), and prime number finding (14%). These results make it suitable for workloads like scientific computation, data processing, encryption, and any task that can use more than four cores effectively.

The AMD Ryzen 3 210 wins only in single-thread performance, with a 0.3% edge over the P132. This is a narrow margin, but it does mean the Ryzen 3 210 holds a slight advantage in applications that are strictly single-threaded and cannot benefit from additional cores. The Ryzen 3 210 also has a higher boost clock (4.70 GHz versus 4.50 GHz) and double the L3 cache (8 MB versus 4 MB), which may help in latency-sensitive workloads even if the benchmark scores do not show a consistent pattern.

In practical terms, the P132 is the processor to choose for multi-core workloads, embedded applications requiring ECC memory, or systems using LPDDR5X memory. The Ryzen 3 210 is the better pick only when single-thread performance is the sole criterion, and even then the difference is negligible. The overall benchmark record favors the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 by a wide margin across most test categories.
