AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 3 210 and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i occupy distinct positions in the database. The Ryzen 3 210 is a 4-core, 8-thread Zen 4 part with a 3.00 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost clock, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P185i is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid with a 2.00 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost. The benchmark data currently contains a full suite of results for the Ryzen 3 210, but the P185i has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. Consequently, the verdict must be drawn from architectural specifications and the measured performance of the Ryzen 3 210 relative to its own rivals.

The Ryzen 3 210 sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 17321. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (average score 17333, 0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (17278, 0.2% behind), the Intel Core 7 150U (17395, 0.4% ahead), and the Intel Core i5-12450H (17239, 0.5% behind). These deltas are all within one percentage point, indicating that the Ryzen 3 210 performs essentially at parity with a cluster of established mid-range mobile and desktop processors. The data shows a tightly grouped field where the Ryzen 3 210 is neither a leader nor a laggard, but a solid mid-pack performer.

The P185i, by contrast, has no benchmark presence in the database. Its 12-core, 24-thread configuration and Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid architecture suggest a higher multi-threaded ceiling than the Ryzen 3 210, but without recorded measurements, no performance claim can be substantiated. The P185i also carries a 50th percentile ranking, which is the default value for a CPU with no test data, and an average benchmark score of zero. From the available data, the Ryzen 3 210 is the only one of the two with verifiable performance, making it the defensible choice for any workload where measured results are required. The P185i should be selected only when its specific feature set, particularly its 16 MB L3 cache, ECC memory support, and Radeon 890M integrated graphics, is needed, and when the absence of benchmark data is acceptable.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in architecture. The Ryzen 3 210 uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The P185i uses a Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid design with the Gorgon Point codename, also on a 4 nm TSMC process, but with a larger 233 mm² die. The transistor count for the P185i is not recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen 3 210 provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The P185i provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The P185i therefore doubles the L3 capacity and increases per-core L1 by 25%. These differences align with the core count disparity: the Ryzen 3 210 has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the P185i has 12 cores and 24 threads, a 3x increase in cores and threads.

Memory support also separates the two. The Ryzen 3 210 supports DDR5 only, while the P185i supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both are dual-channel with an identical 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. ECC memory is not supported on the Ryzen 3 210 but is supported on the P185i, which is a meaningful distinction for embedded and reliability-focused deployments. PCIe connectivity is close but not identical: the Ryzen 3 210 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the P185i provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ as well, with the Ryzen 3 210 using the Radeon 740M and the P185i using the Radeon 890M.

Clock behavior contrasts sharply. The Ryzen 3 210 starts at a higher 3.00 GHz base but boosts to 4.70 GHz. The P185i starts at 2.00 GHz base but boosts to 5.10 GHz. The 0.40 GHz boost advantage for the P185i suggests higher single-thread potential, while the lower base clock likely reflects the thermal and power constraints of a 12-core design operating within the same 28 W TDP envelope. Both parts are locked (multiplier not unlocked), both are classified as mobile market segment, and both are currently active in production. The Ryzen 3 210 was released on 2025-01-05, while the P185i carries a later release date of 2026-02-28.

The two CPUs share several characteristics: both are manufactured by AMD, both use a 4 nm TSMC process, both have a 28 W TDP, both are dual-channel with 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, both have 1 MB of L2 per core, both are locked (multiplier not unlocked), both target the mobile market segment, and both are active in production. The distinct specifications above are the fields where the two differ.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the P185i has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The comparison must therefore rely on the Ryzen 3 210's measured results and the architectural differences established in the specification section.

The Ryzen 3 210 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11198 and a single-core score of 1581. In Cinebench R20, it scores 4703 multi-core and 664 single-core. In the older Cinebench R15, it scores 1128 multi-core and 159 single-core. These results place the Ryzen 3 210 at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17321. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, scores 17333 on average, a 0.1% difference, meaning the Ryzen 3 210 is statistically indistinguishable from that part. The Intel Core 7 150U sits 0.4% ahead at 17395, and the Intel Core i5-12450H sits 0.5% behind at 17239. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is 0.2% behind at 17278. Every rival is within a single percentage point, which indicates that the Ryzen 3 210's performance profile is stable and competitive within its immediate class, despite the wide variance in its individual workload scores.

PassMark results for the Ryzen 3 210 show a multi-thread score of 13585 and a single-thread score of 3724 (also recorded as passmark_single_thread, also 3724). The integer math score is 37933, floating point math is 23649, and extended instructions score is 11464. Data compression scores 152017, data encryption scores 8607, and random string sorting scores 19454. Physics scores 821, and finding prime numbers scores 49. These figures demonstrate the Ryzen 3 210's workload-specific behavior: it is far stronger in integer-heavy and compression tasks than in prime number search or physics simulations. The 37933 integer math score versus the 49 prime number score illustrates a dramatic spread that reflects the CPU's architectural strengths and the nature of each workload.

For the P185i, no comparable numbers exist. The 12-core, 24-thread configuration, the 5.10 GHz boost clock, the doubled L3 cache, and the larger 233 mm² die all point toward a processor designed for higher multi-threaded throughput and embedded workloads, but the database records no measured confirmation. The Ryzen 3 210, with a 4.70 GHz boost, a 71st percentile ranking, and a full benchmark suite, is the only processor of the two with empirical performance data. The P185i's 50th percentile and zero average benchmark score are placeholder values, not measured results. The data therefore supports confident performance statements about the Ryzen 3 210 and none about the P185i beyond its architectural specifications.
