AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164, while the AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most workloads. However, the Ryzen AI Embedded P164's recorded results can be interpreted against its nearest rivals to establish its performance position.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P164 achieves an average benchmark score of 52,901. This places it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, indicating it outperforms 91% of recorded processors. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F, scores 52,873, a delta of 0.1%, meaning the P164 is effectively tied with that chip. The Intel Xeon 634 scores 52,974, a delta of -0.1%, again a near tie. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53,206, a delta of -0.6%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53,288, a delta of -0.7%. The data shows the P164 trails these two server and high-end desktop parts by less than 1%, a remarkably tight grouping.

Looking at individual workloads, the P164 delivers 87,940 in integer math, 55,799 in floating point math, and 24,193 in extended instructions. Its multithread score reaches 25,889, while single-thread performance records 4,029. Data compression scores 327,891, a very high result that reflects the processor's throughput in memory-bound operations. Data encryption records 16,055, random string sorting scores 34,801, and physics simulation reaches 1,210. The find prime numbers test records 71, a lower figure that is typical for such algorithms.

Because the Ryzen 5 130 lacks any benchmark entries, the database cannot confirm its relative standing. The P164's 91st percentile rank, however, gives a clear signal: it sits among the top decile of all CPUs tested, with a multithread score that nearly matches the Ryzen 9 7900X, a desktop flagship. The single-thread score of 4,029 is competitive with modern desktop parts, and the data compression result suggests strong memory subsystem performance.

The lack of Ryzen 5 130 scores means the head-to-head section is necessarily one-sided. The P164's recorded data is comprehensive across 11 tests, covering integer, floating point, encryption, compression, and sorting workloads. The Ryzen 5 130's absence from the benchmark table leaves its performance unquantified in this database.

Where Each One Wins

The P164 clearly wins in every benchmark category that has recorded data, since the Ryzen 5 130 has no scores. The P164's multithread score of 25,889 and its 8-core, 16-thread configuration position it for parallel workloads. Its data compression result of 327,891 suggests strong throughput in archiving, databases, and file compression tasks. Integer math at 87,940 and floating point math at 55,799 indicate robust general computation, while extended instructions at 24,193 point to capable vectorized processing.

The P164's single-thread score of 4,029, paired with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, makes it suitable for lightly threaded applications such as desktop responsiveness, web browsing, and legacy software that relies on one core. The data encryption score of 16,055 shows reasonable cryptographic throughput, and random string sorting at 34,801 reflects solid memory access patterns.

The Ryzen 5 130's lack of benchmark data means no wins can be attributed to it. Its specifications, however, suggest a different design point: 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and boost of 4.55 GHz. Without recorded scores, the database cannot validate its performance in any workload.

For users relying on measured data, the P164 is the only option with verified results. The 91st percentile rank confirms top-decile performance across the database's CPU population. The near ties with the Ryzen 9 7900X and EPYC 7313P, both high-end parts, indicate that the P164 competes above its embedded positioning.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in core count: the Ryzen 5 130 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P164 has 8 cores and 16 threads. Clock speeds also diverge. The 130 runs at a 2.90 GHz base and 4.55 GHz boost, whereas the P164 runs at 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. The P164 has a higher boost ceiling by 0.45 GHz but a lower base clock by 0.90 GHz.

Both processors share a 28 W TDP, so power envelopes are identical. The 130 uses AMD Socket FP7, while the P164 uses AMD Socket FP8, meaning they are not socket-compatible. Cache configurations differ substantially. The 130 has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The P164 has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The P164 doubles the per-core L2 but halves the total L3.

Memory support differs. The 130 supports DDR5 only, while the P164 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel buses. Memory bandwidth favors the P164 at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the 130. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the 130 provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the P164 provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ. The 130 uses the Radeon 660M, while the P164 uses the Radeon 880M. Process nodes differ: the 130 is built on 6 nm, the P164 on 4 nm, both from TSMC. Die size is larger on the P164 at 233 mm² versus 210 mm² for the 130. Release dates differ, with the 130 dated September 2025 and the P164 dated March 2026. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and both have locked multipliers.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 130 is built on the Zen 3+ architecture, codenamed Rembrandt-R, using a 6 nm TSMC process. The Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses a Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, on a 4 nm TSMC process. This represents a generational leap: Zen 3+ is a refined version of the older Zen 3, while Zen 5 is AMD's latest core design. The P164's generation field lists "Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c)", indicating a mix of full-size and compact cores, while the 130's generation is "Ryzen 5 (Zen 3+ (Rembrandt))".

The P164's 4 nm node offers a density advantage over the 130's 6 nm node, which helps explain its larger die size of 233 mm² despite the smaller process. The 130's die is 210 mm². The P164's L1 cache of 80 KB per core is larger than the 130's 64 KB per core, and its L2 of 1 MB per core doubles the 130's 512 KB. The L3 configuration, however, is inverted: the 130 offers 16 MB shared, while the P164 offers only 8 MB. This suggests the P164 relies on faster per-core caches and lower latency, while the 130 provides a larger shared pool for cache-heavy workloads.

The integrated graphics differ by architecture as well. The 130 pairs with the Radeon 660M, while the P164 uses the Radeon 880M, a newer graphics block consistent with the Zen 5 generation. Memory support on the P164 adds LPDDR5X, which is absent from the 130's DDR5-only controller. The P164's higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s reflects this newer memory interface.

The P164's boost clock of 5.00 GHz is the highest among the two, a notable figure for an embedded processor. Its lower base clock of 2.00 GHz suggests power management favors burst performance over sustained all-core frequency. The 130's higher base clock of 2.90 GHz indicates a more conservative boost strategy with steadier sustained clocks. Both parts run at 28 W TDP, so the P164 achieves its higher boost within the same thermal envelope, likely due to the 4 nm process efficiency.

The P164's PCIe lane count is lower at 16 versus 20 for the 130, but both are Gen 4. The socket change from FP7 to FP8 reflects the platform update between generations. The P164's part number is listed as unknown, while the 130 has a specific part number of 100-000000992 (FP7r2). Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, confirming both are fixed-clock parts for their respective mobile and embedded segments.
