AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Ryzen 5 150 has a full suite of PassMark results, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries in the database at all. This means the measurable wins belong entirely to the Ryzen 5 150 across every available test category.

The Ryzen 5 150 posts a multi-thread score of 17,492 and a single-thread score of 3,155. In specialized workloads, it reaches 62,151 in integer math, 35,118 in floating-point math, 14,675 in extended instructions, and 13,425 in data encryption. Its data compression result is 211,289, while random string sorting lands at 22,382. Prime number finding scores 47, and physics simulation scores 806.

For the Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, the database shows no benchmark scores whatsoever. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed. The wins column for this processor is empty.

What the data does indicate is that the Ryzen 5 150 sits at the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database, whereas the Ryzen AI Embedded P174i sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile gap is not derived from head-to-head testing but from the overall distribution of recorded processors. The Ryzen 5 150's average benchmark score of 34,881 places it in the upper tier of the database, while the P174i's lack of recorded scores leaves its percentile at the median mark.

The use-case split is therefore lopsided in the recorded data. Any workload measured by PassMark, whether integer-heavy, floating-point-heavy, or memory-latency-sensitive, currently favors the Ryzen 5 150 because it has actual numbers. The P174i cannot claim a win in any measured category since no category has a score for it.

That said, the P174i's hardware profile suggests different strengths that the benchmark suite does not capture. It has 10 cores and 20 threads versus the Ryzen 5 150's 6 cores and 12 threads. It supports ECC memory, which the Ryzen 5 150 does not. Its integrated Radeon 880M graphics is a different part than the Radeon 660M in the Ryzen 5 150. These are architectural distinctions, not measured performance advantages, but they define where the P174i might hold an edge in deployment scenarios rather than in raw PassMark numbers.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 150 is the only processor with measurable performance evidence. It wins every benchmark category by default because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no scores in the database. If the selection criterion is observed performance, the Ryzen 5 150 is the clear choice.

The Ryzen 5 150's 84th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 34,881 put it in company with the Intel Xeon 6349P (34,890, 0% delta), Intel Core 7 253PTE (34,962, -0.2% delta), Intel Core i7-13800H (34,988, -0.3% delta), and Intel Core i9-12900HX (35,003, -0.3% delta). These nearest rivals are within a fraction of a percent of the Ryzen 5 150's average, indicating that the Ryzen 5 150 delivers performance on par with those established mobile and workstation processors.

The P174i cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark evidence because none exists in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder value, not a measured outcome. The processor's higher core count, higher boost clock, and ECC support may appeal to specific embedded workloads, but the data does not quantify any of those advantages.

For a buyer who needs a processor with demonstrated, recorded performance across a standard benchmark suite, the Ryzen 5 150 is the only option between these two that has any numbers to support a decision. The P174i's case rests entirely on its architectural features, which the database does not translate into performance figures.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The wins counters are 0 for both sides. This means there are no direct comparison scores where both CPUs ran the same test under identical conditions.

What exists instead is the Ryzen 5 150's standalone benchmark suite. The multi-thread score of 17,492 represents the CPU's ability to handle parallel workloads across its 6 cores and 12 threads. The single-thread score of 3,155 reflects its per-core performance with a 4.55 GHz boost clock and a 3.30 GHz base clock.

The integer math score of 62,151 and floating-point math score of 35,118 indicate strong arithmetic throughput. Data encryption at 13,425 and data compression at 211,289 show the CPU's handling of those specific workloads. Extended instructions score 14,675, while random string sorting reaches 22,382. Prime number finding, a notoriously single-thread-sensitive test, scores 47. Physics simulation scores 806.

Because the P174i has no benchmark results, the largest measurable win for the Ryzen 5 150 is the existence of any score at all. The P174i's absence from the benchmark table means no direct comparison can be drawn, and no single test shows a P174i advantage.

The nearest rival data for the Ryzen 5 150 provides context for its average score. The Intel Xeon 6349P has an average score of 34,890 with a 0% delta, meaning it is effectively tied with the Ryzen 5 150. The Intel Core 7 253PTE is 0.2% behind, the Intel Core i7-13800H is 0.3% behind, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX is 0.3% behind. These deltas are negligible, indicating that the Ryzen 5 150 performs within a tight cluster of comparable processors.

The P174i has no such rival context. Its average benchmark score is 0, and its nearest rival list is empty. This makes any performance claim about the P174i unsupported by the database.
