AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a one-sided benchmark comparison because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark entries in the database. The AMD Ryzen 5 220, by contrast, has a full set of measured scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests. This means every head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the Ryzen 5 220's results, with the P185i's performance remaining unquantified.

The Ryzen 5 220 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,502 and a single-core score of 2,188. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 6,510 multi-core and 918 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1,562 multi-core and 220 single-core. Geekbench results include 7,974 multi-core and 2,027 single-core. Passmark tests show a multi-thread score of 18,582 and a single-thread score of 3,646. Additional Passmark sub-tests include integer math at 57,987, floating point math at 35,500, extended instructions at 15,512, data encryption at 12,493, data compression at 212,739, physics at 983, prime number finding at 65, and random string sorting at 25,433.

The Ryzen 5 220's average benchmark score sits at 22,289, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-10700K with an average score of 22,230 and a delta of 0.3 percent, meaning the Ryzen 5 220 is 0.3 percent ahead. The Intel Core i5-13500H scores 22,468, which is 0.8 percent higher than the Ryzen 5 220. The Intel Core i7-1270P scores 22,502, 0.9 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X scores 21,992, 1.4 percent lower than the Ryzen 5 220.

The P185i has a percentile rank of 50 and an average benchmark score of 0, with no nearest rivals listed. This indicates the database has no performance measurements for it yet. Any claim about the P185i's speed relative to the Ryzen 5 220 would be unsupported by the data.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 220 wins in every measurable benchmark category, but only because the P185i has no recorded scores. The data shows the Ryzen 5 220's strengths in multi-threaded workloads, as indicated by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,502 and Passmark multi-thread score of 18,582. Its single-thread performance is also solid, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2,027 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,646.

The P185i wins on specifications that are not tied to benchmark scores. It has double the core count (12 versus 6) and double the thread count (24 versus 12). It also has a higher boost clock (5.10 GHz versus 4.90 GHz), a larger die (233 mm² versus 137 mm²), a newer integrated GPU (Radeon 890M versus Radeon 740M), ECC memory support, and support for both DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory. These advantages could translate to performance gains in certain workloads, but the database has no measurements to confirm this.

For users prioritizing verified performance, the Ryzen 5 220 is the only option with data. For users prioritizing raw specifications like core count, memory flexibility, and ECC support, the P185i presents a compelling profile, but its actual performance remains unknown.

Specification Differences

The two CPUs share several specifications: both are AMD processors, both use AMD Socket FP8, both have a TDP of 28 watts, both use TSMC as the foundry, both are built on a 4 nm process, both have dual-channel memory buses, both have a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, both support DDR5 memory, both have 16 MB of L3 cache, both have 1 MB of L2 cache per core, both are unlocked multipliers, both target the mobile market segment, and both have active production status.

Differences include core count (6 versus 12), thread count (12 versus 24), base clock (3.20 GHz versus 2.00 GHz), boost clock (4.90 GHz versus 5.10 GHz), die size (137 mm² versus 233 mm²), L1 cache (64 KB per core versus 80 KB per core), memory support (DDR5 only versus DDR5 and LPDDR5X), ECC memory (false versus true), PCIe lanes (14 versus 16), integrated graphics (Radeon 740M versus Radeon 890M), release date (2025-01-05 versus 2026-02-28), and part number (100-000001611 versus unknown).

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 220 uses Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename. Its generation is listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen 4 (Hawk Point)). The transistor count is 20,900 million.

The P185i uses a combination of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, with the codename Gorgon Point. Its generation is listed as Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). The transistor count is not recorded in the database.

The architecture differences are significant. Zen 4 in the Ryzen 5 220 is a mature design focused on balanced single-thread and multi-thread performance. The P185i's Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid approach typically allows for higher core counts while managing power, and the 5.10 GHz boost clock suggests strong single-thread capability. However, without benchmark data, the practical impact of these architectural differences cannot be measured.

The L1 cache difference (64 KB per core for the Ryzen 5 220 versus 80 KB per core for the P185i) reflects the newer Zen 5 design. The P185i's larger die (233 mm² versus 137 mm²) accommodates the additional cores and the updated GPU. Both use the same 4 nm TSMC process, so the die size difference comes from the internal design, not the manufacturing node.

The Verdict

The database currently offers a clear picture for the AMD Ryzen 5 220: it is a verified performer with an average benchmark score of 22,289, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show it is competitive with the Intel Core i7-10700K (0.3 percent ahead), the Intel Core i5-13500H (0.8 percent behind), the Intel Core i7-1270P (0.9 percent behind), and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (1.4 percent ahead). These deltas are small, meaning the Ryzen 5 220 sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile rank. This is not a performance verdict; it is a data gap. Users selecting between these two must decide based on specifications alone for the P185i.

For workloads that depend on measured multi-thread performance, the Ryzen 5 220 is the only choice with supporting data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,502 and Passmark multi-thread score of 18,582 indicate solid throughput for a 6-core, 12-thread part.

For workloads that depend on core count, memory flexibility, or ECC support, the P185i offers twice the cores (12 versus 6), twice the threads (24 versus 12), LPDDR5X support, and ECC memory. Its 5.10 GHz boost clock is higher than the Ryzen 5 220's 4.90 GHz, and its Radeon 890M integrated GPU is a newer generation than the Radeon 740M.

The verdict is conditional. The Ryzen 5 220 is the proven option with a complete benchmark profile. The P185i is the specification leader on paper, but its performance is unverified. Any purchasing decision should weigh the Ryzen 5 220's confirmed results against the P185i's unmeasured potential. The database will need P185i benchmark entries before a direct performance comparison can be made. Until then, the Ryzen 5 220 remains the only CPU in this pairing with recorded data, and it holds a 75th percentile rank among all CPUs. The P185i's rank of 50th percentile, based on no data, should not be interpreted as a performance level.
