AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most tests. However, the Ryzen 5 5600XT's performance profile can be interpreted against its nearest rivals, which include Intel parts such as the Core i9-13900H, Core i5-12600H, Core i7-12650H, and Core Ultra 5 135H.

The Ryzen 5 5600XT delivers a multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 18,724 points, a result that places it in the upper tier of desktop processors. Its single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2,643 points indicates strong per-thread performance, a characteristic consistent with the Zen 3 architecture's design priorities. In Passmark tests, the chip records 22,283 in multithread performance and 3,469 in single-thread performance. The database also shows a Passmark integer math score of 71,063 and a floating point math score of 40,537, both of which suggest robust computational throughput for mixed workloads.

The average benchmark score for the Ryzen 5 5600XT is 28,940, placing it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, posts an average score of 29,093, which is 0.5% higher. The gap is small, but it shows the 5600XT trailing slightly behind that particular mobile processor in aggregate performance. Conversely, the Ryzen 5 5600XT leads the Intel Core i9-13900H by 0.2% (28,940 versus 28,886), leads the Core i5-12600H by 0.2% (28,940 versus 28,882), and leads the Core i7-12650H by 0.4% (28,940 versus 28,815). These delta values are narrow, indicating that the 5600XT sits in a highly competitive band of processors where small margins separate the contenders.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P174, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile. Without measured results, the database cannot establish a head-to-head score comparison between the two AMD parts. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural and specification differences to contextualize the expected performance gap.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 5600XT uses the Zen 3 architecture under the codename Vermeer, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The chip includes 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. Cache allocation consists of 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. Memory support is limited to DDR4 with dual-channel operation and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The processor supports ECC memory and uses the AMD Socket AM4. It provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The multiplier is unlocked, allowing overclocking. It targets the desktop market segment and its production status is listed as active.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c configuration under the codename Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has 10 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The die size is 233 mm², considerably larger than the 5600XT's 74 mm², though the transistor count is not recorded in the database. Cache configuration differs substantially: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. Memory support includes DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel operation and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, which is significantly higher than the 5600XT's 51.2 GB/s. ECC memory is supported. The socket is AMD Socket FP8, and the chip provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Unlike the 5600XT, the multiplier is locked. The P174 integrates Radeon 880M graphics, whereas the 5600XT has no integrated graphics. The P174 targets the mobile embedded market segment and its production status is active.

The process node difference is notable: 7 nm for the 5600XT versus 4 nm for the P174. The newer node allows the P174 to pack more cores into a larger die while maintaining a much lower TDP of 28 watts compared to the 5600XT's 65 watts. The P174's boost clock of 5.00 GHz is higher than the 5600XT's 4.70 GHz, but its base clock of 2.00 GHz is significantly lower. The P174 also uses a smaller L3 cache (16 MB versus 32 MB) but larger per-core L1 and L2 caches. The memory subsystem favors the P174 with faster DDR5 and LPDDR5X support and higher bandwidth, while the 5600XT retains the older DDR4 standard.

The Verdict

The data indicates two processors designed for different roles. The Ryzen 5 5600XT is a desktop part with a 65-watt TDP, a 7 nm Zen 3 design, and measured benchmark results that place it in the 81st percentile. Its aggregate score of 28,940 puts it within 0.5% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and slightly ahead of the Core i9-13900H, Core i5-12600H, and Core i7-12650H. For users who need a desktop processor with proven multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, the 5600XT delivers verified results across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and Passmark tests.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is a mobile embedded part with a 28-watt TDP, a 4 nm process, and a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c design. It offers more cores (10 versus 6), more threads (20 versus 12), a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz), faster memory support (DDR5, LPDDR5X versus DDR4), higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s), and integrated Radeon 880M graphics. It also has a larger die at 233 mm². However, the database contains no benchmark scores for this processor, so its actual performance cannot be verified from recorded measurements. Its percentile ranking of 50 is based on an average score of 0, which reflects the absence of data rather than a measured performance level.

The choice between these two processors depends on the target platform. The Ryzen 5 5600XT suits desktop builds where its unlocked multiplier, AM4 socket compatibility, and established benchmark results matter. The Ryzen AI Embedded P174 suits mobile or embedded systems where lower power consumption, integrated graphics, and newer memory standards are priorities. The 5600XT leads in L3 cache capacity (32 MB versus 16 MB) and PCIe lane count (20 versus 16), while the P174 leads in core count, process node, memory bandwidth, and boost clock. No benchmark data exists for the P174, so any performance comparison beyond specifications remains unverified.
