AMD Ryzen 5 7400 vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400 enters the database with a complete set of PassMark benchmark results, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 currently has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry shapes the entire comparison: the Ryzen 5 7400 delivers measurable performance data across eleven distinct workloads, whereas the Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is listed with an average benchmark score of zero and no individual test results. The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the win counts stand at zero for both parts.

Focusing on the Ryzen 5 7400's recorded performance, the strongest results appear in data compression, where it scores 261,749, a figure that dwarfs its other integer-heavy workloads. Data encryption reaches 14,865, extended instructions hit 19,924, and random string sorting lands at 31,110. The floating-point math score of 40,784 and integer math score of 64,733 both sit comfortably above the processor's average benchmark score of 42,055. The processor finds prime numbers at a rate of 79, and its physics score is 1,150. Multi-thread performance is recorded at 21,712, while single-thread performance is 3,248.

The Ryzen 5 7400's average benchmark score of 42,055 places it at the 88th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals show how tightly packed this segment is. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS averages 41,963, which is 0.2% behind the Ryzen 5 7400. The Intel Core i7-14700T averages 41,914, a 0.3% deficit. The Intel Core i7-12850HX comes in at 41,779, trailing by 0.7%. On the other side, the Intel Core i9-12900K averages 42,335, leading the Ryzen 5 7400 by 0.7%. These delta percentages are remarkably small, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7400 sits in a performance band where rival processors are essentially interchangeable within a margin of less than one percent.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P174, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, but this figure is based on no actual benchmark data. Its average score of zero reflects the absence of recorded PassMark results. The database lists no nearest rivals for this part, which further confirms that no comparable performance measurements exist for it. Any performance claims about the P174 must rely on its architectural specifications rather than empirical test results.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split between these two processors. For users seeking verified, measured performance, the Ryzen 5 7400 is the only option with recorded benchmark scores. Its 88th percentile ranking and average score of 42,055 provide concrete evidence of its standing among all CPUs. The Ryzen 5 7400 also offers an unlocked multiplier, a feature that allows frequency adjustments, and its boost clock reaches 4.30 GHz from a base of 3.30 GHz.

For users prioritizing power efficiency and a hybrid core design, the Ryzen AI Embedded P174 presents a different profile. It operates at a 28 W TDP, substantially lower than the Ryzen 5 7400's 65 W TDP. The P174 pairs a 2.00 GHz base clock with a 5.00 GHz boost clock, giving it a higher maximum frequency than the Ryzen 5 7400's 4.30 GHz boost. The P174 also brings 10 cores and 20 threads versus the Ryzen 5 7400's 6 cores and 12 threads, plus a newer 4 nm process node versus the 5 nm node of the Ryzen 5 7400.

The verdict from the database is straightforward: the Ryzen 5 7400 is the choice for anyone who needs measured performance data and desktop-oriented flexibility. The Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is the choice for embedded or mobile deployments where the lower 28 W TDP, higher boost clock, and larger core count matter more than verified benchmark scores. The P174's 233 mm² die size, which is over three times larger than the Ryzen 5 7400's 71 mm² die, suggests a more complex integrated design, but without benchmark data, its real-world performance remains unquantified in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 7400 wins in every category where performance has been measured. Its recorded scores span data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating-point math, integer math, multi-threading, physics, random string sorting, and single-thread performance. The 0.2% to 0.7% margins over its nearest rivals in average score indicate that the Ryzen 5 7400 is not a dominant performer, but rather a solid mid-pack contender that edges out several Intel and AMD parts by narrow margins. Its 88th percentile ranking confirms that it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database.
