AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G vs AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 share a codename and process node, but the benchmark data positions them in entirely different performance classes. The 450G records an average benchmark score of 63331, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Embedded P132 averages 37804, landing in the 86th percentile. Across all eleven recorded head-to-head tests, the 450G wins every single one, with margins ranging from a modest 16.1% in single-threaded work to a commanding 74.8% in data compression.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single victory for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G comes in the PassMark data compression test, where it scores 402831 against the Embedded P132’s 230437. That is a 74.8% advantage, the widest gap in the entire comparison. This result indicates a substantial lead in workloads that rely on rapid data throughput and efficient multi-core scheduling.

The 450G also dominates in extended instruction workloads, scoring 28223 versus 16520, a 70.8% delta. Random string sorting shows a 69.4% advantage (42663 to 25181), and data encryption delivers a 65.5% lead (18937 to 11444). These are not marginal wins; they are consistent, large margins across different types of computational stress.

Integer math performance is another clear separator. The 450G scores 99732, while the Embedded P132 manages 62249, a 60.2% difference. The multi-threaded PassMark score tells a similar story: 30422 versus 19262, a 57.9% lead for the 450G. Even in floating-point math, where the delta narrows to 50.7%, the 450G still wins decisively with 63683 against 42248.

The smallest advantage for the 450G is in the single-thread tests, where it scores 4309 against 3713, a 16.1% lead. This is still a clear win, but it shows that the Embedded P132 is comparatively closer in lightly-threaded performance. The physics test shows a 40.9% gap (1440 to 1022), and the find-prime-numbers test shows a 52.6% gap (87 to 57). Across all eleven recorded benchmarks, the 450G records eleven wins and zero losses, making the overall performance hierarchy unambiguous.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on the same Gorgon Point architecture and use the same 4 nm TSMC process node. They share the same Zen 5 / Zen 5c core generation and both support DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with identical 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. Both also enable ECC memory support.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Ryzen AI 7 450G packs 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The L3 cache is halved on the Embedded P132: 4 MB versus 8 MB on the 450G. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core, and L2 is also the same at 1 MB per core.

Clock speeds follow the core count difference. Both start at a 2.00 GHz base clock, but the 450G boosts to 5.10 GHz, well ahead of the Embedded P132’s 4.50 GHz peak. The 450G is a desktop part with an unlocked multiplier, while the Embedded P132 is a mobile part with a locked multiplier.

The platform sockets are different: the 450G uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Embedded P132 uses AMD Socket FP8. PCIe lane counts also differ, with the 450G providing Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes and the Embedded P132 providing Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics are not the same: the 450G carries a Radeon 860M, while the Embedded P132 has a Radeon 840M.

Power and thermal targets are another key differentiator. The 450G has a TDP of 65 watts, while the Embedded P132 is rated at 28 watts. The die size is recorded for the 450G at 195 mm², while no die size is listed for the Embedded P132.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G wins all eleven recorded head-to-head tests, and the margins are substantial in most categories. The average benchmark score difference, 63331 versus 37804, represents a 67.5% higher average for the 450G. The percentile rankings confirm the gap: 93rd versus 86th.

The 450G is the stronger processor in every measured workload. It has more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, double the L3 cache, and a higher TDP ceiling. The single-thread advantage of 16.1% is the only area where the Embedded P132 comes close, but even there, the 450G wins.

The Embedded P132 is a lower-power part, with a 28-watt TDP versus 65 watts, and it targets the mobile segment. It also offers two additional PCIe lanes. For applications that prioritize raw compute performance, multi-threaded throughput, and maximum clock speed, the data clearly selects the 450G.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G wins in every benchmark category recorded. Its largest margins are in data compression (74.8%), extended instructions (70.8%), and random string sorting (69.4%). It also takes large leads in data encryption (65.5%) and integer math (60.2%). For multi-threaded workloads, physics, and floating-point math, it maintains a 40.9% to 57.9% advantage.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 does not win any recorded benchmark. Its closest result is the single-thread test, where it trails by 16.1%. It also has a lower TDP of 28 watts, which may be preferable in power-constrained environments, and it provides two additional PCIe lanes (14 versus 12). For any workload measured in this database, however, the 450G is the faster part.
