AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a significant challenge in direct comparison: the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no individual benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed. Consequently, the head-to-head benchmark section must rely entirely on the aggregate performance metrics available for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, which has a full suite of PassMark test results.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 achieves an average benchmark score of 37804. This places it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its performance profile is consistent across various workloads. In single-threaded tasks, the P132 scores 3713. Multi-threaded performance is recorded at 19262. The data compression test yields a score of 230437, while data encryption completes with a score of 11444. Extended instruction workloads produce a score of 16520. The P132 finds prime numbers at a rate of 57, floating point math scores 42248, and integer math reaches 62249. Physics calculations score 1022, and random string sorting finishes with 25181.

When examining the P132's nearest rivals, the data provides context for its standing, even without a direct counterpart in the 8840U. The Intel Core 5 211E has an average score of 37829, which is 0.1% lower than the P132. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 37762, a 0.1% deficit. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 reaches 37904, placing it 0.3% ahead of the P132. The Intel Core i9-14901E also scores 37911, another 0.3% advantage. This cluster of scores, all within 0.3% of each other, indicates that the P132 is positioned in a tightly competitive performance band. The P132 is effectively tied with these processors in average benchmark score, with differences that are negligible in practical terms.

Because the 8840U lacks recorded benchmark data, there are no wins to attribute to either processor in this section. The absence of head-to-head benchmark entries and the zero win count for both items underscore that no direct performance comparison can be made from the database's measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share a common foundation in several areas but diverge significantly in their internal designs. Both are manufactured by AMD, use a 4 nm process node from TSMC, and are designed for the mobile market segment. They share the same AMD Socket FP8 socket and both have a thermal design power (TDP) of 28 watts. Memory support includes DDR5 for both, with the P132 also supporting LPDDR5X. Both utilize a dual-channel memory bus with an identical memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported by both.

The core architecture presents the first major difference. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses a hybrid design based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, with a codename of Gorgon Point. It has 6 cores and 12 threads. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U, codenamed Hawk Point, uses Zen 4 architecture with 8 cores and 16 threads. This core count difference is substantial, giving the 8840U two additional physical cores and four additional threads.

Cache configurations also differ sharply. The P132 has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a total of 4 MB of L3 cache. The 8840U has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a much larger 16 MB of shared L3 cache. This fourfold difference in L3 cache is a key architectural distinction.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The P132 uses a Radeon 840M, while the 8840U features a Radeon 780M. PCIe support varies, with the P132 providing Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only) and the 8840U providing Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The 8840U also has recorded physical characteristics: 25,000 million transistors and a die size of 178 mm². These figures are not present for the P132.

Clock speeds show the 8840U with a higher frequency range. Its base clock is 3.30 GHz and boost clock is 5.10 GHz. The P132 has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The release dates differ, with the 8840U released in 2024 and the P132 released in 2026.

Where Each One Wins

The database provides no benchmark wins for either processor. The winsA and winsB fields are both set to 0. This means a direct workload-by-workload comparison of where one processor beats the other is not possible from the recorded data.

However, the architectural data suggests potential strengths for each, though these are not confirmed by measured scores. The 8840U has a higher core count (8 versus 6) and a larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 4 MB). Its higher base and boost clocks (3.30 GHz and 5.10 GHz versus 2.00 GHz and 4.50 GHz) could indicate an advantage in tasks that are sensitive to raw frequency, such as lightly threaded workloads. The P132, with its Zen 5 and Zen 5c hybrid architecture, may offer different efficiency characteristics, but no measured data confirms this.

The P132's benchmark suite shows it performs well in absolute terms. Its single-thread score of 3713 and multi-thread score of 19262 are recorded, but without 8840U scores, no relative judgment can be made. The 86th percentile ranking for the P132 indicates it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database. The 8840U's 50th percentile ranking, based on its average score of 0, is not a meaningful comparison since that score reflects missing data rather than measured performance.

In essence, the data allows for a description of the P132's capabilities but not a comparative assessment of where each chip wins. Any statement about the 8840U's strengths would be speculative and outside the recorded facts.

The Verdict

The data leads to a clear but limited conclusion. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is fully characterized in the database with a complete set of benchmark scores, an average score of 37804, and a percentile ranking of 86. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, indicating competitive parity with a set of mainstream and high-performance processors.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U lacks any benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals. The database cannot confirm its performance level relative to the P132 or any other processor. The 8840U's architectural specifications show more cores, more cache, and higher clocks, but these do not translate into measurable scores in the database.

For a user selecting between these two based solely on the database, the P132 is the only option with verified performance data. Its scores and percentile ranking provide a concrete basis for evaluation. The 8840U's performance is unverified, and any choice favoring it would rely on specifications rather than measured results. The P132's 86th percentile ranking confirms it sits above the median in the database's CPU population. The 8840U's 50th percentile is a placeholder value, not a performance indicator.

Therefore, from the data alone, the P132 is the better-documented and benchmark-validated choice. The 8840U's specifications may be attractive on paper, but the absence of recorded performance makes it impossible to recommend based on measurements.
