AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core 5 120HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 and the Intel Core 5 120HL. The recorded data shows a complete set of twelve Passmark tests for the AMD part, while the Intel Core 5 120HL has no benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, no direct score comparisons are possible between these two specific processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 posts an average benchmark score of 37,804 and holds an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 120HL shows an average benchmark score of zero and a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects the absence of recorded performance data rather than actual performance characteristics.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 delivers a multi-thread score of 19,262, a single-thread score of 3,713, and a physics score of 1,022. Its integer math result reaches 62,249, floating point math reaches 42,248, and extended instructions reach 16,520. Data compression scores 230,437, data encryption scores 11,444, random string sorting scores 25,181, and prime number finding scores 57. Since the Intel part has no recorded scores, the analysis must rely on the AMD processor's nearest rivals to contextualize its performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 sits within a tight cluster of comparable processors. It trails the Intel Core 5 211E by 0.1 percent, with that rival scoring 37,829. It leads the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 by 0.1 percent, which scores 37,762. It trails the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 by 0.3 percent and the Intel Core i9-14901E by 0.3 percent, both scoring 37,904 and 37,911 respectively. These delta values indicate that the P132's average score is statistically indistinguishable from its nearest competitors, all falling within a narrow 149-point spread. The data suggests the P132 performs at parity with a group of established mid-range and high-end processors, yet the absence of Intel Core 5 120HL benchmarks leaves its relative standing unknown.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the Gorgon Point codename with a generation label of Ryzen AI Embedded, built on a Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. The Intel Core 5 120HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename. Manufacturing differs as well: AMD fabricates the P132 on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while Intel fabricates the 120HL on a 10 nm process at its own foundry. The process node difference implies a significant density and efficiency advantage for the AMD design, though the database does not include transistor counts or die sizes to quantify this.

Cache structures also separate the two. The AMD P132 allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with a 4 MB L3 cache. The Intel 120HL also allocates 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core, and its L3 cache reaches 18 MB shared across the chip. The Intel part therefore offers substantially more aggregate cache, particularly at the L3 level, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. Neither processor includes 3D V-Cache.

The memory controllers differ in supported standards. The AMD P132 supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel 120HL supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not. The AMD P132 has a memory bandwidth rating of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure recorded. Both use dual-channel memory buses. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD P132 provides Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel 120HL provides Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics present another architectural split. The AMD P132 uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel 120HL uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units. The database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either part, so relative GPU performance cannot be assessed from recorded data. The AMD part is classified as Mobile market segment, while the Intel part is classified as Desktop, which aligns with their sockets: AMD Socket FP8 for the P132 and Intel Socket 1700 for the 120HL.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ markedly. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 120HL has 12 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part provides twice the core count and four additional threads, a structural advantage for parallel workloads if the cores deliver comparable per-thread performance. The base clock rates also differ: the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel part runs at 2.60 GHz. Boost clocks favor Intel as well, with the 120HL reaching 4.70 GHz versus the P132's 4.50 GHz. The thermal design power reflects these differences: the AMD part is rated at 28 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 45 watts, a 17-watt gap that indicates higher sustained power draw for the Intel design.

The cache hierarchies differ as described above: per-core L1 is identical at 80 KB, per-core L2 is 1 MB for AMD versus 2 MB for Intel, and L3 is 4 MB for AMD versus 18 MB shared for Intel. Memory support separates them by generation and ECC capability. The AMD part accepts DDR5 and LPDDR5X, the Intel part accepts DDR4 and DDR5. ECC is present on the AMD part and absent on the Intel part. The memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s applies only to the AMD part; no equivalent number exists for Intel. PCIe lane counts differ, with AMD providing 14 Gen 4 lanes and Intel providing 8 Gen 4 lanes. The integrated graphics differ in name and execution unit count, as noted. The process node differs: 4 nm TSMC for AMD versus 10 nm Intel for the Intel part. The release dates are separated by nearly two years, with Intel launching on 2024-04-07 and AMD on 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $279, while the AMD part has none recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part number is SRPFR; the AMD part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only a limited verdict. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has a full suite of twelve Passmark benchmark scores, an average score of 37,804, and an 86th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.3 percent of its average score, include the Intel Core 5 211E, AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, and Intel Core i9-14901E. The P132 therefore slots into a competitive performance tier, though it does not lead that tier: it trails three of its four nearest rivals by narrow margins. The Intel Core 5 120HL has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals, making any performance-based comparison impossible. The database cannot confirm whether the Intel part outperforms, matches, or trails the AMD part.

From a specification standpoint, the Intel Core 5 120HL offers more cores (12 versus 6), more threads (16 versus 12), higher base and boost clocks (2.60 versus 2.00 GHz, 4.70 versus 4.50 GHz), a larger L3 cache (18 MB versus 4 MB), and double the per-core L2 cache (2 MB versus 1 MB). It also supports DDR4 in addition to DDR5. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 counters with a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm), lower TDP (28 watts versus 45 watts), ECC memory support, LPDDR5X support, more PCIe lanes (14 versus 8), a higher memory bandwidth rating (89.6 GB/s versus none recorded), and a newer release date (2026 versus 2024). The AMD part is also classified as mobile, suggesting a lower-power embedded use case, while the Intel part is desktop-class.

Users requiring maximum multi-core throughput from the recorded specifications would favor the Intel Core 5 120HL based on its core, thread, and cache advantages. Users prioritizing power efficiency, ECC reliability, memory bandwidth, and a smaller process node would favor the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132. The absence of Intel benchmark data means the verdict rests on architectural and specification analysis rather than measured performance. The database currently cannot determine which processor delivers faster real-world results. The AMD part's 86th percentile ranking places it above the Intel part's 50th percentile ranking, but that percentile for Intel reflects absent data, not measured performance, and therefore carries no comparative weight. The only definitive conclusion is that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has verified benchmark scores within a tight competitive cluster, while the Intel Core 5 120HL has no verified scores at all. The choice between them depends entirely on whether the Intel part's raw specification advantages translate into benchmark results, which the database has yet to record.
