AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data reveals a clear split between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is positioned for sustained, multi-threaded workloads within a mobile power envelope, while the Intel Core 7 150UL is configured for lower power operation with a higher peak frequency. The AMD part holds a substantial performance advantage in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37,804, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part has no recorded average score and sits in the 50th percentile. The AMD processor is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data, and it outperforms the Intel part across every measured category available in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 should be selected for tasks that demand high instruction throughput and parallel processing, such as scientific computing, data compression, or encryption workloads. The Intel Core 7 150UL, with its lower 15 W TDP compared to the AMD chip's 28 W, is the choice for thermally constrained or battery-powered systems where peak clock speed matters more than sustained multi-threaded output. The Intel part boosts to 5.00 GHz, which is 0.50 GHz higher than the AMD chip's 4.50 GHz ceiling, but the AMD chip's base clock of 2.00 GHz is higher than the Intel part's 1.70 GHz base.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 wins in every benchmark category where data exists. In single-threaded performance, the AMD chip scores 3,713, which indicates strong per-core efficiency. The Intel Core 7 150UL has no recorded single-thread score, so no direct comparison is possible, but the AMD part's 6 cores and 12 threads at a 4.50 GHz boost clock deliver a balanced profile. The AMD chip's multi-thread score of 19,262 shows its ability to handle concurrent workloads, while its integer math score of 62,249 and floating point math score of 42,248 demonstrate strong arithmetic capability.

The Intel Core 7 150UL's advantage lies in its configuration. It has 10 cores and 12 threads, which means 4 additional physical cores compared to the AMD chip, but the same thread count. This suggests a hybrid core arrangement typical of the Raptor Lake architecture, where some cores handle lighter tasks. The Intel part's higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz gives it a theoretical edge in lightly threaded applications that rely on a single core reaching maximum frequency. The Intel chip also uses a 10 nm process node from Intel, while the AMD chip uses a 4 nm node from TSMC, which affects power efficiency and thermal characteristics.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, which is a smaller transistor geometry than the Intel part's 10 nm node. The AMD chip's cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 7 150UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. Its cache structure features 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a larger 12 MB of shared L3 cache.

The L3 cache difference is notable. The Intel chip has 3 times more shared L3 cache (12 MB vs 4 MB), which can reduce memory latency for frequently accessed data. However, the AMD chip supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip provides 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides 8 PCIe Gen 4 lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 includes a Radeon 840M GPU, while the Intel Core 7 150UL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The AMD chip is classified as mobile in the database, and the Intel part is classified as desktop, despite the Intel part's lower TDP. The AMD chip was released on 2026-03-08, and the Intel part was released on 2024-04-07, making the Intel chip earlier by roughly two years.
