AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear split between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 and the Intel Core 7 350, with the AMD part winning 6 of the 11 recorded comparisons and the Intel part taking 5. The margins, however, are heavily asymmetric. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 dominates in throughput-oriented workloads, while the Intel Core 7 350 secures narrower victories in latency-sensitive and single-threaded tasks.

The largest win for the AMD part comes in passmark_integer_math, where it scores 62249 against 33734 for the Intel Core 7 350, a delta of 84.5%. This is the single biggest gap in the entire head-to-head set and indicates a substantial advantage in arithmetic-heavy integer processing. Data compression also favors AMD decisively: 230437 versus 143123, a 61% lead. Random string sorting goes to AMD by 46.1% (25181 versus 17238), and extended instructions show a 37.2% advantage (16520 versus 12045). Multithread performance is another AMD win, with 19262 versus 15170, a 27% margin. Data encryption is close but still AMD's: 11444 versus 10933, a 4.7% edge.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins the remaining tests, but by smaller margins. Its biggest victory is in passmark_find_prime_numbers, where it scores 107 against 57 for AMD, a 46.7% lead in AMD's favor when expressed as a negative delta for AMD. Note the direction: Intel is 46.7% ahead in this specific test. Single-thread performance goes to Intel by 9.4% (4100 versus 3713), and physics simulation favors Intel by 12.9% (1173 versus 1022). Floating point math is nearly a tie: Intel scores 42809 versus AMD's 42248, a 1.3% lead.

Looking at the overall average benchmark score, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 sits at 37804, while the Intel Core 7 350 averages 17779. That puts AMD's average score more than double Intel's, though this average is influenced by the fact that Intel's recorded benchmark suite includes Cinebench results (R15, R20, R23) which are not present for AMD, and conversely AMD's Passmark scores are not all mirrored in Intel's list. The percentile rankings tell a similar story: AMD is in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while Intel is in the 71st.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation, fabricated on Intel's 3 nm process.

The AMD part supports simultaneous multithreading, delivering 12 threads from 6 cores. The Intel part does not support hyper-threading, so its 6 cores produce only 6 threads. This explains much of the multithread performance gap.

Cache hierarchies differ sharply. AMD uses 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. Intel uses 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. Intel's larger per-core L1 and L2 caches likely contribute to its single-thread wins, while AMD's smaller L3 (4 MB versus 6 MB) is offset by its higher thread count in heavy parallel workloads.

Memory architecture also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 supports dual-channel memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 7 350 supports single-channel memory with 59.7 GB/s. Both accept DDR5 and LPDDR5X modules, but the AMD part's dual-channel configuration provides roughly 50% more memory bandwidth, which helps in data-heavy tasks like compression and integer math. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part.

PCIe lane allocation differs: the AMD processor provides 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor provides 6 Gen 4 lanes. This makes AMD significantly more capable for connecting peripherals or accelerators directly to the CPU.

Integrated graphics also diverge. AMD includes a Radeon 840M GPU, while Intel includes Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The database does not record comparative graphics benchmark scores, so no quantitative verdict is possible here.

The Verdict

The data points to two different usage profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is the stronger all-round performer, with a higher average benchmark score (37804 versus 17779), a higher percentile ranking (86 versus 71), and decisive wins in integer math, compression, sorting, extended instructions, encryption, and multithread throughput. Its dual-channel memory controller and 12 threads give it a structural advantage in parallel workloads.

The Intel Core 7 350 is the better choice for single-threaded responsiveness. It wins the single-thread test by 9.4%, prime number finding by 46.7%, physics by 12.9%, and floating point math by a slim 1.3%. Its higher boost clock (4.80 GHz versus 4.50 GHz), larger L1 and L2 caches, and lower TDP (15 W versus 28 W) make it an efficient option for lightly threaded tasks.

The average benchmark gap is enormous, but it must be read carefully. Intel's recorded average includes Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 scores, which are not present in AMD's list, while AMD's Passmark suite includes tests like data compression and encryption that heavily favor its thread count. Within the shared Passmark head-to-head set, AMD wins 6 tests and Intel wins 5, but AMD's wins are much larger in absolute terms.

For embedded or mobile deployments where sustained parallel throughput matters, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is the data-supported pick. For power-constrained designs prioritizing single-core latency and a lower 15 W envelope, the Intel Core 7 350 has clear advantages. The Intel part also carries a recorded launch MSRP of $469; no launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 wins in data compression (61% ahead), integer math (84.5% ahead), random string sorting (46.1% ahead), extended instructions (37.2% ahead), multithread performance (27% ahead), and data encryption (4.7% ahead). These are all workloads that scale with thread count and memory bandwidth. Any application that compresses files, processes large integer arrays, sorts strings, or runs parallel encryption will favor the AMD part.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins in prime number finding (46.7% ahead), physics simulation (12.9% ahead), single-thread performance (9.4% ahead), and floating point math (1.3% ahead). These are workloads that depend on per-core speed, cache locality, and low latency rather than raw parallelism. The Intel part's larger per-core L1 (192 KB versus 80 KB) and L2 (2.5 MB versus 1 MB) caches likely underpin these wins.

The overall picture from the recorded data: choose the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 for throughput-heavy embedded workloads with multiple threads and wide memory traffic. Choose the Intel Core 7 350 for efficiency-focused designs where single-thread responsiveness and lower power draw are the priority. The two processors do not compete on the same terms; they serve different corners of the mobile embedded market.
