AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i3-14100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall victory for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, which wins 9 of the 11 shared benchmark comparisons. The Intel Core i3-14100 takes the remaining 2, both in single-threaded tests. The magnitude of the AMD lead varies sharply by workload type, with the largest gaps appearing in data processing and sorting tasks.

The biggest single advantage for the AMD part is in random string sorting, where it scores 25,181 against Intel's 17,397, a 44.7% advantage. This suggests a substantial difference in memory-access patterns and branch handling under irregular workloads. Extended instructions show the next largest gap: AMD scores 16,520 versus 11,865, a 39.2% lead, indicating stronger SIMD or specialized instruction throughput. Integer math follows closely, with AMD at 62,249 against 45,329, a 37.3% delta. The data compression test also favors AMD heavily: 230,437 versus 174,115, a 32.3% improvement. Encryption performance shows a 29.5% lead for AMD (11,444 vs. 8,838), and multithreaded throughput delivers a 27.6% advantage (19,262 vs. 15,095). Floating-point math lands at a 19.8% margin (42,248 vs. 35,266). The physics test is closer, with AMD ahead by only 6.7% (1,022 vs. 958). The narrowest AMD win is in prime number finding, where the score is 57 versus 55, a 3.6% edge.

The Intel Core i3-14100's only wins are in the two single-thread PassMark entries, scoring 3,759 versus 3,713, a 1.2% margin. This is a small but consistent lead in lightly threaded, latency-sensitive work. The database records the same result under both test names, confirming the single-thread advantage is reproducible.

Looking at overall average benchmark scores, the AMD part records 37,804, while the Intel part records 18,318. This places the AMD chip in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, compared to the 72nd percentile for Intel. The AMD's nearest rivals by average score include the Intel Core 5 211E at 37,829 (0.1% behind the AMD) and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37,904 (0.3% ahead). The Intel i3-14100's closest competitor is the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 (0.3% behind it), showing the i3-14100 sits in a tightly clustered group of lower-average-score parts.

Q: Does the Intel Core i3-14100 win any benchmark?

A: Yes, it wins both single-thread PassMark tests with a score of 3,759 versus 3,713 for the AMD, a 1.2% margin. No other benchmark in the shared set goes to Intel.

Q: How do the two chips compare in data compression?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 230,437 in PassMark data compression, which is 32.3% higher than the Intel's 174,115.

Q: What is the difference in average benchmark score?

A: The AMD records an average benchmark score of 37,804, while the Intel records 18,318. The AMD also sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, versus the 72nd percentile for the Intel.

Q: Are the single-thread scores close?

A: Very close. The Intel leads by only 46 points (3,759 vs. 3,713), a 1.2% difference. This is the smallest margin in the entire head-to-head set, and it is the only category where Intel wins.

Q: Which chip has a larger cache?

A: The Intel Core i3-14100 has a shared 12 MB L3 cache, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has a 4 MB L3 cache. However, the AMD has 1 MB L2 per core versus Intel's 1.25 MB per core, and both have 80 KB L1 per core.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design families. 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. The Intel Core i3-14100 uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series (Raptor Lake Refresh), fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD's node advantage is reflected in its lower thermal design power of 28 watts, compared to the Intel's 60 watts.

Core counts differ significantly: the AMD has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel has 4 cores and 8 threads. This explains much of the AMD's multithreaded lead. Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both use 80 KB L1 per core, but the AMD allocates 1 MB L2 per core, while the Intel gives 1.25 MB per core. The L3 differs dramatically: the AMD has only 4 MB total, whereas the Intel has 12 MB shared. Despite the smaller L3, the AMD's higher core count and newer process deliver better throughput in most measured workloads.

Memory support shows a clear generational split. The AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel does not have a recorded bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ as well: the AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel's PCIe generation is newer, but the AMD's lane count is only two fewer.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Neither is a high-end part, but their presence means both chips can operate without a discrete GPU.

The Intel part has a known die size of 163 mm², while the AMD's die size is not recorded. The Intel's part number is SRMX1; the AMD's part number is unknown. The Intel has a listed launch MSRP of $134, while the AMD does not have a recorded launch MSRP.

The base and boost clocks favor Intel: 3.50 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost versus 2.00 GHz and 4.50 GHz for the AMD. However, the AMD's higher core count and lower TDP indicate a more efficient design per watt. The Intel's release date is earlier (2024-01-07) than the AMD's (2026-03-08), and the AMD targets mobile while the Intel targets desktop.

The Verdict

The data points to two different usage profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is the stronger compute engine in almost every measured category. Its multithread score is 27.6% higher, and it leads by over 30% in data compression, integer math, and random string sorting. The 44.7% sorting advantage and 39.2% extended-instructions lead suggest it handles data-heavy, parallel, and SIMD-oriented tasks far better. Its 28 W TDP, despite a smaller L3 cache, indicates a power-efficient design that still outperforms the Intel in throughput.

The Intel Core i3-14100 is the better choice only where single-threaded latency is the sole criterion. Its 1.2% single-thread lead is real but small. It also offers a larger shared L3 cache (12 MB vs. 4 MB), newer PCIe generation (Gen 5 vs. Gen 4), and support for DDR4 in addition to DDR5. For legacy systems requiring DDR4 compatibility or legacy desktop sockets, the Intel is the only viable option, as the AMD uses AMD Socket FP8 and only supports DDR5/LPDDR5X.

The average benchmark score difference (37,804 vs. 18,318) and percentile ranking (86th vs. 72nd) confirm the AMD is in a higher performance class overall. The Intel's nearest rivals by average score are other low-power Core parts, while the AMD competes with mid-range Ryzen AI and Intel Core 5 or i9-class chips. Users prioritizing raw throughput, multithreaded workloads, or energy efficiency should select the AMD. Users locked into the LGA 1700 platform, needing DDR4 support, or optimizing for single-thread response should select the Intel.
