AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i9-14900 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a clear and consistent picture: the Intel Core i9-14900 outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 across every recorded test. Out of 11 head-to-head comparisons, the Intel processor wins all 11. The margins, however, vary significantly depending on the workload.

The largest single gap appears in the PassMark data encryption test. The Intel Core i9-14900 scores 33,540, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 11,444. This represents a 65.9% deficit for the AMD part. Similarly, floating point math shows a 64.9% gap, with Intel at 120,262 versus AMD at 42,248. Integer math follows closely at 64.4%, with scores of 175,010 and 62,249 respectively. These three tests indicate that the Intel processor holds a substantial advantage in raw computational throughput.

Another significant margin is in the prime number finding test. Intel scores 188, while AMD scores 57, a 69.7% difference. This is the largest percentage gap in the entire benchmark set. The extended instructions test shows a 46.1% difference, with Intel at 30,624 and AMD at 16,520.

The multithreaded PassMark score also favors Intel heavily. The i9-14900 records 44,578, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 records 19,262, a 56.8% difference. Data compression follows with Intel at 550,271 versus AMD at 230,437, a 58.1% gap. Random string sorting shows a 58.8% difference, with scores of 61,060 and 25,181. The physics test rounds out the large margins, showing a 58.9% gap (2,486 versus 1,022).

The smallest gap between the two processors appears in single-threaded performance. The Intel Core i9-14900 scores 4,323, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 3,713. This is a 14.1% difference. This is still a clear win for Intel, but it indicates that the AMD processor is comparatively closer in lightly threaded workloads than in heavily threaded or math-intensive tasks.

The average benchmark score in the database confirms this overall trend. The Intel Core i9-14900 has an average benchmark score of 58,115, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has an average of 37,804. This places the Intel part in the 92nd percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 86th percentile. The nearest rivals for the Intel processor include the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D at 58,386 (0.5% higher) and the Intel Xeon w5-2545 at 58,504 (0.7% higher). The AMD processor's nearest rivals include the Intel Core 5 211E at 37,829 (0.1% higher) and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37,904 (0.3% higher).

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i9-14900 uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, and is based on the Raptor Lake architecture. It is built on a 10 nm process by Intel.

The core configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel processor has 24 cores and 32 threads. This explains much of the multithreaded performance gap observed in the benchmarks. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock at 5.80 GHz, compared to 4.50 GHz for the AMD part. Both processors have a base clock of 2.00 GHz.

Cache hierarchy also differs. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor uses 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel processor uses 2 MB per core. The L3 cache shows a major difference: the AMD part has 4 MB total, while the Intel part has 36 MB shared. This larger cache pool likely contributes to the Intel processor's advantage in data compression and random string sorting tests.

The process node difference is notable: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. This gives AMD a density advantage in principle, but the Intel processor compensates with a much larger die size of 257 mm². The AMD processor's die size is not recorded in the database.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The AMD processor has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor's memory bandwidth is not listed. Both support ECC memory.

PCI Express capabilities differ as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Intel part a higher bandwidth interface for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ: the AMD processor uses Radeon 840M, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 770. The market segments are also distinct: the AMD part is classified as Mobile, while the Intel part is classified as Desktop. The sockets differ accordingly: AMD uses Socket FP8, while Intel uses Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The benchmark data gives a decisive answer: the Intel Core i9-14900 is the stronger processor in every measured category. It wins all 11 head-to-head tests in the database. The average benchmark score of 58,115 places it at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 sits at the 86th percentile with an average score of 37,804.

The Intel processor's advantage is most pronounced in multithreaded and math-heavy workloads. The 24-core, 32-thread configuration combined with 36 MB of L3 cache and a 5.80 GHz boost clock delivers scores that are 46% to 70% higher than the AMD part in most tests. The single-thread gap is narrower at 14.1%, but still favors Intel.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 does have one clear advantage in the recorded data: power consumption. Its 28 watt TDP is substantially lower than the Intel part's 65 watt TDP. This makes it suitable for mobile or embedded applications where thermal and power constraints are critical. However, this comes with a proportional reduction in performance.

The data does not show any workload where the AMD processor wins. Every benchmark result favors the Intel Core i9-14900.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Core i9-14900: This processor wins in every recorded benchmark category. It is the clear choice for workloads that demand maximum compute throughput. The data shows particular strength in data compression (550,271 versus 230,437), floating point math (120,262 versus 42,248), integer math (175,010 versus 62,249), and multithreaded tasks (44,578 versus 19,262). Its 36 MB of shared L3 cache and 32 threads give it a decisive edge in parallel processing and large dataset operations. The 92nd percentile ranking confirms its position among high-end desktop processors.

AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132: This processor does not win any benchmark in the database, but its 28 watt TDP makes it the more power-efficient option. The data shows it is closer to Intel in single-threaded performance (14.1% gap) than in multithreaded performance (56.8% gap). Its mobile market segment and Socket FP8 indicate it is designed for embedded or portable systems where the Intel desktop processor cannot operate. The 4 nm process node and LPDDR5X memory support suggest it is built for efficiency rather than peak performance. For users constrained by power budgets or physical size, this processor offers a functional alternative, but the recorded benchmarks show it delivers less performance in every test.
