AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database currently contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i or the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS. With zero head-to-head benchmark entries, there are no measurable wins for either processor in the comparison table. The average benchmark score for both parts is recorded as zero, and both occupy the 50th percentile among all tracked CPUs.

The absence of recorded performance data means the comparison must rely entirely on the specification fields present in the database. The 8845HS carries an 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The P132i is a 6-core, 12-thread part with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. These figures indicate a substantial raw frequency advantage for the 8845HS, as its base clock is 1.80 GHz higher and its boost clock is 0.60 GHz higher.

The 8845HS also holds the advantage in thermal design power, rated at 45 watts compared to the P132i's 28 watts. This 17-watt difference suggests the 8845HS is designed to sustain higher sustained loads, while the P132i targets lower-power environments. The cache hierarchy favors the 8845HS as well: it offers 16 MB of shared L3 cache versus 4 MB on the P132i. Per-core L2 is identical at 1 MB, and the L1 cache differs, with 64 KB per core on the 8845HS and 80 KB per core on the P132i.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS is positioned for tasks that benefit from higher core counts and higher clock frequencies. Its 8-core, 16-thread layout, combined with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, makes it the stronger candidate for multi-threaded workloads and lightly threaded tasks that respond to raw clock speed. The larger 16 MB shared L3 cache also supports workloads with moderate working sets that benefit from more on-die storage. The 45-watt TDP indicates the platform is expected to supply more power, which in turn allows the processor to maintain higher performance under sustained load.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i is oriented toward efficiency. Its 28-watt TDP is the key differentiator, allowing for thermally constrained designs where power draw and heat dissipation are limiting factors. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 2.00 GHz base clock and 4.50 GHz boost clock still provides capable performance for embedded workloads, but the lower power envelope is the primary advantage. The P132i also supports LPDDR5X memory in addition to DDR5, which can enable more compact memory layouts in space-limited embedded systems. Its smaller 4 MB L3 cache suggests it is intended for workloads with smaller memory footprints.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The 8845HS uses the Radeon 780M, while the P132i uses the Radeon 840M. The database does not include benchmark scores for either GPU, so a direct performance comparison is not possible from recorded data.

Specification Differences

The two processors share several core platform attributes: both are manufactured by AMD, both use AMD Socket FP8, both are built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, both support dual-channel memory with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, both support ECC memory, both are classified as mobile market segment parts, and both are marked as active in production status.

The differences are as follows. Core count differs: 6 cores on the P132i versus 8 cores on the 8845HS. Thread count differs: 12 threads versus 16 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.00 GHz versus 3.80 GHz. Boost clocks differ: 4.50 GHz versus 5.10 GHz. TDP differs: 28 watts versus 45 watts. L1 cache differs: 80 KB per core on the P132i versus 64 KB per core on the 8845HS. L3 cache differs: 4 MB on the P132i versus 16 MB shared on the 8845HS. Memory support differs: the P132i supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the 8845HS supports DDR5 only. PCIe lane count differs: 14 lanes on the P132i versus 20 lanes on the 8845HS, both Gen 4. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 840M on the P132i versus Radeon 780M on the 8845HS.

The 8845HS is part of the 8000 series, while the P132i has no series designation in the database. The 8845HS has a recorded transistor count of 25,000 million and a die size of 178 mm². The P132i has no recorded transistor count or die size. The 8845HS was released on 2024-04-01T17:00:00.000Z, while the P132i was released on 2026-03-08T17:00:00.000Z, making the P132i a later release. Neither part has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point. Its generation is recorded as "Ryzen Embedded (Zen 4 (Hawk Point))". The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i uses a hybrid architecture, with its generation recorded as "Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c)". Its codename is Gorgon Point. The P132i's generation field explicitly lists two core types, Zen 5 and Zen 5c, which indicates a mix of high-performance and high-efficiency cores, a design pattern that is not present in the 8845HS, which uses a single core type across all 8 cores.

Both processors are fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, so the underlying manufacturing node is identical. The architectural differences therefore come from the core designs and the cache topology. The 8845HS carries a unified 16 MB shared L3 cache, while the P132i has a smaller 4 MB L3 cache. The L1 cache per core is larger on the P132i at 80 KB versus 64 KB on the 8845HS, which may indicate a different cache hierarchy designed around the Zen 5 core. The L2 cache per core is identical at 1 MB.

The transistor count and die size are recorded only for the 8845HS: 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The P132i has no recorded values for either metric, so a direct density comparison is not possible from the database.

The memory controller differs in supported types. The P132i supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the 8845HS supports DDR5 only. Both run on a dual-channel bus with the same memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The PCIe implementation also differs in lane count, with the 8845HS offering 20 Gen 4 lanes versus 14 Gen 4 lanes on the P132i.

The integrated graphics solutions are different models: the P132i uses the Radeon 840M and the 8845HS uses the Radeon 780M. No graphics benchmark data is recorded for either, so the architectural differences in GPU compute units, clock speeds, or shading units cannot be quantified from the database.
