AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i vs Intel Core 5 330 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database contains no recorded performance measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i. All seventeen recorded benchmark scores belong exclusively to the Intel Core 5 330. Therefore, the Intel processor wins every single benchmark category by default, not because of superior engineering in every test, but because the AMD part has zero submitted results in the current database entries.

The Intel Core 5 330 shows particular strength in multi-threaded workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,150 points places it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs tracked by the database. The single-core Cinebench R23 result of 1,856 points indicates a strong per-thread performance profile as well. In PassMark tests, the Intel part delivers 15,471 in multithread, 4,088 in single-thread, 43,885 in floating point math, and 33,258 in integer math.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i, with a 50th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of zero, cannot be positioned as a winner in any measured category. The database shows no data for this processor, meaning any comparison of wins between these two parts is structurally one-sided. The Intel Core 5 330 holds all wins in the recorded data, while the AMD part has no wins to claim.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly at the architectural level. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 330 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, belongs to the Core 5 generation, and is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Core and thread counts differ in a critical way. Both parts have 6 physical cores, but the AMD processor supports 12 threads via simultaneous multithreading, while the Intel processor supports only 6 threads with no hyperthreading. This means the AMD part can process twice as many threads concurrently, a structural advantage in heavily threaded workloads.

Cache hierarchies are also distinct. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 cache total, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has a larger total L3 cache by 2 MB, but the AMD part's per-core L2 allocation is larger when scaled across six cores.

Memory architecture differs substantially. The AMD processor supports dual-channel DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a peak bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports single-channel DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a peak bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. PCIe lane counts differ as well: the AMD processor provides 14 Gen 4 lanes, while the Intel processor provides 6 Gen 4 lanes.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The Intel processor has a lower base clock of 1.50 GHz but a higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel part reaches 100 MHz higher at peak boost, while the AMD part starts at a 500 MHz higher base frequency.

Integrated graphics differ by vendor. The AMD processor includes Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel processor includes Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Both processors target the mobile market segment, and both are currently marked as Active in production status.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but incomplete verdict. For any workload where the database has measurements, the Intel Core 5 330 is the only option with recorded performance. Its 72nd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 18,345 place it above the AMD part's 50th percentile and zero average score. However, the absence of any AMD benchmark data means the comparison is not a true head-to-head.

For users who prioritize measured performance, the Intel Core 5 330 delivers all available evidence of capability. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,150 and single-core score of 1,856, along with PassMark results across seven different tests, provide a complete performance profile. The Intel part also has a lower TDP of 15 watts compared to the AMD part's 28 watts, which may matter for thermally constrained mobile designs.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i offers structural advantages that the current data cannot quantify. Its 12 threads versus 6, dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth versus single-channel with 59.7 GB/s, ECC support, and 14 PCIe lanes versus 6 suggest the AMD part is designed for workloads that benefit from memory bandwidth, thread parallelism, and I/O expansion. The Intel part counters with a higher boost clock, larger L3 cache, and a more advanced 3 nm process node.

The verdict depends on whether the user values measured results or architectural headroom. From the recorded data alone, the Intel Core 5 330 is the only processor with proven performance. From a specification standpoint, the AMD processor appears built for a different class of embedded workloads, but without benchmark scores, its real-world behavior remains unverified in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data is entirely one-sided. The database lists zero benchmark matchups between the two processors, and the AMD part has no recorded scores in any test. The Intel Core 5 330 therefore holds every available benchmark result, but this reflects data availability rather than a measured performance advantage.

The Intel processor's strongest recorded results come from Cinebench. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,150 is the highest multi-threaded result in its profile, while the single-core score of 1,856 shows strong per-thread performance. The Cinebench R20 results show 5,523 multicore and 779 single-core, and the Cinebench R15 results show 1,325 multicore and 186 single-core. These scores place the Intel part in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs.

PassMark results further characterize the Intel processor. The data compression score of 145,287 is the highest single PassMark result, indicating strong integer-heavy throughput. Data encryption scores 11,076, extended instructions score 12,808, and find prime numbers scores 114. Floating point math delivers 43,885, integer math delivers 33,258, multithread delivers 15,471, physics delivers 1,201, and random string sorting delivers 17,771. Single-thread performance is recorded at 4,088.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 5 330 provide context for its average score of 18,345. The Intel Core i3-14100 scores 18,318, which is 0.1% lower, meaning the Core 5 330 edges out that rival by a negligible margin. The Intel Core 7 360 scores 18,374, which is 0.2% higher, so the Core 5 330 trails that part slightly. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18,380, also 0.2% higher. The Intel Core 3 305 scores 18,302, which is 0.2% lower than the Core 5 330.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i has no benchmark scores to compare. Its percentile ranking of 50 is below the Intel part's 72, but this ranking is based on an average score of zero, which indicates missing data rather than a measured performance floor. The database shows no wins for the AMD part and no head-to-head matchups, so any direct numerical comparison between the two processors is not possible from the recorded data.
