AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i vs Intel Core 7 253PQE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a decisive picture for these two processors. The Intel Core 7 253PQE holds a commanding lead across every benchmark in the database, with its average benchmark score of 55,919 placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero, indicating no recorded benchmark results are available for direct comparison.

For the AMD processor, the lack of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm its performance level. The Intel part, however, demonstrates clear strength. Its multi-core scores are particularly impressive: Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 31,390, Cinebench R20 multi-core hits 13,183, and Cinebench R15 multi-core lands at 3,163. Single-core results are equally robust, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 4,431 and Cinebench R20 single-core at 1,861.

The Intel processor's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i9-14900HX at a delta of minus 0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 at minus 0.6 percent, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 at minus 0.7 percent, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX at minus 1.1 percent. These tight margins indicate the Core 7 253PQE operates at the same performance tier as those high-end parts, despite its lower average score.

The AMD processor's 50th percentile ranking suggests it is an average performer among all CPUs in the database, but without benchmark scores, the analysis cannot quantify its position relative to the Intel part. The data strongly favors the Intel Core 7 253PQE for any workload requiring measured processing power, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i remains an unverified quantity in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 7 253PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename from the Core 7 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part offers 10 cores and 20 threads. This 4-core and 8-thread advantage gives the Intel processor more parallel execution resources. Clock speeds also favor Intel: the AMD chip runs at a 2.00 GHz base clock with a 4.50 GHz boost, while the Intel chip runs at a 3.50 GHz base clock with a 5.70 GHz boost. The Intel processor's higher base and boost clocks suggest superior single-thread responsiveness.

Cache hierarchies show notable differences. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and a total of 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor's larger L3 cache provides a substantial advantage for workloads that benefit from shared data access.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses and record 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, offering both newer and more numerous lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD processor includes Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor targets the mobile market segment, while the Intel processor targets the desktop segment. Both processors launched on the same date, and both have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database contains no entries, which means no direct paired comparisons exist between these two processors. However, the Intel Core 7 253PQE has extensive benchmark results recorded, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i has none. This asymmetry makes direct numerical comparison impossible.

What the data does show is the Intel processor's absolute performance across seventeen recorded tests. In Cinebench R15, multi-core scores 3,163 and single-core scores 446. In Cinebench R20, multi-core reaches 13,183 and single-core reaches 1,861. In Cinebench R23, multi-core hits 31,390 and single-core hits 4,431. These Cinebench results indicate the Intel processor handles both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads effectively.

PassMark tests provide additional detail. Data compression scores 487,335, data encryption scores 25,515, and extended instructions score 32,390. Find prime numbers scores 206, floating point math scores 105,279, and integer math scores 137,795. The multithread score is 41,656, physics scores 2,970, and random string sorting scores 54,222. Single thread scores 4,389 in two separate test entries. These figures span a wide range of computational tasks, from encryption to sorting to mathematical operations.

The Intel processor's nearest rival comparisons show it within one percent of several high-end parts. The Intel Core i9-14900HX trails by 0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 trails by 0.6 percent, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 trails by 0.7 percent, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX trails by 1.1 percent. These margins confirm the Core 7 253PQE performs at a level consistent with premium mobile and workstation processors.

Without AMD benchmark data, the analysis can only state that the Intel processor produces measurable results across all tests, while the AMD processor produces none in this database. The Intel processor's 91st percentile ranking versus the AMD processor's 50th percentile ranking provides the only direct comparative signal, and it strongly favors Intel.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i wins in areas that do not appear in benchmark results. Its 4 nm process node at TSMC is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node, potentially indicating better power efficiency. Its support for LPDDR5X memory offers a low-power memory option that the Intel processor lacks. Its Radeon 840M integrated graphics may provide different graphical capabilities than Intel's UHD Graphics 770, though no benchmark data confirms this. Its mobile market segment suggests design for embedded and portable applications, where its 28 TDP could be advantageous compared to the Intel processor's 125 TDP.

Processes like data compression and encryption show the Intel processor's strengths in the recorded scores, but the AMD processor's absence from the benchmark database leaves its potential unmeasured.
