AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i and Intel Core 7 360 are both six-core mobile processors, but they target distinctly different workloads. The Ryzen chip uses simultaneous multithreading to present 12 threads, while the Intel part runs 6 threads with a higher boost clock. The database shows the Intel Core 7 360 holding the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel chip also has a recorded average benchmark score of 18,374, which places it nearly even with rivals like the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 and the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 360 wins across every recorded benchmark category. Its strength is most pronounced in multi-threaded rendering workloads, where it delivers substantially higher scores than what the AMD part would need to match. The Intel chip records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13,634, a PassMark multi-thread score of 15,544, and a PassMark integer math score of 34,238. These results indicate that the Intel part handles sustained parallel workloads such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and scientific calculations better.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified. However, its specifications suggest a different design goal. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, features 12 threads through SMT, and supports dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part uses a 3 nm process from Intel, runs single-channel memory at 59.7 GB/s, and has no SMT. For workloads that depend on memory bandwidth, the AMD chip has a structural advantage. For workloads that depend on raw thread count, the AMD chip also has an advantage. The Intel chip wins on clock speed, with a 4.80 GHz boost versus 4.50 GHz for AMD.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and use different process nodes. AMD builds the Ryzen AI Embedded P132i on TSMC's 4 nm node, while Intel builds the Core 7 360 on its own 3 nm node. The AMD chip uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel chip uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. Both parts are mobile-class, active production, and have locked multipliers.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3. The Intel part provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has more cache at every level, which helps feed its higher boost clock. The AMD chip compensates with simultaneous multithreading, doubling its thread count from 6 to 12.

Memory support shows a major split. Both parts support DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but the AMD chip runs dual-channel memory at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip runs single-channel at 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes, Intel provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes. Integrated graphics differ, with AMD using the Radeon 840M and Intel using the Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. However, the Intel Core 7 360 has a full set of 17 recorded benchmark scores, while the AMD part has none. This means all comparative analysis must rely on the Intel scores alone, with the AMD part assessed through its architectural specifications.

The Intel Core 7 360 produces a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13,634 and a single-core score of 1,924. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5,726 multi-core and 808 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1,374 multi-core and 193 single-core. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 15,544, a single-thread score of 4,274, floating point math at 44,963, and integer math at 34,238. Data compression scores 142,877, data encryption scores 11,164, extended instructions score 12,390, and prime number finding scores 120. Physics scores 1,213, and random string sorting scores 17,636.

These numbers place the Intel chip at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 18,374 is effectively identical to the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380, with a delta of 0%. It sits 0.2% above the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345, 0.3% above the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318, and 0.4% above the Intel Core 3 305 at 18,302. The AMD part has no comparable scores, so its percentile of 50 is based on its specification profile rather than measured performance.

The Verdict

The data supports choosing the Intel Core 7 360 for any workload where measured performance matters. It has a recorded benchmark suite showing strong multi-thread performance, a 72nd percentile ranking, and an average score of 18,374 that matches or slightly exceeds its nearest rivals. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i has no benchmark scores in the database, making its real-world performance unquantified.

The AMD part still has a role. Its dual-channel memory at 89.6 GB/s, 12 threads, ECC support, and 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes make it the better fit for embedded applications where memory bandwidth, data integrity, and peripheral connectivity matter more than raw compute scores. The Intel part cannot use ECC memory and has only 6 PCIe lanes, which limits its suitability for storage-heavy or industrial workloads.

For general mobile computing, rendering, and productivity, the Intel Core 7 360 is the clear choice based on recorded data. For embedded systems that require ECC, wider memory buses, or more PCIe connectivity, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i has the structural advantages, though its performance remains unverified in the database.
