AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i and the Intel Core i5-110. Both processors currently hold a 50th percentile rank among all CPUs tracked, with an average benchmark score of zero in the recorded data. This means neither part has accumulated measurable performance data in the current database snapshot. The absence of scores is notable, but the specification sheets alone provide a basis for comparing expected behavior.

Looking at the raw specifications, the AMD part operates with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, while the Intel part has a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz and a lower boost clock of 4.30 GHz. In single-threaded workloads that rely on maximum boost, the AMD processor holds a 0.20 GHz advantage at the top end. Conversely, in lightly threaded tasks that stay near base frequencies, the Intel chip starts 0.90 GHz higher, which can matter for sustained loads that do not trigger aggressive boosting.

Both processors use six physical cores and twelve threads, so multi-threaded scaling should be similar in core count. However, the architectural differences are substantial. The AMD chip uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel chip uses Intel's 14 nm process. The smaller process node typically allows higher efficiency and lower power draw for the same workload, but the data also shows the AMD part has a 28 W TDP versus the Intel part's 65 W TDP. That 37 W difference is significant for thermal design and system power budgets, especially in compact or embedded systems.

Memory bandwidth is another clear differentiator. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 with a recorded bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. The AMD part offers more than double the memory bandwidth, which can influence memory-intensive tasks such as data compression, virtual machine workloads, or integrated graphics performance. The Intel part also lacks ECC memory support, while the AMD part includes ECC as a feature. For reliability-focused embedded deployments, that difference matters.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD chip provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 total. The Intel chip provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has triple the L3 capacity, which can help with repeated data access patterns and larger working sets. The AMD part has larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, which can reduce latency for per-thread data.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD processor offers PCIe Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel processor offers PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. Gen 4 doubles the per-lane bandwidth compared to Gen 3, so the AMD part can move more data per lane despite having two fewer lanes. This affects NVMe storage throughput and discrete GPU connectivity.

The integrated graphics are different. The AMD part uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 630. The Radeon 840M is a newer architecture and, given the memory bandwidth advantage and process node advantage, should deliver stronger graphics performance for light gaming or media workloads, though the database does not include specific graphics scores.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two processors aimed at different use cases. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i is a mobile, embedded-focused part with a 28 W TDP, ECC memory support, DDR5/LPDDR5X memory, PCIe Gen 4, and a 4.50 GHz boost clock. The Intel Core i5-110 is a desktop part with a 65 W TDP, DDR4 memory, PCIe Gen 3, and a 4.30 GHz boost clock. Neither has benchmark scores in the database, so the verdict must come from specifications.

For systems that prioritize power efficiency, modern memory standards, ECC reliability, and higher boost clocks, the AMD part is the clear choice based on the data. The 28 W TDP makes it suitable for fanless or low-power embedded designs where the 65 W Intel part would require more substantial cooling. The ECC memory support is a hard requirement for many server and industrial applications, and the Intel part does not offer it.

For systems that rely on existing DDR4 infrastructure, need more PCIe lanes, or benefit from larger L3 cache, the Intel part has advantages. The 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes versus 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes means the Intel part can connect more devices directly, though each lane is slower. The 12 MB shared L3 cache is three times the AMD part's 4 MB, which can help in workloads with large shared data sets.

The Intel part also has a launch MSRP of $200, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The database does not allow pricing analysis beyond stating the MSRP once, so the choice should rest on technical specifications.

Architecture Differences

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. The process node is 4 nm from TSMC. The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture on Intel's 14 nm process. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 14 nm represents a full generation gap in manufacturing technology.

The AMD part is built on a 28 W TDP and targets the mobile segment with an AMD Socket FP8. The Intel part is a desktop part with a 65 W TDP on Intel Socket 1200. The sockets are incompatible, so there is no upgrade path between them without a motherboard change.

Memory support differs completely. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X through a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports DDR4 through a dual-channel memory bus with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs in both generation and lane count. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes. The Intel part provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. Gen 4 bandwidth per lane is double that of Gen 3, so the AMD part can transfer more data per lane. The Intel part has two additional lanes for device connectivity.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part includes a Radeon 840M, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 630. The cache layout is fundamentally different: AMD uses per-core L1 and L2 with a small 4 MB shared L3, while Intel uses smaller per-core L1 and L2 with a larger 12 MB shared L3.

The Intel part has a known part number of SA35X and a release date in the database. The AMD part has an unknown part number and a later release date. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132i wins in scenarios that prioritize low power consumption. The 28 W TDP is less than half of the Intel part's 65 W TDP, making it suitable for embedded systems, mobile workstations, and passively cooled designs. The higher boost clock of 4.50 GHz gives it an edge in bursty single-threaded workloads that can hit maximum boost briefly.

The AMD part also wins in memory-intensive workloads. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is more than double the Intel part's 42.7 GB/s. Applications that move large data sets, such as video editing, database processing, or virtualized environments, can benefit from this bandwidth advantage. The support for DDR5 and LPDDR5X also means newer memory modules can be used. ECC memory support gives the AMD part a clear win in reliability-focused deployments where silent data corruption is unacceptable.

The AMD part wins in PCIe Gen 4 scenarios. Devices that use Gen 4, such as high-end NVMe drives or modern GPUs, can achieve double the per-lane bandwidth compared to Gen 3. This matters for storage-heavy workloads.

The Intel Core i5-110 wins in scenarios that rely on sustained base clock performance. The 2.90 GHz base clock is 0.90 GHz higher than the AMD part's 2.00 GHz base clock. Workloads that run at base frequencies for extended periods, without boosting, will see higher throughput on the Intel part.

The Intel part wins in L3 cache-sensitive workloads. The 12 MB shared L3 cache is three times larger than the AMD part's 4 MB. Applications with large shared working sets, such as certain database workloads or virtualization with many small VMs, can benefit from the larger cache.

The Intel part also wins in PCIe lane count. With 16 Gen 3 lanes versus 14 Gen 4 lanes, the Intel part can connect two more devices directly. Systems that need multiple expansion cards or controllers may prefer the extra lanes.

The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $200. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP in the database.
