AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core 5 130HL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data in this comparison is heavily one-sided, but not because the Intel Core 5 130HL underperforms in every category. The database contains only a single complete benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164, while the Intel Core 5 130HL has no recorded benchmark scores, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of zero. Every measurable performance win therefore belongs to the AMD processor, and the use-case split reflects what the AMD data demonstrates rather than any head-to-head outcomes.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 shows a multithread score of 25,889, a single-thread score of 4,029, and an average benchmark score of 52,901. These figures place it at the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core 5 130HL, by contrast, has no individual test results recorded, so it cannot claim a win in any measured category. For workloads that rely on integer math, the AMD part scores 87,940; for floating-point math, it scores 55,799. Data compression yields 327,891, encryption yields 16,055, and extended instruction workloads yield 24,193. Random string sorting produces a score of 34,801, physics calculations produce 1,210, and prime number finding produces 71.

The use-case split therefore favors the AMD processor across every category where measurement exists. The Intel part can only be evaluated on its architectural specifications and its weaker percentile standing, which indicates a lower expected performance class. The practical implication is that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the choice for compute-heavy tasks, while the Intel Core 5 130HL lacks recorded evidence to support any performance advantage.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers, use different process nodes, and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC and has a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 5 130HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, carries the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Core counts differ: the AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 12 cores and 16 threads. Both parts therefore present 16 threads to the operating system, but they arrive at that count differently. The AMD chip uses 8 physical cores with simultaneous multithreading, while the Intel chip uses 12 physical cores with a threaded configuration that still yields 16 threads.

Cache structures diverge as well. Both parts share an 80 KB L1 per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 per core and 18 MB of shared L3. The Intel part therefore carries a larger L2 allocation per core and more than double the L3 capacity.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor accepts DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC support. The Intel processor accepts DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, has no recorded memory bandwidth, and does not support ECC. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD processor uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel processor uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. Both parts are locked, so neither offers an unlocked multiplier. The AMD processor fits AMD Socket FP8 and targets the mobile segment, while the Intel processor fits Intel Socket 1700 and targets the desktop segment.

Release timing also separates the two. The Intel Core 5 130HL entered production in April 2024, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is dated March 2026. Both remain active in production.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and the Intel Core 5 130HL. The head-to-head array is empty, and the win counters for both parts are zero. This absence of paired results means the only quantitative comparison comes from the AMD processor's own benchmark scores and the Intel processor's lack of recorded scores.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 delivers a multithread score of 25,889 and a single-thread score of 4,029. Its average benchmark score of 52,901 places it near a tight cluster of rivals: the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F scores 52,873, the Intel Xeon 634 scores 52,974, the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53,206, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53,288. The P164 sits within 0.7 percent of all four rivals, trailing the Ryzen 9 7900X by 0.7 percent, the EPYC 7313P by 0.6 percent, and the Xeon 634 by 0.1 percent, while leading the Ryzen 5 9500F by 0.1 percent.

The Intel Core 5 130HL has no benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and its nearest-rival list is empty. The 50th percentile ranking indicates it sits at the midpoint of all CPUs, far below the AMD part's 91st percentile.

The largest wins for the AMD processor come in data compression at 327,891, integer math at 87,940, and floating-point math at 55,799. Random string sorting scores 34,801, extended instructions score 24,193, and encryption scores 16,055. Physics scores 1,210, and prime number finding scores 71. These numbers define the AMD part's measured capabilities, and no equivalent figures exist for the Intel part.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports a clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the only one of the two processors with recorded performance measurements, and those measurements place it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 130HL has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking.

For workloads that depend on multithreaded throughput, integer math, floating-point math, data compression, encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, physics calculations, or prime number finding, the AMD processor has directly measured scores: 25,889 for multithread, 87,940 for integer math, 55,799 for floating-point math, 327,891 for data compression, 16,055 for encryption, 24,193 for extended instructions, 34,801 for random string sorting, 1,210 for physics, and 71 for prime number finding.

The Intel processor offers a larger L3 cache at 18 MB, a larger L2 per core at 2 MB, more physical cores at 12, a higher base clock at 2.60 GHz, and a lower boost clock at 4.80 GHz. It also supports DDR4 in addition to DDR5 and targets the desktop segment. None of these specifications translate into recorded benchmark wins in the database.

The AMD processor uses a 4 nm TSMC process, supports ECC memory, provides 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and delivers 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, the AMD EPYC 7313P, the Intel Xeon 634, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F, all within 0.7 percent of its average score. The Intel Core 5 130HL has no comparable rival data.

The verdict follows the measurements: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the processor with demonstrated performance in the database, while the Intel Core 5 130HL remains unmeasured and therefore unsupported by benchmark evidence. Buyers who rely on recorded performance data will find it only for the AMD part, and that data shows a high-percentile processor with strong scores across every tested workload.
