AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and Intel Core 5 213PE are both 8-core, 16-thread processors with ECC memory support and locked multipliers, but they target different platforms. The AMD part is a 28 W mobile chip on AMD Socket FP8, built on TSMC's 4 nm process, while the Intel part is a 65 W desktop chip on Intel Socket 1700, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Both are listed as Active with a release date of 2026-03-08. In the database, the AMD processor records a 91st percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 52901, while the Intel processor records an 85th percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 35428.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head PassMark data covers 11 tests. The Intel Core 5 213PE wins 7, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins 4. AMD's biggest win is extended instructions, where it scores 24193 against 19565, a 23.7 percent advantage. It also wins data compression 327891 to 298804, a 9.7 percent margin, and random string sorting 34801 to 32027, an 8.7 percent margin. The narrowest AMD win is data encryption, 16055 to 15916, a 0.9 percent edge.

Intel's biggest win is find prime numbers, 114 versus 71, a 37.7 percent gap. The Intel part also leads in physics, 1624 to 1210, a 25.5 percent margin, and floating-point math, 68587 to 55799, an 18.6 percent margin. In integer math, Intel wins 92089 to 87940, a 4.5 percent margin. The multithread test goes to Intel 26434 to 25889, a 2.1 percent margin. The single-thread and singlethread entries both record 4060 for Intel and 4029 for AMD, a 0.8 percent gap.

The workload pattern follows those margins. Intel dominates math, physics, and multithread workloads, while AMD dominates compression, encryption, extended instructions, and sorting. The multithread gap is modest at 2.1 percent, and the single-thread gap is only 0.8 percent. The larger deltas are workload-specific rather than universal.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same core and thread count, but the underlying designs diverge. AMD uses the Gorgon Point die with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation label, while Intel uses the Bartlett Lake die with a Core 5 generation label. AMD's process node is 4 nm at TSMC, and its die size is 233 mm². Intel's process node is 10 nm at Intel, and no die size is recorded in the database.

Cache layouts differ. Both have 80 KB L1 per core. AMD has 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3. Intel has 2 MB L2 per core and 24 MB shared L3. The Intel part therefore carries more L2 and L3 capacity.

Memory support also differs. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory and ECC support. AMD's memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s, compared with 76.8 GB/s for Intel. PCIe connectivity differs by generation: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. AMD includes Radeon 880M graphics, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part targets the mobile segment on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part targets the desktop segment on Intel Socket 1700. The power envelopes reflect that split: AMD has a 28 W TDP, Intel has a 65 W TDP. Clock speeds also differ, with AMD at 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost, and Intel at 2.70 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost. Both are locked multipliers and both are Active.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates the two processors by workload profile rather than by a single overall winner. The Intel Core 5 213PE wins 7 of 11 head-to-head tests, with the largest margins in prime-number finding, physics, and floating-point math. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins the other 4, led by a 23.7 percent extended-instruction advantage, and it holds the higher average benchmark score at 52901 versus 35428, as well as the higher percentile rank at 91 versus 85.

The nearest-rival data reinforces that split. AMD's average score sits close to the Ryzen 9 7900X at 53288 with a delta of -0.7 and the EPYC 7313P at 53206 with a delta of -0.6. Intel's average score sits close to the Core i7-12700K at 35287 with a delta of 0.4 and the Core i7-13700T at 35403 with a delta of 0.1.

For workloads that rely on extended instruction throughput, data compression, encryption, and random string sorting, the AMD part delivers the better recorded results. For workloads that rely on prime-number generation, physics, floating-point math, integer math, and multithread throughput, the Intel part delivers the better recorded results. The AMD part also fits a 28 W mobile platform with Radeon 880M graphics, while the Intel part fits a 65 W desktop platform with Gen5 PCIe, DDR4 compatibility, and more cache. The choice follows the workload and platform target.
