Architecture Differences

Both parts are 8-core, 16-thread designs with ECC memory support and locked multipliers, but the underlying silicon is different. AMD uses the Gorgon Point platform with a generation label of Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c), built on a 4 nm TSMC process. Intel uses the Bartlett Lake platform, generation label Core 5 (Bartlett Lake), built on Intel's 10 nm process. AMD's die size is 233 mm²; Intel's die size is not recorded.

Cache layout differs substantially. L1 is identical at 80 KB per core, but AMD assigns 1 MB L2 per core and an 8 MB L3. Intel assigns 2 MB L2 per core and a 24 MB shared L3. That larger L3 gives Intel a clear capacity advantage for repeated data access, while AMD's smaller cache sits alongside a different memory controller setup.

Memory and I/O also differ. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with 89.6 GB/s dual-channel bandwidth; Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with 76.8 GB/s. AMD exposes PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel exposes PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics are Radeon 880M on AMD and UHD Graphics 730 on Intel. AMD is classified as a mobile part on AMD Socket FP8; Intel is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. Both processors are listed as active products.

Where Each One Wins

Analyzing the win distribution by workload type gives a clean split. AMD wins 7 tests: data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, multithread, random string sorting, and single-thread. These are memory-oriented, encryption, sorting, and latency-sensitive workloads. The single-thread lead of 8.4% and multithread lead of 1.2% are modest, but the compression and encryption margins are substantial. Data compression at 25.6% ahead and data encryption at 11.4% ahead show a clear AMD advantage in those operations.

Intel wins 4 tests: find prime numbers, floating point math, integer math, and physics. These are numeric and physics-oriented workloads. Intel's physics score of 2199 is 45% better than AMD's 1210, and its floating point score of 71722 beats 55799 by 22.2%. The integer math edge is smaller at 5.6%, and the prime number test shows Intel at 157 against 71. The extended instructions test is the only AMD win that resembles a math workload, and there AMD leads by 49.8%.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the AMD part as the stronger all-around processor in the shared benchmark suite. It holds the higher average benchmark score, 52901 versus 32924, the higher percentile ranking, 91st versus 83rd, and more head-to-head wins, 7 versus 4. Its nearest rival comparisons reinforce that: the AMD chip sits 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F and 0.7% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, while the Intel chip sits 0.1% behind the Intel Core i7-12700 and 0.5% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D.

For a workload profile centered on compression, encryption, sorting, extended instructions, and single-thread response, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the part the data favors. It also does so at a 28 W TDP, which suits its mobile positioning. For a workload profile centered on physics simulation, prime-number search, and heavy floating-point or integer math, the Intel Core 5 213PTE has the clear advantage, with 45% and 22.2% leads in two of those areas. The Intel part adds PCIe Gen 5, DDR4 compatibility, a larger L3 cache, and a higher boost clock, but its 45 W TDP and lower average score mark it as a different class of desktop chip.
