AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core 7 150UL Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database positions the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 as a high-performance mobile processor with a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the Intel Core 7 150UL sits at the 50th percentile. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process from TSMC and a Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture, whereas Intel relies on a 10 nm process and Raptor Lake architecture. The AMD chip delivers a single-thread score of 4029 and a multithread score of 25889 in PassMark tests, while the Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. For workloads that depend on heavy parallel processing, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the clear choice based on its 8 cores, 16 threads, and active benchmark data. The Intel Core 7 150UL, with its 10 cores and 12 threads, targets a lower power envelope of 15 W TDP, making it suited for compact desktop systems where thermal limits are strict, but its lack of recorded performance data leaves its capabilities unverified in this database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 belongs to the Gorgon Point generation and uses the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture, fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It is a mobile-segment processor with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 150UL is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS generation, using a 10 nm process from Intel, and is classified as a desktop-segment processor. The AMD processor integrates the Radeon 880M graphics solution, while Intel integrates Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor thus offers a larger shared L3 pool, which can benefit workloads with repeated data access patterns across cores. The AMD processor compensates with a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus Intel's 1.70 GHz, while both reach the same 5.00 GHz boost clock.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel memory bus and a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, plus ECC memory support. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus but has no recorded memory bandwidth figure and lacks ECC memory support. PCIe provisioning also differs: AMD provides 16 Gen 4 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides 8 Gen 4 lanes (CPU only). The AMD part is built for a mobile socket, AMD Socket FP8, whereas Intel uses Socket 1700, a desktop platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and the Intel Core 7 150UL. The AMD processor has 11 recorded PassMark benchmark scores, while the Intel processor has none. The AMD processor's average benchmark score is 52901, derived from those tests. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F with an average score of 52873 (0.1% below), the Intel Xeon 634 with an average score of 52974 (0.1% above), the AMD EPYC 7313P with an average score of 53206 (0.6% above), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with an average score of 53288 (0.7% above). These deltas place the AMD processor in a tight cluster around the 52900 to 53300 average score range, indicating that its overall performance aligns closely with several established desktop and server parts.

Looking at the AMD processor's individual PassMark results, the data shows a data compression score of 327891, a data encryption score of 16055, an extended instructions score of 24193, a prime number finding score of 71, a floating point math score of 55799, an integer math score of 87940, a physics score of 1210, a random string sorting score of 34801, and a single-thread score of 4029. The multithread score of 25889 reflects the 8-core, 16-thread configuration. The single-thread score of 4029 indicates strong per-core performance, consistent with the 5.00 GHz boost clock.

Since the Intel Core 7 150UL lacks benchmark scores in the database, no direct numerical comparison is possible. The only comparative data available is the percentile ranking: AMD at the 91st percentile versus Intel at the 50th percentile among all CPUs. This gap suggests that the AMD processor outperforms the majority of processors in the database, while the Intel processor sits at the median. The absence of Intel benchmark data limits any quantitative head-to-head analysis to the AMD chip's own results and its percentile position.
