AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core i3-14100T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data paints a decidedly one-sided picture. Across all 11 recorded head-to-head tests, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 claims victory over the Intel Core i3-14100T. The widest margin appears in PassMark extended instructions, where AMD scores 24,193 against Intel's 10,414, a 132.3% advantage. That gap reflects the AMD part's ability to process complex instruction sets at a dramatically faster rate. Data compression follows closely: AMD hits 327,891, Intel manages 152,636, and the delta lands at 114.8%. Random string sorting also demonstrates a large separation, with AMD at 34,801 versus Intel's 15,579, a 123.4% lead.

Integer math is another decisive win. AMD scores 87,940, Intel scores 40,292, and the difference is 118.3%. Doubling the score in this workload indicates substantially stronger per-clock integer throughput, not merely a core-count advantage. Data encryption also favors AMD heavily: 16,055 versus 7,881, a 103.7% margin, meaning encrypted workloads complete in roughly half the time on the AMD processor. Floating point math shows a narrower but still substantial gap, with AMD at 55,799 and Intel at 31,379, a 77.8% lead.

Multithreaded performance, a key indicator for parallel workloads, sees AMD at 25,889 and Intel at 13,662. That is an 89.5% advantage, nearly doubling the throughput of the Intel part. The AMD processor also wins the physics test, 1,210 to 973, a 24.4% margin, and the prime number search, 71 to 56, a 26.8% lead. Single-thread performance, often the most telling metric for everyday responsiveness, favors AMD by 15.2%, with scores of 4,029 and 3,498 respectively. Even in the most even contest, the AMD chip still holds a clear edge.

The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is 52,901, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i3-14100T averages 17,648, which sits in the 71st percentile. The nearest rivals for AMD include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F at 52,873 (0.1% behind), the Intel Xeon 634 at 52,974 (0.1% ahead), the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53,206 (0.6% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53,288 (0.7% ahead). For Intel, the closest competition is the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17,653 (0% difference), the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17,656 (0% difference), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17,614 (0.2% behind), and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17,693 (0.3% ahead).

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins every recorded benchmark in the head-to-head set, so the use-case split is largely about the degree of advantage rather than which processor takes specific categories. In workloads that scale with core count, such as multithreaded rendering or parallel compilation, the AMD part's 8 cores and 16 threads against Intel's 4 cores and 8 threads produce an 89.5% multithread advantage. For tasks dominated by data movement, like compression and sorting, AMD's leads exceed 100%, suggesting a combination of higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s and more efficient data path handling. The AMD part also uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, which may contribute to the compression and sorting results.

The Intel Core i3-14100T, despite losing every head-to-head test, retains relevance in scenarios where its lower power envelope and desktop socket matter. Its TDP is 35 watts, which is higher than AMD's 28 watts, but it uses the Intel Socket 1700 platform, a widely adopted desktop standard. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile-oriented socket, which limits its placement to embedded or laptop-style systems. The Intel part also has a higher base clock at 2.70 GHz versus AMD's 2.00 GHz, although AMD's boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz against Intel's 4.40 GHz. For users constrained to the Intel 1700 platform, the i3-14100T still delivers a 71st percentile standing, with single-thread performance at 3,498, which remains serviceable for light desktop tasks.

The data indicates that AMD's wins are largest in memory-intensive and multi-threaded workloads, while its smallest lead, 15.2%, appears in single-thread performance. That means the Intel part is comparatively closest in lightly threaded scenarios, even though it still loses. For workloads like office productivity, web browsing, or legacy single-threaded applications, the Intel chip's deficit shrinks, but the recorded data does not show any test where it overtakes the AMD processor.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i3-14100T uses 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks differ: AMD runs at 2.00 GHz, Intel at 2.70 GHz. Boost clocks also differ: AMD reaches 5.00 GHz, Intel reaches 4.40 GHz. The TDP is lower on the AMD part at 28 watts, compared to Intel's 35 watts. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700.

The process nodes are different: AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry. The AMD die size is 233 mm², the Intel die size is 163 mm². Cache configurations vary: both have 80 KB of L1 per core, but AMD has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3, while Intel has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. Memory support shows AMD with DDR5 and LPDDR5X, Intel with DDR4 and DDR5. AMD records 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth; Intel has no recorded bandwidth figure. PCIe support differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 880M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The market segments differ, with AMD aimed at mobile and Intel at desktop. The release dates are also different: AMD's is recorded as 2026-03-08, Intel's as 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a part number, SRMX0, while AMD's is unknown. Both support ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 belongs to the Gorgon Point codename family, with a generation listed as "Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c)". The Intel Core i3-14100T uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, with a generation listed as "Core i3 (Raptor Lake Refresh)". This is a fundamental architectural split: AMD's design combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, a hybrid approach that mixes high-performance and high-efficiency core types, while Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh represents a refined version of the prior Raptor Lake design.

The manufacturing process reflects the architectural gap. AMD's 4 nm TSMC process is denser than Intel's 10 nm process, which helps explain the AMD chip's lower TDP of 28 watts despite having twice the cores and threads. The AMD die is larger at 233 mm², a tradeoff that accommodates the 8-core hybrid configuration and the Radeon 880M integrated graphics. Intel's die is smaller at 163 mm², consistent with its 4-core design and UHD Graphics 730.

Cache architecture also differs. Both chips allocate 80 KB of L1 per core, but AMD's L2 is 1 MB per core while Intel's is 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows the biggest divergence: AMD has 8 MB, Intel has 12 MB shared. Despite Intel's larger L3, the AMD chip still dominates in every recorded workload, indicating that core count, thread count, and the Zen 5 / Zen 5c core design outweigh the cache deficit. The memory controller on the AMD side supports only DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel retains DDR4 compatibility, which may suit users migrating from older platforms. PCIe generation also separates the two: AMD provides Gen 4 lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 lanes, so the Intel platform offers a newer external interconnect standard even though the AMD processor wins the CPU-side benchmarks.

The integrated graphics differ by design lineage: AMD pairs the CPU with Radeon 880M, a higher-end integrated solution, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The production status for both is listed as active, and both support ECC memory, making them candidates for reliability-focused systems. The AMD part is classified as a mobile-market processor with an FP8 socket, while the Intel part is a desktop-market processor with an LGA 1700 socket, which means the two will rarely appear in the same physical system class despite their comparable TDP range.
