AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is one-sided, as the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core 3 305 has a full suite of recorded results. The Intel part's average benchmark score is 18302, which places it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD part sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, indicating that no measured workloads are currently attached to it.

For the Intel Core 3 305, the strongest recorded results come from Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 13123 points. Its single-core R23 score is 1852. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 5511 and the single-core score is 777. The older R15 test shows a multi-core score of 1322 and a single-core score of 186. These results suggest a processor that handles multi-threaded workloads substantially better than single-threaded tasks, as the multi-core to single-core ratio in R23 is roughly 7 to 1.

PassMark results for the Intel part show a similar pattern. The multi-thread score is 15439, while the single-thread score is 3977. Integer math scores 32295, floating point math scores 42284, and extended instructions score 13543. Data compression scores 146857, data encryption scores 11019, and random string sorting scores 17623. Physics testing returns 1233, and find prime numbers returns 115.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 305 in the database are informative. The Intel Core i3-14100 averages 18318, which is only 0.1% higher. The Intel Core 5 330 averages 18345, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core 7 360 averages 18374, a 0.4% difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E averages 18230, which is 0.4% lower. This clustering means the Core 3 305 sits in a very tight performance band relative to these four chips, with all deltas within half a percentage point.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 233 mm². It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The thermal design power is 28 watts.

The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 3 generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel. No die size is recorded. It has 6 cores and 6 threads, with a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The thermal design power is 15 watts.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 total, 2.5 MB of L2 total, and 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD design uses per-core L1 and L2, while Intel reports aggregate L1 and L2 figures.

Memory support also diverges. Both support DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but the AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel part uses a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the AMD chip but not on the Intel chip. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes.

The integrated graphics are different. AMD uses the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. Both parts are locked multipliers, both are active production, and both target the mobile segment.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split in intended use cases. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers 8 cores and 16 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, ECC support, and 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. These specifications point toward embedded workloads that need memory bandwidth, error correction, and connectivity. The Intel Core 3 305 has no ECC, only 6 PCIe lanes, and a single-channel memory bus, which narrows its fit for such environments.

The Intel Core 3 305's recorded benchmark scores show it performs competitively against its nearest rivals, all of which sit within 0.4% of its average score. Its 72nd percentile ranking indicates it lands above the median CPU in the database. The AMD part has a 50th percentile ranking, but this is based on no recorded benchmark data, so this percentile should not be interpreted as a performance verdict.

For workloads that depend on multi-threaded throughput, the Intel part's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13123 and PassMark multi-thread score of 15439 demonstrate solid performance. The AMD part has no such measurements in the database, so direct comparison is impossible. However, the AMD part's 16 threads versus 6 threads, combined with a higher boost clock, suggests it may handle heavily threaded tasks differently. The absence of recorded AMD benchmark data means this remains speculative.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i wins on raw thread count, offering 16 threads versus 6. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds the Intel chip's 4.30 GHz. Its dual-channel memory bus provides 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, which is 29.9 GB/s more than the Intel chip's 59.7 GB/s single-channel figure. ECC memory support gives it an advantage for error-sensitive workloads. The 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes provide substantially more connectivity than the Intel chip's 6 lanes. Its 28 watt TDP is higher than the Intel chip's 15 watts, which reflects its larger core and thread allocation.

The Intel Core 3 305 wins on measured benchmark performance, as it is the only one of the two with recorded scores. Its average benchmark score of 18302 places it at the 72nd percentile, well above the AMD chip's 50th percentile. Its nearest rivals cluster tightly around it, with the closest being the Intel Core i3-14100 at 0.1% higher and the AMD Ryzen 5 2600E at 0.4% lower. The Intel chip's 3 nm process node is one generation ahead of the AMD chip's 4 nm node. Its 15 watt TDP makes it suitable for lower-power designs. The Intel chip also has a lower base clock at 1.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, but its recorded single-thread scores, such as 3977 in PassMark single-thread and 1852 in Cinebench R23 single-core, show it executes lightly threaded tasks effectively.

The Intel chip's launch MSRP is $309. The AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP.
