AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no benchmark results for either processor. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, the average benchmark score for both the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i and the Intel Core 7 150HL is zero, and the win counters for each side show zero victories. This means no direct performance comparison can be derived from measured data. Neither part has any nearest rivals listed, so there is no percentile context beyond the shared 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs tracked in the database.

The absence of benchmark scores does not indicate parity. It indicates a lack of recorded measurements. The AMD part carries a percentile vs all CPUs of 50, and the Intel part also carries a percentile vs all CPUs of 50. These identical percentile values are the only quantitative performance-related datapoints available. Without actual scores, any claim about which processor is faster in single-threaded, multi-threaded, or integrated graphics workloads would be unsupported by the database.

What can be stated from the data: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel Core 7 150HL uses 14 cores and 20 threads with a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Both reach the same maximum boost frequency, but the Intel part starts from a higher base clock. The Intel part also has more physical cores and more threads, which typically favors multi-threaded throughput in workloads that scale with core count. However, without benchmark scores, that remains an inference from specifications, not a measured result.

The thermal design power differs substantially. The AMD part is rated at 28 W, while the Intel part is rated at 45 W. Higher power budgets often enable sustained performance under load, but the database does not provide measured performance-per-watt figures. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel. Process node differences can influence efficiency and frequency behavior, but the data does not quantify those effects.

The cache configurations differ. 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 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has more L2 per core and significantly more L3 total. Larger caches can reduce memory latency and improve performance in cache-sensitive workloads, but again, no benchmark confirms this.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory but has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. The AMD part also supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not. PCIe lane counts differ: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). More PCIe lanes can matter for discrete GPUs or multiple NVMe drives, but the database does not include expansion tests.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD part uses Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. No graphics benchmark scores are recorded, so relative GPU performance cannot be stated.

The Verdict

The database holds no benchmark measurements for either the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i or the Intel Core 7 150HL. Therefore, the verdict must be based strictly on specification differences, not on observed performance.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i targets the mobile segment with a 28 W TDP, an AMD Socket FP8, and a 4 nm process. It offers 8 cores and 16 threads, 8 MB of L3, 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, ECC support, 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and a Radeon 880M integrated GPU. It was released on 2026-03-08.

The Intel Core 7 150HL targets the desktop segment with a 45 W TDP, an Intel Socket 1700, and a 10 nm process. It offers 14 cores and 20 threads, 24 MB of shared L3, memory support for DDR4 and DDR5, no ECC support, 8 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, and Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. It was released on 2024-04-07.

For workloads that can use many cores, the Intel part has a structural advantage on paper: 14 cores versus 8, 20 threads versus 16, and a larger shared L3 cache. Its higher base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 2.00 GHz also suggests better responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks, though both boost to 5.00 GHz.

For power-sensitive mobile deployments, the AMD part is the clear specification choice. Its 28 W TDP is substantially lower than the Intel part's 45 W. The AMD part also provides more PCIe lanes, ECC memory support, and a higher recorded memory bandwidth figure. Its LPDDR5X support allows lower-power memory configurations, which suits embedded and mobile use.

The production status for both parts is listed as Active. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. Both parts are locked, meaning overclocking is not supported per the database.

The verdict from the data: choose the Intel Core 7 150HL when core count, thread count, and cache size are the primary selection criteria. Choose the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i when power efficiency, ECC support, PCIe lane count, and mobile integration matter more. There is no benchmark evidence to override these spec-based conclusions.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The architecture supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and records 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. The integrated graphics are Radeon 880M. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The Intel Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Core 7 generation based on Raptor Lake architecture. It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The architecture supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory is not supported. The integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU.

The architectural differences are substantial. The AMD part uses a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm), which generally indicates higher transistor density and potentially better power efficiency. The Intel part uses a larger process node but compensates with a higher core count and a much larger shared L3 cache (24 MB versus 8 MB). The AMD part has a smaller L2 per core (1 MB versus 2 MB) and a smaller total L3.

The memory controllers differ in supported memory types. AMD includes LPDDR5X support, which is typical for low-power mobile and embedded designs. Intel includes DDR4 support, which allows compatibility with older, lower-cost memory modules but also means the memory controller must handle two older and newer standard generations.

ECC support is a notable architectural feature. The AMD part supports ECC, which is important for embedded and reliability-critical applications. The Intel part does not.

The integrated GPU architectures differ completely. AMD uses Radeon 880M, which is based on AMD's RDNA architecture family. Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, which is based on Intel's Xe architecture. No graphics performance scores exist in the database.

The power architecture also differs. The AMD part has a 28 W TDP, suitable for thermally constrained mobile and embedded chassis. The Intel part has a 45 W TDP, which allows higher sustained power draw for desktop-oriented workloads but requires more cooling.

Both processors have a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, but the base clock differs by 0.40 GHz in favor of the Intel part. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, consistent with a hybrid or homogeneous Zen 5 / Zen 5c arrangement. The Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads, consistent with a hybrid performance-core and efficiency-core arrangement common in Raptor Lake designs, though the database does not specify core type counts.

The PCIe lane difference also points to different design intents. AMD provides 16 Gen 4 lanes, enough for a full-bandwidth discrete GPU or multiple high-speed devices. Intel provides 8 Gen 4 lanes, which limits expansion options. The AMD part is socketed on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, meaning they are not interchangeable in any system.

The release dates differ by nearly two years. The Intel Core 7 150HL was released on 2024-04-07, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i was released on 2026-03-08. The database lists both as Active in production status.
