AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 7 160UL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark data for the Intel Core 7 160UL, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark scores listed. This means the head-to-head comparison is one-sided: the Intel part delivers measurable results across Cinebench and Passmark workloads, whereas the AMD processor has no recorded performance data to compare against.

The Intel Core 7 160UL posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 9386 and a single-core score of 1325. Its Cinebench R20 results show 3942 multi-core and 556 single-core. In the older R15 test, the chip reaches 946 multi-core and 133 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 69th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 14232.

Passmark results reinforce the Intel part's standing. The multi-thread test yields 11043, while single-thread performance registers 3391. Integer math scores 47515, floating point math 25670, and extended instructions 5832. Data compression reaches 108953, data encryption 7146, random string sorting 11843, and physics 819. Prime number finding is notably lower at 50.

Without any benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i, the database cannot establish comparative wins or losses. The wins counter shows zero for both processors, confirming that no head-to-head test data exists in the record. The Intel Core 7 160UL's nearest rivals provide context: AMD Ryzen 5 3501U sits 0.6% higher, AMD Ryzen 3 7320C is 0.3% higher, Intel Core i5-10400F is 0.3% lower, and Intel Xeon 6756E is 0.5% lower. These deltas are minuscule, indicating the Intel Core 7 160UL performs on par with a cluster of mid-range desktop and mobile parts.

The absence of AMD data means any performance comparison must remain qualitative. The Intel chip's 69th percentile rank places it above the median processor in the database, while the AMD part's 50th percentile is based on no measurements, effectively a placeholder. Benchmark results indicate the Intel Core 7 160UL is the only one of the two with verified performance characteristics.

A: No. The AMD part uses 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB L3. The Intel part uses 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. 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 fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 160UL uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and is built on Intel's 10 nm process. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 10 cores and 12 threads. This means the AMD part offers more simultaneous threads despite fewer physical cores, a result of Hyper-Threading-style simultaneous multithreading on every core. The Intel part uses a hybrid configuration common to Raptor Lake, but the database does not specify the performance and efficiency core split.

Cache hierarchies diverge as well. Both processors share 80 KB L1 per core. The AMD part has 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3 total. The Intel part has 1.25 MB L2 per core and 12 MB shared L3, giving Intel a larger total cache footprint.

Clock speeds are close. The AMD base clock is 2.00 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz. The Intel base clock is 1.80 GHz with a boost of 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip boosts higher, but the AMD chip starts from a higher base frequency.

Memory support differs. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, plus ECC memory support. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but no bandwidth figure is recorded and ECC is not supported. PCIe lanes also differ: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, Intel provides Gen 4 with 8 CPU-only lanes.

Integrated graphics are distinct. AMD uses the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The AMD part is classified as a mobile segment processor, while the Intel part is classified as desktop segment. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning no overclocking support.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear choice for anyone requiring verified performance. The Intel Core 7 160UL has extensive benchmark coverage: 17 tests spanning Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and Passmark workloads. Its average score of 14232 places it at the 69th percentile, with nearest rivals within a narrow 0.6% band. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark results, no average score, and a percentile figure that reflects the absence of data rather than measured performance.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel chip's Cinebench R23 score of 9386 and Passmark multi-thread score of 11043 indicate solid throughput. For single-threaded tasks, the Passmark single-thread score of 3391 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1325 show capable per-core performance. The 10-core, 12-thread configuration delivers these results within a 15 W TDP, compared to the AMD part's 28 W TDP.

The AMD processor offers architectural advantages on paper: a 4 nm process, 8 cores with 16 threads, higher base clock, larger PCIe lane count, ECC memory, and LPDDR5X support. But none of these translate into measured performance in the database. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock, larger L3 cache, and a lower TDP.

The verdict is straightforward: the Intel Core 7 160UL is the only processor with empirical evidence of performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i remains an unverified entry. Users who prioritize measured results should select the Intel part. Users who require the AMD processor's specific features, such as ECC memory, 16 PCIe lanes, or LPDDR5X support, must accept that no benchmark data exists to validate its performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 7 160UL uses 10 cores and 12 threads. AMD's base clock is 2.00 GHz versus Intel's 1.80 GHz. Intel's boost clock is 5.20 GHz versus AMD's 5.00 GHz. TDP differs: AMD consumes 28 W, Intel consumes 15 W.

Sockets are incompatible. AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The process nodes differ: AMD uses 4 nm at TSMC, Intel uses 10 nm at Intel. Die size is recorded only for AMD at 233 mm². Cache differs in L2 and L3: AMD has 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3, Intel has 1.25 MB L2 per core and 12 MB shared L3.

Memory support diverges. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory. AMD records 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, Intel has no bandwidth figure. ECC is supported on AMD, not on Intel. PCIe lanes differ: AMD has Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, Intel has Gen 4 with 8 CPU-only lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 880M, Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Market segments diverge: AMD is mobile, Intel is desktop. Release dates differ: AMD is recorded as 2026-03-08, Intel as 2024-04-07. Both processors have locked multipliers, no recorded launch MSRP, and unknown part numbers. Production status is active for both.
