AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 7 250H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains recorded performance data for the Intel Core 7 250H, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark entries in our measurements. This makes the comparison one-sided in terms of measured results, but the available Intel data can still be interpreted against its nearest rivals to establish a performance baseline. The Intel Core 7 250H achieves an average benchmark score of 35728, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its closest competitor, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350, scores 35719, a delta of 0 percent, meaning the two are effectively tied in aggregate performance. The Intel part edges ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, which scores 35670, by 0.2 percent. Against the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, the Core 7 250H trails by 0.2 percent, and against the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, it trails by 0.5 percent. These deltas are small, indicating that the Core 7 250H sits in a tightly contested performance band.

Looking at individual workload results for the Intel Core 7 250H, multi-core rendering scores are substantial. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it records 3147 points. Cinebench R20 multi-core reaches 9697 points, and Cinebench R23 multi-core climbs to 16561 points. Single-core results follow a similar progression: 298 points in Cinebench R15, 1368 points in Cinebench R20, and 1931 points in Cinebench R23. The PassMark suite adds further detail. Integer math scores 99100, floating point math scores 65094, and extended instructions score 17318. Data compression reaches 303269, while data encryption scores 18206. Random string sorting records 34136. The multithread score is 27030, and single-thread performance is 4148. Physics testing produces 1824 points, and prime number finding records 106 points.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark scores, there is no direct head-to-head score comparison to present. The wins table shows zero wins for each side. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural specifications and the relative positioning of the Intel part against its measured rivals.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 7 250H is a well-established performer in the mobile segment, with an 85th percentile rank and an average benchmark score of 35728. Its nearest rivals sit within a 0.5 percent band of that score, so the Core 7 250H can be considered statistically equivalent to the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350, the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X in aggregate performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark results in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified relative to the Intel part or any other CPU.

For users selecting strictly from recorded data, the Intel Core 7 250H is the only option with measurable performance evidence. It delivers multi-core results that place it near the top of its competitive set, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 16561 points and PassMark multithread at 27030. The AMD part offers a different architectural profile but lacks any measured scores, so any performance claim about it would be unsupported by the database. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Intel Core 7 250H has proven performance, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i does not yet have a recorded performance footprint.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in core configuration and manufacturing technology. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Gorgon Point codename with a generation label of Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). Its process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 250H uses 14 cores and 20 threads, based on the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-H codename and a Raptor Lake Refresh generation label. Its process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The Intel part has a higher base clock of 2.50 GHz compared to 2.00 GHz on the AMD part, and a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz compared to 5.00 GHz.

Cache hierarchies differ as well. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel processor substantially more total cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. Thermal design power also differs: the AMD part is rated at 28 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 45 watts. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1744.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it, and it does not support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ, with the AMD part using Radeon 880M and the Intel part using Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The release dates differ as well. The Intel Core 7 250H was released on 2024-12-17, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has a release date of 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $502, which can be stated once as a point of reference. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database. The Intel part has an identified part number, SRQ6UQ5MK, while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 250H wins in every measured category because it is the only processor of the two with benchmark data. Its multi-core Cinebench results are strong: 3147 in R15, 9697 in R20, and 16561 in R23. These scores indicate solid performance in rendering and heavily threaded workloads. Its PassMark multithread score of 27030 reinforces that position. Single-core performance is also recorded, with 4148 in PassMark single-thread and 1931 in Cinebench R23 single-core, suggesting capable responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks. The Intel part also benefits from a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz and a larger shared L3 cache of 24 MB, which can help in workloads that are sensitive to cache capacity and frequency. Its 45 watt TDP allows for sustained performance in systems designed to handle the thermal load.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded wins in the database. Architecturally, it offers advantages that could matter in specific deployment scenarios. Its 28 watt TDP is lower than the Intel part's 45 watt TDP, which may be relevant for thermally constrained embedded systems. It supports ECC memory, which is often required in reliability-focused environments. Its memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s, and it uses a 4 nm TSMC process, which indicates a more modern manufacturing node than the Intel part's 10 nm process. The AMD part also provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, compared to Gen 5 with 8 lanes on the Intel side, so it offers more PCIe lanes, though at an older generation. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics differ from the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, but no graphics benchmark data is available for either part.

For use-case classification based on recorded data, the Intel Core 7 250H is the choice for any scenario where measurable performance is required. Its multi-core scores are robust, its single-core scores are solid, and its aggregate performance places it at 85th percentile, statistically tied with several strong rivals. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i cannot be assigned a workload win from the database because no measurements exist. Its specification sheet suggests it is designed for embedded applications where power efficiency, ECC support, and a compact 233 mm² die on a 4 nm node may be priorities, but the database does not yet contain the data to confirm performance in those roles. The recorded evidence favors the Intel part across every benchmark category.
