AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no head-to-head benchmark comparisons for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i against the Intel Core 7 253PTE. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and neither processor has a win count in direct comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE carries a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,276 and a single-core score of 3,003. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 8,935 multi-core and 1,261 single-core. Cinebench R15 results show 2,144 multi-core and 302 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 25,031, a single-thread score of 3,794, integer math at 119,552, floating-point math at 67,209, and data compression at 275,828. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 34,962, placing it at the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, with no recorded benchmark entries. This means direct numerical comparison between the two is not possible from the available data. The database does show, however, that the Intel Core 7 253PTE lands within 0.2% of several nearby rivals: it trails the Intel Core i7-13800H by 0.1%, trails the Intel Core i9-12900HX by 0.1%, leads the Intel Xeon 6349P by 0.2%, and leads the AMD Ryzen 5 150 by 0.2%. These delta values indicate that the Intel processor's performance profile is tightly clustered among comparable mobile and embedded parts.

Without any head-to-head benchmark data for the AMD part, the analysis must rely on architectural specifications and the Intel processor's standalone results to characterize relative positioning.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 7 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Core counts differ meaningfully. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks are close: the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz, the Intel part at 1.80 GHz. Boost clocks favor Intel, with 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz for AMD. Thermal design power also diverges: the AMD part is rated at 28 W, while the Intel part is rated at 45 W.

Cache layouts are distinct. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part therefore carries a substantially larger L3 pool.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both are dual-channel with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity shows a generation gap. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: AMD includes a Radeon 880M, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730.

Sockets are not interchangeable. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile-oriented socket, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. Market segments reflect this: the AMD part is classified as Mobile, the Intel part as Desktop. Both are listed as Active in production status, and both have a release date of 2026-03-08. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The database shows the Intel Core 7 253PTE as a fully benchmarked processor with an average score of 34,962 and an 84th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are within 0.2%, confirming it sits in a competitive performance band for its class. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark scores recorded, placing it at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0. Direct performance conclusions cannot be drawn from the data.

The Intel part offers more cores, threads, L3 cache, and a higher boost clock, alongside PCIe Gen 5 connectivity and a desktop socket. The AMD part counters with a smaller process node, a lower TDP of 28 W versus 45 W, LPDDR5X memory support, and a mobile socket. The AMD part's integrated graphics, the Radeon 880M, differs from the Intel UHD Graphics 730, but no graphics benchmarks are present to quantify the difference.

For workloads that benefit from multi-core throughput, the Intel processor's 10 cores and 20 threads, combined with 33 MB of L3 cache, suggest a structural advantage, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,276 supports that. For single-threaded tasks, the Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,003 indicate strong per-thread performance. The AMD part's 5.00 GHz boost clock and Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture may be competitive, but without benchmark results, the database cannot confirm any such performance.

The choice between the two depends on platform requirements. The Intel Core 7 253PTE targets desktop Socket 1700 systems with DDR4 or DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i targets mobile Socket FP8 systems with DDR5 or LPDDR5X memory and PCIe Gen 4, at a lower 28 W TDP. The data indicates the Intel part is the higher-performing option based on recorded benchmarks, while the AMD part is the lower-power, mobile-oriented alternative.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins on raw multi-threaded capability based on its recorded benchmarks. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,276, Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 8,935, and PassMark multi-thread score of 25,031 all point to strong parallel workload performance. The PassMark integer math score of 119,552 and floating-point math score of 67,209 further support this. Its 10 cores, 20 threads, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache provide the structural foundation for these results. The higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz also favors single-threaded tasks, as indicated by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,003 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,794.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i wins on power efficiency and platform flexibility. Its 28 W TDP is lower than the Intel part's 45 W, making it suitable for thermally constrained mobile designs. The 4 nm TSMC process node indicates a denser, more modern fabrication approach compared to the Intel 10 nm node. The AMD part supports LPDDR5X memory, which is common in compact mobile systems, and its Radeon 880M integrated graphics may offer different display and media capabilities than the Intel UHD Graphics 730, though no benchmarks confirm this. The AMD part also uses a mobile socket (FP8), which pairs with the mobile market segment classification.

In terms of PCIe, the Intel part wins on generation, offering Gen 5 versus Gen 4 on the AMD side, which matters for high-bandwidth peripherals in desktop systems. The Intel part also wins on memory versatility by supporting both DDR4 and DDR5, whereas the AMD part only supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X.

The recorded data gives no wins to either processor in direct head-to-head benchmarks, as that list is empty. The AMD processor has no benchmark scores at all, so its wins are inferred from specifications rather than measured results. The Intel processor's wins are grounded in its substantial benchmark suite. For users prioritizing measured performance, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the only one of the two with data to support a performance claim. For users prioritizing low power and mobile integration, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i presents the relevant attributes, but the database cannot quantify its performance impact.
