AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i and the Intel Core 7 360. However, the recorded data for the Intel Core 7 360 provides a detailed performance profile, while the AMD part currently lacks benchmark entries. This asymmetry means the comparison relies on the Intel part's measured scores and the architectural specifications of both processors.

The Intel Core 7 360 posts an average benchmark score of 18,374, placing it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 (0% delta), the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345 (0.2% ahead of the Core 7 360), the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318 (0.3% ahead), and the Intel Core 3 305 at 18,302 (0.4% ahead). These narrow deltas indicate the Core 7 360 sits in a tightly contested performance band, effectively matching the Core i3-13100 while trailing the other three rivals by less than half a percentage point.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel Core 7 360 scores 1,374 in multi-core and 193 in single-core. The R20 run shows 5,726 multi-core and 808 single-core. The R23 results record 13,634 multi-core and 1,924 single-core. These numbers reveal a processor that scales reasonably with thread count, though the single-core figures remain modest relative to the multi-core output.

PassMark results for the Intel part cover a range of workloads. The multi-thread score is 15,544, while single-thread reaches 4,274. Integer math scores 34,238, floating-point math 44,963, and extended instructions 12,390. Data compression records 142,877, data encryption 11,164, and random string sorting 17,636. Physics scores 1,213, and finding prime numbers scores 120. The Intel Core 7 360 handles compression tasks particularly well, with the data compression score far exceeding the integer and floating-point math figures, indicating strong algorithmic throughput in specific workloads.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark scores in the database, no direct wins or losses can be quantified. The comparison must instead examine the architectural and specification differences that would influence future measured performance.

Where Each One Wins

Workload segmentation for the Intel Core 7 360 is directly visible in its benchmark data. The strongest relative performance appears in data compression at 142,877, which dominates its other PassMark scores by a wide margin. Floating-point math at 44,963 and integer math at 34,238 show solid arithmetic throughput, while extended instructions at 12,390 and data encryption at 11,164 indicate moderate SIMD and cryptographic performance. Random string sorting at 17,636 suggests competent memory and pointer-chasing behavior, though the single-channel memory bus may limit scaling in memory-intensive tasks.

The multi-thread score of 15,544 against a single-thread score of 4,274 yields a ratio near 3.6x, which is plausible for a 6-core, 6-thread processor without hyper-threading. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 13,634 compared to the single-core result of 1,924 gives a ratio near 7.1x, but these tests use different scaling characteristics, so direct cross-test comparisons should be treated cautiously.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers 8 cores and 16 threads, double the thread count of the Intel part. The database does not contain measured wins for the AMD processor, but its higher core and thread counts, combined with a 5.00 GHz boost clock versus the Intel's 4.80 GHz, suggest it would likely outperform in heavily threaded workloads such as video rendering, compilation, and scientific computing. The Intel Core 7 360, with its 6 cores and 6 threads, would likely excel in lightly threaded tasks where its single-core boost behavior and efficient 15 W TDP matter more than raw thread throughput.

The AMD part's 28 W TDP and dual-channel memory bus position it for sustained multi-core workloads, while the Intel part's 15 W TDP and single-channel memory bus align with power-constrained or battery-focused mobile designs. The Intel part's 72nd percentile ranking shows it already outperforms a majority of all CPUs in the database, so its efficiency profile does not come at the cost of overall capability.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. The process node is 4 nm, manufactured by TSMC. The die size is 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, belongs to the Core 5 generation, and is built on a 3 nm process node at Intel's own foundry. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The per-core L1 and L2 figures favor Intel on a per-core basis, but the AMD part's larger core count (8 versus 6) changes the aggregate picture: AMD's total L2 reaches 8 MB across all cores, while Intel's totals 15 MB across all cores. The L3 cache favors AMD at 8 MB versus Intel's 6 MB, though Intel's L3 is shared while AMD's L3 figure is presented without a shared designation.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD processor supports dual-channel memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor supports single-channel memory with 59.7 GB/s. Both support DDR5 and LPDDR5X. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ by vendor and configuration. The AMD part uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses the Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. No benchmark scores for either integrated GPU are recorded in the database, so graphical performance cannot be compared numerically.

The AMD part's boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds the Intel part's 4.80 GHz, and the base clocks are 2.00 GHz and 1.50 GHz respectively. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's market segment is mobile, as is the Intel part's.
