AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core 9 273PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i against the Intel Core 9 273PTE. The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed. The Intel part, by contrast, has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmarks, an average score of 31143, and a percentile ranking of 82 across all CPUs.

For the Intel Core 9 273PTE, the strongest results appear in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 20445. In Cinebench R20 multi-core it records 8586, and in Cinebench R15 multi-core it reaches 2060. Single-core results follow the same pattern: Cinebench R23 single-core scores 2886, Cinebench R20 single-core scores 1212, and Cinebench R15 single-core scores 290.

The Passmark suite adds further detail. The Intel part scores 24054 in multithread, 3433 in single-thread, 82411 in integer math, 60673 in floating-point math, 15952 in extended instructions, and 14253 in data encryption. In data compression it reaches 258704, in random string sorting 28973, in physics 1917, and in find prime numbers 142.

Because the AMD part has no benchmark data, the comparison across these workloads is not possible from recorded measurements. The database shows the Intel processor operating at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD processor sits at the 50th percentile with no average score. That percentile gap reflects the absence of data for the AMD side rather than a measured performance difference.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE also has four nearest rivals in the database. It scores 0.2% above the Intel Core i7-12700F, 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS, and 0.4% above the Intel Core i7-13700TE. It trails the Intel Core i7-12650HX by 0.5%. These deltas are narrow, indicating that the Core 9 273PTE sits in a tightly clustered performance band among those processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ substantially at the architectural level. 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 9 273PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation. It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded.

Core and thread counts diverge. The AMD part provides 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part provides 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel processor therefore offers 50% more cores and 50% more threads. Base clocks differ as well: the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel part runs at 1.40 GHz. Boost clocks favor Intel, with 5.50 GHz against the AMD part's 5.00 GHz.

Cache layouts differ in the L2 and L3 levels. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3 total. The Intel part uses 2 MB of L2 per core and 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor therefore carries a substantially larger L3 pool, and double the L2 per core.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with the same 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capability differs by generation and lane count. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel platform therefore provides a newer PCIe generation at the same lane count.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part carries a Radeon 880M iGPU. The Intel part carries UHD Graphics 730. The market segments also differ: the AMD processor is classified as Mobile, while the Intel processor is classified as Desktop. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The Intel part has an unlocked multiplier flag set to false, as does the AMD part, so neither processor permits multiplier overclocking.

The production status for both is Active, and both share the same release date of 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a recorded part number of SA4QJ, while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear decision for workloads measured by the database. The Intel Core 9 273PTE has all of the benchmark results, an average score of 31143, and a percentile ranking of 82. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no benchmark results and no average score. Any comparison of measured performance therefore favors the Intel part, because the database contains no measured data for the AMD part.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel part's configuration suggests an advantage. It offers 12 cores and 24 threads against 8 cores and 16 threads, a 50% core and thread advantage. It also carries 36 MB of shared L3 against 8 MB, and double the L2 per core. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 20445, and in Passmark multithread it scores 24054.

For single-threaded workloads, the Intel part also has the higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz against 5.00 GHz. Its recorded Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2886, and its Passmark single-thread score is 3433.

The AMD part does hold advantages in specific platform areas. It uses a 4 nm process at TSMC, which is a smaller node than the Intel part's 10 nm process. It supports LPDDR5X memory, which the Intel part does not. It is built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture, and it is classified as a Mobile part, whereas the Intel part is a Desktop part.

The Intel Core 9 273PTE also has a recorded launch MSRP of $549. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

For a user selecting between these two processors based on database records, the Intel Core 9 273PTE is the only one with measured performance data. Its percentile ranking of 82 and average score of 31143 place it in the upper portion of the database, and its nearest rivals confirm it performs within 0.5% of several established desktop and mobile parts. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i cannot be assessed on measured performance, since no scores exist in the database. The choice, from the data, is therefore the Intel part for any benchmark-driven decision, with the AMD part limited to platform-specific considerations such as process node, memory type, and form factor.
