AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

The Verdict

The database records two processors aimed at entirely different segments. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i is a mobile-first, high-efficiency part built on a modern 4 nm process, while the Intel Core i5-110 is a desktop-oriented chip on the older 14 nm Comet Lake architecture with a 65 W TDP. The data shows the AMD part uses a newer process node, higher core count, and faster memory bandwidth, whereas the Intel part offers a higher base clock and a larger shared L3 cache.

For workloads that favor multi-threading, power efficiency, and modern platform features such as DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 4, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i is the stronger choice. For applications that depend on high single-thread base frequency and a larger shared cache pool, the Intel Core i5-110 has structural advantages. Since both parts hold identical percentile rankings against all CPUs, neither dominates the other in the aggregate; the decision rests on platform requirements.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs 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 i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, a 14 nm process from Intel, and carries no recorded die size in the database.

Core configuration differs sharply. The AMD chip provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Cache organization also diverges: the AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a total of 8 MB of L3. The Intel part uses 64 KB of L1 per core and 256 KB of L2 per core, but pools 12 MB of shared L3. This means the Intel chip has 50% more L3 capacity, which can benefit latency-sensitive workloads that repeatedly access a working set larger than 8 MB.

Memory architecture is another major split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s. The AMD part therefore offers more than double the theoretical memory bandwidth, a decisive factor for bandwidth-bound tasks. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, while the Intel chip does not.

PCIe connectivity differs by one generation. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The newer PCIe standard on the AMD side doubles the per-lane bandwidth, which matters for NVMe storage and discrete accelerators.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i carries a Radeon 880M, while the Intel Core i5-110 uses UHD Graphics 630. The database does not record performance metrics for either iGPU, but the architectural gap between the two is significant.

The production status for both is Active. The AMD part has a release date of 2026-03-08, and the Intel part has a release date of 2025-09-10. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct benchmark scores for either processor in the head-to-head table, and the average benchmark score for both is zero. The nearest rival lists are empty, so there are no delta percentages to cite. The recorded percentile placement for both parts against all CPUs is 50, meaning the database places them at the median of the overall distribution. Without individual workload scores, the comparative analysis must rely on the specification deltas.

The most pronounced measurable difference is memory bandwidth. The AMD part records 89.6 GB/s versus 42.7 GB/s for the Intel part, a 109.8% advantage. This directly impacts any workload that streams data, such as compression, large dataset processing, or integrated graphics memory access, since the Radeon 880M would use the same memory bus.

Thread count favors the AMD part at 16 threads versus 12, a 33.3% advantage. For parallel rendering, compilation, or simulation workloads that scale with thread count, the AMD chip has the structural edge. The Intel part counters with a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, a 45% advantage at idle-to-moderate load. The boost clocks are closer: 5.00 GHz for AMD versus 4.30 GHz for Intel, a 16.3% advantage for AMD at maximum single-thread boost.

Cache capacity tells a mixed story. The Intel part has 12 MB of shared L3 versus 8 MB for AMD, a 50% advantage in last-level cache. However, the AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core versus 256 KB per core for Intel, a 4x advantage in per-core L2. For workloads that fit in per-core L2, the AMD chip likely reduces memory latency; for workloads that spill into L3, the Intel chip holds more data on-die.

Process node disparity is stark: 4 nm for AMD versus 14 nm for Intel. The database records a 28 W TDP for the AMD part versus 65 W for the Intel part. The AMD chip delivers more cores and higher boost clocks while drawing less than half the thermal envelope, indicating a substantial efficiency difference. The Intel part draws 65 W to reach a 4.30 GHz boost, while the AMD part draws 28 W to reach 5.00 GHz.

Socket compatibility is not interchangeable. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile platform socket, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1200, a desktop platform socket. This alone dictates platform choice.

The TDP difference is the largest single specification gap relative to the core count. The AMD part runs 8 cores at 28 W, while the Intel part runs 6 cores at 65 W. The Intel chip has a higher base clock, but the AMD chip has a higher boost clock and more threads. The Intel part has more L3, but the AMD part has far more L2 per core and substantially higher memory bandwidth.

Platform features also diverge: the AMD part supports ECC and DDR5/LPDDR5X, while the Intel part does not support ECC and is limited to DDR4. The PCIe generation differs as well, with AMD on Gen 4 and Intel on Gen 3.
