AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core 3 100HL has a full suite of Cinebench and Passmark results. This means direct numerical comparisons are impossible for the AMD part, and the analysis must rely on the Intel part's measured performance, its percentile placement, and its nearest rivals.

The Intel Core 3 100HL posts an average benchmark score of 23,545. This places it at the 76th percentile of all CPUs in the database, a strong showing for a desktop processor. Its nearest rivals in the database are close in average score: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U at 23,709, the Intel Core i5-11500 at 23,718, the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V at 23,297, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H at 23,277. The deltas are small, ranging from 1.2% ahead of the Ryzen 7 5800H to 0.7% behind the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U and Core i5-11500. The Intel part is 1.1% ahead of the Core Ultra 7 266V.

Looking at specific workloads, the Core 3 100HL shows clear strengths. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 14,948, while in single-core it scores 2,110. Cinebench R20 results show 6,278 multi-core and 886 single-core. In Cinebench R15, the scores are 1,506 multi-core and 212 single-core. These results indicate a balanced processor capable of both sustained multi-threaded loads and responsive single-threaded tasks.

Passmark results reinforce this profile. The multi-thread score is 17,586, and the single-thread score is 3,735. Integer math scores 56,308, while floating-point math scores 42,108. Data compression reaches 202,225, and data encryption hits 11,964. Extended instructions score 12,463. Random string sorting scores 23,223. Physics scores 928. Prime number finding scores 48. Since the AMD chip has no recorded benchmarks, the Intel processor stands as the only measured entity in this comparison, and all performance interpretation must be derived from its data alone.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing backgrounds. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 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 3 100HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-PS, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. No die size is recorded for the Intel part.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 12 threads. The AMD part therefore offers more parallel execution resources on paper, but without benchmark data for the AMD chip, the real-world impact cannot be quantified. Base clocks are close: 2.00 GHz for AMD and 2.10 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks differ more meaningfully, with AMD reaching 5.00 GHz and Intel reaching 4.60 GHz.

Cache layouts follow different strategies. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. L2 cache is 1 MB per core on the AMD chip and 2 MB per core on the Intel chip. L3 cache is 16 MB on the AMD chip and 12 MB shared on the Intel chip. The AMD processor uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel support and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory is supported on the AMD chip but not on the Intel chip.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also diverge: AMD uses the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU. Power targets are distinct, with the AMD chip rated at 28 W TDP and the Intel chip at 45 W TDP. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD market segment is mobile, and the Intel market segment is desktop. Production status is active for both. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 100HL is the only processor in this pairing with measured performance data. Its benchmark suite shows strengths across both synthetic rendering and real-world-style compute tasks. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the score of 14,948 indicates solid sustained throughput. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the score of 2,110 indicates strong per-thread performance. The Passmark integer math score of 56,308 and floating-point math score of 42,108 confirm that the chip handles arithmetic-heavy workloads effectively. Data compression at 202,225 is a standout result, suggesting the chip is well suited to file compression and decompression tasks. Data encryption at 11,964 shows moderate cryptographic throughput. Extended instructions at 12,463 reflect reasonable SIMD and vector workload performance.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded benchmarks, so no measured wins can be attributed to it. However, the specification sheet offers qualitative advantages. The AMD chip has more cores and threads, a higher boost clock, a larger L3 cache, faster memory bandwidth, ECC support, and a lower TDP. These specifications suggest potential wins in heavily threaded workloads, memory-sensitive applications, and power-constrained environments, but the database contains no scores to confirm such outcomes. The Intel chip, by contrast, has demonstrated wins in every benchmark category where data exists, simply because it is the only measured part.

The Intel chip's nearest rivals provide context for its standing. It is 1.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, a well-known high-performance mobile processor, and 1.1% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V. It sits 0.7% behind both the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U and the Intel Core i5-11500. These narrow margins place the Core 3 100HL in a competitive band, neither dominant nor trailing within its immediate peer group.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but lopsided conclusion. The Intel Core 3 100HL is a measured, active processor with a 76th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 23,545. Its performance is competitive with several established processors, trailing the Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U and Core i5-11500 by only 0.7% and leading the Core Ultra 7 266V by 1.1% and the Ryzen 7 5800H by 1.2%. For any workload where measured performance matters, the Intel part is the only option with evidence in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark data, because no benchmark data exists for it. Its specifications suggest a capable processor, with 10 cores, 20 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, 16 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It also supports ECC memory and uses a 4 nm TSMC process, which points to modern manufacturing efficiency. But the absence of scores means any performance claim for the AMD part would be speculative, and the database does not support speculation.

The choice between these two processors depends entirely on whether measured performance or listed specifications take priority. For verified performance, the Intel Core 3 100HL is the clear pick. For a processor with higher core counts, lower TDP, and newer process technology, the AMD part has theoretical appeal. The recorded data, however, only validates the Intel chip.
