AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 3 304 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is limited to the Intel Core 3 304 side. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores in the database, which means a direct numerical head-to-head cannot be constructed from the available measurements. The Intel Core 3 304 posts an average benchmark score of 13745, placing it at the 68th percentile of all CPUs in the database. This percentile indicates the chip performs above the midpoint of the recorded CPU pool.

The Intel Core 3 304 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 5263 and a single-core score of 1765. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 4160 and the single-core result is 587. The older Cinebench R15 workload shows 849 multi-core and 264 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 11625, a single-thread score of 3614, integer math at 24640, floating-point math at 29722, extended instructions at 9686, data compression at 114775, data encryption at 8501, and random string sorting at 13659. Physics processing scores 868, and find-prime-numbers scores 68.

Because the AMD part lacks recorded benchmark entries, the nearest rival comparison for the Intel chip provides the only relational context. The Intel Core 3 304 sits within 1.4% of the AMD EPYC 7443, which posts an average score of 13936 with a delta of -1.4%. It trails the Intel Core i7-8750H by 0.9%, as that chip scores 13868. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX scores 13786, a 0.3% gap. The Intel Core 5 120UL scores 13594, putting the Core 3 304 ahead by 1.1%. These deltas are all small, indicating the Core 3 304 occupies a tightly clustered performance band around the 13700 to 13900 score range.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 shows zero recorded wins in this comparison, and the Intel Core 3 304 also shows zero wins, since no head-to-head benchmark entries exist in the database. The absence of data for the AMD processor means no percentage advantage can be stated for either side.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core 3 304 uses a 3 nm process at Intel. The AMD chip is built on the Gorgon Point codename with a generation labeled Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). The Intel chip uses the Wildcat Lake codename with a generation labeled Core 3 (Wildcat Lake).

The AMD part integrates 10 cores with 20 threads, a base clock of 2.00 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has 5 cores and 5 threads, a base clock of 1.50 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The AMD chip carries 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip carries 192 KB of L1, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD die size is 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD chip uses a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC support. The Intel chip uses a single-channel memory bus with 59.7 GB/s and no ECC support. Both accept DDR5 and LPDDR5X modules.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip uses a Radeon 880M, while the Intel chip uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516.

The production status for both is Active. The AMD release date is 2026-02-28, and the Intel release date is 2026-04-15. The Intel part has a part number of SAE3K, while the AMD part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The database contains no benchmark measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, so any selection between the two must rely on architectural and specification differences rather than recorded performance scores. The Intel Core 3 304 has a full set of benchmark results with an average score of 13745 and a 68th percentile ranking. The AMD part has no scores and sits at the 50th percentile by default.

For workloads that depend on thread count, the AMD chip holds a clear structural advantage with 20 threads versus 5. The AMD part also doubles the L3 cache at 16 MB versus 6 MB, offers dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth versus 59.7 GB/s single-channel, and adds ECC support. The Intel chip counters with a smaller 3 nm process, a higher boost clock relative to its lower base clock, and a lower 15 W TDP versus 28 W for the AMD part. The Intel chip also has a recorded launch MSRP of $309.

For buyers who need validated performance data, only the Intel Core 3 304 can be assessed from the benchmark database. The AMD part cannot be compared numerically because its benchmark array is empty. The Intel chip's nearest rivals all sit within 1.4% of its average score, which suggests it performs in line with established mid-range desktop and mobile processors from several generations. The AMD part's specifications point toward higher multi-thread capability, but without recorded scores, that remains a specification-level inference rather than a measured result.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 304 wins in the category of measured performance evidence. It has 17 benchmark scores in the database, an average score of 13745, and a 68th percentile ranking, while the AMD part has no recorded scores. The Intel chip also wins on power efficiency on paper, with a 15 W TDP versus 28 W, and on process node size at 3 nm versus 4 nm. Its boost clock of 4.30 GHz from a 1.50 GHz base is a larger relative frequency range than the AMD chip's 2.00 GHz to 5.00 GHz span.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 wins on raw specification ceilings. It offers 10 cores and 20 threads versus 5 cores and 5 threads, which indicates substantially higher multi-thread capacity in workloads that scale with thread count. Its 16 MB L3 cache is more than double the Intel chip's 6 MB. The dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is roughly 50% higher than the Intel chip's 59.7 GB/s single-channel figure. The AMD chip adds ECC memory support, which the Intel chip lacks. The AMD chip also provides 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus 6, and a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.30 GHz.

For mobile systems where low power draw is the priority, the Intel chip's 15 W TDP and 3 nm process make it the more conservative choice. For compute-heavy tasks that leverage many threads, large caches, and high memory bandwidth, the AMD chip's specifications indicate the stronger configuration, though the lack of benchmark data prevents a measured confirmation. The Intel chip's nearest rival deltas, all within 1.4%, show it competes closely with a range of AMD and Intel processors in the 13594 to 13936 score band, which gives context for its performance tier despite the absence of AMD P174 scores.
