AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 3 N350 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile only for the Intel Core 3 N350, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 carries no benchmark entries. As a result, every measured score belongs to the Intel part, and the comparison must be framed around what the Intel processor delivers on its own terms and how its specifications position it against the AMD competitor.

The Intel Core 3 N350 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 6274 and a single-core score of 885. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 2635 and the single-core result is 371. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core score of 632 and a single-core score of 89. These results indicate a processor designed for efficiency-focused workloads rather than raw throughput, with the single-core figures particularly modest relative to desktop-class parts.

PassMark testing reveals a more detailed picture. The multi-thread score reaches 7382, while the single-thread score sits at 1974. Integer math produces 27669, floating-point math produces 17781, and extended instructions yield 3981. Data compression scores 80444, data encryption scores 5693, and random string sorting scores 10102. Find prime numbers returns only 20, and physics simulation returns 446. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 9903, placing the processor at the 66th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Intel part's standing. The Intel Core i7-3770 averages 9706, which is 2% lower than the Core 3 N350's average. The Intel Core i5-1035G1 averages 9684, also 2.3% lower. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 7F52 averages 10159, which is 2.5% higher, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 averages 10230, which is 3.2% higher. This places the Core 3 N350 in a narrow band: it outperforms older desktop and mobile chips by a small margin but trails server-class silicon by a similarly small margin.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded benchmark scores, no direct head-to-head numerical comparison is possible. The database shows zero wins for each processor in the head-to-head category, confirming the absence of paired test data. The analysis must therefore rely on the architectural and specification differences to infer relative positioning.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 3 N350 is a fully measured processor with a clear performance profile, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is unmeasured in the database. Any verdict about the AMD part must be derived from its specifications alone, and the verdict about the Intel part can draw on concrete scores.

For users selecting based on measured performance, the Intel Core 3 N350 delivers a documented baseline: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 6274 and a PassMark average of 9903. Its 66th percentile ranking among all CPUs shows it sits above the median, and its 2% and 2.3% advantages over the Core i7-3770 and Core i5-1035G1 respectively demonstrate that it competes favorably with established processors from previous generations.

For users selecting based on architectural capability, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 presents a stronger theoretical profile. It offers 10 cores and 20 threads versus the Intel part's 8 cores and 8 threads, giving it a 2.5x thread advantage. Its boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz compared to 3.90 GHz, and its 28 W TDP is four times the Intel part's 7 W envelope. The AMD processor uses a 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm process, and it supports dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth versus the Intel part's single-channel 38.4 GB/s. These figures indicate that the AMD part targets a higher performance tier, albeit at a significantly higher power draw.

The verdict splits cleanly: the Intel Core 3 N350 is the only part with measured results and suits low-power, efficiency-focused deployments. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, based on its specification sheet, should deliver substantially higher multi-threaded performance and memory bandwidth, but the database cannot confirm this without benchmark data.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 N350 wins in every measured category simply because it is the only part with recorded scores. Its 7 W TDP makes it suitable for fanless or passively cooled designs, and its single-channel memory configuration keeps platform complexity low. The PassMark data compression score of 80444 is particularly strong, suggesting efficient handling of compression workloads relative to the processor's modest power envelope. The integer math score of 27669 and floating-point score of 17781 indicate balanced general-purpose compute capability.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 wins on paper in every architectural category. Its 20 threads versus 8 threads gives it a clear advantage in heavily parallel workloads such as rendering, compilation, and virtualization. The dual-channel memory interface with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is more than double the Intel part's 38.4 GB/s, which directly benefits memory-bound applications. The 5.00 GHz boost clock exceeds the Intel part's 3.90 GHz, and the 16 MB L3 cache outweighs the Intel part's 6 MB shared L3. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics is paired with a processor that uses the Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture, indicating a more modern microarchitecture than the Alder Lake-N based Core 3.

The use-case split is therefore clear. The Intel Core 3 N350 suits embedded and mobile applications where power consumption is the primary constraint and where the workload fits within 8 threads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 suits applications requiring higher throughput, more concurrent threads, and faster memory access, accepting a 28 W power envelope as the trade-off.
