AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 5 220H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 versus the Intel Core 5 220H. The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark entries, while the Intel Core 5 220H carries a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. This asymmetry means the comparative analysis must rely on the Intel processor's measured performance and the architectural characteristics of both parts.

The Intel Core 5 220H delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 11198 and a single-core score of 1853. In Cinebench R20, the same processor posts 7812 multi-core and 1102 single-core. The R15 results show 1835 multi-core and 262 single-core. These scores place the Intel part at the 80th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 28574.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Intel Core 5 220H. The AMD EPYC 7203P scores 28583 on average, a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS averages 28549, a 0.1% difference. The Intel Xeon E-2436 averages 28530, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i5-12600 averages 28646, which is 0.3% higher. These deltas are minimal, indicating that the Core 5 220H sits in a tightly contested performance band.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 220H show 247921 in data compression, 15216 in data encryption, 14642 in extended instructions, and 82 in find prime numbers. Floating point math scores 51671, integer math scores 73555, multithread scores 21884, and physics scores 1478. Random string sorting reaches 28438, and single-thread performance records 3405.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has a percentile rank of 50 and an average benchmark score of 0. The database records no wins for either processor in head-to-head comparisons, and the wins counters show zero for both sides. The absence of AMD benchmark data means no direct score comparisons are possible; the analysis must instead focus on specifications and available Intel measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 220H wins in every measured benchmark category because it is the only one of the two processors with recorded scores. The data shows multi-core workloads benefit from the Intel processor's 12 cores and 16 threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11198 indicates strong parallel throughput. Single-core performance, measured at 1853 in R23, reflects a boost clock of 4.90 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores, so no measured wins can be attributed to it. However, its specifications suggest different strengths. The AMD part offers 10 cores and 20 threads, which provides more thread count than the Intel processor's 16 threads. The AMD boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz, which is 100 MHz higher than the Intel part's 4.90 GHz. The AMD processor also includes support for ECC memory, a feature absent from the Intel Core 5 220H.

The Intel Core 5 220H operates with a TDP of 45 watts, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 consumes 28 watts. The lower TDP on the AMD side indicates a more power-efficient design in terms of rated thermal envelope. The Intel processor's higher TDP may allow for sustained performance under load, but no power or thermal measurements appear in the database.

For memory, the Intel Core 5 220H supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The AMD memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s with dual-channel configuration. The Intel memory bandwidth is not listed in the database. The AMD processor's LPDDR5X support enables lower-power memory configurations that suit embedded applications.

The integrated graphics differ substantially. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel Core 5 220H uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. No graphics benchmarks are recorded for either processor, so the comparison relies on the known product names and their relative positioning in the market.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The die size measures 233 mm². The Intel Core 5 220H uses the Raptor Lake architecture with a Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Core 5 generation based on Raptor Lake Refresh. The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The die size is not recorded.

The core configuration reveals a hybrid approach on the AMD side. The Zen 5 and Zen 5c combination suggests a mix of high-performance and high-efficiency cores, though the exact core distribution is not specified. The Intel part uses a 12-core, 16-thread setup, which implies a mix of performance and efficiency cores typical of Raptor Lake, but the specific hybrid layout is not detailed in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ in L2 and L3 capacities. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD L2 cache is 1 MB per core, while the Intel L2 cache is 2 MB per core. The L3 cache on the AMD side is 16 MB, while the Intel side has 18 MB shared. The larger per-core L2 on the Intel part may benefit workloads with high per-core data locality, while the larger shared L3 on Intel provides more aggregate cache for multi-core tasks.

The PCIe support shows a notable difference. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core 5 220H provides PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part has a newer PCIe generation, which doubles the per-lane bandwidth, but the AMD part has twice the lane count. The practical impact depends on the connected devices and their bandwidth requirements.

Memory support diverges in format and capability. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with ECC memory enabled. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5, without ECC. The AMD memory bandwidth is measured at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel bandwidth is not recorded. The AMD processor's socket is AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1744.

The Intel Core 5 220H has a launch MSRP of $342, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD processor is listed as releasing on 2026-02-28, while the Intel processor released on 2024-12-17. Both are marked as Active in production status and target the mobile market segment. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
