AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 5 223PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 and the Intel Core 5 223PE. Neither processor has recorded benchmark entries in the comparison table, and the AMD part carries an average benchmark score of 0 with a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs. The Intel part, by contrast, has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 40585, and sits at the 87th percentile.

Because the AMD unit has no benchmark entries, every quantitative comparison in this analysis comes from the Intel processor's absolute scores and its nearest rivals. The Intel Core 5 223PE posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455 and a single-core score of 3734. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 11111 multi-core and 1568 single-core. Cinebench R15 results show 2666 multi-core and 376 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 31124, a single-thread score of 4219, integer math at 99819, floating point math at 76468, extended instructions at 24672, data compression at 346623, data encryption at 18448, find prime numbers at 159, random string sorting at 35798, and physics at 2493.

The Intel processor's nearest rival comparisons show a tight cluster. It is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core 7 253PE, which has an average score of 40557. It is 0.1% behind the Intel Xeon 6357P, which scores 40630. It is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, which scores 40518. It is 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G, which scores 40718. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Core 5 223PE sits in a very competitive performance band where small score differences separate adjacent models.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no nearest rivals listed and no benchmark scores, so there is no measured data to compare its wins or losses against the Intel part. The head-to-head table is empty, and the win counters for both processors are zero. This analysis must therefore rely on the Intel part's recorded data and the architectural specifications of both processors to describe expected behavior.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark data for the AMD processor, the Intel Core 5 223PE is the only part with measurable wins in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455 and single-core score of 3734 indicate strong performance in both heavily threaded workloads and lightly threaded tasks. The PassMark multi-thread score of 31124 and single-thread score of 4219 reinforce this pattern. Data compression at 346623 and integer math at 99819 are the highest absolute values in its recorded suite, suggesting particular strength in compression and integer-heavy processing. Floating point math at 76468 and extended instructions at 24672 show solid capability in scientific and SIMD workloads. Random string sorting at 35798 points to good memory-bound sorting performance. Physics at 2493 is the lowest of its PassMark scores in relative terms, indicating that the processor is less dominant in physics simulation workloads than in integer or compression tasks.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 cannot be assigned any wins from measured data, as the database contains no benchmark entries for it. Its specifications indicate a 10-core, 20-thread design with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The AMD part's higher core and thread counts could suggest an advantage in parallel workloads, but no benchmark results confirm this. The Intel part's higher base and boost clocks suggest an advantage in single-threaded responsiveness, and its recorded single-core scores of 3734 in Cinebench R23 and 4219 in PassMark support that interpretation.

The Intel processor's 65 W TDP versus the AMD processor's 28 W TDP indicates that the AMD part targets a lower power envelope, likely making it more suitable for compact or thermally constrained systems. The Intel part targets the desktop segment with a Socket 1700 mount, while the AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8. These positioning differences matter for system design choices.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use different process technologies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC and uses the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 5 223PE is built on a 10 nm process at Intel and uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 5 generation. The AMD part's smaller process node gives it a transistor density advantage in principle, though the database does not list transistor counts for either processor.

Cache configurations differ notably. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB of L2 cache per core. For L3 cache, the AMD part has 16 MB, while the Intel part has 24 MB shared. The Intel part therefore offers more total cache at the L2 and L3 levels, which can benefit workloads with repeated data access patterns.

Memory support differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, and both have a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. The AMD part's inclusion of LPDDR5X support makes it suitable for low-power mobile designs, while the Intel part's DDR4 support gives it flexibility for cost-conscious desktop builds.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part's Gen 5 support doubles the theoretical bandwidth available to compatible devices such as high-end GPUs or NVMe storage. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses a Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The Radeon 880M is expected to deliver considerably higher integrated graphics performance, though the database provides no benchmark numbers to confirm this.

The AMD processor is a mobile part with a TDP of 28 W, while the Intel processor is a desktop part with a TDP of 65 W. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part has a listed part number of SA4QF and a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD part has no part number listed and no launch MSRP.

Release timing is close. The AMD processor has a release date of 2026-02-28, and the Intel processor has a release date of 2026-03-08. Both are marked as active in production.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports the Intel Core 5 223PE as the measured performer. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455, single-core score of 3734, PassMark multi-thread score of 31124, and single-thread score of 4219 give it a documented performance profile that places it at the 87th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, confirming that it sits in a dense, competitive performance tier.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark entries and an average benchmark score of 0, so the database provides no measured performance evidence for it. Its 10-core, 20-thread configuration and 5.00 GHz boost clock suggest it is designed for parallel throughput, but without scores, no performance claim can be verified.

The Intel part is the clear choice for builders who want verified performance data and a desktop platform with PCIe Gen 5 support, 24 MB of L3 cache, and DDR4 or DDR5 memory flexibility. Its 65 W TDP and Socket 1700 mount suit conventional desktop builds. The AMD part is the choice for embedded or mobile designs that prioritize a 28 W power envelope, LPDDR5X memory support, and a smaller 4 nm process, but buyers should note that the database contains no benchmark results to quantify its performance. The Intel processor also carries a launch MSRP of $232, while the AMD processor has no listed price.
