AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 7 240H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a clear split between the two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning the comparison rests entirely on the Intel Core 7 240H's measured results and the architectural data for the AMD part. The Intel Core 7 240H holds a decisive advantage in every recorded benchmark category, though the AMD processor's design targets a different set of priorities.

Looking at the benchmark wins, the Intel Core 7 240H dominates all measured workloads. In multi-threaded rendering, it delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15764, which places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H at 31508 (0.1% slower) and the Intel Core i5-13500 at 31510 (0.1% slower), showing the 240H sits in a well-populated performance band. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, by contrast, has a percentile ranking of 50 and no benchmark scores recorded, so its actual winning scenarios cannot be quantified from the available data.

Where the AMD part wins is in efficiency-oriented traits. It carries a 28-watt TDP versus the Intel's 45-watt TDP, and it uses a smaller 4nm process node from TSMC compared to Intel's 10nm node. The AMD chip also enables ECC memory support, a feature absent on the Intel part. For workloads that prioritize power draw, memory reliability, or integration density, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 offers structural advantages even without benchmark numbers to confirm its performance ceiling.

The Intel Core 7 240H wins on raw compute, evidenced by its Passmark multi-thread score of 23975 and single-thread score of 3782. It also shows strength in specialized tasks: data compression at 271774, floating point math at 58905, and integer math at 80396. The AMD part's lack of recorded scores means the database cannot substantiate any workload where it outruns the Intel chip. The wins for the AMD processor are therefore architectural and configurational, not performance-based in the measured sense.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying designs. 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. It features 10 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The process node is 4nm, fabricated by TSMC, and the die size measures 233 mm². Cache allocation includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. Memory support covers DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported. The integrated graphics are Radeon 880M. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 16 lanes for the CPU only. The socket is AMD Socket FP8.

The Intel Core 7 240H uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Core 7 generation based on Raptor Lake Refresh. It also has 10 cores but only 16 threads, indicating a hybrid core configuration typical of Raptor Lake designs. Base clock is 2.50 GHz and boost clock is 5.20 GHz. The process node is 10nm from Intel's own foundry. Cache includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, though no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory is not supported. The integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics with 64 execution units. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 8 lanes for the CPU only. The socket is Intel BGA 1744.

The most significant architectural gaps are the process node (4nm versus 10nm), the thread count (20 versus 16), the L2 cache size (1 MB per core versus 2 MB per core), the L3 cache size (16 MB versus 24 MB), memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s recorded versus no recorded figure), ECC support (yes versus no), PCIe generation (Gen 4 versus Gen 5), and the integrated GPU (Radeon 880M versus Iris Xe 64EU). The AMD part also has a lower TDP at 28 watts versus 45 watts.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark entries, every head-to-head comparison relies on the Intel Core 7 240H's measured scores. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 15764 represents the Intel chip's strongest rendering workload showing. Its single-core R23 score is 1719. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 8562 and single-core is 1208. In Cinebench R15, multi-core lands at 2360 and single-core at 249.

Passmark results further quantify the Intel part's capabilities. The multi-thread score is 23975, and the single-thread score is 3782. Data compression scores 271774, data encryption scores 15155, and extended instructions score 16897. Find prime numbers scores 102, floating point math scores 58905, and integer math scores 80396. Physics scores 1723, and random string sorting scores 28866.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the Intel Core 7 240H's average benchmark score of 31483 puts it nearly level with the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 at 31473 (0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX at 31495 (0% delta). It trails the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H by 0.1% (31508) and the Intel Core i5-13500 by 0.1% (31510). These margins are negligible, indicating the 240H operates within a tight competitive cluster.

The absence of AMD P174 scores means the database cannot show any specific margin of victory for the AMD part. The Intel chip's 82nd percentile ranking against all CPUs, versus the AMD chip's 50th percentile, underscores the gap in recorded performance data. The Intel part's boost clock of 5.20 GHz exceeds the AMD's 5.00 GHz, and its 45-watt TDP allows higher sustained power draw, which typically correlates with higher multi-core throughput.
