AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two processors by workload type and platform intent. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 and the Intel Core 7 253PTE share the same core and thread counts, 10 cores and 20 threads, but their benchmark profiles diverge sharply. The Intel part carries a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results, while the AMD entry currently has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. That absence shapes the comparison: every measured performance outcome in this analysis comes from the Intel side, and the AMD side must be evaluated on architecture, cache layout, process node, and platform characteristics rather than executed tests.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE holds the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 34962. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The Intel Core i7-13800H scores 34988, a delta of -0.1 percent, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX scores 35003, also -0.1 percent. The Intel Xeon 6349P sits at 34890, a 0.2 percent delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 150 comes in at 34881, also 0.2 percent. These margins are small enough that the Core 7 253PTE effectively trades leads with several established mobile and desktop parts. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, meaning no measured scores are present to place it against those rivals.

The Intel part wins on single-threaded workloads based on its boost clock of 5.40 GHz and its Cinebench single-core results. The AMD part counters with a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.80 GHz, a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm, and a different cache hierarchy. The Intel part uses 2 MB of L2 per core, double the AMD part's 1 MB per core, and a shared 33 MB L3 cache versus the AMD part's 16 MB L3. For workloads that favor large shared caches, the Intel design has a structural advantage. For workloads that favor newer process technology and lower power draw, the AMD part has the edge on paper.

The Verdict

From the measured data alone, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the only one of the two with recorded performance results. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21276 and a single-core score of 3003, placing it in a competitive band with the Core i7-13800H and Core i9-12900HX. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores in the database, so any verdict on its performance must rest on architectural specifications rather than executed tests.

The Intel part suits workloads that respond to single-thread speed, given its 5.40 GHz boost clock, and workloads that benefit from a large 33 MB shared L3 cache. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3794 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3003 confirm strong per-core capability. The AMD part suits platforms that prioritize lower power, a 28 W TDP versus 45 W, a 4 nm TSMC process, and embedded AI positioning. It also offers a higher base clock, 2.00 GHz versus 1.80 GHz, which can help in sustained all-core loads that do not reach boost states.

The data does not support a blanket performance winner because only one side has measurements. What the data does support is a platform split: the Intel Core 7 253PTE is a desktop-class Socket 1700 part with Gen 5 PCIe and a 45 W TDP, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is a mobile embedded part on AMD Socket FP8 with Gen 4 PCIe and a 28 W TDP. Buyers following the recorded results would select the Intel part for measured throughput and the AMD part for efficiency and embedded integration.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The wins counters show 0 for both sides. However, the Intel Core 7 253PTE has a full suite of 17 recorded scores, and those numbers can be read against its nearest rivals to establish where it lands.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 21276. In R20 multi-core, it scores 8935. In R15 multi-core, it scores 2144. The single-core progression runs 3003 in R23, 1261 in R20, and 302 in R15. These results, taken together, show a processor that scales from single-thread to multi-thread workloads without collapsing, a sign of a balanced 10-core, 20-thread design.

PassMark results reinforce the same pattern. The Intel part scores 119552 in integer math, 67209 in floating-point math, and 17099 in extended instructions. Data compression reaches 275828, while data encryption hits 15500. Random string sorting lands at 28227, and find prime numbers sits at 82. The multi-thread score is 25031, and the single-thread score is 3794. Physics scores 1318.

Against its nearest rivals, the Intel part is effectively tied. The Core i7-13800H is 0.1 percent ahead, the Core i9-12900HX is 0.1 percent ahead, the Xeon 6349P is 0.2 percent behind, and the Ryzen 5 150 is 0.2 percent behind. These deltas are within noise for most workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, with no scores, cannot be placed in this comparison. Its architectural counters, 10 cores, 20 threads, 16 MB L3, and 5.00 GHz boost, are present, but no executed result exists to compare against the Intel part's 21276 R23 multi-core or 3003 R23 single-core.
