AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 265F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between these two processors, with the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F dominating the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F in every measurable benchmark category. The Intel chip holds an average benchmark score of 64438, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. This is not a close contest; it is a category mismatch.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F delivers 4231 points in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 17631 points in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 41980 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Its single-core results are equally strong: 597 in R15, 2488 in R20, and 5926 in R23. The AMD processor has no corresponding scores in the database, meaning there is no direct head-to-head data to compare. However, the absence of any benchmark entries for the AMD chip, combined with its 50th percentile ranking, indicates that the database has not validated its performance through the same standardized tests.

In Passmark tests, the Intel chip shows a multi-thread score of 49410 and a single-thread score of 4750. Its integer math score is 138078, floating point math is 173855, and extended instructions reach 39235. Data compression scores 507018, data encryption scores 39468, and random string sorting scores 62439. Find prime numbers registers 416, and physics scores 3172. Again, the AMD chip has none of these values recorded.

The nearest rivals to the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 at 64640 average score, a 0.3% deficit, the AMD EPYC 4464P at 64823, a 0.6% deficit, the AMD EPYC 7343 at 64202, a 0.4% advantage, and the Intel Core i9-13900KS at 64051, a 0.6% advantage. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, showing that the 265F sits squarely in a competitive cluster of high-end CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no rivals listed, reinforcing its lack of measurable presence in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on a Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F uses the Arrow Lake architecture, specifically Arrow Lake-S, part of the Core Ultra Series 2 generation. It is built on a 3 nm process, also by TSMC, with a larger die at 243 mm² and 17,800 million transistors.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel chip has 20 cores and 20 threads. Both support 20 threads, but the Intel chip achieves this with twice the physical core count, meaning it relies on a 1:1 thread mapping rather than simultaneous multithreading. The AMD chip uses a 1:2 core-to-thread ratio, typical of Zen 5 designs with SMT.

Cache hierarchies diverge sharply. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip thus has more than double the L3 capacity and significantly larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X across a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC memory support. The Intel chip supports only DDR5, also dual-channel, with a higher memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s and no ECC support. PCIe capabilities favor Intel: the AMD chip offers Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel chip offers Gen 5 with 20 CPU-only lanes.

Clock speeds favor Intel in both base and boost. The AMD chip runs a 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. The Intel chip runs a 2.40 GHz base and 5.30 GHz boost. Power envelopes are not comparable: the AMD chip is rated at 28 W TDP, the Intel chip at 65 W TDP, reflecting their different market segments. The AMD chip targets mobile with integrated Radeon 880M graphics, while the Intel chip targets desktop with no integrated graphics.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 wins in mobility and integration. It is a 28 W part designed for laptops and embedded systems, with a smaller die, lower power draw, and integrated Radeon 880M graphics. It supports LPDDR5X memory and ECC, features absent from the Intel part. Its 4 nm process and dual Zen 5 / Zen 5c core types allow flexible scheduling between performance and efficiency cores, a trait suited to battery-conscious workloads. It also supports dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, sufficient for embedded AI tasks.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F wins in raw compute. Its 20 physical cores, 30 MB of L3 cache, and 5.30 GHz boost clock deliver benchmark scores that place it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 41980 and Passmark multi-thread score of 49410 indicate strong throughput for rendering, compilation, and scientific simulation. Its single-core scores, 5926 in Cinebench R23 and 4750 in Passmark, show it also handles latency-sensitive single-threaded workloads effectively.

The Intel chip wins in memory bandwidth at 102.4 GB/s, a 14% advantage over the AMD chip's 89.6 GB/s. It also wins in PCIe connectivity with Gen 5 and 20 lanes versus Gen 4 and 16 lanes, benefiting storage and GPU expansion. The Intel chip supports DDR5 only, but that is the faster memory type in this comparison. The AMD chip offers ECC support, which the Intel chip does not, making the AMD part more suitable for error-sensitive embedded deployments.

The Verdict

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is the clear performance winner. Its benchmark scores, which place it in the 93rd percentile, are backed by a larger core count, larger cache, higher clocks, faster memory bandwidth, and broader PCIe connectivity. It is a desktop processor designed for throughput, and the recorded data confirms it delivers on that design.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 is a mobile and embedded processor. Its 28 W TDP, integrated graphics, LPDDR5X support, and ECC capability make it a fit for compact systems where power efficiency and reliability matter more than peak compute. Its lack of benchmark scores in the database means there is no evidence of its performance relative to the Intel chip, but its architectural profile indicates a different purpose entirely.

For users needing maximum multi-core and single-core performance, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is the only choice with recorded data. For users needing an embedded, low-power processor with graphics and ECC support, the AMD chip offers features the Intel chip cannot provide. The data does not support a direct performance comparison, so the selection hinges on intended use case: raw compute versus integrated efficiency.
