AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Processor U302L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct benchmark scores for either processor, so a numerical head-to-head comparison cannot be constructed from measured performance data. Both CPUs register an average benchmark score of zero and hold identical percentile rankings at 50 percent against all CPUs in the database. This means neither part has published performance results that can be cited to establish a winner in any workload category.

What can be established from the database entries is the structural potential each processor brings to a comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 doubles the core count of the Intel Processor U302L, offering 10 cores and 20 threads against 5 cores and 6 threads. The AMD part also reaches a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, more than double the Intel part's 2.40 GHz ceiling. These figures suggest the AMD processor carries a substantial theoretical advantage in multi-threaded tasks, though no benchmark output exists to confirm that expectation.

The Intel Processor U302L counters with a much lower thermal design point. Its 15 W TDP compares favorably to the AMD part's 28 W TDP, indicating the Intel chip is designed for a lower power envelope. This does not translate into a performance win in any measured category, as the database lists no wins for either processor. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, the wins counters for both items sit at zero, and the nearest rivals fields contain no entries. The data simply does not provide a basis for quantifying performance differences.

Readers should interpret the absence of scores as a limitation of the current database record, not as evidence of parity. The specification gap in core count, thread count, and clock speeds is large enough that any future benchmark data would likely separate the two clearly. Until such data is recorded, the only honest statement is that no head-to-head benchmark results exist for these two processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. 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 is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Processor U302L uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, belongs to the Intel Processor generation on Raptor Lake cores, and is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node gap is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which typically translates into meaningful differences in transistor density and power efficiency.

Cache configurations differ in structure. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also uses 80 KB of L1 per core but provides 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor's larger L3 pool of 16 MB versus 10 MB gives it more shared cache capacity, while the Intel processor offers slightly more L2 per core.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. The AMD part also includes ECC memory support, while the Intel part does not.

PCI Express connectivity differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. This gives the AMD part twice the CPU-attached PCIe lane count.

Integrated graphics also separate the two. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel Processor U302L uses UHD Graphics 80EU. The database provides no benchmark scores for either graphics solution.

The Intel part has a part number recorded as SRPKGQ5CX, while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown. The AMD processor does not have a launch MSRP recorded, whereas the Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $285. The multipliers on both processors are locked.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark scores, the wins must be assessed from architectural characteristics rather than measured performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 presents a clear advantage in raw compute resources. Its 10 cores and 20 threads double the core count and more than triple the thread count of the Intel Processor U302L. The 5.00 GHz boost clock gives it a substantial clock-speed margin over the Intel part's 2.40 GHz boost. For workloads that scale with core count, thread count, or clock frequency, the AMD processor holds the structural edge.

The AMD processor also wins on memory bandwidth, with a recorded 89.6 GB/s figure versus no recorded figure for the Intel part. Its 16 MB of L3 cache exceeds the Intel part's 10 MB. ECC memory support is present on the AMD side and absent on the Intel side, which matters for reliability-sensitive applications. The 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes on the AMD part double the Intel part's 8 lanes, supporting more expansion capacity.

The Intel Processor U302L wins on power efficiency as measured by TDP. Its 15 W rating is nearly half the AMD part's 28 W rating. For thermally constrained or battery-powered mobile designs, the lower TDP is an advantage. The Intel part also supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, which may offer compatibility with existing memory infrastructure. Its L2 cache per core is slightly larger at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB.

The Intel part's launch MSRP of $285 is recorded in the database, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP listed. The Intel processor also has a documented release date in 2024, while the AMD processor's release date is recorded as 2026. The production status for both is listed as active.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear structural assessment. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 dominates the Intel Processor U302L in core count, thread count, boost clock, L3 cache capacity, memory bandwidth, PCIe lane count, and ECC support. Its 10 cores and 20 threads against 5 cores and 6 threads represent a doubling of cores and more than a tripling of threads. The 5.00 GHz boost clock is more than double the Intel part's 2.40 GHz. The 16 MB L3 cache exceeds the Intel part's 10 MB. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is recorded for the AMD part and absent for the Intel part. The AMD processor's 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes double the Intel part's 8 lanes.

The Intel Processor U302L holds advantages in power consumption and memory compatibility. Its 15 W TDP is nearly half the AMD part's 28 W TDP, making it the better fit for power-constrained mobile designs. Its support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory provides flexibility that the AMD part's DDR5 and LPDDR5X support does not. Its launch MSRP of $285 is recorded, while the AMD part has no such figure.

For workloads that prioritize compute throughput, multi-threaded scaling, high clock speeds, memory bandwidth, or expansion capability, the data points to the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 as the stronger choice. For designs where power draw is the primary constraint and DDR4 compatibility is desirable, the Intel Processor U302L presents a lower-power alternative. Neither processor has measured benchmark scores in the database, so these conclusions rest entirely on recorded specifications rather than performance results. The percentile ranking of 50 for both parts against all CPUs reflects the absence of benchmark data rather than equivalent performance.
