AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains benchmark results for the Intel Core 3 100HL, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no individual benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible. However, the database does list the Intel part's performance against its nearest rivals, which provides context for its standing. The Intel Core 3 100HL achieves an average benchmark score of 23545, placing it in the 76th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U, scores 23709, which is 0.7% higher. The Intel Core i5-11500 also scores 23718, again 0.7% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 266V scores 23297, which is 1.1% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H scores 23277, which is 1.2% lower.

Looking at the Intel Core 3 100HL's individual benchmark results, the strongest multi-threaded showing comes from Cinebench R23 multicore with a score of 14948. The single-core result in the same test is 2110. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 6278 and the single-core score is 886. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multicore score of 1506 and a single-core score of 212. PassMark results for the Intel part include a multithread score of 17586, a single-thread score of 3735, integer math at 56308, floating point math at 42108, and extended instructions at 12463. Data encryption scores 11964, data compression scores 202225, random string sorting scores 23223, and find prime numbers scores 48. Physics testing yields 928.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries, the database cannot compute wins for either side. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty. The analysis must therefore rely on the architectural specifications and the Intel part's relative position in the broader database to draw conclusions about expected performance.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i 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. The Intel Core 3 100HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, part of the Core 3 generation, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD part has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 12 threads. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Despite having fewer cores, the Intel part starts at a slightly higher base frequency, but the AMD part reaches a higher maximum boost frequency.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 pool on the AMD side could benefit workloads that rely on shared data, while the larger per-core L2 on the Intel side may help with per-thread working sets.

Memory support shows a split. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel Core 3 100HL supports DDR4 and DDR5, also with a dual-channel bus, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it, and it does not support ECC memory. The AMD part's higher bandwidth specification and ECC capability give it a feature advantage for embedded reliability contexts.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU only. The AMD part offers twice the CPU-attached lanes, which matters for embedded systems with multiple expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ in branding and execution units. The AMD part uses the Radeon 880M. The Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units. The database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either part, so relative graphical performance cannot be quantified.

Power and packaging differ. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts and uses the AMD Socket FP8. The Intel part has a TDP of 45 watts and uses the Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is classified in the mobile market segment, while the Intel part is classified as desktop. The AMD part has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel part has no recorded die size. The AMD part was released on 2026-02-28, while the Intel part was released on 2024-04-07. Both are listed as active in production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's part number is unknown, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core 3 100HL has a clear advantage in available benchmark evidence. It sits in the 76th percentile of all CPUs and has an average score of 23545. Its nearest rivals cluster very closely: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U is only 0.7% faster, the Intel Core i5-11500 is 0.7% faster, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V is 1.1% slower and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is 1.2% slower. This indicates that the Intel part performs competitively within a narrow band around its score.

For single-threaded tasks, the Intel Core 3 100HL records a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2110 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3735. These figures indicate solid per-core performance for a processor with a 4.60 GHz boost clock. For multi-threaded workloads, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 14948 and PassMark multithread score of 17586 show that the 8-core, 12-thread configuration delivers substantial parallel throughput.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i cannot be assigned wins from benchmark data because no scores exist. However, its specifications suggest where it would likely dominate. The 10-core, 20-thread configuration with a 5.00 GHz boost clock should provide strong multi-threaded performance when software can use more than 12 threads. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and support for LPDDR5X could benefit memory-intensive workloads. The 16 MB of L3 cache versus 12 MB on the Intel part may help with cache-sensitive applications. The 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus 8 on the Intel part gives the AMD platform more headroom for storage and accelerator cards.

The Intel part's strengths lie in its proven benchmark presence and its broader memory compatibility. Supporting both DDR4 and DDR5 allows system integrators to choose either memory generation, whereas the AMD part is limited to DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The Intel part's 45-watt TDP suggests it can sustain higher power draw, which may translate to more consistent performance under sustained loads compared to the AMD part's 28-watt envelope.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 3 100HL is a well-measured, competitive processor. Its 76th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 23545 place it in the upper quarter of all CPUs in the database. The closest rivals are within 1.2% either way, meaning the Intel part trades blows with established processors like the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U and the Intel Core i5-11500. For users who need a processor with verified performance numbers, the Intel part delivers a known quantity.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers a different value proposition based on specifications alone. Its 10 cores and 20 threads exceed the Intel part's 8 cores and 12 threads. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock is higher than the Intel part's 4.60 GHz. Its 28-watt TDP is substantially lower than the Intel part's 45 watts, which matters for embedded and mobile applications where thermal and power budgets are tight. The AMD part's ECC memory support and higher PCIe lane count further position it for embedded reliability and expansion.

The choice depends on priorities. Systems that require validated performance data and compatibility with both DDR4 and DDR5 should favor the Intel Core 3 100HL. Systems that prioritize thread count, lower power consumption, ECC memory, and wider PCIe connectivity should favor the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, despite the absence of benchmark scores in the database. The Intel part was released earlier, in 2024, while the AMD part is a later design from 2026, which may explain the missing measurements.
