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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 3 100U. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and the wins counters for both processors are zero. Consequently, a side-by-side comparison of identical workloads cannot be constructed from the recorded data. However, the Intel Core 3 100U has extensive standalone benchmark scores, while the AMD part currently lacks any recorded benchmark measurements.

For the Intel Core 3 100U, the available data shows a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10624 and a single-core score of 1499. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 4462 and the single-core result is 629. The older Cinebench R15 test yields 1070 multi-core and 150 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 12522, a single-thread score of 3506, integer math at 39580, floating point math at 28322, and extended instructions at 7894. Data compression reaches 136497, while data encryption sits at 8128. Random string sorting scores 15191, physics processing scores 876, and prime number finding scores 52.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs, while the Intel Core 3 100U ranks in the 70th percentile. The Intel processor's average benchmark score is 16148. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-10850H with an average score of 16204, which is 0.3 percent higher, and the Intel Core i5-10600KF at 16228, 0.5 percent higher. The Intel Core i7-1260U scores 16320, 1.1 percent higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H scores 16341, 1.2 percent higher. These deltas indicate the Core 3 100U sits slightly below these four comparable processors, with the smallest gap being 0.3 percent and the largest being 1.2 percent.

Because the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores, its relative performance cannot be quantified against the Intel part or any other processor. The data shows the Intel Core 3 100U is a measured quantity, whereas the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i remains uncharacterized by the database. This asymmetry limits the head-to-head analysis to the Intel processor's internal strengths across different workload types.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename, belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and is fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core 3 100U uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-U, and is built on a 10 nm process by Intel. The process node difference indicates a generational and manufacturing gap between the two.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part provides 6 cores and 8 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 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The AMD part's higher thread count and boost clock suggest a design aimed at heavier parallel workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this.

Cache configurations also differ. Both processors list 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 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor's larger total L3 capacity gives it more shared cache for data-intensive tasks. Die size is recorded for the AMD part at 233 mm², while the Intel part has no die size listed.

Memory support varies. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory support is present on the AMD part and absent on the Intel part. This makes the AMD processor more suitable for error-sensitive workloads.

PCIe connectivity differs. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The AMD processor offers double the PCIe lanes, which can support more expansion devices or higher bandwidth peripherals. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses a Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 64EU. The AMD processor is marked as belonging to the Ryzen AI Embedded series, indicating an embedded-focused positioning, whereas the Intel part belongs to the standard Core 3 series.

Thermal design power differs notably. The AMD processor has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel processor has a TDP of 15 watts. The Intel part consumes less power by specification, which may influence thermal design and battery life in mobile systems. The AMD part's higher TDP aligns with its higher core count and boost clock.

Socket types are incompatible. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1744. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. Release dates differ by roughly two years, with the Intel part released on January 7, 2024, and the AMD part released on February 28, 2026.

The Verdict

The recorded data permits only a one-sided verdict. The Intel Core 3 100U has a complete set of benchmark scores, a 70th percentile ranking, and an average score of 16148. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark scores, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of zero. The database shows the Intel processor as a fully characterized product with measurable performance across Cinebench and PassMark workloads. The AMD processor lacks any recorded measurements, so its performance cannot be compared directly.

For users selecting based on measured data, the Intel Core 3 100U is the only option with verified results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10624 and single-core score of 1499 provide concrete reference points. Its PassMark multithread score of 12522 and single-thread score of 3506 further characterize its capabilities. The AMD part's architectural advantages, including more cores, higher clocks, a smaller process node, and larger cache, are documented in the specification fields but remain unverified in practice.

The Intel part also has a launch MSRP of $426, which is the only pricing information in the database. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. The Intel processor's nearest rivals are all within 1.2 percent of its average score, indicating it performs in line with established mid-range processors. The AMD processor's nearest rivals list is empty, providing no comparative anchor.
