AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data for these two processors paints a clear picture of two very different market positions. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is a 10-core, 20-thread mobile processor built on a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel Core 3 201E is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop chip on Intel's 10 nm node. The recorded data shows that the Intel part holds a significant advantage in the available benchmark suite, with wins across all measured workloads.

The Intel Core 3 201E records a percentile ranking of 73 against all CPUs in the database, placing it well above the AMD part's 50th percentile. The average benchmark score for the Intel chip is 19,056, while the AMD processor shows an average score of 0 in the database, indicating a lack of recorded benchmark results for the Ryzen AI Embedded part. This absence of data for the AMD processor means that every head-to-head comparison must rely on the Intel part's absolute scores and its positioning relative to its nearest rivals.

The Intel Core 3 201E wins in every category where measurements exist. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it posts 12,613 points, and in single-core it reaches 1,780. The PassMark suite shows strong results across the board: integer math at 43,894, floating point math at 33,260, extended instructions at 11,035, and multithread performance at 14,839. Data compression reaches 164,160, encryption scores 8,931, and physics simulation records 1,141. The single-thread PassMark score is 3,482, and prime number finding yields 57.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, by contrast, has no benchmark entries in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits at the median of all recorded CPUs, but without specific scores, the data cannot show where it wins. The architecture suggests strengths in power efficiency with its 28 W TDP versus Intel's 60 W, and its 10 cores versus Intel's 4 cores should favor heavily threaded workloads, but the measurements do not confirm this.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in their design philosophies. 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 manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, belongs to the Core 3 generation, and is built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 163 mm².

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part offers 4 cores and 8 threads. This gives the AMD chip a 2.5x thread advantage, which should translate to better multi-threaded throughput if the cores scale well. Clock speeds tell a different story: the Intel chip has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost of 4.80 GHz, while the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. The AMD chip has the higher peak frequency by 0.20 GHz, but the Intel chip runs much faster at base.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 per core for a total of 10 MB, while the Intel chip has 1.25 MB per core for a total of 5 MB across its 4 cores. L3 cache favors AMD at 16 MB versus Intel's 12 MB shared. The AMD part's larger L2 and L3 caches should help with data-heavy workloads.

Memory support shows a split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel access and 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. The AMD chip's higher memory bandwidth, combined with its larger cache, gives it an edge in memory-sensitive applications.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part targets the mobile segment on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $134 and carries part number SRVTR, while the AMD part has no recorded launch price.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, a direct numeric comparison is impossible. The data shows only the Intel Core 3 201E's absolute results, which can be contextualized against its nearest rivals.

The Intel Core 3 201E posts an average benchmark score of 19,056. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, scores 19,047, a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core i5-12400F scores 19,039, putting the Core 3 201E ahead by 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-1335U comes in at 18,982, a 0.4 percent gap, and the AMD EPYC 7773X scores 18,979, also a 0.4 percent gap. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Core 3 201E performs nearly identically to these established parts in the database's aggregate metric.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel chip records 12,613 multi-core and 1,780 single-core. The R20 results show 5,297 multi-core and 747 single-core, while R15 shows 1,271 multi-core and 179 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that scales reasonably across generations of the Cinebench test.

The PassMark results provide additional granularity. Integer math at 43,894 and floating point at 33,260 suggest balanced compute capabilities. Data compression at 164,160 shows strong throughput for archival workloads, while encryption at 8,931 indicates moderate cryptographic performance. Extended instructions score 11,035, which covers SIMD and other specialized instruction paths. The multithread score of 14,839 versus a single-thread score of 3,482 reveals a scaling factor of roughly 4.3x from one thread to all threads, which is consistent with a 4-core, 8-thread part.

The physics score of 1,141 and prime number finding at 57 are lower in absolute terms but represent different workload characteristics. Random string sorting at 17,783 shows solid sorting performance. The data does not include any scores for the AMD part, so the database cannot show how the Ryzen AI Embedded P174i compares on any specific test.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a one-sided picture because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark scores in the database. The Intel Core 3 201E, with an average score of 19,056 and a 73rd percentile ranking, outperforms its nearest rivals by margins between 0 and 0.4 percent. These are tight deltas, indicating that the Core 3 201E sits in a competitive cluster of mid-range processors.

For users selecting between these two specific parts, the data supports the Intel Core 3 201E for any workload where measured performance matters. Its benchmark results show capability across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, as well as the full PassMark suite including integer math, floating point math, encryption, compression, and physics. The Intel chip's 60 W TDP and desktop Socket 1700 form factor make it suitable for always-plugged-in systems where power draw is less critical.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers architectural advantages that the data cannot quantify. Its 10 cores and 20 threads, 16 MB L3 cache, 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 28 W TDP all point to a processor designed for efficiency and multi-threaded throughput. The Zen 5 and Zen 5c core combination, built on TSMC's 4 nm process, suggests modern power management and thermal behavior. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics likely provides stronger GPU performance than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded.

The database shows no wins for the AMD part because no measurements exist for it. The Intel part wins all categories by default of having data. A buyer requiring verified performance should choose the Intel Core 3 201E based on its demonstrated results. A buyer prioritizing efficiency, thread count, and mobile form factor might consider the AMD part, but the data cannot support that choice with numbers.
