AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core 3 305 has a full suite of 17 recorded test scores. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most workloads. The analysis must therefore rely on the Intel part’s absolute scores and its position among its nearest rivals, while the AMD part can only be assessed through its architectural specifications.

For the Intel Core 3 305, the multi-threaded results show a clear strength. In Cinebench R23, it records a multicore score of 13,123 points. Its Cinebench R20 multicore result reaches 5,511 points, and the older Cinebench R15 multicore test yields 1,322 points. These figures place the chip comfortably ahead of its closest database rivals. Against the Intel Core i3-14100, which posts an average score of 18,318, the Core 3 305 trails by a marginal 0.1 percent. The Intel Core 5 330, with an average score of 18,345, sits 0.2 percent ahead. Even the Intel Core 7 360, scoring 18,374, leads by only 0.4 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E, at 18,230, is the only rival the Core 3 305 beats, and it does so by 0.4 percent.

Single-thread performance on the Intel part follows a similar pattern. The Cinebench R23 single-core score is 1,852 points. Cinebench R20 single-core records 777 points, and Cinebench R15 single-core posts 186 points. In the Passmark suite, the single-thread test delivers 3,977 points. These results indicate a competitive single-core showing, consistent with the narrow deltas against the rival processors listed above.

The Passmark sub-tests provide a broader view of the Intel chip’s capabilities. The multithread score of 15,439 points is strong for a mobile processor. Data compression reaches 146,857 points, which is a substantial result. Data encryption records 11,019 points, while extended instructions score 13,543 points. The floating-point math test yields 42,284 points, and integer math posts 32,295 points. Random string sorting delivers 17,623 points. The physics test records 1,233 points, and the find prime numbers test scores 115 points. These varied results show a processor that handles computational workloads effectively, though the prime number test suggests relative weakness in that specific algorithm.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark data in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 among all CPUs is recorded, but the average benchmark score is zero. This absence of measured results means no head-to-head wins can be attributed to either side. The wins counter shows zero for both processors. The data simply does not contain any comparative benchmark outcomes for this pair.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 3 305 is the only one of the two processors with recorded performance measurements. Its average benchmark score of 18,302 points places it in the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. This is a significant ranking. The AMD part sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure is not accompanied by any actual test scores, making it a placeholder rather than a measured result.

For users selecting between these two mobile processors, the Intel part offers verified performance data across multiple test suites. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-14100, is essentially tied with it, trailing by only 0.1 percent. The Core 5 330 and Core 7 360 are also within 0.4 percent, meaning the Core 3 305 delivers performance nearly identical to those higher-tier parts. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E is the only rival it clearly outpaces, by 0.4 percent.

The AMD part, lacking any benchmark scores, cannot be verified against the Intel chip. Its architectural specifications suggest capability, but the database contains no evidence of its measured performance. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the Intel Core 3 305 is the processor with demonstrated results, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i remains unmeasured in this database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 305 wins in every benchmark category where data exists. This is not a matter of selective strength; it is the only participant with recorded scores. In Cinebench tests, it shows strong multicore scaling. The R23 multicore score of 13,123 points versus the R15 multicore result of 1,322 points indicates consistent performance gains across newer test versions. Single-core results are equally consistent, with R23 single-core at 1,852 points and R15 single-core at 186 points.

In Passmark tests, the Intel part shows particular strength in data compression with 146,857 points. Floating-point math at 42,284 points and integer math at 32,295 points demonstrate solid arithmetic capability. The multithread score of 15,439 points confirms its ability to handle parallel workloads. The single-thread score of 3,977 points aligns with its Cinebench single-core results.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark wins in any category because no test scores are recorded. Its only quantitative markers are architectural: 10 cores, 20 threads, a 2.00 GHz base clock, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. These specifications cannot be translated into performance outcomes without measured data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, which uses a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 4 nm process node, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 3 generation. Intel fabricates it on a 3 nm process node, and no die size is recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ notably. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a total of 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has a single L1 cache of 192 KB, an L2 cache of 2.5 MB, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. These structures reflect the different core counts and design philosophies.

Memory support is similar in type but not in configuration. Both processors support DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory. The AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part uses a single-channel memory bus with a bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. ECC memory is supported by the AMD processor but not by the Intel processor.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU only. Integrated graphics solutions are distinct: the AMD part uses a Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the most significant difference. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has 10 cores and 20 threads. The Intel Core 3 305 has 6 cores and 6 threads. This gives the AMD part a 4-core and 14-thread advantage.

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The AMD part runs higher at both ends of the frequency range.

Thermal design power is another differentiator. The AMD part is rated at 28 watts. The Intel part is rated at 15 watts. This indicates the Intel chip is designed for lower power consumption.

The sockets are incompatible. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516. Process nodes differ, with the AMD part on 4 nm from TSMC and the Intel part on 3 nm from Intel. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $309, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part has a part number of SAE3L, while the AMD part has an unknown part number.

Memory bandwidth favors the AMD part at 89.6 GB/s versus 59.7 GB/s for the Intel part. The memory bus width differs accordingly, dual-channel versus single-channel. ECC support is present on the AMD part but absent on the Intel part. PCIe lane count favors the AMD part at 16 lanes versus 6 lanes for the Intel part. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. Both are classified as mobile market segments and both have active production status. Release dates differ by roughly two months, with the AMD part dated 2026-02-28 and the Intel part dated 2026-04-15.
