Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 5 130UL. The wins counter shows zero wins for the AMD chip and zero wins for the Intel chip. The average benchmark score for both processors is zero, and the nearest rivals list is empty for both. The percentile ranking against all CPUs is identical at the 50th percentile for both chips.

Because no benchmark scores exist in the database, there are no exact numbers to compare for single-thread performance, multi-thread performance, or integrated graphics performance. The only quantifiable differences come from the specification fields. The AMD chip has a 0.40 GHz higher base clock and a 0.30 GHz higher boost clock. The AMD chip has 8 more threads. The AMD chip has 4 MB more L3 cache. The AMD chip has 8 more PCIe Gen 4 lanes. The AMD chip has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip has no recorded memory bandwidth. The Intel chip has a 13 W lower TDP. The Intel chip has 0.25 MB more L2 cache per core. The Intel chip supports DDR4 in addition to DDR5.

The data shows that the AMD chip leads in raw specification categories that typically influence multi-threaded performance: thread count, clock speeds, L3 cache size, and memory bandwidth. The Intel chip leads in power efficiency categories: lower TDP and support for the older DDR4 memory standard. Without benchmark results, these specification differences cannot be translated into performance deltas.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins in specifications that favor multi-threaded workloads. Its 20 threads versus 12 threads gives it a clear advantage in heavily parallel tasks. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock versus 4.70 GHz gives it a clock speed advantage. Its 16 MB L3 cache versus 12 MB gives it more cache for data-heavy workloads. Its 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, recorded in the database, supports high-throughput memory access. Its support for LPDDR5X memory and ECC memory makes it suitable for embedded and reliability-focused applications. Its 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes allow for more expansion devices. Its 4 nm process node from TSMC indicates a newer manufacturing technology. Its Radeon 880M integrated graphics and mobile market segment classification suggest it is designed for mobile embedded systems.

The Intel Core 5 130UL wins in specifications that favor power efficiency and compatibility. Its 15 W TDP versus 28 W means it draws less power under the recorded thermal design envelope. Its support for DDR4 memory allows it to work with older, more widely available memory modules. Its 1.25 MB L2 cache per core versus 1 MB gives it a slight per-core cache advantage. Its desktop market segment classification and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility position it for traditional desktop builds. Its Iris Xe Graphics 80EU integrated graphics provide a different graphics option. Its earlier release date in 2024 means it has been available longer than the 2026 AMD part.

The database does not record any benchmark wins for either processor, so the use-case split relies entirely on recorded specifications. The AMD chip is the choice for workloads that need more threads, higher clocks, larger L3, ECC memory, and more PCIe lanes. The Intel chip is the choice for workloads that need lower power draw, DDR4 compatibility, and a desktop form factor. Both processors sit at the 50th percentile in the database, indicating they are mid-pack relative to all CPUs.
