AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions these two processors for entirely different workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is a mobile-oriented, 10-core, 20-thread part built for efficiency and density, while the Intel Core 5 213PTE is a desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, focused on raw throughput. The Intel chip holds a decisive edge in every benchmark category where scores are recorded, placing at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, compared to the AMD part's 50th percentile. The Intel Core 5 213PTE is the clear choice for users prioritizing multi-threaded compute, heavy integer math, and compression workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i suits a different niche: low-power, embedded, or mobile designs where its 28 W TDP and dual-channel LPDDR5X support are more relevant than peak benchmark scores. The data shows no scenario where the AMD part wins a measured benchmark, so the verdict hinges on platform priorities rather than performance parity.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in manufacturing and design philosophy. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses TSMC's 4 nm process node, with a die size of 233 mm². Its codename is Gorgon Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It provides 10 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The integrated graphics are Radeon 880M. Memory support covers DDR5 and LPDDR5X, running on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. The socket is AMD Socket FP8, and PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 16 lanes available to the CPU.

The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses Intel's 10 nm process node, with the codename Bartlett Lake. It provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, on a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. The socket is Intel Socket 1700, and PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The Intel part has a TDP of 45 W, while the AMD part has a TDP of 28 W, indicating a lower thermal envelope for the AMD chip. The Intel processor carries a launch MSRP of $221.

Where Each One Wins

Across all recorded benchmarks, the Intel Core 5 213PTE wins every single test. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded wins in the database, meaning the performance comparison is one-sided. The Intel part excels in multi-threaded workloads, as shown by Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multi-core scores of 2192, 9135, and 21751, respectively. It also dominates in PassMark's integer math (93109), floating-point math (71722), and data compression (261083) tests. The single-thread results are equally strong, with Cinebench R15 single-core at 309, R20 single-core at 1289, R23 single-core at 3070, and PassMark single-thread at 3718.

The AMD part's advantages are not reflected in benchmark scores but in its platform characteristics. Its 28 W TDP is lower than the Intel's 45 W TDP, making it suitable for thermally constrained designs. The AMD chip also supports LPDDR5X memory, which is common in mobile and embedded systems, and its Radeon 880M integrated graphics are more capable than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded. The AMD part's 10-core, 20-thread configuration provides more parallelism than the Intel's 8-core, 16-thread layout, but the Intel part's higher boost clock and larger L3 cache contribute to its benchmark superiority.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 213PTE holds a commanding lead in every recorded benchmark, and the margins are substantial. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Intel scores 2192, while the AMD part has no recorded score, making any direct numerical comparison impossible from the database. However, the Intel's percentile ranking of 83 versus the AMD's 50 indicates a significant gap in overall performance.

Looking at the Intel's nearest rivals provides context for its standing. The Intel Core 5 213PTE has an average benchmark score of 32924. Its closest competitor, the Intel Core i7-12700, scores 32942, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the Core 5 213PTE is essentially tied with that older i7. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812, a delta of 0.3%, placing the Core 5 213PTE slightly ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D scores 33079, a delta of -0.5%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G scores 33089, a delta of -0.5%, meaning the Core 5 213PTE trails those two by half a percent.

The Intel's single-thread performance is strong, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3070 and PassMark single-thread at 3718. The multi-threaded results are even more impressive, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 21751 and PassMark multi-thread at 25590. The PassMark suite shows specific strengths: data encryption at 14413, extended instructions at 16146, prime number finding at 157, and random string sorting at 30106. The physics test scores 2199.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded benchmarks in the database, so its actual scores cannot be compared numerically. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in head-to-head benchmarks, as no direct comparative tests are listed. The Intel's average benchmark score of 32924 and its 83rd percentile ranking are the only recorded performance indicators, while the AMD's average score is zero and its percentile is 50, reflecting the absence of measured data.

The Intel's 45 W TDP is higher than the AMD's 28 W TDP, which may explain the performance disparity in sustained workloads. The Intel's larger 24 MB L3 cache and higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz contribute to its benchmark dominance. The AMD's 10-core configuration offers more threads, but the lack of recorded scores means the database cannot confirm any advantage in parallel applications. The Intel's memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s is lower than the AMD's 89.6 GB/s, yet the Intel still outperforms in all recorded tests, suggesting that cache hierarchy and clock speed are more decisive factors in these workloads.

The Intel's PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes provides a bandwidth advantage over the AMD's Gen 4 with 16 lanes, which matters for high-throughput peripherals. The AMD's Radeon 880M integrated graphics are likely more powerful than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, but no graphics benchmarks are recorded. The AMD's support for LPDDR5X memory and its smaller process node of 4 nm versus Intel's 10 nm indicate a more modern fabrication, yet this does not translate into benchmark wins in the available data. The Intel's launch MSRP of $221 is the only pricing information in the database, and the AMD has no recorded MSRP, so a direct cost comparison is not possible.
