AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 5 223PTE contains no head-to-head benchmark entries, no wins for either processor, and no average benchmark scores. Both processors hold a 50th percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, and both show an average benchmark score of zero. Without measured performance results, the quantitative comparison must rely entirely on the architectural specifications recorded for each part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE uses 8 cores and 16 threads. That gives the AMD part a 2-core and 4-thread advantage. In workloads that scale with core count, the AMD processor has a structural lead of 25% in cores and 25% in threads. The Intel part counters with higher clock rates. Intel lists a base clock of 2.30 GHz against AMD's 2.00 GHz, a difference of 0.30 GHz. On boost, Intel reaches 5.40 GHz versus AMD's 5.00 GHz, a 0.40 GHz advantage. These clock deltas suggest the Intel processor may hold an edge in lightly threaded tasks where single-core frequency dominates.

The cache hierarchy differs noticeably. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 allocation diverges: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 2 MB per core. At 8 cores, the Intel processor carries 16 MB of L2 aggregate, while the AMD processor with 10 cores carries 10 MB of L2 aggregate. For L3, Intel lists 24 MB shared, and AMD lists 16 MB. The Intel part therefore has 50% more L3 capacity and double the per-core L2 allocation. In memory-latency-sensitive workloads, the Intel processor has a larger on-die data reservoir.

Memory bandwidth is identical in the recorded data. Both processors support dual-channel memory and both show 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Memory type support differs, with AMD supporting DDR5 and LPDDR5X, and Intel supporting DDR4 and DDR5. Both support ECC memory. The platform capabilities diverge on PCIe generation: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part offers double the per-lane data rate for expansion devices.

The manufacturing process separates the two significantly. AMD uses a 4 nm node at TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm node at Intel. The AMD processor has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded. The smaller process node gives AMD a transistor-density advantage, although no transistor counts are recorded for either part.

Thermal design power differs by 17 watts. The AMD processor is rated at 28 W, and the Intel processor at 45 W. The AMD part draws 37.8% less thermal budget, which matters for embedded system cooling and chassis design. The Intel processor's higher TDP aligns with its higher clock rates and larger cache.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins in thread-heavy parallel workloads. Its 10 cores and 20 threads exceed the Intel part's 8 cores and 16 threads. Any benchmark that scales across physical cores, such as compilation, rendering, or virtualized workloads, gives the AMD processor a structural advantage. The 4 nm TSMC process also suggests higher energy efficiency per operation, and the 28 W TDP confirms a lower thermal envelope. The AMD processor's support for LPDDR5X memory extends its suitability to low-power, compact embedded designs where memory power matters.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins in single-threaded and frequency-sensitive scenarios. Its base clock of 2.30 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz exceed the AMD part's 2.00 GHz and 5.00 GHz. The larger L2 allocation of 2 MB per core and the 24 MB shared L3 give Intel an advantage in workloads with high data reuse and low memory-level parallelism. The PCIe Gen 5 interface provides twice the bandwidth per lane of AMD's Gen 4 for storage or accelerator connectivity. The Intel part also supports DDR4 memory, which may simplify design for systems with existing DDR4 infrastructure.

In memory-bandwidth-bound tasks, the two processors are equivalent. Both record 89.6 GB/s and dual-channel support. Neither has a measurable advantage in pure bandwidth. For ECC-dependent reliability scenarios, both support ECC memory, so neither wins on that criterion.

The market segments differ in the recorded data. AMD lists the P174i as Mobile, while Intel lists the Core 5 223PTE as Desktop. The AMD processor's 28 W TDP and LPDDR5X support point toward fanless or battery-powered embedded systems. The Intel processor's 45 W TDP and Socket 1700 point toward always-connected desktop-class embedded appliances. The production status for both is Active, and both are recent releases: AMD dated 2026-02-28, Intel dated 2026-03-08.
