Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 150U is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data, so all scored comparisons come from its results. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning its performance profile cannot be quantified against the Intel part here.

For the Intel Core 7 150U, the data shows a strong multi-threaded showing. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8883 and Geekbench multi-core score of 6234 indicate a capable mobile processor for sustained workloads. The single-core Cinebench R23 result of 1875.5 and PassMark single-thread score of 3508 also point to solid responsiveness in lightly threaded tasks.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers structural advantages that are not yet reflected in scores. It has twice the thread count (20 versus 12), a larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 12 MB), and ECC memory support. These features suggest potential wins in memory-intensive or error-sensitive embedded workloads, but without benchmark data, those wins remain speculative.

The Intel part also wins on efficiency in one measurable sense: its TDP is 15 W versus 28 W for the AMD chip, so it should fit into thinner, cooler chassis designs. The AMD chip's higher base clock (2.00 GHz versus 1.80 GHz) and its 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth figure give it theoretical advantages in data throughput, but again, no scores confirm this.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename with a generation labeled "Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c)". This hybrid core arrangement combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores in a single package, which typically allows one set of cores to prioritize performance and another to prioritize efficiency. The process node is 4 nm from TSMC, and the die size is listed at 233 mm².

The Intel Core 7 150U uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-U codename. Its generation is labeled "Core 7 (Raptor Lake-U)". The process node is 10 nm from Intel's own foundry. The Intel part uses a different core layout, with performance and efficient cores, though the exact mix is not specified in the data.

Cache structures differ notably. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip also has 80 KB of L1 per core but 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The larger per-core L2 on the Intel part could help with some localized data access patterns, while the AMD chip has more total L3.

Memory support diverges. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel Core 7 150U supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip has ECC memory support, which the Intel part lacks. Memory bandwidth for the AMD chip is listed at 89.6 GB/s, while no bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part.

PCIe lanes also differ. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). This gives the AMD part more headroom for add-in devices or fast storage expansion.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 7 150U. Additionally, the AMD processor has no benchmark scores recorded at all. This means every benchmark figure in this section belongs to the Intel Core 7 150U alone.

The Intel Core 7 150U posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 8883 and a single-core score of 1875.5. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5248 multi-core and 740 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1505.5 multi-core and 254 single-core. These results place the Intel part at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database.

Geekbench results for the Intel part are 6234 multi-core and 1857 single-core. PassMark tests show a multi-thread score of 14700 and a single-thread score of 3508. In specific PassMark workloads, the Intel chip scores 51057 in integer math, 34405 in floating point math, 158622 in data compression, and 10025 in data encryption. Extended instructions score 8748, physics scores 1012, and random string sorting scores 18269. The find prime numbers test returns a score of 58.

The Intel Core 7 150U's average benchmark score is 17395, placing it at the 71st percentile. Its nearest rivals in the database are all AMD desktop processors. The Ryzen 5 4500 scores 17333, a delta of 0.4% behind. The Ryzen 3 210 also scores 17321 at 0.4% behind. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, which is 0.5% ahead. The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 17507, 0.6% ahead. These margins are small, indicating the Intel part sits in a tightly packed performance cluster.

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no scores, there is no direct comparison to make. The database shows 0 wins for the AMD part and 0 wins for the Intel part in head-to-head tests, reflecting the absence of recorded data rather than any actual performance parity.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core 7 150U is the only processor with measurable performance. Its benchmark results show a balanced mobile chip with strong single-thread and multi-thread scores. The 71st percentile ranking and the tight margins against its nearest rivals (all within 0.6% of its average score) indicate consistent, mid-tier performance for a wide range of mobile tasks.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i cannot be evaluated on performance data because none exists in the database. What the data does show is a processor designed for a different role. The 20 threads, 16 MB of L3 cache, ECC memory support, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth point toward embedded and industrial applications where data integrity and throughput matter more than raw speed in consumer benchmarks. The 4 nm TSMC process and 28 W TDP also suggest a chip built for sustained operation in constrained thermal environments.

A buyer needing immediate, verified performance numbers should look at the Intel Core 7 150U. Its benchmark scores cover rendering, integer math, encryption, and compression tasks, and they are all recorded in the database. The AMD part is a placeholder for future data, with structural features that look promising for embedded use but no confirmed scores to back them up.

The choice depends on whether the workload requires ECC memory and higher thread counts, which only the AMD chip offers, or whether verified performance across a wide range of tasks is the priority, which only the Intel chip provides. The Intel part also fits into lower-power designs at 15 W, while the AMD chip needs more cooling at 28 W. For now, the Intel Core 7 150U is the only one of the two with a proven track record in the database.
