AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 7 160UL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database contains recorded scores for the Intel Core 7 160UL, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries. The Intel part therefore holds every measured performance win by default. The Core 7 160UL posts a multi-thread score of 9386 in Cinebench R23, a single-thread score of 1325 in the same test, and an average benchmark score of 14232. The AMD entry shows a percentile of 50 against all CPUs, whereas the Intel part sits at the 69th percentile, indicating that the Core 7 160UL places higher in the overall distribution of recorded processors.

The use-case split is straightforward based on the available data. The Intel Core 7 160UL delivers measurable results across rendering, encryption, compression, and math workloads. Its Passmark multi-thread score of 11043 and integer math score of 47515 show strength in parallel integer tasks. The floating-point math score of 25670 and extended instructions score of 5832 indicate capability in scientific and vectorized workloads. Data compression scores 108953, while data encryption scores 7146. For the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, no benchmark results exist in the database, so no workload-specific wins can be attributed to it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing and design lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename with a generation listed as Ryzen AI Embedded (Zen 5 / Zen 5c), fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 7 160UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD chip carries a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

Core and thread counts differ. Both have 10 cores, but the AMD part supports 20 threads, while the Intel part supports 12 threads, indicating a hybrid core arrangement on the Intel side. Cache layouts differ as well. Both share 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 on the AMD side and the larger per-core L2 on the Intel side suggest different cache hierarchies for different workload patterns.

Memory support diverges. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel operation and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, plus ECC memory support. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel operation, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded and ECC is not supported. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well, with the AMD part using Radeon 880M and the Intel part using Iris Xe Graphics 96EU.

Clock speeds show a contrast. The AMD base clock is 2.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel base clock is 1.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part has a higher peak clock, while the AMD part has a higher base clock. Thermal design power is lower on the Intel side at 15 W, compared to 28 W for the AMD part. Socket types are not interchangeable: AMD Socket FP8 for the AMD part, Intel Socket 1700 for the Intel part. The market segment also differs, with the AMD part listed as Mobile and the Intel part as Desktop.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only head-to-head comparison available comes from the recorded Intel scores against the empty AMD record. The Intel Core 7 160UL shows a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 9386 and a single-core score of 1325. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 3942 and the single-core score is 556. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 946 and the single-core score is 133. These render scores indicate the Intel part can handle both parallel and single-threaded render workloads, with the multi-core advantage being more pronounced.

In Passmark tests, the Intel part scores 11043 in multi-thread, 3391 in single-thread, 47515 in integer math, 25670 in floating-point math, 5832 in extended instructions, 108953 in data compression, 7146 in data encryption, 11843 in random string sorting, 819 in physics, and 50 in find prime numbers. The data compression score is the highest among the recorded Passmark tests, showing strong performance in compression-oriented tasks. The integer math score is nearly double the floating-point math score, indicating a skew toward integer-heavy workloads. The extended instructions score of 5832 suggests moderate SIMD capability relative to the integer and floating-point scores.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no measured scores in the database, so the delta against the Intel part cannot be computed. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 14232 places it near several rivals. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, a delta of -0.3 percent relative to the Intel part. The Intel Core i5-10400F scores 14185, a delta of 0.3 percent. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, a delta of 0.5 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 3501U scores 14320, a delta of -0.6 percent. These deltas show the Core 7 160UL sits within a narrow band of roughly one percent of four other processors, indicating that its average score is tightly clustered with those parts. The 69th percentile ranking versus all CPUs reinforces that the Intel part sits above the median in the database distribution.

The absence of AMD benchmark data means no direct performance comparison can be made. The database records show the Intel part as the only one with measured results, and its scores span a range of workloads from rendering to encryption. The AMD part's specifications, such as 20 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, 16 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, suggest potential in multi-threaded and memory-sensitive tasks, but no recorded measurements confirm that potential. The percentile gap, 50 for AMD versus 69 for Intel, is based on the available data and reflects the lack of AMD benchmark entries.
