AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 7 240H Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an asymmetric comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. The Intel Core 7 240H, by contrast, carries a full suite of benchmark results, a percentile rank of 82, and an average score of 31483. The Intel part is the only one of the two with measurable performance data. The AMD processor sits at the 50th percentile across all CPUs, but that figure is not anchored to any test in the database. The Intel Core 7 240H outscores the AMD part by default, not because of a head-to-head win, but because the AMD side has no recorded scores to compare. For any workload where the database contains a measurement, the Intel part is the only option with evidence. The AMD chip remains an active production part with a distinct architecture and feature set, but its absence from the benchmark table means the database cannot support a performance verdict in its favor.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge at the fundamental level of silicon design. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 7 240H uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-H variant from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, built on Intel's 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The process node gap is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm. The AMD chip has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded in the database.

Core counts match at 10 cores each, but thread counts differ. The AMD part supports 20 threads, while the Intel part supports 16 threads. That 4-thread gap comes from simultaneous multithreading behavior: the AMD processor pairs 10 cores with 20 threads, whereas the Intel processor pairs 10 cores with 16 threads, indicating a hybrid arrangement where not all cores contribute two threads. Cache hierarchies also differ. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip has 2 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part holds a clear cache advantage in both L2 per core and total L3 capacity.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel part has no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory support is present on the AMD chip but absent on the Intel chip. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip carries a Radeon 880M, the Intel chip carries Iris Xe Graphics with 64 execution units.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no head-to-head benchmark entries in the database for these two processors. The head-to-head array is empty, and the win counts are zero for both sides. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark list at all. The Intel Core 7 240H, however, has 17 recorded test scores, and those scores provide the only performance evidence in this comparison. The Intel part's Cinebench results include a multi-core score of 15764 in Cinebench R23, a single-core score of 1719 in R23, 8562 in R20 multi-core, 1208 in R20 single-core, 2360 in R15 multi-core, and 249 in R15 single-core. PassMark results show a multithread score of 23975, a single-thread score of 3782, integer math at 80396, floating-point math at 58905, extended instructions at 16897, data compression at 271774, data encryption at 15155, prime number finding at 102, physics at 1723, and random string sorting at 28866.

The AMD part has no scores to compare against any of these figures. The database records zero benchmark results for it, so the Intel part leads in every measurable category by default. The Intel part's average score of 31483 places it among rivals that are effectively tied: the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 scores 31473 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX scores 31495 with a delta of 0%, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H scores 31508 with a delta of -0.1%, and the Intel Core i5-13500 scores 31510 with a delta of -0.1%. The Intel Core 7 240H is statistically indistinguishable from these four rivals, sitting in a tight cluster where the largest gap is one tenth of a percent. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no such rival cluster in the database.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every recorded specification field. Clock speeds: the AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part leads on both figures. Power: the AMD processor has a TDP of 28 watts, the Intel processor has a TDP of 45 watts. The AMD part draws less thermal headroom by a 17 watt margin. Socket: the AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1744. Memory: the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth; the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus and no recorded bandwidth.

Process: the AMD part uses 4 nm TSMC, the Intel part uses 10 nm Intel. Release dates: the AMD part releases on 2026-02-28, the Intel part releases on 2024-12-17, making the Intel chip the earlier product by more than a year. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $502; the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. The Intel part has a part number of SRQ6TQ5ML; the AMD part's part number is recorded as unknown. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The data splits the comparison into two domains: measured performance and architectural capability. The Intel Core 7 240H wins every benchmark category in the database because it is the only part with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15764 and single-core score of 1719, its PassMark multithread score of 23975, and its single-thread score of 3782 all stand as the only evidence of real-world compute behavior between these two processors. The Intel chip also claims the higher clock speeds, the larger L3 cache, and the newer PCIe generation. For any workload that depends on raw throughput, the recorded data points to the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins the efficiency and platform flexibility arguments that appear in the specification fields. Its 28 watt TDP is lower than the Intel part's 45 watt TDP, which suggests a more power-conscious design envelope. Its memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is the only recorded bandwidth figure in the comparison. It supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Intel part, and it supports LPDDR5X memory in addition to DDR5. Its PCIe Gen 4 implementation offers 16 lanes versus the Intel part's 8 lanes, which could matter for devices that need more lane count over raw lane speed. The AMD part also uses a 4 nm process, which is a smaller fabrication node than the Intel part's 10 nm process, and it carries a Radeon 880M integrated GPU compared to Intel's Iris Xe Graphics with 64 EU.

The release timeline favors the AMD part in terms of recency: the Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has a release date of 2026-02-28, while the Intel Core 7 240H has a release date of 2024-12-17. The AMD chip is the newer silicon, but the database contains no measurements to confirm what that newer design delivers. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $502 and a known part number, while the AMD part has neither recorded. The practical split is clear: the Intel part is the only one with benchmark evidence to support a purchase decision, while the AMD part offers a set of architectural advantages that remain unquantified in the database. The percentile data reinforces this, with the Intel part at the 82nd percentile and the AMD part at the 50th, though the AMD figure lacks the supporting benchmark context that the Intel figure carries.
