AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 7 250H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, as its benchmark array is empty. All available performance data belongs to the Intel Core 7 250H. Consequently, the Intel part holds every recorded win in this comparison, simply because it is the only processor with submitted benchmark scores.

The Intel Core 7 250H demonstrates its strengths across both single-thread and multi-thread workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16561 points in multi-core and 1931 points in single-core. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 27030, with integer math at 99100 and floating point math at 65094. These numbers indicate a processor that handles sustained parallel workloads, such as video rendering or scientific computation, with clear competence.

For the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, the absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm any workload-specific advantage. Its specifications suggest a design aimed at embedded applications with a 28 W TDP, but without measured results, any claim about its performance wins would be speculative. The data simply shows no recorded wins for the AMD part.

The Intel Core 7 250H also shows strong single-thread capability, with PassMark single-thread at 4148 and Cinebench R15 single-core at 298. These results position it favorably for lightly threaded applications, including everyday productivity tasks and legacy software that relies on high clock speeds. Its boost clock reaches 5.40 GHz, which the recorded scores support as effective in practice.

The AMD part, with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, may theoretically compete in single-thread scenarios, but the lack of benchmark data prevents any confirmation. The database records zero wins for the AMD processor, and every available score belongs to Intel. This is not a close contest in the recorded data; it is a one-sided dataset.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 250H uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-H from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, on Intel's 10 nm process.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel chip has 14 cores and 20 threads. Both support 20 threads, but Intel achieves this with more physical cores, suggesting a hybrid arrangement typical of Raptor Lake designs. The AMD part relies on its Zen 5 and Zen 5c combination, where the "c" suffix typically indicates higher density, lower power cores.

Cache layouts diverge as well. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core, and provides 24 MB of shared L3. This gives Intel a total cache advantage, particularly in L2, which often benefits workloads with frequent data reuse.

Memory support differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X in dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC support enabled. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure and ECC is not supported. This makes the AMD part more suitable for error-sensitive embedded workloads.

PCIe connectivity also differs. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes. The Intel connection offers higher per-lane bandwidth but fewer lanes, which may matter for expansion-heavy designs. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon 880M, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units.

The manufacturing process is a notable distinction. AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC node, which is finer than Intel's 10 nm node. The die size for Intel is not recorded, so no direct comparison can be made there. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 W, while the Intel part has a TDP of 45 W, indicating different thermal and power design targets.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded benchmark scores, the database offers no direct head-to-head numbers. Every score in this section comes from the Intel Core 7 250H. The Intel processor's average benchmark score is 35728, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals for the Intel part provide context. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 scores 35719, essentially identical with a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 35670, a 0.2 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802, which is 0.2 percent higher than the Intel Core 7 250H. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X scores 35909, 0.5 percent higher. These deltas are small, indicating that the Core 7 250H sits in a tightly contested performance band.

Specific Intel scores include Cinebench R15 multi-core at 3147 and single-core at 298. Cinebench R20 shows 9697 multi-core and 1368 single-core. Cinebench R23, the most recent of the three, shows 16561 multi-core and 1931 single-core. These Cinebench results confirm a processor that scales well from single to multi-threaded workloads.

PassMark results for Intel include data compression at 303269, data encryption at 18206, extended instructions at 17318, find prime numbers at 106, floating point math at 65094, integer math at 99100, multithread at 27030, physics at 1824, random string sorting at 34136, and single thread at 4148. The integer and floating point scores are particularly strong, indicating solid arithmetic throughput.

The AMD part has no comparable numbers. Its percentile of 50 places it at the median of all CPUs in the database, but with an average benchmark score of zero, this percentile likely reflects specifications rather than measured performance. Without recorded scores, the database cannot substantiate any head-to-head advantage for AMD.

The Verdict

The recorded data points clearly toward the Intel Core 7 250H for any user requiring measured performance. It holds the 85th percentile position with an average score of 35728, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.5 percent, making it a competitive choice in its class. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, with no benchmark scores, cannot be evaluated for performance from the database alone.

For embedded applications where power efficiency matters, the AMD part has a lower TDP at 28 W versus 45 W, supports ECC memory, and uses a finer 4 nm process. These features suggest suitability for reliability-focused or thermally constrained designs. The Intel part, with its higher TDP and larger core count, appears better suited for performance-oriented mobile systems.

The Intel processor offers more L2 cache per core and more total L3 cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 8 lanes may also appeal to designs needing high-bandwidth peripherals. The AMD processor counters with 16 Gen 4 lanes, offering more connectivity options at lower bandwidth.

The launch MSRP for the Intel Core 7 250H is $502. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP, so its price position is unknown. This single data point does not support any broader pricing analysis.

Users seeking a processor with confirmed benchmark results should select the Intel Core 7 250H. Users prioritizing ECC support, lower power draw, or a smaller manufacturing node may consider the AMD part, but must accept that the database contains no performance verification for it.
