AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 7 360 in distinct performance tiers. The AMD part is a 10-core, 20-thread processor with a 5.00 GHz boost clock, while the Intel part is a 6-core, 6-thread processor with a 4.80 GHz boost clock. Benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 360 show a multicore score of 13,634 in Cinebench R23, a single-core score of 1,924 in the same test, and an average benchmark score of 18,374. This places the Intel chip at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with its nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-13100, scoring 18,380, a delta of 0 percent.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, despite having more cores and threads, holds a 50th percentile position and does not have recorded benchmark scores or an average score in the database. Consequently, the Intel Core 7 360 is the only part with measurable performance data, indicating it is the stronger performer in this comparison based on available measurements. The AMD chip offers higher core counts, a larger cache hierarchy, and a faster boost clock on paper, but without benchmark scores, its actual performance cannot be verified. The Intel part, with its 72nd percentile ranking and a 0 percent delta against the Core i3-13100, demonstrates solid mainstream performance. The verdict from the data is that the Intel Core 7 360 is the only chip with confirmed performance, while the AMD part remains an unquantified alternative with higher specifications.

The Intel chip counters with a smaller process node (3 nm versus 4 nm), a larger L1 cache per core (192 KB versus 80 KB), and a larger L2 cache per core (2.5 MB versus 1 MB). The AMD part also has more PCIe lanes (16 versus 6), while the Intel part has a lower TDP (15 watts versus 28 watts).

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data is incomplete, as the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded scores in the database. The analysis must rely solely on the Intel Core 7 360 measurements, which show a consistent performance profile. In Cinebench R15, the Intel chip scores 1,374 in multicore and 193 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5,726 in multicore and 808 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13,634 in multicore and 1,924 in single-core. These results indicate a balanced multicore-to-single-core ratio, with the multicore score scaling as expected from a 6-thread processor.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 7 360 further detail its capabilities. The data compression score is 142,877, data encryption is 11,164, extended instructions are 12,390, and find prime numbers is 120. Floating point math scores 44,963, integer math scores 34,238, multithread scores 15,544, and physics scores 1,213. Random string sorting scores 17,636, and single-thread performance scores 4,274. These scores show strong integer and floating-point throughput, with the multithread score of 15,544 confirming the multicore performance seen in Cinebench. The single-thread score of 4,274 indicates competitive per-core performance.

Since the AMD chip has no benchmarks, there are no direct wins to compare. The data shows the Intel part delivers measurable results across all tested workloads, while the AMD part remains unmeasured. The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 7 360 are the Intel Core i3-13100 with an average score of 18,380 and a 0 percent delta, the Intel Core 5 330 with 18,345 and a 0.2 percent delta, the Intel Core i3-14100 with 18,318 and a 0.3 percent delta, and the Intel Core 3 305 with 18,302 and a 0.4 percent delta. These deltas confirm the Intel Core 7 360 performs on par with these mainstream desktop chips, despite being a mobile processor.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in every measurable benchmark category, as it is the only processor with recorded scores. The data shows it delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13,634 and a single-core score of 1,924, with a PassMark single-thread score of 4,274. Its average benchmark score of 18,374 places it at the 72nd percentile, meaning it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-13100, has a delta of 0 percent, so the Core 7 360 matches that desktop chip's performance exactly. This makes the Intel part the clear choice for any workload where confirmed performance is required, from multithreaded rendering to single-threaded response.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins on paper specifications. It offers 10 cores and 20 threads, double the threads of the Intel part, which suggests potential for higher throughput in heavily threaded workloads. It also has a larger L3 cache at 16 MB, higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s, dual-channel memory support, and ECC capability. The AMD chip has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz, and more PCIe lanes at 16 versus 6. These specifications indicate the AMD part is designed for embedded applications requiring more bandwidth, memory capacity, and error correction, but its actual performance remains unmeasured in the database.

In a use-case split, the Intel Core 7 360 is the winner for any application that relies on verified benchmark scores, such as general productivity, content creation, or single-threaded tasks where its 4,274 PassMark single-thread score indicates strong per-core performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is the winner for applications that value the higher core count, larger cache, dual-channel memory, and ECC support, such as embedded systems or servers where data integrity and memory throughput are prioritized over raw benchmark scores. The data does not allow a performance comparison between the two, so the choice hinges on whether the user needs confirmed benchmark results or the higher specification sheet of the AMD part.
