AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core 9 273PE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE is the decisive performance leader in the recorded data, taking every benchmark where scores exist. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries in the database, so the comparison is one-sided in terms of measurable results. The Intel part holds the 90th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile, a gap that reflects the absence of recorded scores for the AMD chip rather than a direct head-to-head measurement.

The Intel Core 9 273PE wins across every category of workload represented in the database. Single-thread performance favors Intel, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4417. Multi-thread performance also favors Intel, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 31288. Data compression, encryption, integer math, floating-point math, prime number finding, random string sorting, physics, and extended instruction workloads all show Intel with recorded scores, while the AMD chip has none.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i does hold advantages in platform characteristics that are not reflected in benchmark scores. It uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC, which is denser than Intel's 10 nm node. It also carries a 28 W TDP, which is substantially lower than Intel's 65 W TDP. These are architectural and efficiency advantages, but the database contains no benchmark results to quantify their impact on performance.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 9 273PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Core counts differ. The AMD chip has 10 cores and 20 threads. The Intel chip has 12 cores and 24 threads. That gives Intel a 20% advantage in core count and thread count, a structural edge for multi-threaded workloads.

Cache hierarchies diverge significantly. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core, while Intel uses 2 MB of L2 per core. The L3 cache differs even more: AMD provides 16 MB of L3, while Intel provides 36 MB of shared L3. Intel therefore has twice the L2 per core and more than double the total L3 capacity.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, and both show the same memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities are split by generation. AMD uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel offers a newer PCIe standard, which matters for storage and expansion bandwidth.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD part uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not provide graphics benchmark scores, so the performance gap cannot be quantified.

The market segments differ. AMD is positioned as a mobile processor, while Intel is positioned as a desktop processor. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $549. The AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part number is SA4QD, while the AMD part number is listed as unknown.

The Intel chip has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz. The AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Intel leads in both clock specifications. Socket types differ as well: AMD uses Socket FP8, while Intel uses Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core 9 273PE. The Intel chip has a full set of recorded scores, while the AMD chip has none. This makes a side-by-side comparison of measured results impossible. However, the Intel chip's scores can be interpreted against its nearest rivals in the database, which provides context for its performance class.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 9 273PE scores 31288. In Cinebench R23 single-core, it scores 4417. In the older Cinebench R20 tests, it scores 13140 multi-core and 1855 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 3153 multi-core and 445 single-core. These results show consistent scaling across Cinebench versions, with the multi-core advantage growing as the test becomes more demanding.

PassMark results for the Intel chip are extensive. The multi-thread score is 36810, while the single-thread score is 3650. Integer math scores 139410, floating-point math scores 107884, and extended instructions score 24630. Data compression scores 405885, data encryption scores 22719, and random string sorting scores 45098. Prime number finding scores 203, and physics scores 3120.

The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 49845, placing it at the 90th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 has an average score of 49796, which is 0.1% lower than the Intel chip. The Intel Core i5-14600KF scores 49394, which is 0.9% lower. The Intel Core i9-13980HX scores 50398, which is 1.1% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 scores 50448, which is 1.2% higher. The Intel Core 9 273PE sits essentially in a dead heat with these four rivals, all within a 1.2% band.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded average benchmark score, no benchmark entries, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile of 50 is a placeholder reflecting missing data rather than a measured performance level.

The Verdict

The data supports one clear conclusion: the Intel Core 9 273PE is the only one of the two with measurable performance results, and those results place it at the 90th percentile among all CPUs. It delivers strong multi-thread and single-thread scores, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 31288 and a single-core result of 4417. Its average benchmark score of 49845 puts it within 1.2% of four closely matched rivals, confirming it as a mainstream high-performance desktop processor.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i cannot be performance-verified from the database. It has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons. What the data does show is a mobile-oriented design with a 28 W TDP, a 4 nm TSMC process, 10 cores, 20 threads, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. These specifications suggest an efficiency-focused embedded processor, but the database records no evidence of its actual performance.

For a user who needs a desktop CPU with documented multi-thread and single-thread capability, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the choice supported by data. For a user who needs a low-power mobile or embedded processor with a newer process node and a denser design, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers those characteristics, but without benchmark evidence of how it performs.
