AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core i5-110 Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and Intel Core i5-110 occupy different positions in the database. The AMD part is built for mobile embedded workloads with a 28 W TDP, 10 cores, and 20 threads, while the Intel part is a desktop chip with a 65 W TDP, 6 cores, and 12 threads. For users who need parallel throughput and modern memory support, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is the stronger choice on paper. For users who need a straightforward desktop processor with a higher base clock and a familiar socket, the Intel Core i5-110 remains a viable option. The data shows that the AMD part delivers twice the thread count, a newer process node, and substantially higher memory bandwidth. The Intel part counters with a higher base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, although the AMD part boosts higher at 5.00 GHz versus 4.30 GHz. Given these specifications, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is positioned for multi-threaded and memory-intensive applications, while the Intel Core i5-110 suits less demanding desktop tasks. There are no recorded benchmark scores in the database for either processor, so the analysis relies entirely on architectural and specification data.

Architecture Differences

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 manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-110 uses the Comet Lake architecture, also its codename, and is built on a 14 nm process at Intel. This process gap is significant. The 4 nm node allows the AMD chip to pack 10 cores and 20 threads into a 28 W TDP, while the Intel chip uses a 14 nm node with 6 cores and 12 threads at a 65 W TDP. The AMD part has a die size of 233 mm², whereas the Intel part has no recorded die size.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 256 KB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part therefore has larger per-core caches and a larger total L3 pool. Memory support also diverges: the AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 42.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core i5-110 provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses a Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 630. Socket compatibility is not shared. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1200. The AMD part is classified as mobile, and the Intel part is classified as desktop. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins in multi-threaded workloads due to its 10 cores and 20 threads, which double the Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads. The database shows this is a clear advantage for compilation, rendering, virtualization, and other parallel tasks. The AMD part also wins in memory bandwidth with 89.6 GB/s versus 42.7 GB/s, which benefits workloads that stream large data sets. The newer 4 nm process and PCIe Gen 4 support give the AMD part a forward-looking platform advantage. ECC memory support on the AMD part is another win for reliability-sensitive embedded applications. The higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz versus 4.30 GHz also gives the AMD part an edge in bursty single-threaded scenarios, provided the thermal envelope allows it. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics are a more capable GPU than the UHD Graphics 630, based on the architectural generational difference.

The Intel Core i5-110 wins in base clock frequency, running at 2.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, which can help in lightly threaded tasks that stay at base frequency. The Intel part also has a lower launch MSRP of $200, but pricing is not analyzed further. The desktop form factor with Intel Socket 1200 may be easier to integrate in existing desktop platforms. The Intel part uses DDR4, which is an older but widely deployed memory type. The 12 MB shared L3 cache, while smaller than the AMD part's 16 MB, is fully shared across all six cores, which can reduce latency in some cache-coherent workloads. The Intel part also has a lower core count, which means lower power draw per core in a 65 W envelope, though the total TDP is higher than the AMD part's 28 W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. Both parts have an avgBenchmarkScore of 0 and an empty list of nearest rivals. This means the comparison must be drawn from specification data. The most significant gap is in thread count. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers 20 threads, which is 8 more than the Intel Core i5-110's 12 threads. This represents a 66.7% thread advantage. In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD part should scale better across parallel tasks.

Memory bandwidth is another major divider. The AMD part records 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part records 42.7 GB/s. The AMD part's bandwidth is more than double the Intel part's, which is a direct consequence of DDR5 and LPDDR5X support versus DDR4. Workloads that are memory-bound, such as data analytics, large file processing, and some scientific computing, will favor the AMD part.

Clock speeds tell a mixed story. The Intel Core i5-110 has a base clock of 2.90 GHz, which is 0.90 GHz higher than the AMD part's 2.00 GHz. But the AMD part has a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, which is 0.70 GHz higher than the Intel part's 4.30 GHz. The AMD part therefore has a wider clock range, and its maximum clock is higher. For short bursts where the boost clock can be sustained, the AMD part has the advantage. For continuous operation at base frequency, the Intel part has the advantage.

Power efficiency favors the AMD part. The 28 W TDP versus 65 W TDP means the AMD processor delivers more cores and threads while drawing less than half the thermal design power. This is enabled by the 4 nm TSMC process. The Intel part's 14 nm process requires a much higher power budget for fewer cores. In embedded and mobile contexts, the AMD part is clearly the more efficient choice.

Cache capacity also favors the AMD part. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core versus 64 KB per core, the L2 cache is 1 MB per core versus 256 KB per core, and the L3 cache is 16 MB versus 12 MB. The per-core L2 difference is especially large: 1 MB versus 256 KB, a 4x difference. This can reduce memory latency in workloads with high per-thread working sets.

Integrated graphics favor the AMD part. The Radeon 880M is a newer integrated GPU compared to the UHD Graphics 630. No benchmark scores are recorded, but the generational and architectural differences suggest the AMD part provides more capable graphics processing. The AMD part also supports PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while the Intel part supports PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. This doubles the available PCIe bandwidth for add-in devices and NVMe storage.

The Intel Core i5-110 has a launch MSRP of $200. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part is a desktop processor with Intel Socket 1200, while the AMD part is a mobile processor with AMD Socket FP8. These platform differences determine which systems can use each chip.
