AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data shows a decisive overall victory for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185, which wins 9 of the 11 recorded comparisons. The Intel Core 5 213PE takes only the two single-thread tests. Looking at the raw scores, the AMD part leads by substantial margins in most multi-threaded workloads, while the Intel part claws back a narrow win in single-core performance.

The largest gap between the two appears in extended instructions. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 scores 26,544 against 19,565 for the Intel Core 5 213PE, a 35.7% advantage. This indicates the AMD processor handles complex instruction sets with noticeably higher throughput. Integer math also shows a strong split, with AMD posting 117,832 versus 92,089 for Intel, a 28% lead. Data compression follows a similar pattern, as AMD reaches 374,429 compared to Intel's 298,804, a 25.3% difference. Random string sorting goes to AMD by 26.6%, with scores of 40,557 and 32,027 respectively.

Data encryption shows AMD ahead by 23.2%, recording 19,612 against Intel's 15,916. The multi-thread test, which serves as a broad aggregate of parallel performance, favors AMD by 20.4%, with scores of 31,817 and 26,434. Prime number finding is closer but still favors AMD, 129 to 114, a 13.2% delta. Physics simulation results give AMD a 9.1% margin, 1,772 to 1,624. Floating-point math is the tightest multi-thread test, with AMD at 70,587 and Intel at 68,587, a 2.9% edge.

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins both single-thread listings, scoring 4,060 against AMD's 3,977. That delta is 2% in Intel's favor. Despite that narrow win, the overall average benchmark score tells a clearer story: the AMD processor averages 62,839 points across its benchmark suite, while the Intel processor averages 35,428. This places the AMD part at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel part sits at the 85th percentile.

For context on where these parts sit among their peers, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX, which averages 62,738 (a 0.2% difference). It also sits within half a percentage point of the Intel Core i7-13790F and Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX. The Intel Core 5 213PE, meanwhile, is grouped with desktop parts like the Intel Core i7-13700T and Intel Core i7-12700KF, all within a 0.4% range of each other. The delta between the two processors in aggregate performance is therefore not a matter of small margins; the AMD part operates in a different performance tier.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is built by TSMC on a 4 nm process, while the Intel Core 5 213PE is manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process. The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation.

Cache layouts differ meaningfully. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor carries 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 per core. L3 cache goes the other way, with AMD providing 16 MB and Intel providing 24 MB shared. This suggests the Intel part relies more on larger L3 capacity, while the AMD part pairs smaller per-core L2 with a smaller L3 pool.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD part records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part records 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

Integrated graphics are different as well. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses a Radeon 890M, while the Intel Core 5 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730. The PCIe interface differs by generation, with the AMD part offering Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, and the Intel part offering Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The die size is recorded for the AMD processor at 233 mm², while no die size is listed for the Intel part. The AMD processor has a 28 TDP, and the Intel processor has a 65 TDP.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 delivers 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel Core 5 213PE delivers 8 cores and 16 threads.

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Despite the higher base and boost clocks on the Intel side, the AMD part wins most performance tests, indicating that core count and architecture efficiency outweigh the clock advantage.

The process node separates the two by manufacturing technology. AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC. Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry.

Socket compatibility is entirely different. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700.

Memory bandwidth figures differ, with AMD at 89.6 GB/s and Intel at 76.8 GB/s. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5.

PCIe generation differs, with AMD offering Gen 4 and Intel offering Gen 5, both with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ, with AMD pairing a Radeon 890M and Intel pairing UHD Graphics 730.

The production status for both is listed as active. The AMD part has no launch MSRP listed, while the Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221. The Intel part has a recorded part number of SA4QG, while the AMD part has no part number listed.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins 9 of 11 benchmark comparisons and holds a substantial lead in average benchmark score, 62,839 versus 35,428. Its wins include the major multi-threaded workloads: integer math, data compression, encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, and the multi-thread aggregate. These are the tests that typically reflect heavy parallel processing, and the AMD part leads by margins ranging from 2.9% to 35.7%.

The Intel Core 5 213PE, by contrast, wins only the two single-thread tests, and by a narrow 2% margin. Its average benchmark score is roughly 44% lower than the AMD part. The Intel part also sits at the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 93rd percentile.

The specification differences reinforce this reading. The AMD part offers 12 cores and 24 threads against 8 cores and 16 threads for Intel. It also provides higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part does offer a higher boost clock at 5.20 GHz versus 5.10 GHz, and a higher base clock at 2.70 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, but that does not translate into multi-threaded wins. The single-thread wins for Intel confirm that its clock speed helps in lightly threaded scenarios, but the overall record favors AMD.

The AMD part is also the more power-efficient option on paper, with a 28 TDP versus 65 for Intel. That difference, combined with the performance lead, makes the AMD processor the stronger choice in the aggregate. The Intel part belongs to a lower performance tier, as its nearest rivals in the database are desktop parts like the Intel Core i7-13700T and Intel Core i7-12700KF, all scoring near 35,000. The AMD part competes with parts scoring near 63,000, such as the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX and AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins in every multi-threaded category recorded. That includes data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating-point math, integer math, the multi-thread aggregate, physics simulation, and random string sorting. These are workloads that scale with core count and memory bandwidth. The AMD part has more cores, more threads, and higher memory bandwidth, which aligns with its dominance in these tests.

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins only in single-thread performance. Its scores of 4,060 beat the AMD part's 3,977 in both single-thread listings. That makes it the better option for software that is primarily single-threaded or lightly threaded, where the higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz provides a measurable edge.

For workloads that depend on parallel execution, the AMD part is the clear leader. For workloads that depend on a single core's speed, the Intel part holds a slight advantage. The magnitude of the AMD wins in multi-threaded tests, especially the 35.7% lead in extended instructions and the 28% lead in integer math, far outweighs the 2% single-thread margin for Intel. The data therefore shows the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 as the stronger processor overall, with the Intel Core 5 213PE serving a narrower role for single-thread-sensitive applications.
