Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and the Intel Core 7 150U represent fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD part 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 with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel part uses the Raptor Lake codename, specifically Raptor Lake-U, and belongs to the Core 7 generation built on Raptor Lake architecture. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel.

The core configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel processor provides 10 cores and 12 threads. This thread advantage comes from simultaneous multithreading on all AMD cores, whereas the Intel part has a more limited thread count relative to its core count.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both processors share an identical L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The L2 cache differs: the AMD part has 1 MB per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows a clear AMD advantage with 16 MB versus 12 MB shared on the Intel side.

Memory support reveals another split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses the Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses the Iris Xe Graphics 96EU.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel processor has a lower base clock of 1.80 GHz but a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The thermal design power favors the Intel part at 15 versus 28 for the AMD part.

Socket and packaging differ completely. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1744. The Intel part has a known part number, SRMYP, while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a decisive performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 delivers an average benchmark score of 62839, which is 261.3% higher than the Intel Core 7 150U's 17395. The AMD part sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part sits in the 71st percentile.

In every recorded head-to-head benchmark, the AMD processor wins. The largest margins appear in extended instructions (203.4% ahead), data compression (136.1% ahead), and integer math (130.8% ahead). The smallest margin is in single-thread performance, where AMD leads by 13.4%.

The Intel Core 7 150U offers a lower thermal design power of 15, a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and support for DDR4 memory. These traits may suit designs prioritizing power efficiency or legacy memory compatibility. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 offers substantially higher multi-threaded throughput, larger L3 cache, ECC memory support, higher memory bandwidth, and more PCIe lanes.

For workloads that stress parallel execution, data compression, encryption, or extended instruction sets, the AMD processor is the clear choice based on the recorded benchmarks. For designs that require the lowest thermal envelope or compatibility with DDR4, the Intel processor has specific advantages, but the performance data shows no benchmark where it overtakes the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results show a uniform pattern: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins all 11 recorded comparisons, with margins ranging from 13.4% to 203.4%.

The largest victory comes in extended instructions. The AMD processor scores 26544 versus 8748 for Intel, a delta of 203.4%. This indicates a substantial advantage in workloads using advanced instruction sets such as AVX or similar vector operations.

Data compression shows a 136.1% lead for AMD, with scores of 374429 versus 158622. This test often reflects memory bandwidth and cache efficiency, areas where the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and 16 MB L3 cache likely contribute.

Integer math results give AMD a 130.8% advantage, scoring 117832 versus 51057. The prime number finding test shows a 122.4% lead, with AMD scoring 129 versus 58. Random string sorting delivers a 122% lead, with AMD at 40557 versus 18269.

Floating point math shows AMD ahead by 105.2%, scoring 70587 versus 34405. The multi-thread test gives AMD a 116.4% lead, scoring 31817 versus 14700. Data encryption shows a 95.6% advantage, with AMD at 19612 versus 10025.

The physics test shows AMD ahead by 75.1%, scoring 1772 versus 1012. This is the second-smallest margin but still a substantial win for AMD.

The closest contest is single-thread performance. The AMD processor scores 3977 versus 3508 for Intel, a lead of 13.4%. This result is recorded twice in the database under both "passmark_single_thread" and "passmark_singlethread" with identical scores and delta percentages.

These results indicate that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 holds advantages across every measured category. The single-thread margin, while smaller, still favors AMD. The multi-thread and extended instruction margins are particularly large, suggesting the AMD part's additional cores, threads, and cache provide compounding benefits in parallel and vector-heavy workloads.

The Intel Core 7 150U does not achieve a win in any recorded benchmark. Its higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz does not translate into a single-thread victory, as the AMD part's 5.10 GHz boost clock still produces a higher single-thread score. The Intel part's lower TDP of 15 may be its primary distinguishing feature, but the performance data shows no compensating benchmark advantage.
