# Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and Intel Core i3-14100 represent fundamentally different architectural approaches. The AMD chip uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel part uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

The core configuration differences are substantial. The AMD processor packs 12 cores with 24 threads, while the Intel processor offers 4 cores with 8 threads. This 3-to-1 core ratio and 3-to-1 thread ratio largely explains the multithreaded performance gap. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part has a higher base clock of 3.50 GHz but a lower boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The higher base clock on the Intel chip suggests different design priorities, favoring consistent low-thread performance, while the AMD chip relies on its boost capability and core count.

Cache hierarchies also differ meaningfully. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel processor has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. For L3 cache, the AMD part provides 16 MB, while the Intel part offers 12 MB shared. The AMD chip has a die size of 233 mm², whereas the Intel chip measures 163 mm².

The integrated graphics solutions diverge significantly. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses a Radeon 890M, while the Intel Core i3-14100 uses UHD Graphics 730. Memory support differs as well: the AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 with no recorded memory bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The market segments also differ: the AMD processor is classified as Mobile, while the Intel processor is classified as Desktop. The AMD chip's TDP is 28, compared to the Intel chip's TDP of 60.

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 winning all 11 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with no wins recorded for the Intel Core i3-14100. The magnitude of those wins varies considerably across workload types.

The closest contest is in single-thread performance. The AMD part scores 3977 versus the Intel part's 3759, a 5.8% advantage. This indicates that despite the Intel chip's higher base clock of 3.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, the AMD boost clock of 5.10 GHz and the Zen 5 architecture deliver a modest edge in lightly threaded workloads.

The multithreaded results show a much larger separation. In PassMark multithread, the AMD processor scores 31817 versus 15095, a 110.8% advantage. The core count difference of 12 versus 4 drives this result. Similarly, in data compression, the AMD part scores 374429 versus 174115, a 115% delta. The data encryption test shows the AMD processor at 19612 versus 8838, a 121.9% advantage.

The extended instructions test reveals a 123.7% delta, with the AMD processor scoring 26544 versus 11865. The find prime numbers test shows the AMD processor at 129 versus 55, a 134.5% advantage. Random string sorting results show the AMD part at 40557 versus 17397, a 133.1% delta.

Floating point math performance shows a 100.2% advantage for the AMD processor, scoring 70587 versus 35266. Integer math delivers the largest delta at 159.9%, with the AMD processor scoring 117832 versus 45329. Physics test results show the AMD part at 1772 versus 958, an 85% advantage.

These results indicate that the AMD processor's advantage scales with workload parallelism and instruction complexity. The single-thread margin remains modest, but the gap widens substantially as more cores and threads come into play. The AMD processor's 24 threads provide a clear throughput advantage across all measured categories.

# The Verdict

The benchmark data presents a decisive picture. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins every head-to-head benchmark in the database, with deltas ranging from 5.8% in single-thread tests to 159.9% in integer math. The average benchmark score of 62839 versus 18318 places the AMD processor at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel Core i3-14100 sits at the 72nd percentile.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX with an average score of 62738 and a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core i7-13790F with 63080 and a delta of -0.4%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX with 63173 and a delta of -0.5%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 with 62498 and a delta of 0.5%. This places the AMD processor in a performance tier well above the Intel Core i3-14100, whose nearest rivals are the Intel Core 3 305 at 18302, the Intel Core 5 330 at 18345, the Intel Core 7 360 at 18374, and the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18380.

The Intel Core i3-14100 offers a higher base clock and a lower launch MSRP of $134, but the recorded data shows no benchmark category where it outperforms the AMD part. The Intel processor does carry a Gen 5 PCIe interface and a smaller die size of 163 mm², but these features do not translate into any measured performance wins.

The verdict from the data is clear: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 delivers superior performance across every measured workload. The only consideration in favor of the Intel part is its lower power envelope? No, the Intel TDP of 60 is actually higher than the AMD TDP of 28. The AMD processor also offers a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and LPDDR5X support. The Intel part's advantages are limited to its higher base clock, Gen 5 PCIe, and smaller die area.

# Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmark data, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins in every measured category. The Intel Core i3-14100 does not record a single benchmark win in the head-to-head comparisons.

The AMD processor's largest advantages appear in compute-heavy parallel workloads. Integer math shows a 159.9% delta, making it the strongest category for the AMD part. Find prime numbers shows a 134.5% advantage, and random string sorting shows a 133.1% advantage. Extended instructions deliver a 123.7% delta, data encryption shows 121.9%, and data compression shows 115%. Multithread performance shows a 110.8% advantage, and floating point math shows a 100.2% delta. Physics tests show an 85% advantage.

The narrowest margin for the AMD processor is in single-thread performance, with just a 5.8% delta. This suggests that in workloads that rely primarily on single-core speed, the two processors are much closer in capability. The Intel processor's higher base clock of 3.50 GHz likely contributes to this relative proximity.

The Intel Core i3-14100 does hold advantages in certain non-benchmark specifications. Its Gen 5 PCIe interface provides a newer standard compared to the AMD processor's Gen 4. Its die size of 163 mm² is smaller than the AMD processor's 233 mm². Its launch MSRP of $134 provides a price reference point, though no price comparison analysis is possible from the database.

The data also shows the Intel processor's nearest rivals all fall within a narrow band around 18302 to 18380 in average score, with deltas between 0.1% and -0.3%. This indicates the Intel Core i3-14100 sits in a tightly clustered performance tier. The AMD processor's nearest rivals span 62498 to 63173, with deltas between 0.5% and -0.5%, showing a similarly tight cluster at a much higher performance level.

For workloads that depend on parallel throughput, encryption, compression, or extended instruction sets, the AMD processor delivers roughly double to more than double the performance of the Intel part. For single-threaded tasks, the AMD processor still leads, but the margin narrows considerably. The Intel processor's role appears limited to scenarios where its higher base clock or Gen 5 PCIe interface provide platform-level benefits, but the recorded benchmark data shows no workload where it outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185.
