AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data delivers a decisive outcome: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins all 11 shared benchmark comparisons against the Intel Core i3-14100F. While the overall result is lopsided, the magnitude of the advantage varies widely across workloads, and that spread reveals the character of each processor.

The largest single margin appears in integer math, where the AMD part scores 117,832 against Intel's 45,357, a 159.8% advantage. This is nearly double the margin seen in floating-point math, where the AMD scores 70,587 versus 35,370, a 99.6% lead. The gap in integer throughput suggests the AMD's wider core configuration and higher thread count translate directly into arithmetic-heavy tasks.

Data compression favors AMD at 374,429 versus 176,106, a 112.6% delta. Random string sorting shows a 130.5% advantage, with AMD at 40,557 against Intel's 17,596. Both tests are memory-latency sensitive, and the AMD's larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 12 MB) plus higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus no published figure) likely contribute.

Encryption workloads show AMD at 19,612 versus 8,922, a 119.8% lead. Extended instruction set performance lands at 26,544 versus 11,984, a 121.5% delta. Prime number generation, a single-thread-heavy test, still favors AMD by 111.5%, scoring 129 versus 61.

The multithread benchmark puts AMD at 31,817 against Intel's 15,420, a 106.3% advantage. Physics simulation shows the smallest proportional win at 64.5%, with AMD at 1,772 versus 1,077. The single-thread results are the closest: AMD scores 3,977 versus Intel's 3,778, a 5.3% edge. That narrow margin matters. It shows the Intel core is competitive per-thread despite its older process node and lower core count.

The average benchmark score confirms the separation: AMD sits at 62,839, Intel at 18,519. The AMD's 93rd percentile among all CPUs versus Intel's 72nd percentile places them in different tiers entirely.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins every benchmark category, but the shape of those wins defines its strengths. The largest deltas appear in integer math (159.8%), random string sorting (130.5%), extended instructions (121.5%), and encryption (119.8%). These are throughput-oriented workloads where core count and parallel execution dominate. With 12 cores and 24 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, the AMD has a structural advantage that no amount of clock speed can offset.

The Intel Core i3-14100F does not win any category, but its single-thread margin is the closest contest in the data. The 5.3% gap in single-thread performance means the Intel part loses by a small margin in lightly threaded tasks. Its 4.70 GHz boost clock is higher than the AMD's 2.00 GHz base, though the AMD boosts to 5.10 GHz. The Intel's 58 W TDP versus AMD's 28 W TDP also signals a different design philosophy: the Intel uses more power to chase clock speed, while the AMD uses its efficiency to sustain a higher thread count.

For workloads that are parallel and data-heavy, the AMD's wins are emphatic. For single-threaded legacy applications, the Intel part is merely slightly slower. The database shows no scenario where the Intel chip takes the lead.

Specification Differences

The core configuration is the most glaring difference. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel Core i3-14100F uses 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock speeds differ substantially: the AMD has a 2.00 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost, while the Intel has a 3.50 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost. The Intel's higher base clock reflects its desktop orientation, but the AMD's higher boost clock shows its top-end capability.

Thermal design power separates the two clearly. The AMD is rated at 28 W TDP, the Intel at 58 W TDP. That is a 30 W difference in the recorded specifications, which implies the AMD delivers far more performance per watt given its benchmark leads.

Socket compatibility differs entirely. The AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile-oriented package. The Intel uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform. The market segments confirm this: the AMD is listed as Mobile, the Intel as Desktop.

Memory support overlaps but is not identical. Both support DDR5, but the Intel also supports DDR4. The AMD supports LPDDR5X in addition to DDR5. The AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s; the Intel has no published bandwidth figure in the database. Both use dual-channel memory buses.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation. The AMD provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel's PCIe generation is newer, but this does not affect the CPU benchmark results.

The integrated graphics situation is a major split. The AMD includes a Radeon 890M GPU. The Intel has no integrated graphics, so a discrete GPU is mandatory for any display output.

The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $109. The AMD has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i3-14100F uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series built on Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake Refresh). It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 163 mm².

The process node gap is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm. The AMD's smaller node allows more transistors in a larger die, while the Intel uses a larger node in a smaller die. The recorded die sizes are 233 mm² for AMD and 163 mm² for Intel.

Cache hierarchies differ in structure. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel has 1.25 MB per core. The AMD has 16 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel has 12 MB shared. The AMD's L3 advantage of 4 MB is modest, but the per-core L2 difference is notable: the Intel allocates more L2 per core, which may help its single-thread efficiency.

The AMD's core layout uses a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c arrangement, which typically combines high-performance and high-efficiency cores in the same package. The Intel uses a monolithic Raptor Lake design with four performance cores and no efficiency cores in this specific SKU.

The Intel part has a part number of SRMX2, indicating a specific stepping. The AMD's part number is listed as unknown. The AMD's market segment is Mobile, the Intel's is Desktop, which reinforces the intended usage scenarios.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 outperforms the Intel Core i3-14100F in every recorded benchmark, with an average score of 62,839 versus 18,519. The AMD's 93rd percentile ranking versus Intel's 72nd percentile confirms the gap is not an artifact of a single test.

The AMD part should be chosen for workloads that benefit from parallel execution. Its 12 cores and 24 threads produce leads of over 100% in multithread, integer math, compression, and encryption tests. The 28 W TDP makes it suited for power-constrained mobile or embedded systems that still need high throughput.

The Intel Core i3-14100F is the closer competitor in single-threaded tasks, where it trails by only 5.3%. Its higher base clock of 3.50 GHz and per-core L2 of 1.25 MB show that it is designed for responsive single-thread performance. The PCIe Gen 5 support is a forward-looking feature, and the DDR4 compatibility offers flexibility for existing memory infrastructure.

The Intel's launch MSRP of $109 places it at a low absolute price point, but the database records no price for the AMD, so no direct comparison can be made. The AMD's integrated Radeon 890M GPU removes the need for a discrete graphics card, which is a functional advantage the Intel cannot match with its N/A integrated graphics.

For systems where every watt counts and workloads are heavily threaded, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is the superior choice based on the recorded measurements. For simple desktop builds that prioritize per-thread performance and use a discrete GPU, the Intel Core i3-14100F remains a viable option, but it is measurably slower in every benchmark category the database tracks.
