AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 vs Intel Processor U303L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and Intel Processor U303L occupy very different positions in the database's performance rankings. The AMD part sits at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel processor lands at the 50th percentile. That gap in percentile ranking is reflected throughout the recorded benchmark data, although direct head-to-head comparisons are limited because the Intel Processor U303L has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185, by contrast, has a full set of PassMark results.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 delivers an average benchmark score of 62,839. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX, scores 62,738, placing the AMD chip 0.2% ahead. The Intel Core i7-13790F scores 63,080, which puts the AMD part 0.4% behind that chip. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX scores 63,173, a 0.5% gap in favor of the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 scores 62,498, with the P185 leading by 0.5%. These figures show the P185 clustering tightly with a group of high-end desktop and mobile processors, all within a 0.5% band of each other. The Intel Processor U303L has no average benchmark score recorded, so it cannot be placed in that same comparison group.

Looking at the individual PassMark tests for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185, the strongest results appear in multithreaded and math workloads. The multithread score is 31,817, which aligns with the processor's 12 cores and 24 threads. Integer math scores 117,832, and floating point math scores 70,587. Data compression posts 374,429, the highest single score in the dataset. Random string sorting reaches 40,557. Extended instructions score 26,544. Data encryption scores 19,612. The single-thread score is 3,977, and the find prime numbers test produces 129. Physics scores 1,772.

The Intel Processor U303L has no benchmark entries in the database, so the data cannot confirm how it would perform on any of these tests. The database records its percentile as 50, but without an average score or individual test results, the comparison relies on the architectural and specification differences between the two parts. The AMD chip's 12 cores and 24 threads versus the Intel chip's 5 cores and 6 threads strongly suggests a large multithreaded advantage for the AMD part, but the absence of Intel benchmark data means that advantage cannot be quantified from recorded measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins on every benchmark category where data exists. Its multithread score of 31,817, integer math score of 117,832, and floating point math score of 70,587 place it firmly in the upper tier of the database. The data compression result of 374,429 is particularly strong. The single-thread score of 3,977 also indicates solid per-core performance for a 12-core part. The P185's 93rd percentile ranking means it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database.

The Intel Processor U303L has no recorded wins in the benchmark data because no benchmark scores exist for it. Its 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs, but the database does not contain performance measurements to support a detailed breakdown of where it might win. The U303L does have a lower TDP of 15 watts compared to the P185's 28 watts, which suggests it could be the more power-efficient choice in constrained thermal environments. The U303L also supports DDR4 memory, which the AMD part does not, potentially making it compatible with existing memory infrastructure. However, these are specification-level observations, not benchmark results.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 has 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel Processor U303L has 5 cores and 6 threads. Clock speeds also differ: the P185 has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the U303L has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 2.60 GHz.

TDP ratings differ as well. The P185 is rated at 28 watts, and the U303L is rated at 15 watts. The sockets are different: the P185 uses AMD Socket FP8, and the U303L uses Intel Socket 1700. Both processors have locked multipliers. The P185 supports ECC memory, while the U303L does not. PCIe lane counts differ: the P185 provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), and the U303L provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The P185 has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the U303L has no memory bandwidth recorded. The U303L has a launch MSRP of $285, while the P185 has no launch MSRP recorded.

The cache layouts differ in L2 and L3. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core. The P185 has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. The U303L has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The P185 has a die size of 233 mm², while the U303L has no die size recorded.

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 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Processor U303L uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Intel Processor (Raptor Lake) generation. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which partly explains the P185's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz against the U303L's 2.60 GHz.

The integrated graphics also differ by architecture. The P185 uses the Radeon 890M, while the U303L uses the UHD Graphics 96EU. Memory support reflects different design priorities: the P185 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the U303L supports DDR4 and DDR5. The P185 has 16 MB of L3 cache, and the U303L has 12 MB of shared L3. The P185 has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the U303L has 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The P185's 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes double the U303L's 8 lanes.

The release dates differ by nearly two years. The Intel Processor U303L was released on 2024-04-07, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 was released on 2026-02-28. Both are currently marked as Active in production status. Both target the mobile market segment.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 for workloads that benefit from many cores and high clock speeds. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, a 5.10 GHz boost clock, and a 93rd percentile ranking. Its recorded benchmark scores confirm strong performance in multithreaded work, math operations, and data compression. The 4 nm process node and TSMC foundry give it a manufacturing advantage over the Intel part's 10 nm process. The P185 also supports ECC memory and offers 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, features that matter for embedded and workstation use cases.

The Intel Processor U303L is a smaller, lower-power part. Its 15 watt TDP is nearly half the P185's 28 watts. It has 5 cores and 6 threads, a 2.60 GHz boost clock, and a 50th percentile ranking. It supports DDR4 memory, which the P185 does not, and it has a launch MSRP of $285. The database contains no benchmark scores for the U303L, so its actual performance cannot be verified from recorded measurements.

For users prioritizing raw performance, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is the clear choice based on the data. For users prioritizing low power consumption and DDR4 compatibility, the Intel Processor U303L has specification-level advantages, but its lack of recorded benchmark data means performance claims cannot be substantiated. The P185's position among its nearest rivals, all within 0.5% of its average score, confirms it competes at a high level. The U303L's position at the 50th percentile, without any benchmark scores to support it, leaves its performance profile undefined.
