AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core 3 100HL has a full suite of 17 recorded scores. This means every head-to-head comparison relies solely on the Intel part's measurements, and the AMD processor's performance can only be assessed qualitatively through its architectural specifications.

The Intel Core 3 100HL delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,948 and a single-core score of 2,110. In Cinebench R20, it records 6,278 multi-core and 886 single-core. The older R15 test shows 1,506 multi-core and 212 single-core. These results place the Intel chip at the 76th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 23,545.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 100HL provide useful context. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U scores 23,709, which is 0.7% higher. The Intel Core i5-11500 also scores 23,718, again 0.7% higher. On the other side, the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V scores 23,297, which is 1.1% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H scores 23,277, which is 1.2% lower. The Intel Core 3 100HL sits within a tight band of roughly 2% of these four competitors, indicating close performance parity in aggregate workloads.

PassMark results for the Intel chip show varied strengths. Integer math scores 56,308, floating point math scores 42,108, and extended instructions score 12,463. Data compression reaches 202,225, while data encryption hits 11,964. Random string sorting records 23,223, and find prime numbers scores just 48. The multithread score is 17,586, physics is 928, and single-thread is 3,735. These figures demonstrate a processor that handles integer-heavy and compression tasks far better than prime-number searches, which is typical for a hybrid architecture with efficiency cores.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has zero recorded benchmarks, the database cannot produce a direct numerical comparison. The wins column shows 0 for both processors in head-to-head tests. However, the AMD part's specifications do allow for qualitative analysis. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel chip uses Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, compared to the Intel's 8 cores and 12 threads. The AMD boost clock reaches 5.10 GHz versus the Intel's 4.60 GHz. These architectural advantages suggest the AMD part should outperform in multi-threaded workloads, but no measured data confirms this.

The Verdict

The database contains no benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i, so any verdict must distinguish between measured performance and specification-based expectations. The Intel Core 3 100HL has a complete set of recorded scores, placing it at the 76th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 23,545 places it within 1.2% of four nearby rivals, all of which are within a narrow performance band.

For users relying strictly on recorded data, the Intel Core 3 100HL is the only option with verified performance. It demonstrates solid multi-core capability with a Cinebench R23 score of 14,948 and competitive single-thread performance at 2,110. The PassMark multithread score of 17,586 and single-thread score of 3,735 reinforce a balanced profile suitable for general productivity.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i presents a different situation. Its specifications indicate a higher core count, 12 versus 8, and double the thread count, 24 versus 12. The boost clock is higher at 5.10 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. The process node is smaller at 4 nm versus 10 nm. These factors point toward superior multi-threaded performance, but the database provides no measurements to confirm this. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not, and offers more PCIe lanes, 16 versus 8.

The data shows that the Intel Core 3 100HL is a proven performer with documented results. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i is an unverified contender whose specifications suggest it could exceed the Intel chip, particularly in parallel workloads. Without benchmark scores, the database cannot assign a definitive winner.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 100HL wins in every category where recorded data exists. Its Cinebench scores, PassMark scores, and percentile ranking all come from actual measurements. For workloads involving integer math, floating point math, data compression, encryption, and multithreaded tasks, the Intel chip has verified results. The PassMark integer math score of 56,308 and floating point score of 42,108 show particular strength in computational tasks. Data compression at 202,225 indicates strong performance in file archiving and database operations.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins in specification-based categories. It has more cores and threads, which typically benefits heavily parallel workloads like video rendering, scientific simulations, and server virtualization. The higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz suggests an advantage in lightly threaded tasks that rely on single-core speed. The 4 nm process node indicates better power efficiency per transistor, though the TDP difference is notable: the AMD part is rated at 28 watts while the Intel part is rated at 45 watts. The AMD chip also supports ECC memory, making it suitable for error-sensitive computing environments such as financial modeling or data integrity-critical servers.

The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The AMD chip has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure in the database. The AMD chip's integrated graphics, Radeon 890M, likely outperforms the Intel Iris Xe Graphics 48EU, though no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD socket is FP8, while the Intel uses Socket 1700, meaning platform choices will dictate compatibility.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i comes from the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 3 100HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename within the Core 3 generation. These represent two fundamentally different design philosophies: AMD opts for a hybrid of full Zen 5 and compact Zen 5c cores, while Intel uses its established Raptor Lake hybrid layout.

The process technology differs significantly. AMD uses TSMC's 4 nm node, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. This process advantage likely contributes to the AMD chip's lower TDP of 28 watts versus the Intel's 45 watts, despite the AMD part having more cores and threads. The AMD die size is recorded at 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not listed in the database.

Cache hierarchies show structural differences. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is 16 MB for the AMD chip, while the Intel chip has 12 MB shared. These cache configurations suggest the Intel part favors per-core L2 capacity, while the AMD part offers more total L3.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. The AMD chip includes ECC memory support, which is absent on the Intel part. This makes the AMD processor more suitable for reliability-critical workloads.

PCIe connectivity differs in lane count. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Both are CPU-only lane counts. The AMD part's integrated graphics is the Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units.

Socket compatibility also separates the two. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, typically found in mobile platforms. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700, which is a desktop socket. The Intel part is marked as desktop market segment, while the AMD part is marked as mobile. Release dates differ by nearly two years: the Intel chip was released in April 2024, while the AMD chip is dated February 2026. Both processors are currently marked as active production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Intel Core 3 100HL's benchmark data places it at the 76th percentile among all CPUs. Its average score of 23,545 positions it within a tight cluster of rivals, all within 1.2% of each other. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i's lack of recorded benchmarks leaves its performance unquantified, though its architectural specifications suggest it could be a stronger multi-threaded part. The database currently supports only the Intel chip with verified measurements.
