AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core 3 304 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 304 is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores in the database, so a direct numerical comparison cannot be made across the full benchmark suite. The Intel Core 3 304 shows an average benchmark score of 13745 across its tested workloads, placing it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD part sits at the 50th percentile, though this figure is based on its aggregate position rather than measured workload performance.

The Intel Core 3 304 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 5263 and a single-core score of 1765. In Cinebench R20, the same processor produces 4160 multi-core and 587 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 workload shows 849 multi-core and 264 single-core. These results indicate a processor that scales predictably across rendering workloads, with the single-core scores suggesting a capable architecture that carries its weight in lightly threaded tasks.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 3 304 show the strongest showing in data compression, where it records 114775, while data encryption reaches 8501 and extended instructions score 9686. The integer math test yields 24640 and floating-point math produces 29722. Prime number calculation is the weakest result at 68, and random string sorting records 13659. The multithread PassMark score comes in at 11625, while single-thread performance lands at 3614. The physics workload records 868.

Comparing the Intel Core 3 304 to its nearest rivals in the database, the delta percentages are tight. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX averages 13786, which is 0.3% higher than the Intel Core 3 304. The Intel Core i7-8750H averages 13868, a 0.9% advantage. The AMD EPYC 7443 averages 13936, putting it 1.4% ahead. The only rival that trails the Intel Core 3 304 is the Intel Core 5 120UL, which averages 13594, or 1.1% behind. These margins are small enough that the Intel Core 3 304 sits in a competitive cluster, though it does not lead its peer group.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no listed benchmark scores, no wins recorded, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, which means the database contains no measured workload data for this part. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and neither processor registers a win in the winsA or winsB fields. The data indicates that the Intel Core 3 304 is the only one of the two with verified performance measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their fundamental design. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i uses 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core 3 304 uses 5 cores and 5 threads. The AMD part is built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation under the Gorgon Point codename, manufactured on a 4 nm TSMC process with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel part uses the Wildcat Lake codename from the Core 3 generation, built on Intel's 3 nm process, with no die size recorded.

Clock speeds differ as well. The AMD processor has a 2.00 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz boost clock. The Intel processor has a 1.50 GHz base clock and a 4.30 GHz boost clock. The AMD part runs at a 28 W TDP, while the Intel part runs at 15 W. Both are mobile-market parts with active production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Cache layouts are structured differently. The AMD processor uses 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor records 192 KB of L1 cache, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part's larger L3 pool reflects its higher core count and thread count.

Memory support shows some common ground but also key differences. Both support DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory types. The AMD processor uses a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel processor uses a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not. PCIe connectivity also differs, with the AMD processor offering Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only) and the Intel processor offering Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ by vendor. The AMD part uses the Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses the Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1516. The AMD part has a part number listed as unknown, while the Intel part carries the part number SAE3K.

The release dates place the AMD processor earlier, with a 2026-02-28 date, while the Intel processor arrives later on 2026-04-15. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $309, which appears once here and is not repeated. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

The Verdict

The data only supports a measured analysis for the Intel Core 3 304. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores in the database, so any selection between the two must lean on the architecture specifications that are recorded. The Intel Core 3 304 is positioned in the 68th percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 13745, and its nearest rivals sit within a 1.4% band, which shows it competes in a dense performance cluster rather than standing apart.

The AMD part's 50th percentile placement and empty benchmark fields mean it cannot be compared on measured speed. Its architecture does show advantages on paper: 12 cores versus 5, 24 threads versus 5, a 2.00 GHz base clock versus 1.50 GHz, a 5.10 GHz boost clock versus 4.30 GHz, 16 MB of L3 cache versus 6 MB, dual-channel memory versus single-channel, higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 59.7 GB/s, ECC support, and 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus 6. These are substantial specification advantages, but without benchmark data they remain unverified in practice.

The Intel Core 3 304, by contrast, has verified workload scores that place it in the upper third of all CPUs. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 5263 and a single-core score of 1765, plus a PassMark multithread score of 11625 and a single-thread score of 3614. Its 15 W TDP is lower than the AMD part's 28 W TDP, which indicates a more power-conscious design.

Users who prioritize measured, recorded performance data will find the Intel Core 3 304 fully documented. Users who prioritize core count, thread count, memory bandwidth, ECC support, and PCIe lane availability will see those advantages in the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i, but the database offers no benchmark confirmation of how those specifications translate into workload results. The recorded data does not support a performance ranking between the two.
