AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core 5 210H Comparison

The Verdict

The Intel Core 5 210H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores, and those scores place it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. For any workload where measured performance matters, the Intel part is the only option with data to support a decision.

The AMD part offers architectural advantages on paper: 12 cores and 24 threads versus 8 cores and 12 threads, a newer 4 nm process node versus Intel's 10 nm node, and a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.80 GHz. But without any benchmark results for the AMD chip, those specifications cannot be translated into actual performance figures. The Intel Core 5 210H, by contrast, has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results that show consistent, competitive scores against its nearest rivals.

Choose the Intel Core 5 210H if you need a processor with verified performance data, especially for multi-threaded workloads where its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11830 and PassMark multithread score of 18252 give concrete reference points. Choose the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i only if the feature set matters more than measured performance, such as the need for ECC memory support, which the Intel part lacks, or if the higher core count and thread count are critical for planning purposes despite the absence of benchmark confirmation.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i is built on the Gorgon Point codename, using a hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5c core configuration. This architecture is manufactured on a 4 nm process node by TSMC. The die size is 233 mm². The cache layout uses 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The memory controller supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported. The integrated graphics solution is the Radeon 890M.

The Intel Core 5 210H uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-H codename from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process node by Intel. The cache layout uses 80 KB of L1 per core and 2 MB of L2 per core, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The memory controller supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is not supported. The integrated graphics solution is the Iris Xe Graphics 48EU.

The architectural differences matter for specific use cases. The AMD part uses a smaller process node, which typically indicates better power efficiency per transistor, though no power efficiency measurements are available in the database. The AMD part also has a larger L3 cache at 16 MB versus 12 MB, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. The Intel part has a larger L2 cache per core at 2 MB versus 1 MB, which can benefit workloads with high per-core data locality.

The PCIe support differs significantly. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while the Intel Core 5 210H provides PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes. PCIe Gen 5 doubles the per-lane bandwidth compared to Gen 4, so the Intel part's 8 Gen 5 lanes offer the same total bandwidth as 16 Gen 4 lanes in theory, though the AMD part has more lanes available for expansion.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results comparing the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i directly against the Intel Core 5 210H. All recorded benchmark scores belong exclusively to the Intel Core 5 210H. The AMD part has an empty benchmark array and an average benchmark score of 0.

For the Intel Core 5 210H, the recorded data shows a range of performance across different test suites. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 1757 and the single-core score is 247. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 6504 and the single-core score is 918. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 11830 and the single-core score is 1771.

In PassMark tests, the Intel Core 5 210H achieves a multithread score of 18252 and a single-thread score of 3539. The data compression score is 217805, data encryption is 12187, extended instructions is 13370, find prime numbers is 53, floating point math is 45057, integer math is 61503, physics is 1040, and random string sorting is 23451.

The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 24872. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 77, meaning it outperforms 77 percent of all processors in the database. The nearest rivals show tight clustering: the Intel Core i7-13620H has an average score of 24911 with a delta of negative 0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX has an average score of 24822 with a delta of positive 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i7-11850H has an average score of 24935 with a delta of negative 0.3 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average score of 24964 with a delta of negative 0.4 percent. These deltas indicate that the Intel Core 5 210H performs within 0.4 percent of all four nearest rivals, making it statistically equivalent to that group.

The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11830 indicates strong multi-threaded throughput. The single-core score of 1771 indicates moderate single-thread performance. The PassMark multithread score of 18252 and single-thread score of 3539 provide additional confirmation of the same pattern: the processor handles multi-threaded workloads well, while single-threaded performance is adequate but not exceptional.

The data encryption score of 12187 and the extended instructions score of 13370 suggest that the Intel part handles cryptographic and SIMD workloads competently. The integer math score of 61503 and floating point math score of 45057 show a clear gap in favor of integer operations. The physics score of 1040 is relatively low compared to other PassMark subtests, which may indicate weaker performance in physics simulation workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 210H wins in every measured category because it is the only processor with recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score of 24872 places it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.4 percent of its score. This means that for any workload measured by the database, the Intel part has demonstrated performance, while the AMD part has no data to claim any victory.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel Core 5 210H shows strength. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11830 and the PassMark multithread score of 18252 indicate solid throughput in rendering, encoding, and other parallel tasks. The data compression score of 217805 is particularly high, suggesting strong performance in compression and archiving workloads.

For single-threaded workloads, the Intel part shows moderate performance. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1771 and the PassMark single-thread score of 3539 indicate that lightly threaded applications will run acceptably but not at the top tier of performance.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins on paper specifications that have not been verified by benchmarks. The 12 cores and 24 threads versus 8 cores and 12 threads suggest the AMD part should outperform in heavily threaded scenarios, but no data confirms this. The 5.10 GHz boost clock versus 4.80 GHz suggests a single-thread advantage, but no data confirms this either. The 16 MB L3 cache versus 12 MB suggests an advantage for cache-sensitive workloads, but again, no data confirms this.

The AMD part also wins on features that do not require benchmarks. ECC memory support gives it an advantage for error-sensitive computing environments. The 4 nm process node from TSMC suggests better power efficiency than the 10 nm Intel node, though no power measurements are recorded. The 28 watt TDP versus 45 watts indicates the AMD part is designed for lower power envelopes, which could be an advantage in thermally constrained systems.

The Intel Core 5 210H wins on availability of data, which is the only kind of win that can be verified. The 77th percentile ranking, the average benchmark score of 24872, and the full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results give builders concrete numbers to plan around. The AMD part offers no such numbers, so its theoretical advantages remain theoretical.

For a builder who needs verified performance, the Intel Core 5 210H is the only choice supported by the database. For a builder who prioritizes ECC memory support, higher core count, or lower TDP and is willing to accept unverified performance, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has the specifications that could matter, but the absence of benchmark data means any performance expectation is speculative.
