AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core 7 240H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 240H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning its average benchmark score sits at 0 with a 50th percentile ranking across all CPUs. This makes a direct head-to-head comparison impossible on raw numbers, but the Intel part's data provides a reference point for what the AMD processor is competing against.

The Intel Core 7 240H posts an average benchmark score of 31,483, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 with an average score of 31,473 (a 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX at 31,495 (also 0% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H at 31,508 (0.1% faster), and the Intel Core i5-13500 at 31,510 (0.1% faster). The recorded data shows the 240H sits in a tightly clustered performance band where the top rival is less than one tenth of one percent ahead.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel processor scores 2,360 in multi-core and 249 in single-core. Cinebench R20 results show 8,562 multi-core and 1,208 single-core. The newer Cinebench R23 workload records 15,764 multi-core and 1,719 single-core. These scores scale consistently across versions, indicating a stable performance profile under both lightly threaded and heavily threaded loads.

PassMark results break down further. The Intel part achieves 271,774 in data compression, 15,155 in data encryption, 16,897 in extended instructions, and 102 in prime number finding. Floating point math scores 58,905, while integer math hits 80,396. The multithread score is 23,975, physics processing reaches 1,723, and random string sorting produces 28,866. Single-thread performance is recorded at 3,782 in two separate PassMark entries.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 240H, by contrast, uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD part provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel chip offers 10 cores and 16 threads. The AMD processor therefore has 20% more cores and 50% more threads, which typically favors heavily parallel workloads. Base clocks show the Intel part starting at 2.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for AMD, but boost clocks are nearly identical: 5.20 GHz for Intel and 5.10 GHz for AMD.

Cache layouts diverge. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 per core on the AMD side versus 2 MB per core for Intel. The L3 cache totals 16 MB on the AMD chip, while the Intel processor carries 24 MB of shared L3. This gives Intel a 50% advantage in last-level cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X across a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC capability. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 on dual-channel memory but has no recorded bandwidth figure and no ECC support.

PCIe connectivity also separates the two. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes. The newer PCIe standard on Intel offers higher per-lane bandwidth, though AMD's higher lane count provides more total connectivity. Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses the Radeon 890M, while Intel ships Iris Xe Graphics with 64 execution units.

The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $502. The AMD processor has no recorded launch MSRP. Both are mobile-segment parts in active production. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1744. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, but the Intel part carries a known part number (SRQ6TQ5ML) while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown. The Intel processor was released on December 17, 2024, and the AMD processor on February 28, 2026.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 240H wins wherever measured performance is the criterion, since it is the only part with recorded data. Its 82nd percentile ranking puts it ahead of roughly four out of five CPUs in the database, and its average score of 31,483 places it in a dead heat with the Intel Core Ultra 3 205, AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, and Intel Core i5-13500 across a 0.1% spread.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins on paper specifications relevant to specific workloads. Its 12-core, 24-thread configuration gives it a structural advantage for parallel processing tasks, and its 4 nm TSMC process node indicates a more advanced manufacturing process than Intel's 10 nm node. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which the Intel chip does not, making it suited for reliability-sensitive embedded deployments. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth figure on AMD gives it a documented throughput advantage, whereas Intel has no recorded bandwidth.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the Intel chip's higher 5.20 GHz boost clock and 2.50 GHz base clock give it a slight clock-speed edge over AMD's 5.10 GHz boost and 2.00 GHz base. The Intel part's larger 24 MB L3 cache also suggests an advantage in cache-sensitive applications, though the database records no comparative benchmark to confirm this.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear division of roles. The Intel Core 7 240H is the only processor with measurable performance, and its 82nd percentile ranking with a 31,483 average score confirms it as a solid mid-to-upper mobile processor. Its 16 threads, 5.20 GHz boost clock, and 24 MB L3 cache make it a reasonable choice for general mobile computing where the workload is already defined and benchmark data matters.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i, despite lacking benchmark scores, carries a specification sheet that targets a different niche. Its 24 threads, 4 nm process, ECC memory support, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth position it for embedded applications where reliability and parallel throughput are prioritized over single-thread speed. The absence of recorded benchmarks in the database, however, means its real-world performance cannot be verified from current data.

Users who need verified performance numbers today should look to the Intel Core 7 240H. Users whose workloads demand ECC memory, maximum thread counts, or the lower-power embedded design of the AMD part will find those features only on the Ryzen AI Embedded P185i. The Intel chip's 45 W TDP versus AMD's 28 W TDP also indicates a lower power envelope for the AMD part, though the database records no efficiency benchmarks to quantify the difference.
