AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core 7 250H Comparison

The Verdict

The Intel Core 7 250H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data, and that data is decisive. The database shows the Core 7 250H carrying an average benchmark score of 35728, placing it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs tracked. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark entries in the database, a 0 average score, and sits at the 50th percentile. For any workload measured by the database, the Intel part is the one that delivers measurable results.

The AMD chip should be selected when the requirement is for a low-power embedded processor with integrated Radeon graphics, ECC memory support, and a TSMC 4 nm process. The Intel chip should be selected when the requirement is for proven multi-core and single-core performance in a mobile package, as its Cinebench and PassMark scores demonstrate. The data does not support choosing the AMD part for raw compute throughput, because no such data exists for it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i uses the Gorgon Point codename with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation designation, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. The Intel Core 7 250H uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, built on Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD die measures 233 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD part has 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads, meaning Intel uses more physical cores but fewer threads. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Intel holds the clock advantage at both ends.

Cache organization also differs. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has more L2 per core and more total L3.

Memory support separates them further. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, plus ECC memory support. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, has no recorded bandwidth figure, and does not support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 8 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor uses the Radeon 890M. The Intel processor uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. Both are mobile-market parts, and both are currently in active production.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the AMD part has no individual benchmark scores. The Intel Core 7 250H, however, has a full set of recorded results. The analysis below interprets those results against the Intel processor's nearest rivals in the database.

In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Core 7 250H scores 3147. In single-core, it scores 298. These are the only Cinebench R15 numbers recorded. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 9697 and single-core is 1368. Cinebench R23 shows 16561 multi-core and 1931 single-core. The progression across R15, R20, and R23 shows consistent scaling, with the R23 multi-core score roughly 5.3 times the single-core score.

PassMark results add more detail. The single-thread score is 4148, and the multithread score is 27030. That represents a 6.5 times advantage for multithreaded work. Integer math scores 99100, floating point math scores 65094, and extended instructions score 17318. Data compression scores 303269, data encryption scores 18206, and random string sorting scores 34136. Physics scores 1824, and find prime numbers scores 106.

The nearest rival comparison places the Core 7 250H in a tight group. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 scores 35719, which is a 0 percent delta from the Intel chip's 35728 average. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H scores 35670, a 0.2 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 scores 35802, a -0.2 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X scores 35909, a -0.5 percent delta. The Core 7 250H sits essentially at parity with these four rivals, within half a percent in either direction. That positioning at the 85th percentile confirms it as a competitive mobile processor, not an outlier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 250H wins in every measured benchmark category because it is the only processor with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16561 and single-core score of 1931 demonstrate strong all-around compute. PassMark integer math at 99100 and floating point math at 65094 show balanced arithmetic capability. Data compression at 303269 is the highest individual PassMark score recorded for this chip, indicating a particular strength in compression workloads. The multithread score of 27030 versus single-thread of 4148 shows clear scaling for threaded applications.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins in areas that are not compute-bound. It supports ECC memory, which the Intel chip does not. It has a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 45 watts for the Intel chip, making it the more power-efficient choice for embedded deployments. It uses a 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm process. It supports LPDDR5X memory, which the Intel chip does not. Its Radeon 890M integrated graphics are a different offering from Intel's Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. For embedded use cases requiring ECC, lower power draw, and a smaller process node, the AMD part is the correct selection.
