The Verdict

The data presents two distinct mobile processors aimed at different workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i pairs 12 cores with 24 threads, a 5.10 GHz boost clock, 16 MB of L3 cache, and dual-channel memory support. Its 28 W TDP indicates a design that prioritizes throughput over strict power economy. The Intel Core 7 360 counters with 6 cores and 6 threads, a 4.80 GHz boost clock, 6 MB of shared L3 cache, and single-channel memory. Its 15 W TDP and 3 nm Intel process point toward a power-conscious design.

Benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 360 show a processor that sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 18,374. The nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i3-13100 with an average score of 18,380, the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345, the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318, and the Intel Core 3 305 at 18,302. The Core 7 360 is within 0.4 percent of each of these processors, meaning it operates in a tight band of comparable performance around the 18,300 to 18,380 score range.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, and its percentile versus all CPUs is listed at 50. Without measured scores, the database cannot place it against the Intel Core 7 360 or its rivals with numeric precision. The absence of benchmark data for the AMD part is the defining constraint of this comparison.

The recorded data indicates that the Intel Core 7 360 is the only one of the two with measurable performance results. Buyers selecting a processor with verified database scores should choose the Intel Core 7 360. The AMD part offers more cores, threads, cache, and memory bandwidth on paper, but the database contains no scores to confirm how those specifications translate into actual benchmark results. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i is the choice for workloads that demand high core counts and 24 threads, provided the user accepts that no measured scores support that decision.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The only benchmark results available are for the Intel Core 7 360, which has 17 recorded test scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel Core 7 360 scores 1,374 in multicore and 193 in single-core. Cinebench R20 results show 5,726 multicore and 808 single-core. Cinebench R23 records 13,634 multicore and 1,924 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that handles heavily threaded workloads with reasonable competence given its 6-core, 6-thread configuration.

Passmark results for the Intel Core 7 360 show a spread of specialized workloads. Data compression scores 142,877, while data encryption reaches 11,164. Extended instructions score 12,390, and finding prime numbers scores 120. Floating point math hits 44,963, while integer math scores 34,238. The multithread test records 15,544, and the physics test scores 1,213. Random string sorting scores 17,636, and the single-thread test records 4,274. The average benchmark score across all tests is 18,374.

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores in the database, there are no wins to attribute to it. The Intel Core 7 360 holds every recorded result by default. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in the head-to-head field, because no direct comparison tests were run. The practical interpretation is that the Intel Core 7 360 is the only processor in this pairing with verified performance data.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field in the database.

Core and thread counts: AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has 12 cores and 24 threads. Intel Core 7 360 has 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD part doubles the core count and quadruples the thread count.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Gorgon Point, using a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 7 360 belongs to the Core 5 generation built on Wildcat Lake. These are fundamentally different designs.

The AMD part uses a 4 nm process from TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel part uses a 3 nm process from Intel with no die size recorded. The AMD architecture relies on 12 cores and 24 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel architecture uses 6 cores and 6 threads with no multithreading, as evidenced by the thread count matching the core count.

Cache architecture differs substantially. AMD allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a shared 16 MB L3 pool. Intel allocates 192 KB of L1 per core and 2.5 MB of L2 per core, with a shared 6 MB L3. The Intel per-core cache is larger, but the AMD L3 pool is much larger overall. For workloads that rely on a large shared cache, the AMD part has the advantage. For workloads that benefit from per-core cache locality, the Intel part may respond faster.

Memory architecture also diverges. AMD uses a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth, while Intel uses a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which Intel does not. This makes the AMD part suitable for error-sensitive workloads. PCIe lane counts differ as well: AMD provides 16 Gen 4 lanes from the CPU, while Intel provides 6 Gen 4 lanes. Expansion capacity is clearly higher on the AMD side.

The integrated graphics differ in branding and configuration. AMD uses Radeon 890M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The database does not provide benchmark scores for either GPU, so relative graphics performance cannot be quantified.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in the database because it has 17 recorded benchmark scores and a 72nd percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 18,374 places it within 0.4 percent of four nearby rivals: the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380, the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345, the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318, and the Intel Core 3 305 at 18,302. The Core 7 360 effectively trades blows with these processors, sitting at or near parity with all of them. Its 15 W TDP makes it the lower-power option in this comparison, and its 3 nm process node gives it a manufacturing advantage in density and efficiency.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins on paper specifications. It offers 12 cores and 24 threads versus 6 cores and 6 threads, a 5.10 GHz boost clock versus 4.80 GHz, 16 MB of L3 cache versus 6 MB, and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth versus 59.7 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory and provides 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus 6. These specifications point toward workloads that scale with core count, thread count, memory bandwidth, and expansion capability. The 28 W TDP is higher than Intel's 15 W, but it reflects the greater resources on the AMD die.

For workloads such as heavy multitasking, virtualization, content creation with high thread utilization, or memory-bandwidth-sensitive tasks, the AMD part's dual-channel memory and 24 threads give it a structural advantage. For power-constrained mobile designs, the Intel part's 15 W TDP and verified benchmark results make it the safer selection. The absence of AMD benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm whether the AMD part's specifications translate into real performance gains. The Intel Core 7 360 is the only processor in this pairing with measured results, and it performs in line with established rivals like the Core i3-13100 and Core i3-14100.

The AMD part wins in theoretical capability, and the Intel part wins in verified performance data and power efficiency. The choice between them depends on whether the user prioritizes the AMD part's core count, cache size, and memory bandwidth, or the Intel part's measured scores, lower TDP, and launch MSRP of $426.
