Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i and Intel Core i3-14100 represent fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD part 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 part uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 163 mm².

Core organization differs sharply. The AMD processor packs 12 cores and 24 threads, a configuration suited for heavily parallel workloads. The Intel processor offers 4 cores and 8 threads, a more modest layout aimed at mainstream desktop tasks. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 1.25 MB per core. L3 cache also differs, with AMD offering 16 MB total and Intel offering 12 MB shared.

Memory support splits along platform lines. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a rated memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities also diverge. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon 890M, and Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD processor is classified as a mobile part on AMD Socket FP8, whereas the Intel processor is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip has a 28 W TDP, and the Intel chip has a 60 W TDP.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-14100 wins in the recorded benchmark data, but that data covers only the Intel side. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, so direct comparisons rely on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance.

The Intel processor wins on single-threaded frequency headroom in a practical sense: it has a base clock of 3.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for AMD, though AMD's boost clock of 5.10 GHz exceeds Intel's 4.70 GHz. The Intel part also benefits from a smaller die size at 163 mm² versus 233 mm², which can matter for thermal density and manufacturing economics, though the database does not provide thermal measurements.

The AMD processor wins on core count, thread count, and memory bandwidth. Twelve cores and 24 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads gives AMD a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, compilation, and virtualization. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth recorded for AMD versus no recorded figure for Intel suggests AMD has a stronger memory pipeline for data-intensive tasks.

The AMD processor also wins on power efficiency on paper, with a 28 W TDP versus 60 W for Intel. This makes the AMD part more suitable for compact or thermally constrained systems, while the Intel part targets conventional desktop power envelopes. The AMD chip uses a newer 4 nm process compared to Intel's 10 nm process, which typically improves transistor density and power characteristics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark entries, while the Intel Core i3-14100 has a full set of recorded scores. As a result, any head-to-head analysis must rely on what the Intel scores show and what the AMD specifications imply.

The Intel Core i3-14100's recorded scores establish its performance profile. In Cinebench R23, it scores 12820 multicore and 1809 singlecore. In Geekbench, it scores 7231 multicore and 2133 singlecore. PassMark results include 15095 for multithread, 3759 for single thread, 45329 for integer math, 35266 for floating point math, 174115 for data compression, 8838 for data encryption, 11865 for extended instructions, 17397 for random string sorting, 958 for physics, and 55 for find prime numbers.

These Intel figures place the i3-14100 in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 18318. Its nearest rivals in the database are tightly clustered: the Intel Core 3 305 scores 18302 (0.1% behind), the Intel Core 5 330 scores 18345 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Core 7 360 scores 18374 (0.3% ahead), and the Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380 (0.3% ahead). This grouping shows that the i3-14100 sits in a competitive band where small score differences separate adjacent models.

For the AMD part, the absence of benchmark scores means the database records zero wins for AMD and zero wins for Intel in the head-to-head field. The AMD processor's 50th percentile ranking reflects its position relative to all CPUs, but without measured scores, the percentile is not tied to any specific benchmark output.

The practical reading of this data is that the Intel processor's measured performance is known and competitive within its class, while the AMD processor's performance is not quantified. The AMD part's 12 cores and 24 threads would likely favor multi-threaded tests if they were recorded, but such speculation does not belong in a data-driven analysis. The recorded data shows only Intel scores, and those scores define the measurable performance landscape.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split in intended use. The Intel Core i3-14100 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results, and those results place it in the 72nd percentile with an average score of 18318. Its 4 cores and 8 threads, 3.50 GHz base clock, and 4.70 GHz boost clock make it a conventional desktop processor. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.3% of its score, include the Intel Core 3 305, Intel Core 5 330, Intel Core 7 360, and Intel Core i3-13100. This indicates the i3-14100 competes in a narrow performance band where no single model dominates.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be verified from the database. What the data does show is a processor with 12 cores, 24 threads, a 2.00 GHz base clock, a 5.10 GHz boost clock, and a 28 W TDP. It is built on a 4 nm process, supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and uses Radeon 890M graphics. These specifications point to a mobile, embedded, power-conscious design rather than a desktop performance part.

The Intel processor is the pick for anyone who needs measured, verified performance in a desktop context. The recorded Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark scores give it a concrete performance identity. The AMD processor is the pick for systems where core count, thread count, and power envelope matter more than recorded benchmark data. Its 28 W TDP and 12-core configuration suit embedded or mobile deployments where the 60 W Intel part would draw more power.

Neither processor can be declared a performance winner from the database, because the AMD part lacks measured scores. The Intel part wins on data completeness and percentile ranking. The AMD part wins on core count, thread count, and rated memory bandwidth. The choice depends on whether the workload prioritizes the measured desktop performance of the i3-14100 or the architectural headroom of the P185i.
