AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The comparison between the AMD Ryzen 3 210 and the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 is complicated by a significant data gap: the database contains no recorded benchmark scores for the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, while the Ryzen 3 210 has a substantial set of measurements across Cinebench and Passmark tests. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has a percentile ranking of 50 among all CPUs, but with no actual benchmark entries, this percentile cannot be validated against direct workload results.

The Ryzen 3 210, by contrast, delivers a full suite of scores. In Cinebench R23, it records 11,198 for multi-core and 1,581 for single-core. Its Cinebench R20 results are 4,703 multi-core and 664 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 1,128 multi-core and 159 single-core. Passmark scores include 37,933 in integer math, 23,649 in floating point math, 13,585 in multithread, and 3,724 in single-thread. The data compression test yields 152,017, data encryption 8,607, extended instructions 11,464, physics 821, and random string sorting 19,454. The find prime numbers test returns 49.

Without any head-to-head entries, the database provides no direct comparison points. The Ryzen 3 210 holds 0 wins in the head-to-head tally, and the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 also holds 0 wins. Every quantitative comparison must therefore rely on architectural specifications rather than measured performance deltas. The Ryzen 3 210 sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,321. Its nearest rivals show how tightly clustered this performance level is: the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 averages 17,333 (a delta of -0.1%), the Intel Core 7 150U averages 17,395 (-0.4%), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G averages 17,278 (+0.2%), and the Intel Core i5-12450H averages 17,239 (+0.5%). These deltas are all within 0.5%, indicating the Ryzen 3 210 sits in a dense performance neighborhood where no single rival holds a commanding edge.

The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no such rival data. Its percentile of 50 suggests a mid-pack position, but the absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm where its performance actually lands relative to the Ryzen 3 210 or any other processor. The only definitive statement from the recorded data is that the Ryzen 3 210 has measured results and the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 does not.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 3 210 wins in any scenario where measured performance is required. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,198 and single-core score of 1,581 provide concrete reference points for productivity workloads. Passmark results cover integer and floating point math, encryption, compression, physics, and sorting tasks, all of which show the processor completing work at measurable rates. For software that relies on single-threaded execution, the 3,724 Passmark single-thread score and the 1,581 Cinebench R23 single-core score indicate capable per-core performance. For multithreaded workloads, the 13,585 Passmark multithread score and 11,198 Cinebench R23 multi-core score demonstrate the contribution of its 4 cores and 8 threads.

The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, based on its specifications, is positioned for workloads that can exploit its larger core count and memory subsystem. It provides 8 cores and 16 threads, double the Ryzen 3 210 in both respects. It also supports quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to the dual-channel DDR5 and 89.6 GB/s of the Ryzen 3 210. The database records no benchmark scores for this processor, so any assertion about its real-world wins must remain strictly speculative. The data shows no wins for either part in the head-to-head tally.

For the Ryzen 3 210, the benchmark results align with its nearest rival cluster. Its average benchmark score of 17,321 is within 0.5% of four other processors, meaning it neither clearly wins nor clearly loses against the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, Intel Core 7 150U, AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, or Intel Core i5-12450H. The largest delta in that group is 0.5%, which is negligible in practical terms. This positions the Ryzen 3 210 as a mid-range mobile processor whose measured performance is highly competitive with its immediate peers.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in architecture. The Ryzen 3 210 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, while the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 belongs to the Zen 5 generation under the Gorgon Halo codename. Both are built on TSMC's 4 nm process, so the fabrication node is identical. The Ryzen 3 210 has a die size of 137 mm² and 20,900 million transistors, whereas the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has a die size of 70.6 mm², and the database does not record its transistor count. The smaller die for the higher-core part is notable, though the missing transistor data prevents a full comparison of density.

Core and cache configurations diverge sharply. The Ryzen 3 210 has 4 cores and 8 threads, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has 8 cores and 16 threads, with 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. The L3 difference is fourfold, which can materially affect workloads with larger working sets. The L1 per-core increase from 64 KB to 80 KB also gives the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 a per-core cache advantage.

Clock speeds and power targets differ as well. The Ryzen 3 210 has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a TDP of 28 W. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a TDP of 55 W. The higher clocks and nearly double TDP suggest the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 is designed to sustain heavier workloads, while the Ryzen 3 210 targets lower power envelopes.

Memory architecture is another major split. The Ryzen 3 210 uses DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC support. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses LPDDR5X on a quad-channel bus with 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth and supports ECC memory. The bandwidth difference is substantial, with the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 offering over three times the memory throughput. PCIe connectivity also differs: the Ryzen 3 210 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes, while the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes. Both use the same PCIe generation, but the latter has two additional lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 3 210 includes a Radeon 740M, while the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 includes a Radeon 8050S. The database records no benchmark scores for either GPU, so no performance comparison is possible. Sockets are different: the Ryzen 3 210 uses AMD Socket FP7, and the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses AMD Socket FP11. Both are mobile parts and both are currently in active production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Ryzen 3 210 was released on 2025-01-05, while the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has a release date of 2026-05-19.
