AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded benchmark data splits these two mobile processors along clear architectural lines. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 wins 4 of the 17 head-to-head tests, while the Intel Core 7 350 takes 13. However, the average benchmark scores tell a closer story: the Intel part averages 17779 points versus 17321 for the AMD part, a gap of roughly 2.6%. Both sit at the 71st percentile against all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core 7 350 is the stronger all-round performer for single-threaded workloads and most compute-heavy tasks. Its single-core results are consistently ahead, from a 45.5% advantage in Cinebench R15 single-core to a 9.2% lead in PassMark single-thread. The AMD Ryzen 3 210, by contrast, wins the most important modern multi-threaded test, Cinebench R23 multi-core, by 39.5%, and also leads in integer math, data compression, and random string sorting.

For buyers who run heavily threaded modern rendering, the Ryzen 3 210 is the data-backed choice. For everything else, particularly general productivity, physics simulation, and floating-point work, the Intel Core 7 350 dominates. The Intel chip also carries a launch MSRP of $469, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 uses TSMC's 4 nm process with 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 350 uses Intel's own 3 nm process, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Core configurations diverge sharply. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, running a 3.00 GHz base clock with a 4.70 GHz boost. The Intel chip has 6 cores and 6 threads, meaning no hyperthreading, with a much lower 1.50 GHz base clock but a higher 4.80 GHz boost. The Intel part uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation, while the AMD part is Zen 4 under the Hawk Point codename.

Cache hierarchies are structured differently. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel allocates 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, but only 6 MB of shared L3. The larger per-core L2 on the Intel side gives it more private cache per physical core, while the AMD design pools a larger L3.

Memory support is a major differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 3 210 uses dual-channel DDR5 with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 7 350 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X but runs single-channel, capping its memory bandwidth at 59.7 GB/s. That is a 33% bandwidth deficit for the Intel part. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip exposes Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, the Intel chip only 6 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. AMD pairs the CPU with a Radeon 740M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Neither part supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. Both are active mobile parts. The AMD processor released on 2025-01-05, while the Intel processor has a recorded release date of 2026-04-15.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 350 wins the majority of tests, and its victories cluster in two areas: single-thread performance and floating-point or encryption workloads. In Cinebench R15 single-core it scores 292 versus 159, a 45.5% lead. In Cinebench R20 single-core it scores 758 versus 664, a 12.4% lead. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 2046 versus 1581, a 22.7% lead. PassMark single-thread confirms the pattern at 4100 versus 3724, a 9.2% advantage.

Physics simulation goes to Intel at 1173 versus 821, a 30% lead. Data encryption favors Intel at 10933 versus 8607, a 21.3% lead. Extended instructions also go Intel's way, 12045 versus 11464, a 4.8% lead.

Multi-threaded Cinebench results are split by generation. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel wins 1220 versus 1128, a 7.5% lead. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, Intel wins 5373 versus 4703, a 12.5% lead. But in Cinebench R23 multi-core, the AMD Ryzen 3 210 takes a decisive 39.5% win, scoring 11198 versus 8030. PassMark multi-thread goes to Intel at 15170 versus 13585, a 10.4% lead.

The AMD wins are fewer but concentrated. Besides the R23 multi-core result, it leads in integer math with 37933 versus 33734, a 12.4% edge. Data compression goes AMD's way at 152017 versus 143123, a 6.2% lead. Random string sorting favors AMD at 19454 versus 17238, a 12.9% lead.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite reveals an unusual split. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Intel Core 7 350 scores 1220 against 1128 for the AMD Ryzen 3 210, a 7.5% lead. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, Intel extends that to 5373 versus 4703, a 12.5% lead. But in Cinebench R23 multi-core, the results invert completely. The AMD chip scores 11198 against Intel's 8030, a 39.5% margin. This suggests the AMD part scales better under the longer, heavier R23 workload, despite losing the shorter R15 and R20 runs.

Single-core Cinebench results are uniformly in Intel's favor. The R15 test shows 292 versus 159, a 45.5% gap, the largest single-core delta in the entire comparison. R20 shows 758 versus 664, a 12.4% gap. R23 shows 2046 versus 1581, a 22.7% gap. The Intel chip's higher 4.80 GHz boost clock likely contributes to these wins, though the database does not record clock-by-clock efficiency data.

PassMark tests add further texture. The Intel chip wins PassMark multi-thread at 15170 versus 13585, a 10.4% lead, even though the AMD chip has 8 threads against Intel's 6. In PassMark physics, Intel leads 1173 versus 821, a 30% margin. In floating-point math, Intel scores 42809 versus 23649, a 44.8% lead, its second-largest win overall. Prime number finding shows Intel at 107 versus 49, a 54.2% lead, the largest margin in the entire head-to-head set.

The AMD chip answers in integer-heavy and memory-sensitive tasks. PassMark integer math goes AMD's way at 37933 versus 33734, a 12.4% lead. Data compression favors AMD at 152017 versus 143123, a 6.2% edge. Random string sorting gives AMD a 12.9% win at 19454 versus 17238. Data encryption, however, goes to Intel at 10933 versus 8607, a 21.3% lead, and extended instructions go to Intel at 12045 versus 11464, a modest 4.8% margin.

Overall, the head-to-head count stands at 13 wins for the Intel Core 7 350 and 4 for the AMD Ryzen 3 210. The average scores confirm the Intel part as the higher-rated processor in the database, but the AMD chip's R23 multi-core result and its wins in integer math, compression, and sorting show that the 4-core, 8-thread design retains clear strengths in specific workloads.
