AMD Ryzen 3 210 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 366H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a complete sweep in head-to-head comparisons: the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H wins all 17 benchmark comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 3 210. No single test favors the Ryzen 3 210. The magnitude of the Intel wins, however, varies widely depending on the workload category.

In multi-threaded rendering tests, the Intel part dominates. Cinebench R23 multicore results show the Core Ultra 7 366H scoring 28,477 against 11,198 for the Ryzen 3 210, a 60.7% advantage. The same 60.7% delta appears across Cinebench R15 multicore (2,870 vs 1,128), R20 multicore (11,960 vs 4,703), and even the single-core variants of all three Cinebench releases. The single-core deltas are also 60.7% in Cinebench R15 (405 vs 159), R20 (1,688 vs 664), and R23 (4,020 vs 1,581). This consistent 60.7% margin across both single-threaded and multi-threaded Cinebench tests indicates a substantial per-core performance gap, not merely a core-count advantage.

The PassMark suite reveals a different pattern. The narrowest margin appears in PassMark single-thread tests, where the Intel part scores 4,043 versus 3,724 for the AMD, a 7.9% difference. That is the closest result in the entire head-to-head set. PassMark integer math shows a 54.7% Intel lead (83,695 vs 37,933), while floating-point math shows a much larger 77.2% gap (103,615 vs 23,649). PassMark data compression favors Intel by 53.6% (327,455 vs 152,017). Data encryption shows a 66.7% Intel lead (25,845 vs 8,607). Extended instructions score 26,901 for Intel against 11,464 for AMD, a 57.4% difference. PassMark random string sorting shows a 51.1% gap (39,814 vs 19,454). PassMark multithread results give Intel 33,429 versus 13,585, a 59.4% difference. The largest single delta in the dataset is PassMark find prime numbers, where Intel scores 326 versus 49, a 85% gap. PassMark physics also shows a wide margin: 2,880 for Intel versus 821 for AMD, a 71.5% difference.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture. The Ryzen 3 210 has an average score of 17,321, while the Core Ultra 7 366H averages 41,263. The Ryzen 3 210 sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database; the Core Ultra 7 366H sits at the 87th percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H wins in every recorded workload category, but the size of its advantage defines the use-case story. For heavily parallel floating-point workloads, the Intel part is exceptionally strong: the 77.2% lead in PassMark floating-point math, combined with the 71.5% lead in PassMark physics and the 60.7% margin across all Cinebench multicore tests, points to a processor that is far better suited to rendering, scientific computation, and physics simulation. The 85% gap in find prime numbers, a workload that stresses integer throughput and branch handling, further confirms the Intel part's dominance in compute-heavy single-threaded loops.

The Ryzen 3 210's best showing is in PassMark single-thread performance, where the 7.9% deficit is modest. This suggests that for lightly threaded, latency-sensitive tasks, the two processors are comparatively close. The Ryzen 3 210 also keeps the gap under 60% in several integer-heavy PassMark tests: integer math at 54.7% behind, data compression at 53.6% behind, and random string sorting at 51.1% behind. These are the areas where the AMD part is least disadvantaged.

The Core Ultra 7 366H's largest advantages cluster in floating-point and encryption work. The 77.2% floating-point lead and 66.7% encryption lead both exceed its 60.7% Cinebench margins. The Ryzen 3 210, by contrast, shows its relatively best results in single-threaded PassMark tests and in data compression, where its deficit is around half of its average benchmark gap.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 210 in every single recorded benchmark, with an average benchmark score of 41,263 versus 17,321, a 58% overall gap. The Core Ultra 7 366H also ranks higher in the database, at the 87th percentile versus the 71st percentile for the Ryzen 3 210.

The nearest rival data places each processor in its own competitive tier. The Ryzen 3 210's closest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (avg 17,333, 0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (avg 17,278, 0.2% behind), Intel Core 7 150U (avg 17,395, 0.4% ahead), and Intel Core i5-12450H (avg 17,239, 0.5% behind), all sit within a narrow band around its score. The Core Ultra 7 366H, meanwhile, sits alongside the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (avg 41,215, 0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 (avg 41,208, 0.1% ahead), AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (avg 41,376, 0.3% ahead), and Intel Core Ultra X7 358H (avg 40,967, 0.7% behind). These two clusters do not overlap.

A buyer constrained to the Ryzen 3 210's performance tier is getting a processor that competes with the Ryzen 5 4500 and Core i5-12450H. A buyer looking at the Core Ultra 7 366H is getting performance comparable to the Ryzen 9 5900X, a desktop-class part. The Core Ultra 7 366H is the clear choice for any workload that benefits from the recorded benchmark advantages. The Ryzen 3 210 offers no recorded win in any category, so the verdict follows the data: the Core Ultra 7 366H is the superior processor across all tested workloads.
