AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core 5 211E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a very one-sided comparison between the AMD Ryzen 5 130 and the Intel Core 5 211E. The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two specific processors, so this analysis relies on the verified benchmark suite recorded for the Intel Core 5 211E and the architectural characteristics of the AMD Ryzen 5 130 as listed in the database.

The Intel Core 5 211E has a substantial multi-core performance profile. In Cinebench R23, the processor records a multi-core score of 20389 and a single-core score of 2878. Cinebench R20 results show 8563 for multi-core and 1208 for single-core. Cinebench R15 results show 2055 for multi-core and 289 for single-core. These figures establish a consistent pattern across three generations of the Cinebench test suite.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 211E cover a broad range of workloads. The multi-thread test yields 23833, while the single-thread test yields 4006. Integer math scores 88117, floating point math scores 66402, and extended instructions score 21592. Data compression scores 346757, data encryption scores 17938, and random string sorting scores 34308. The physics test returns 702 and the find prime numbers test returns 43.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no benchmark entries recorded in the database. Its avgBenchmarkScore is 0 and its percentileVsAllCpus is 50. The Intel Core 5 211E holds a percentileVsAllCpus of 86 and an avgBenchmarkScore of 37829. The absence of recorded performance data for the AMD part means the database cannot confirm any workload category where the Ryzen 5 130 might take a win.

The Intel Core 5 211E's nearest rivals in the database are all AMD or Intel embedded and mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37804, which is 0.1% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 37762, which is 0.2% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37904, which is 0.2% ahead. The Intel Core i9-14901E scores 37911, which is 0.2% ahead. The Intel Core 5 211E sits in a tight cluster where the entire spread from the lowest rival to the highest rival is only 149 points, roughly 0.4% of the average score.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 5 211E is the only one of these two processors with verified performance results in the database. Its percentileVsAllCpus of 86 places it well above the AMD Ryzen 5 130's percentileVsAllCpus of 50. The AMD part has an avgBenchmarkScore of 0, meaning no benchmark data has been recorded for it. Any claim of performance superiority for the AMD Ryzen 5 130 would not be supported by the database.

The Intel Core 5 211E also has a higher core and thread count. It provides 10 cores and 16 threads, while the AMD Ryzen 5 130 provides 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part boosts to 4.90 GHz versus 4.55 GHz for the AMD part. The base clocks are closer, with the Intel part at 2.70 GHz and the AMD part at 2.90 GHz. The Intel part has a higher boost clock by 0.35 GHz, while the AMD part has a higher base clock by 0.20 GHz.

The Intel Core 5 211E carries a launch MSRP of $221. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

For users choosing strictly on recorded benchmark evidence, the Intel Core 5 211E is the only option with measurable performance data. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 cannot be positioned against it using the database, because no benchmarks exist for the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211E wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements. The Cinebench suite covers both multi-core and single-core rendering workloads, and the Intel part shows strong results in both. The PassMark suite covers integer math, floating point math, extended instructions, data compression, data encryption, random string sorting, physics, and prime number finding. All of these have recorded scores for the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no recorded wins in the database. Its winsA field is 0 and the Intel Core 5 211E's winsB field is 0, which is consistent with the absence of headToHeadBenchmarks entries. The database does not contain any test where the AMD part outperforms the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 does have some architectural advantages that could matter in specific scenarios, but no benchmark data confirms these translate into performance wins. It uses a 6 nm process node from TSMC, compared to Intel's 10 nm node for the Core 5 211E. It has a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 65 watts for the Intel part. It uses DDR5 memory exclusively, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. It has 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, while the Intel part has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes.

The Intel Core 5 211E offers a larger L3 cache at 20 MB shared, versus 16 MB shared for the AMD part. The Intel part also has a larger L2 cache at 2 MB per core, versus 512 KB per core for the AMD part. The Intel part has a larger L1 cache at 80 KB per core, versus 64 KB per core for the AMD part. The Intel die size is 257 mm², while the AMD die size is 210 mm².
