AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

The Verdict

The database records show a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors. The Intel Core 5 213PE holds the decisive advantage across every recorded benchmark, with an average benchmark score of 35,428 against the AMD Ryzen 5 130's recorded average of 0. The Intel part also ranks in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile.

The Intel Core 5 213PE is the choice for any workload requiring sustained multi-core throughput, data compression, or encryption work. Its benchmark results place it within 0.4% of the Intel Core i7-12700K, a notable positioning for a Core 5 part. The AMD Ryzen 5 130, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores or rival comparisons in the database, which limits any quantitative assessment of its real-world capabilities. The data indicates the Intel processor delivers substantially higher measured performance across all tested categories, making it the default option for compute-heavy tasks. The AMD part's only clear advantage is its lower thermal design power and mobile form factor, which suits thin-and-light systems where absolute performance is secondary.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing generations. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 uses the Zen 3+ architecture on the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.55 GHz. Its thermal design power is 28 watts, which places it firmly in the mobile segment. The integrated graphics are Radeon 660M, and the socket is AMD Socket FP7.

The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Its thermal design power is 65 watts, and it targets the desktop segment with an Intel Socket 1700. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730.

The cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor's larger L2 and L3 allocations likely contribute to its higher single-thread and multi-thread scores.

Memory support also differs. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 supports only DDR5 memory, while the Intel Core 5 213PE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus with a recorded bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, and both support ECC memory. The PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), which gives the Intel processor a newer generation interface but fewer lanes.

The release dates also separate these parts: the AMD Ryzen 5 130 launched on September 30, 2025, while the Intel Core 5 213PE launched on March 8, 2026. Both are listed as Active in production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records benchmarks only for the Intel Core 5 213PE; the AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no recorded scores in any test category. Therefore, the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the Intel part's measured results and its position relative to its nearest rivals.

In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Intel Core 5 213PE scores 2,264, and in single-core it scores 319. For Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 9,436 and single-core is 1,332. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 22,468 and single-core is 3,172. These scores indicate strong scaling from single-thread to multi-thread workloads, with the multi-core R23 score being roughly seven times the single-core score.

PassMark results further detail the Intel part's strengths. In data compression, it scores 298,804; in data encryption, 15,916; and in extended instructions, 19,565. The integer math score is 92,089, while floating point math reaches 68,587. The multithread score is 26,434, and the single-thread score is 4,060. The physics test scores 1,624, and random string sorting scores 32,027. The find prime numbers test records a score of 114.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for these numbers. The Intel Core i7-13700T averages 35,403, which is 0.1% higher than the Core 5 213PE. The Intel Core i7-12700KF averages 35,365, a 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i5-13600T averages 35,305, a 0.3% difference, and the Intel Core i7-12700K averages 35,287, a 0.4% difference. These deltas show that the Core 5 213PE sits within a tight cluster of high-performing Intel parts, effectively matching the previous generation's i7-class desktop processors.

Since the AMD part has no benchmark entries, the only quantitative comparison available is the average benchmark score of 0 versus 35,428, and the percentile ranking of 50 versus 85. The data cannot show any specific workload where the AMD Ryzen 5 130 outperforms the Intel processor, because no such measurements exist in the database.
