The data shows no workload in the shared set where the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 pulls ahead. Even the single-thread result, which is often the closest contest between different designs, belongs to Intel. The Intel part also has a significant average score advantage: 35428 versus 25981. Its nearest rival by average score is the Intel Core i7-13700T at 35403, a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Core i7-12700KF at 35365, a 0.2% delta. The AMD part's nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-14701TE at 26013, with AMD 0.1% behind, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE at 25880, with AMD 0.4% ahead.

The Verdict

Benchmark results indicate that the Intel Core 5 213PE is the stronger processor in every recorded performance test. It wins all 15 head-to-head benchmarks, has a higher average score of 35428 versus 25981, and ranks in the 85th percentile of all CPUs compared with the AMD part's 78th percentile. The Intel part's closest average-score rival is the Intel Core i7-13700T at 35403, while the AMD part's closest rival is the Intel Core i7-14701TE at 26013. In other words, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 sits in a lower performance tier by the database's aggregate scoring.

For workloads represented by the recorded benchmark set, the data points to the Intel Core 5 213PE. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 does not win any shared test, and its margins behind Intel range from 9.3% in PassMark single thread to 44.2% in Cinebench R23 multicore. The AMD part's only measured advantages are platform-level, not benchmark-level: a 28W TDP versus 65W, a mobile socket, and a different integrated graphics solution. Those traits do not appear in the head-to-head scores, so they do not change the verdict within the benchmark data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ substantially in core configuration, process technology, cache, memory support, and platform positioning. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel Core 5 213PE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Intel has two more cores and four more threads, which aligns with its strong multi-threaded benchmark results.

The AMD part is built on Zen 5 architecture with the Krackan Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation with Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC and has a die size of 195 mm². The Intel part uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. It uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm.

Cache layouts also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L2 and L3 allocations on the Intel side are consistent with its higher integer, floating point, and multi-thread scores.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 213PE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Intel supports ECC memory, while AMD does not. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics are also different. AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The power targets differ by a wide margin: AMD has a 28W TDP, and Intel has a 65W TDP. Release dates in the database place the AMD part at 2025-01-05 and the Intel part at 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221; the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Where Each One Wins

Within the recorded head-to-head benchmarks, the Intel Core 5 213PE wins every test. That includes multi-threaded workloads such as Cinebench R23 multicore, PassMark multithread, and PassMark integer math. It also includes single-threaded workloads such as Cinebench R23 single-core, Cinebench R15 single-core, and PassMark single thread. Data compression, data encryption, floating point math, physics, prime number search, random string sorting, and extended instructions all favor Intel as well. There is no measured benchmark where the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 takes the lead.

The AMD part's case rests on platform characteristics rather than benchmark wins. It has a 28W TDP, a mobile socket, a Radeon 840M integrated GPU, and higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s. Those attributes are relevant to low-power and mobile system designs, but they do not translate into a single recorded performance win against the Intel Core 5 213PE. The Intel part, by contrast, combines more cores, more threads, higher clocks, larger L2 and L3 cache, ECC support, PCIe Gen 5, and a desktop socket with a decisive lead across every shared benchmark.
