AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data records 15 direct comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and the Intel Core 5 213PTE. The Intel part wins 14 of them, with a single narrow victory for AMD. The most decisive Intel leads appear in multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 21751 against AMD's 12532, a 42.4% advantage. The gap is nearly identical in PassMark floating point math, where Intel posts 71722 versus 39967, a 44.3% lead. PassMark physics shows a 50.2% difference (2199 vs 1095), and prime number finding shows a 54.1% gap (157 vs 72). These are the largest deltas in the entire comparison.

Single-core results are closer but still favor Intel. In Cinebench R23 single-core, Intel leads by 37.6% (3070 vs 1915.5). PassMark single-thread scores are nearly identical: 3718 for Intel versus 3683 for AMD, a delta of just 0.9%. Cinebench R15 single-core shows a 21.5% Intel lead (309 vs 242.6), while R15 multi-core shows a 12.6% gap (2192 vs 1915).

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 takes exactly one benchmark: PassMark extended instructions, scoring 16440 against Intel's 16146, a 1.8% margin. This is the only recorded test where AMD comes out ahead. Intel wins the remaining workloads by margins ranging from 12% (data compression) to 54.1% (find prime numbers). Data encryption shows a 20.4% gap, random string sorting a 17.1% gap, integer math a 32.3% gap, and multithread a 23.8% gap.

Aggregate scores confirm the overall picture. The Intel Core 5 213PTE carries an average benchmark score of 32924, placing it at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 averages 25981, at the 78th percentile. Intel's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700 (delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (delta +0.3%), AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (delta -0.5%), and AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (delta -0.5%). AMD's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14701TE (delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (delta +0.4%), AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS (delta -0.5%), and Intel Core i7-11700K (delta +0.7%).

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates across almost every measured category. Its largest advantages are in compute-heavy tasks: Cinebench R23 multi-core, PassMark floating point math, physics, prime number finding, and integer math. These results indicate a strong showing for parallel integer and floating-point workloads. The 42.4% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core is the single biggest gap in the dataset. Intel also wins in memory-related operations like data compression (12%), data encryption (20.4%), and random string sorting (17.1%). Single-threaded performance is effectively a tie in PassMark terms, though Intel still holds a clear edge in Cinebench single-core tests.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 wins only the extended instructions test. That result, 16440 versus 16146, suggests a specific advantage in workloads using advanced instruction sets, but the margin is small and isolated. In every other recorded benchmark, AMD trails. The data does not show any other category where AMD closes the gap to within a few percent. Even in single-thread PassMark, where the delta is only 0.9%, Intel still records the higher score.

For use-case planning, the database points to Intel for any workload that scales with core count or benefits from high sustained floating-point throughput. The 54.1% gap in prime number finding and 50.2% gap in physics make Intel the clear pick for simulation or scientific workloads. AMD's single win in extended instructions is too narrow to shift the overall balance. No benchmark in the dataset shows AMD ahead in multi-core, single-core, or memory-intensive operations.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is built on a 4 nm TSMC process with Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Krackan Point. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses Intel's 10 nm process with Bartlett Lake architecture, belonging to the Core 5 generation. Intel lists no specific microarchitecture name in the database.

Core counts differ substantially. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are similar (2.00 GHz for AMD, 2.10 GHz for Intel), but boost clocks differ: 4.80 GHz for AMD versus 5.20 GHz for Intel. Thermal design power also diverges, with AMD rated at 28 W and Intel at 45 W.

Cache hierarchies are different. Both use 80 KB L1 per core. AMD uses 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3 total. Intel uses 2 MB L2 per core and 24 MB shared L3. The larger L2 and L3 on the Intel side likely contribute to its performance advantage in the recorded tests. Memory support differs as well: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. Memory bandwidth is higher on AMD at 89.6 GB/s versus Intel's 76.8 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on Intel but not on AMD.

PCIe generations differ. AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD has Radeon 840M, Intel has UHD Graphics 730. Sockets are not compatible: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses Socket 1700. AMD's die size is recorded at 195 mm²; Intel's die size is not listed. Both are active production parts. AMD's release date is January 5, 2025; Intel's is March 8, 2026. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The recorded data favors the Intel Core 5 213PTE in nearly every measurable workload. It wins 14 of 15 head-to-head benchmarks and holds a higher average score, a higher percentile ranking, and a substantial lead in multi-threaded tests. The 42.4% gap in Cinebench R23 multi-core and the 44.3% gap in floating point math are decisive. For workloads that stress multiple cores, the Intel part is clearly ahead.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 offers a lower TDP (28 W versus 45 W), higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s), and a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm). It also wins the extended instructions test. But these advantages do not translate into benchmark victories elsewhere. The single-thread PassMark gap is small, but Intel still wins. In every other test, the margin ranges from 12% to 54.1% in Intel's favor.

The database suggests that users prioritizing raw compute throughput should select the Intel Core 5 213PTE. Users constrained by power consumption or requiring LPDDR5X memory support may consider the AMD part, but the performance data does not provide a workload where AMD leads by a meaningful margin. The Intel Core 5 213PTE's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, all within 0.5% of its average score. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 sits within 0.7% of its own rival cluster, but that cluster is over 6900 points lower in average score. The verdict from the data is straightforward: Intel wins the comparison.
