AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G and AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 are both 4 nm TSMC parts from AMD, but they sit in different market segments and use different sockets. In the database's recorded head-to-head Passmark set, the Max PRO 385 wins 9 of 11 tests, while the 440G wins the two single-thread tests. The average benchmark score tells a different story: 46187 for the 440G versus 43326 for the Max PRO, and both rank high among all tracked CPUs, at the 89th and 88th percentiles respectively.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest gap in either direction is in passmark_find_prime_numbers: the Max PRO 385 scores 157, the 440G scores 90, a 42.7% deficit for the 440G. The Max PRO also leads by 34.3% in extended instructions and floating point math, with scores of 31442 versus 20648 and 69580 versus 45711. Integer math favors the Max PRO at 105056 against 71251, a 32.2% gap. Data encryption is 18978 versus 13585, a 28.4% lead; multithread is 32075 versus 23487, a 26.8% lead; random string sorting is 40784 versus 31106, a 23.7% lead; data compression is 379448 versus 292735, a 22.9% lead; and physics is 1711 versus 1329, a 22.3% lead. The 440G's only wins are the two single-thread entries, both 4060 versus 3995, for a 1.6% edge in each.

The average benchmark scores place the 440G slightly ahead of its nearest rivals: 46187 versus 46098 for the Intel Core i9-13900HX, 46062 for the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, 46030 for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, and 45970 for the AMD EPYC 4364P, corresponding to deltas of 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.3%, and 0.5%. The Max PRO 385, with 43326, is 0.2% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 (43431), 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H (43210), 0.8% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 170 (43689), and 0.9% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 (43704).

Where Each One Wins

On the basis of the recorded Passmark tests, the Max PRO 385 wins every multithreaded and math-heavy category. The 42.7% gap in prime-number generation is the largest, and the 34.3% gaps in extended instructions and floating point math show a substantial throughput advantage for workloads that rely on extended instruction execution. The 32.2% integer math lead and 26.8% multithread lead reinforce that position. The Max PRO also wins data compression, data encryption, random string sorting, and physics, so the pattern is consistent: workloads that can spread across cores or use the larger cache and memory subsystem will favor the Max PRO.

The 440G wins only the single-thread Passmark tests, with 4060 versus 3995. That 1.6% advantage is narrow, but it is the only measurable case in the shared test set where the smaller desktop part leads. The average benchmark score of the 440G, 46187, is higher than the Max PRO's 43326, which reflects a different benchmark inventory rather than a reversal of the head-to-head results.

Beyond the shared Passmark tests, the Max PRO has Cinebench entries in the database: Cinebench R15 multicore 2865 and singlecore 404, R20 multicore 11938 and singlecore 1685, and R23 multicore 28424 and singlecore 4012. The 440G has no equivalent Cinebench scores, so those results are not part of the head-to-head comparison.

Architecture Differences

Both chips are built on TSMC's 4 nm node, so the process is identical. The architectural split appears in the core design: the 440G is listed under Ryzen AI 400 with Zen 5 / Zen 5c, while the Max PRO is Zen 5 only. The 440G uses 6 cores and 12 threads; the Max PRO uses 8 cores and 16 threads. The per-core L1 and L2 caches match at 80 KB and 1 MB, but the L3 cache is 8 MB on the 440G and 32 MB shared on the Max PRO.

The Max PRO's quad-channel LPDDR5X memory interface provides 256.0 GB/s versus 89.6 GB/s for the dual-channel DDR5 interface on the 440G. PCIe connectivity also differs: 16 Gen 4 lanes on the Max PRO versus 12 Gen 4 lanes on the 440G. The integrated GPU is Radeon 8050S on the Max PRO and Radeon 840M on the 440G. The 440G has an unlocked multiplier and an AM5 desktop socket; the Max PRO is locked and uses the FP11 mobile socket. The recorded die size is 195 mm² for the 440G, while the Max PRO has no die size entry.
