AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Core 5 210H Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins all 11 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the Intel Core 5 210H. The AMD part holds a 34.4% advantage in data compression, a 54.4% lead in extended instructions, and a 69.8% margin in prime number finding. Its average benchmark score of 46187 places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel Core 5 210H averages 24872, sitting in the 77th percentile.

The Ryzen AI 5 440G also sits in a different performance class among its nearest rivals. The database shows it within 0.5% of the Intel Core i9-13900HX, Intel Core Ultra 5 235, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, and AMD EPYC 4364P. The Core 5 210H, by contrast, trades places within 0.4% of the Intel Core i7-13620H, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, Intel Core i7-11850H, and AMD Ryzen 5 7500F. That gap in company is the clearest signal of where each processor belongs.

For workloads that stress many threads at once, the AMD chip is the correct pick. For tasks that rely on single-thread speed, the AMD chip still wins, but the margin narrows to 14.7%. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark win, so from the data there is no workload category where it comes out ahead.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename, belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, and is fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core 5 210H uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-H, from the Core 5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation, and is built on a 10 nm process by Intel.

Core counts differ. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel chip provides 8 cores and 12 threads. Both reach a 4.80 GHz boost clock, but the base clocks differ: 2.00 GHz for AMD, 2.20 GHz for Intel.

Cache layouts are distinct. Both allocate 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The larger L2 and L3 on the Intel side do not translate into benchmark wins in the recorded data.

Memory support also separates them. The AMD chip supports DDR5 with dual-channel memory and lists 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, plus ECC memory support. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but has no recorded memory bandwidth figure and does not support ECC.

Platform and expansion differ. AMD uses Socket AM5 with PCIe Gen 4 (12 lanes, CPU only). Intel uses BGA 1744 with PCIe Gen 5 (8 lanes, CPU only). The AMD socket is a desktop platform with an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel socket is a mobile platform with a locked multiplier. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD includes Radeon 840M, Intel includes Iris Xe Graphics 48EU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest recorded win for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G comes in the passmark_find_prime_numbers test, where it scores 90 against Intel's 53, a 69.8% advantage. Extended instructions show the next biggest gap: AMD scores 20648, Intel scores 13370, a 54.4% difference. Data compression follows at 34.4%, with AMD at 292735 and Intel at 217805.

Multithread performance strongly favors AMD. The passmark_multithread score is 23487 for AMD versus 18252 for Intel, a 28.7% lead. Physics simulation shows a 27.8% gap, with AMD at 1329 and Intel at 1040. Random string sorting gives AMD a 32.6% edge, 31106 against 23451.

Integer math favors AMD by 15.8%, with scores of 71251 and 61503. Data encryption shows an 11.5% lead for AMD, 13585 versus 12187. Single-thread performance is the closest category: AMD records 4060, Intel records 3539, a 14.7% difference. Floating point math is nearly even, with AMD at 45711 and Intel at 45057, a 1.5% margin.

The single-thread and floating-point results are notable because they show the AMD lead persists even in areas where core count matters less. The 14.7% single-thread gap means the AMD chip is not just winning on parallel workloads; it also has a meaningful per-core advantage. The 1.5% floating-point margin is the only recorded test where the two processors are effectively tied.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins every recorded benchmark category, so the use-case split is defined by the size of the margin rather than by which processor takes a given workload. For heavily parallel tasks, the AMD chip is the clear choice. Data compression, multithread, physics, and random string sorting all show leads between 27.8% and 34.4%. Extended instructions and prime number finding show even larger gaps, at 54.4% and 69.8% respectively.

For single-threaded workloads, the AMD chip still wins but by a smaller margin. The 14.7% single-thread advantage means applications that depend on one or two cores will still favor AMD, though the gap is less dramatic than in multithreaded tests. Floating point math is the closest contest, with AMD ahead by only 1.5%, so numerically heavy workloads that rely on FPU throughput will see near-parity between the two.

The Intel Core 5 210H has no recorded benchmark win. Its 8 cores and larger L3 cache do not produce a victory in any tested category. The data shows no use case where the Intel part is the better choice based on performance. The AMD chip also benefits from a desktop socket (AM5) with an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel chip uses a mobile socket (BGA 1744) with a locked multiplier, which matters for platform flexibility.
