Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G demonstrates clear superiority in prime number finding and physics calculations. The 109.3% lead in prime numbers and the 89.3% lead in physics suggest workloads that rely on iterative integer operations or simulation-style calculations will see substantial benefits from the AMD architecture. The single-thread advantage, though small at 1.3%, also gives AMD the edge in lightly threaded applications.

The Intel Core 5 211E dominates in memory-bandwidth-sensitive and parallel throughput tasks. Data compression shows a 15.6% lead, data encryption shows a 24.3% lead, and floating point math shows a 31.2% lead. These workloads benefit from the Intel chip's larger L3 cache (20 MB versus 8 MB) and its higher core count (10 versus 6). Integer math, random string sorting, and extended instructions also favor Intel, with margins of 19.1%, 9.3%, and 4.4% respectively.

The multithread score is nearly a tie at 1.5% in favor of Intel, which is notable given the Intel chip's 10 cores versus AMD's 6 cores. The AMD chip's Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture appears to extract more performance per core, allowing it to nearly match the higher-core-count Intel chip in overall multithreaded work.

The average benchmark score of 46187 for AMD versus 37829 for Intel reflects the AMD chip's higher percentile ranking at 89 versus 86. The AMD chip sits among much more expensive and higher-tier competition in its nearest rivals, while the Intel chip competes in a lower performance tier.
