AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear overall advantage for the Intel Core 5 213PE, which wins 8 of the 11 recorded head-to-head comparisons. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G takes 3 wins, though two of those are identical single-thread scores. The most decisive Intel victory comes in floating point math, where the Core 5 213PE scores 68587 against the Ryzen's 45711, a 33.4% margin. That is the largest gap in the entire comparison set.

Integer math follows a similar pattern. The Intel part posts 92089 versus 71251 for the AMD chip, a 22.6% lead. Prime number finding shows a 21.1% advantage for Intel (114 versus 90), and the physics benchmark favors Intel by 18.2% (1624 versus 1329). Multithread performance is also Intel's, with 26434 against 23487, an 11.1% margin. Data encryption shows a 14.6% Intel lead (15916 versus 13585), while data compression is nearly even at 298804 versus 292735, a 2% difference.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G's clearest win is in extended instructions, where it scores 20648 against Intel's 19565, a 5.5% advantage. The two single-thread results are identical at 4060 on both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread tests, so the database records those as AMD wins by a 0% delta. This means the Ryzen matches Intel's peak single-core throughput despite having fewer cores and a lower boost clock.

Looking at broader database positioning, the AMD part sits at the 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel part is at the 85th percentile. The AMD chip's average benchmark score is 46187, placing it 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-13900HX and 0.3% ahead of both the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375. The Intel Core 5 213PE averages 35428, sitting 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700T and 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700KF. These nearest-rival margins are small, indicating that both processors are tightly clustered with their immediate competitors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename from the Ryzen AI 400 generation, built on a hybrid of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename from the Core 5 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with no recorded die size.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. Both have identical L1 cache at 80 KB per core, but L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, Intel provides 2 MB per core. L3 cache also diverges sharply, with AMD offering 8 MB total versus Intel's 24 MB shared.

Process node likely explains some of the performance-per-watt differences, though both parts carry a 65 W TDP. The AMD chip uses a more advanced 4 nm process, while Intel uses 10 nm. The AMD die measures 195 mm², while Intel's die size is not recorded in the database.

Memory support differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel configuration and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity favors Intel, which provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while AMD provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core 5 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. Release dates are close, with AMD arriving on February 28, 2026, and Intel on March 8, 2026. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $221; the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The base and boost clocks favor Intel, which runs at 2.70 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost versus AMD's 2.00 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The Intel part also has more cores, threads, and substantially more L3 cache. The AMD part counters with a smaller process node, higher memory bandwidth, Gen 4 PCIe, and an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Core 5 213PE is the stronger performer in multi-threaded and math-heavy workloads. It wins 8 of 11 comparisons, with its largest margins in floating point (33.4%), integer math (22.6%), prime finding (21.1%), and physics (18.2%). The multithread score confirms this pattern, with Intel leading by 11.1%. For users whose work relies on sustained parallel computation, encryption, or physics simulation, the data clearly favors the Intel chip.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has one meaningful standalone win in extended instructions (5.5% ahead) and matches Intel exactly in single-thread performance. The identical 4060 single-thread score suggests that the AMD architecture extracts comparable per-core throughput from its 6 cores, despite the lower boost clock. The AMD chip also sits at a higher overall percentile (89th versus 85th) and has a higher average benchmark score (46187 versus 35428), though that average includes its own benchmark suite rather than the head-to-head set.

The specification sheet shows Intel with more cores, more threads, higher clocks, and a larger L3 cache. AMD counters with a smaller process node, higher memory bandwidth, and an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which could matter for platform flexibility, while AMD is DDR5-only. The AMD part uses a newer fabrication process, which may influence efficiency, though TDP is identical at 65 W for both.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins in scenarios that stress floating point arithmetic, integer math, prime number generation, physics calculations, multithreaded throughput, data encryption, and data compression. Its 33.4% lead in floating point math and 22.6% lead in integer math make it the choice for scientific computing, financial modeling, and rendering workloads that rely heavily on these operations. The 18.2% physics advantage suggests better performance in simulation and gaming physics, while the 11.1% multithread lead indicates stronger overall parallel task handling. The 14.6% encryption edge matters for security applications and database workloads.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins in extended instruction processing, where its 5.5% lead indicates better handling of specialized instruction sets such as AVX or similar extensions. The tied single-thread scores mean the AMD chip matches Intel in lightly threaded applications like web browsing, office productivity, and legacy software that uses one core. The AMD chip's higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s) could benefit memory-bound tasks despite the lower L3 cache.

For platform flexibility, the Intel part's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 allows reuse of existing memory, while its Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes provides more modern expansion bandwidth. The AMD part's unlocked multiplier enables overclocking, which the benchmark data cannot quantify but the specification confirms. The AMD chip also uses a smaller process node and comes from a different foundry, which may affect thermal behavior, though both parts share a 65 W TDP.
