AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data presents an asymmetric comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has a full set of benchmark measurements across eleven PassMark tests, while the Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Consequently, the AMD part holds every available win in the head-to-head comparison, not because it dominates in every conceivable workload, but because the database contains no performance measurements for the Intel processor.

Looking at the AMD processor's individual test results, its strongest relative performances appear in data compression, where it scores 292,735, and in random string sorting, with a score of 31,106. These workloads are typically sensitive to memory subsystem behavior and core scheduling efficiency. The floating point math score of 45,711 and integer math score of 71,251 also indicate solid computational throughput for a 6-core, 12-thread part. The single-thread score of 4,060 and the multithread score of 23,487 provide a baseline for comparing the AMD chip against other CPUs in the database, though no direct Intel Core 7 251E numbers exist for a side-by-side comparison.

For the Intel Core 7 251E, the database lists zero benchmarks, a 50th percentile ranking versus all CPUs, and an average benchmark score of zero. This means the Intel chip cannot be credited with any workload-specific victory in this dataset. The use-case split is therefore straightforward: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins all measurable categories by default, while the Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded wins due to missing data.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear, if lopsided, conclusion. For any workload where a PassMark score exists, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is the only processor with demonstrated performance. Its 89th percentile ranking versus all CPUs places it well above the Intel Core 7 251E's 50th percentile ranking. The AMD chip's average benchmark score of 46,187 stands against the Intel chip's average of zero, which reflects absent measurements rather than a literal performance of zero.

A user choosing between these two based strictly on the database would select the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G for any benchmark-verified task. The Intel Core 7 251E offers no recorded performance evidence, so no data-driven argument can favor it. The AMD part also brings a higher percentile standing, indicating that its measured performance places it in the top tier of all CPUs tracked by the database. The Intel part's mid-pack percentile, combined with no scores, leaves it without a single data-backed advantage.

That said, the Intel Core 7 251E does differ in core count and cache size, which could matter in workloads not captured by the available benchmarks. But the database contains no measurements for those workloads on the Intel chip. Therefore, the verdict from the recorded data is unambiguous: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is the only processor with verified performance, and it wins every benchmark category by virtue of having data at all.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list is empty in the database. Neither processor has a direct comparative test result recorded against the other. However, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G's individual benchmark scores can be examined for context. Its data compression score of 292,735 is the highest single value among its tests, suggesting strong performance in compression workloads. The data encryption score of 13,585 and extended instructions score of 20,648 reflect moderate throughput in those specific operations. The find prime numbers test returns a score of 90, a low value that indicates limited performance in that particular mathematical workload.

The Intel Core 7 251E has no benchmark entries at all. Every test category that lists a score for the AMD chip has no corresponding Intel value. This absence means the largest "win" for the AMD processor is not a margin but a presence. For example, the AMD chip's multithread score of 23,487 and single-thread score of 4,060 cannot be compared to Intel figures because none exist. The same applies to the physics score of 1,329 and the floating point math score of 45,711.

The nearest rivals for the AMD processor provide some reference points. The Intel Core i9-13900HX has an average score of 46,098, which is 0.2% lower than the AMD chip's 46,187. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 scores 46,062, 0.3% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 scores 46,030, also 0.3% lower. The AMD EPYC 4364P scores 45,970, 0.5% lower. These deltas show the Ryzen AI 5 440G sits in a tight cluster with these other processors, all within half a percent of each other. The Intel Core 7 251E has no rival data, so no similar contextual comparison is possible.

The Intel chip has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 cache on the Intel part could benefit workloads with large working sets, but no benchmark data confirms this.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus and have the same memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G includes a Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core 7 251E includes UHD Graphics 770. Neither has a recorded benchmark for graphics performance in this dataset.
