AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall win for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G, which takes 8 of the 11 shared benchmark tests. The Intel Core 7 360 wins 3. The most dramatic AMD advantage appears in integer-heavy and compression workloads. In passmark_integer_math, the Ryzen AI 5 440G scores 71251 against 34238 for the Intel part, a 108.1% advantage. Data compression follows closely: 292735 versus 142877, a 104.9% delta. Random string sorting shows another large gap, with the AMD chip at 31106 versus 17636, a 76.4% lead. Extended instructions also favor AMD heavily, 20648 versus 12390, a 66.7% difference.

The multithread score reinforces the pattern. The Ryzen AI 5 440G records 23487, while the Intel Core 7 360 manages 15544. That is a 51.1% margin. The physics test shows a narrower AMD win, 1329 versus 1213, a 9.6% delta. Floating point math is nearly tied: 45711 for AMD and 44963 for Intel, a 1.7% edge for the Ryzen part. Even in data encryption, where the gap is smallest among AMD wins, the Ryzen AI 5 440G leads 13585 to 11164, a 21.7% difference.

The Intel Core 7 360 holds three wins. The largest is in passmark_find_prime_numbers, where Intel scores 120 against AMD's 90. That translates to a 25% advantage for Intel. The other two wins are the single-thread tests. Both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread record 4274 for Intel and 4060 for AMD, a 5% lead for the Intel part. Those single-thread results are notable because the AMD part otherwise dominates the multithread and aggregate workloads.

Overall average benchmark scores place the two processors far apart. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G averages 46187, while the Intel Core 7 360 averages 18374. The AMD chip sits at the 89th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Intel part sits at the 72nd percentile. Nearest-rival data confirms the separation. The closest rivals to the AMD chip are the Intel Core i9-13900HX at 46098 (0.2% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 at 46062 (0.3%), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 at 46030 (0.3%), and the AMD EPYC 4364P at 45970 (0.5%).

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports a clear split by use case. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is the stronger processor for multithreaded, integer, compression, encryption, and extended-instruction workloads. Its multithread score is 51.1% higher than the Intel part, and its integer math score is more than double. The average benchmark score of 46187 places it near the Intel Core i9-13900HX and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, both of which are within 0.3% in the nearest-rival table. That performance class is far above the Intel Core 7 360, whose average of 18374 aligns with the Intel Core i3-13100 and Intel Core 5 330. The 89th percentile ranking versus the 72nd percentile ranking captures the same gap.

The Intel Core 7 360 has two specific advantages in the recorded data. It leads in prime-number finding by 25%, and it leads in both single-thread tests by 5%. Those wins matter for lightly threaded tasks that depend on single-core speed. The single-thread score of 4274 is 214 points higher than the AMD part's 4060. However, the Intel part wins only 3 of the 11 shared tests, and its wins are concentrated in narrow areas. The AMD part wins the remaining 8 tests, including the broad multithread and aggregate workloads.

The data also shows a structural difference in market positioning. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is a desktop processor on AMD Socket AM5 with 12 threads. The Intel Core 7 360 is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 1516 with 6 threads. The AMD part has twice the thread count, which matches its multithread dominance. The Intel part has a 15 W TDP versus 65 W for the AMD part, which explains its lower aggregate scores but does not change the performance ranking. For users prioritizing raw throughput in compression, encryption, integer math, and multithreaded applications, the recorded data favors the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G. For users prioritizing single-thread speed and prime-number workloads, the Intel Core 7 360 holds the edge.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across every major specification field in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core 7 360 has 6 cores and 6 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.00 GHz for AMD versus 1.50 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are identical at 4.80 GHz for both. TDP differs substantially: 65 W for the AMD part versus 15 W for the Intel part. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1516. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier; the Intel part does not.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G supports DDR5 only, with a dual-channel memory bus and 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Core 7 360 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but with a single-channel memory bus and 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. PCIe lanes differ as well: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 840M, and the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics (2 Xe).

Cache configurations are notably different. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel Core 7 360 has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. Die size is recorded only for the AMD part at 195 mm². The Intel part has no die size recorded. Release dates also differ: the AMD part launched on 2026-02-28, and the Intel part on 2026-04-15. The Intel Core 7 360 has a launch MSRP of $426. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has no launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The architecture data shows two different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, built on a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. Its process node is 3 nm, fabricated by Intel. The AMD part is a desktop segment product; the Intel part is a mobile segment product. Both are listed as active in production.

The cache architecture reflects the core design differences. The AMD part uses smaller per-core L1 and L2 caches (80 KB and 1 MB per core) but a larger 8 MB L3 pool. The Intel part uses much larger per-core L1 and L2 caches (192 KB and 2.5 MB per core) but a smaller 6 MB shared L3. The larger L2 on the Intel part may help with per-core locality, but the recorded benchmark data does not show an overall performance advantage from it. The Intel part's single-thread wins suggest its per-core resources are effective for lightly threaded work, while the AMD part's thread count and larger L3 support its multithread dominance.

The memory architecture also differs structurally. The AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. The AMD part supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not. The AMD part also has twice the PCIe lanes (12 versus 6), both at Gen 4. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The process node difference (4 nm TSMC versus 3 nm Intel) does not translate into a performance advantage for the Intel part in the recorded benchmarks. Instead, the AMD part's higher TDP (65 W versus 15 W) and double thread count align with its higher scores across most tests.
