AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Processor N150 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data for these two processors comes from different test suites, which limits direct cross-comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G results are drawn from PassMark tests, while the Intel Processor N150 results come from Cinebench R15 and R23 tests. However, the database provides average benchmark scores that allow a direct comparison.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G delivers an average benchmark score of 46187, which places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. The Intel Processor N150, by contrast, records an average benchmark score of 1025, sitting in the 28th percentile. The difference in average score is substantial, with the AMD part outperforming the Intel part by a factor of roughly 45 based on these aggregate figures.

Looking at the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G in isolation, its PassMark results show strong multi-threaded performance. The passmark_multithread score of 23487 indicates solid parallel workload capability. Single-thread performance is recorded at 4060 in the passmark_single_thread test, while the passmark_integer_math score reaches 71251, and passmark_floating_point_math comes in at 45711. Data compression in the passmark_data_compression test yields a score of 292735, and encryption tasks produce a passmark_data_encryption score of 13585. Extended instruction handling scores 20648, prime number calculation scores 90, physics computation scores 1329, and random string sorting scores 31106.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i9-13900HX at 46098, which trails by 0.2 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 scores 46062, a 0.3 percent deficit. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 also scores 46030, another 0.3 percent gap, and the AMD EPYC 4364P scores 45970, a 0.5 percent difference. These margins show the Ryzen AI 5 440G sits within a very tight cluster of high-end processors, separated by less than one percent from each rival.

For the Intel Processor N150, the Cinebench results show a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 2590.5 and a single-core score of 935. The Cinebench R15 multicore score is 422.5, with a single-core score of 153.15. The nearest rivals for the N150 include the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T at 1024, a 0.1 percent difference, the Intel Core i3-4340 at 1026, a negative 0.1 percent difference, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U at 1024, another 0.1 percent difference, and the Intel Core i7-5650U at 1027, a negative 0.2 percent difference. The N150 sits in a narrow band of similarly performing legacy and low-power processors.

The data shows no head-to-head benchmark entries in the database, meaning no direct test results exist where both processors ran the identical benchmark suite. The wins counters for both processors are zero, reflecting this absence of direct comparisons. The average benchmark score remains the primary quantitative bridge between the two, and that comparison heavily favors the AMD part.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses a 6-core, 12-thread configuration built on the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation with Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Processor N150 uses a 4-core, 4-thread configuration based on the Twin Lake architecture, part of the Intel Processor generation with Alder Lake-N roots. Its process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel, with no die size recorded.

The clock speeds differ sharply. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 0.10 GHz and a boost clock of 3.60 GHz. Thermal design power also diverges: the AMD part is rated at 65 watts, while the Intel part is rated at just 6 watts. This makes the Intel N150 a far lower power draw component, suitable for fanless or ultra-low-power designs, while the AMD part targets higher performance with greater energy consumption.

Cache hierarchies are distinct. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Processor N150 has 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part benefits from per-core L2 allocation, while the Intel part uses a shared L2 pool.

Memory support differs in type and channel configuration. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel memory bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 memory, but uses a single-channel memory bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity varies. The AMD processor offers PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor offers PCIe Gen 3 with 9 lanes from the CPU. This gives the AMD part a newer standard and more lanes for expansion. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel Processor N150 uses the UHD Graphics 730.

The socket types are incompatible. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, which is a desktop platform socket. The Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1264, a mobile soldered form factor. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, indicating overclocking support, while the Intel multiplier is locked. The AMD processor targets the desktop market segment, while the Intel processor is classified as mobile. The AMD part was released on 2026-02-28, while the Intel part was released on 2024-11-19. The AMD part number is 100-000001918, and the Intel part number is SRPNR.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G, with an average benchmark score of 46187 and a 89th percentile ranking, sits in a high-performance tier comparable to top mobile HX-series and recent desktop processors. The Intel Processor N150, with an average benchmark score of 1025 and a 28th percentile ranking, occupies a low-power entry-level tier.

For users selecting based on raw compute capability, the AMD processor is the stronger choice. Its multi-threaded PassMark score of 23487, single-thread score of 4060, and high integer and floating point math scores indicate robust performance across general-purpose workloads. Its memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, dual-channel DDR5 support, and PCIe Gen 4 connectivity further support demanding applications.

The Intel Processor N150 serves a different role. Its 6-watt TDP, single-channel memory, and modest clock speeds position it for minimal-power embedded or basic mobile tasks. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 2590.5 and single-core score of 935 reflect a processor suited to light productivity and media playback rather than compute-intensive work.

The architecture differences reinforce the performance gap. The AMD part uses a newer 4 nm process, 12 threads, and a desktop socket with unlocked multiplier. The Intel part uses a 10 nm process, 4 threads, and a mobile BGA socket with locked multiplier. The AMD processor also supports ECC memory, which is absent on the Intel side.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins in scenarios requiring high parallel throughput. Its 12 threads and 8 MB of L3 cache, combined with a dual-channel memory bus delivering 89.6 GB/s, support multi-threaded applications such as compilation, rendering, and scientific computing. The passmark_multithread score of 23487 and passmark_integer_math score of 71251 confirm strong performance in these areas. The boost clock of 4.80 GHz also favors single-threaded responsiveness, reflected in the passmark_single_thread score of 4060. The unlocked multiplier allows tuning for additional performance headroom.

The Intel Processor N150 wins in power-constrained environments. Its 6-watt TDP makes it suitable for battery-operated mobile devices or passively cooled systems. The low base clock of 0.10 GHz and 4 cores keep energy consumption minimal. The support for LPDDR5 memory, alongside DDR4 and DDR5, provides flexibility for embedded designs. The 9 PCIe Gen 3 lanes, while limited, suffice for basic I/O requirements in compact form factors. The mobile BGA 1264 socket and active production status indicate ongoing availability for system integrators.

In compute-heavy workloads, the AMD processor leads by a wide margin based on average benchmark scores. The percentile ranking of 89 versus 28 places them in entirely different performance classes. For applications where every watt counts and peak performance is secondary, the Intel processor offers a viable low-power alternative. The data shows no direct head-to-head benchmark wins for either side, so the comparison rests on the aggregate average score and the architectural specifications recorded in the database.
