AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Processor U301L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G and the Intel Processor U301L occupy very different positions in the database, and the benchmark data reflects that gap. The AMD part posts a comprehensive PassMark average score of 46,187, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Intel U301L, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means direct numerical comparisons across individual tests are not possible. The data instead shows a clear stratification: the Ryzen AI 5 440G is a high-percentile performer, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero due to missing measurements.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G, the strongest individual results come from its multithreaded and data-intensive workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 23,487 indicates substantial parallel throughput, which aligns with its 6-core, 12-thread configuration. The integer math score of 71,251 and the floating point math score of 45,711 both show robust arithmetic capability, while the extended instructions score of 20,648 confirms solid SIMD and vector processing performance. Data compression reaches 292,735, and encryption hits 13,585, both suggesting that the chip handles bulk data operations efficiently.

The single-thread score of 4,060 is notable for a desktop part with a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The physics score of 1,329 and the prime number finding score of 90 are lower in absolute terms, which is typical for workloads that are less parallel or that rely on specific instruction patterns. Random string sorting produces 31,106, which is a moderate result relative to the integer and floating point scores.

Because the Intel U301L has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided: the database shows 0 wins for the AMD part and 0 wins for the Intel part, since no matching test results exist. The practical interpretation is that the Ryzen AI 5 440G delivers measurable performance across eleven distinct PassMark workloads, while the Intel U301L has no recorded data to compare against. The percentile difference is stark: 89th versus 50th. That 39-percentile gap, combined with the AMD part's active benchmark suite, establishes the Ryzen AI 5 440G as the higher-performing silicon in this pairing.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from entirely different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to 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 Processor U301L uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-PS codename, built on Intel's 10 nm process. The foundry for the AMD part is TSMC, while Intel fabricates its own silicon.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 5 cores and 6 threads. That is a 1-core and 6-thread advantage for AMD, which directly explains the multithread performance gap. The base clock for the AMD part is 2.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel part runs at 1.20 GHz base and 2.20 GHz boost. The boost clock difference alone is 2.60 GHz, a massive margin in favor of AMD.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, and both have 8 MB of L3 cache. However, the L2 cache differs: AMD uses 1 MB per core, while Intel uses 1.25 MB per core. For a 6-core AMD chip, that totals 6 MB of L2, while the 5-core Intel chip has 6.25 MB of L2. The Intel part has slightly more L2 per core, but the AMD part has more cores overall.

Memory support and I/O also separate the two. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G supports DDR5 memory only, with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel U301L supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but has no memory bandwidth figure recorded, and it does not support ECC. The PCIe configuration differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, while Intel provides Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ by vendor and capability. The AMD part includes Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 64EU. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. The production status for both is Active, but the release dates differ: the AMD part launched on 2026-02-28, while the Intel part launched on 2024-04-07. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $107.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins in every measurable category because it is the only one with recorded data. The 6-core, 12-thread design with a 4.80 GHz boost clock gives it a clear advantage in multithreaded workloads, as shown by the PassMark multithread score of 23,487. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth supports data-heavy applications, and the ECC support makes it suitable for environments where data integrity is prioritized. The 4 nm TSMC process and 195 mm² die size indicate a modern, dense design.

The Intel Processor U301L has no recorded benchmark wins in the database. Its advantages are structural rather than measured. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which gives it flexibility across older and newer platforms. Its 1.25 MB L2 per core is slightly higher than AMD's 1 MB per core, which could benefit single-threaded latency-sensitive workloads if they were measured. The 15 W TDP is significantly lower than the AMD part's 65 W TDP, making it a lower-power option for compact or thermally constrained systems. The 1.20 GHz base clock and 2.20 GHz boost clock are much lower, but that also means lower power draw.

For use-case analysis, the AMD part is clearly suited to desktop performance workloads: multithreaded rendering, compilation, data processing, and encryption. The high single-thread score of 4,060 also supports responsive interactive use. The Intel part, with its 5 cores and 6 threads, low clocks, and 15 W TDP, is positioned for basic mobile tasks where power efficiency matters more than peak throughput. The lack of ECC and the smaller PCIe lane count further suggest a mainstream, non-server role.
