AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core 3 100U Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE and the Intel Core 3 100U are both six-core processors, but they target entirely different market segments and architectural philosophies. The Ryzen AI 5 440GE is a desktop part built for the AM5 socket with a 35 W TDP, while the Core 3 100U is a 15 W mobile chip soldered to a BGA 1744 package. The database currently holds no benchmark results for the AMD processor, leaving its average score and percentile ranking unrecorded at 0 and 50, respectively. The Intel part, by contrast, has a substantial set of recorded measurements, an average score of 16148, and a percentile ranking of 70 against all CPUs. Any performance comparison must therefore rely exclusively on the Intel data and the architectural specifications listed for both parts.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core 3 100U is the only processor with measurable performance. It holds a 70th percentile position among all CPUs in the database, which places it ahead of 70 percent of tested processors. Its average benchmark score of 16148 puts it in a tight cluster with rivals such as the Intel Core i7-10850H (16204, 0.3 percent higher), the Intel Core i5-10600KF (16228, 0.5 percent higher), the Intel Core i7-1260U (16320, 1.1 percent higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H (16341, 1.2 percent higher). The deltas are small, all under 1.3 percent, indicating that the Core 3 100U performs essentially on par with those four established chips.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE, no benchmark scores exist in the database. Its percentile is listed as 50, but that figure is not backed by any actual measurements, and its average score is recorded as zero. The absence of data means the database cannot confirm whether the AMD part outperforms, matches, or trails the Intel chip. The only defensible conclusion is that the Intel Core 3 100U is verified in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no verified performance record. A user seeking a processor with documented benchmark results would select the Intel part. A user prioritizing the architectural advantages of the AMD part, such as a newer process node or higher boost clock, would do so without any benchmark confirmation from the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, built on a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 3 100U, in contrast, is a Raptor Lake-U part from the Core 3 generation, using the Raptor Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD part is the newer design, with a release date of February 2026, while the Intel chip launched in January 2024.

Thread counts differ despite identical core counts. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel processor also has 6 cores but only 8 threads, which reflects a hybrid core arrangement where not all cores contribute additional threads. Cache hierarchies also differ. Both parts share an 80 KB L1 cache per core, but the AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel chip has 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The L3 cache is 8 MB on the AMD part versus 10 MB shared on the Intel part.

Memory support is another differentiator. The AMD processor supports only DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. PCIe lanes also differ: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU.

Clock speeds and power targets vary considerably. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a 35 W TDP. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 15 W TDP. The AMD chip also has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel multiplier is locked. The integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses a Radeon 840M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 64EU. The AMD processor is classified as a Desktop part on the AM5 socket, while the Intel processor is a Mobile part on BGA 1744.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on nearly every recorded specification except core count and L1 cache size. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename, the Ryzen AI 400 generation, Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture, a 4 nm TSMC process, and a 195 mm² die.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no individual benchmark scores at all. The comparison therefore rests entirely on the Intel Core 3 100U's recorded results and its relative standing against its named rivals.

The Intel Core 3 100U's multi-core performance is documented across several Cinebench versions. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 1070. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, it scores 4462. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 10624. Single-core results are 150 in Cinebench R15, 629 in Cinebench R20, and 1499 in Cinebench R23. The gap between multi-core and single-core scores reflects the thread scaling of the 8-thread design.

PassMark tests show a similar pattern. The Intel chip scores 12522 in multithread tests and 3506 in single-thread tests. Integer math reaches 39580, while floating-point math reaches 28322. Data compression scores 136497, and data encryption scores 8128. Extended instructions score 7894. Random string sorting scores 15191, and physics scores 876. Prime number finding is notably low at 52.

Against its nearest rivals, the Intel Core 3 100U is effectively tied. It trails the Intel Core i7-10850H by 0.3 percent, the Intel Core i5-10600KF by 0.5 percent, the Intel Core i7-1260U by 1.1 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 5 4600H by 1.2 percent. These deltas are all within measurement noise and indicate that the Core 3 100U delivers performance consistent with a mid-range mobile processor from the previous generation.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has zero wins and zero losses in the head-to-head table, and its benchmark array is empty. The Intel Core 3 100U also has zero wins and zero losses, because no head-to-head tests were recorded. The architectural data suggests the AMD part should have advantages in raw clock speed, thread count, process node, and memory bandwidth, but the database provides no empirical confirmation. The Intel part, despite being older and built on a larger process node, is the only one with verified performance numbers, and those numbers place it in the 70th percentile of all CPUs. The verdict from the data is clear: the Intel Core 3 100U is a measured, competitive processor, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE remains an unverified entry in the database.
