AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides a complete benchmark profile for the Intel Core 3 305, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no benchmark entries in this database. This asymmetry means the head-to-head comparison is based on the Intel part's measured performance against its nearest rivals, with the AMD processor's capabilities described from its architectural specifications.

The Intel Core 3 305 delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13123 and a single-core score of 1852. In Cinebench R20, the same processor reaches 5511 multicore and 777 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 workload produces 1322 multicore and 186 single-core. These results place the Intel part at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18302.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 305 are tightly clustered. The Intel Core i3-14100 scores 18318, which is only 0.1 percent higher. The Intel Core 5 330 records 18345, a 0.2 percent advantage. The Intel Core 7 360 achieves 18374, 0.4 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E trails with 18230, a 0.4 percent deficit. The performance delta between the slowest and fastest of these four rivals is less than one percent, indicating that the Core 3 305 sits in a highly competitive bandwidth of desktop and mobile processors.

PassMark workloads show specific strengths. The data compression test yields 146857, while data encryption produces 11019. Extended instructions score 13543, and floating point math reaches 42284. Integer math records 32295, and the multithread test returns 15439. Physics processing scores 1233, random string sorting achieves 17623, and the single-thread test delivers 3977. The prime number search returns 115, a comparatively low figure that suggests this workload does not align well with the processor's design.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no recorded scores in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified in the same way. The data confirms that the Intel Core 3 305 is a measured entity with a full benchmark suite, while the AMD part remains a specification-only entry.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, meaning each core supports two threads. The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename from the Core 3 generation and has 6 cores with 6 threads, so each core handles exactly one thread.

Clock speeds differ as well. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel part has a lower base of 1.50 GHz and a boost of 4.30 GHz. The AMD processor also has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel multiplier remains locked.

The process nodes come from different foundries. AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 3 nm process from its own foundry. Die size is recorded only for the AMD part at 195 mm², with no die size listed for the Intel chip.

Cache hierarchies are structured differently. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel Core 3 305 has 192 KB of L1 total, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3.

Memory support also separates the two. AMD supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC memory enabled. Intel supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC support.

PCIe connectivity differs in scale. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with only 6 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with AMD using the Radeon 840M and Intel using Xe3 Graphics with one Xe core.

The market segments are distinct. AMD targets the desktop with an AMD Socket AM5, while Intel targets mobile with an Intel BGA 1516 socket. Release dates differ by roughly six weeks, with AMD launching on 2026-02-28 and Intel on 2026-04-15.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation of roles. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE is a desktop processor with 12 threads, a 4.80 GHz boost, dual-channel memory, ECC support, an unlocked multiplier, and 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. The Intel Core 3 305 is a mobile processor with 6 threads, a 4.30 GHz boost, single-channel memory, no ECC, a locked multiplier, and 6 PCIe Gen 4 lanes.

Benchmark results exist only for the Intel Core 3 305, and those results show a processor that performs within 0.4 percent of its closest rivals across the board. The Intel Core i3-14100, Core 5 330, and Core 7 360 all essentially match its average score, while the AMD Ryzen 5 2600E sits slightly below. This indicates that the Core 3 305 delivers performance in a well-established competitive range, with no single rival holding a meaningful edge.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE cannot be placed in the same performance bracket due to the absence of recorded benchmarks. Its specifications suggest a higher thread count, higher boost clock, and wider memory bus, but the database contains no measurements to confirm the real-world impact of those specifications.

For the Intel Core 3 305, the measured data shows a capable mobile processor whose performance aligns closely with several existing desktop and mobile parts. For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE, the specifications indicate a desktop-focused design with more threads, more PCIe lanes, and ECC support, but no benchmark evidence is available to quantify its standing.
