AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core 5 211E Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core 5 211E

The database contains a full benchmark record for the Intel Core 5 211E, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no recorded benchmark scores or nearest rival entries. The Intel part sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 37829, placing it just ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 (37804, 0.1% delta) and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 (37762, 0.2% delta), and just behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (37904, -0.2% delta) and Intel Core i9-14901E (37911, -0.2% delta). The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE carries a 50th percentile rank, but no measured data exists to compare directly. All comparisons below rely on the Intel side's recorded results and the architectural specifications from both parts.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211E wins every measured benchmark category, simply because it is the only one with test results in the database. Its multithreaded PassMark score of 23833 indicates strong parallel throughput, and the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 20389 confirms that performance in heavily threaded workloads. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2878 shows that lightly threaded tasks also run well, and the PassMark single-thread score of 4006 reinforces that picture. Data compression work reaches 346757 on the PassMark scale, while integer math hits 88117 and floating-point math reaches 66402. Encryption scores 17938 and extended instructions score 21592, so the Intel part is strong across both general and specialized instruction loads.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no benchmark wins because no scores are recorded. Its specification sheet shows 6 cores and 12 threads with a 35 W TDP, which suggests a lower power envelope than the Intel part's 65 W TDP. The AMD part uses DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. On paper, the AMD part has a higher memory bandwidth figure, but without benchmark data, the actual performance advantage cannot be confirmed. The Intel Core 5 211E is the only part with measurable wins, and it holds those wins across every recorded test.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different fabs and process nodes. AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry. The AMD die measures 195 mm², and the Intel die measures 257 mm². The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which is based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 5 generation. Both parts use dual-channel memory controllers, but the AMD part supports only DDR5, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. ECC memory is supported on both.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 10 cores and 16 threads. That is a 4-core and 4-thread advantage for Intel. Cache layouts also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB of L2 cache per core. L3 cache is 8 MB on the AMD part, while the Intel part has 20 MB shared L3. That is a 12 MB difference in favor of Intel. The Intel part also has a higher base clock at 2.70 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, and a higher boost clock at 4.90 GHz versus 4.80 GHz.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part has a newer PCIe generation and more lanes. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part has Radeon 840M, while the Intel part has UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221, and the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. The Intel part uses Socket 1700, while the AMD part uses Socket AM5. The Intel part was released on 2025-01-12, and the AMD part was released on 2026-02-28.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark records exist in the database, so the analysis depends on the Intel Core 5 211E's standalone scores. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20389 and single-core score of 2878 show that the Intel part handles both parallel and single-threaded workloads effectively. The Cinebench R20 multicore score of 8563 and single-core score of 1208 follow the same pattern, as do the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2055 and single-core score of 289. The PassMark multithread score of 23833 and single-thread score of 4006 align with those results.

In specialized tasks, the Intel part shows specific strengths. The PassMark data compression score of 346757 indicates that compression workloads run quickly. The integer math score of 88117 and floating-point math score of 66402 show balanced arithmetic performance. The extended instructions score of 21592 suggests good support for SIMD and other specialized instruction sets. The data encryption score of 17938 and random string sorting score of 34308 round out the picture. The find prime numbers score of 43 is a low absolute number, but that test is typically scored on a different scale, so it does not indicate poor performance. The physics score of 702 is also on a separate scale.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no benchmark entries, there is no direct head-to-head data. The Intel part's scores stand alone. Comparing the two on specifications alone, the Intel part has more cores, more threads, more cache, higher clocks, and a newer PCIe generation. The AMD part has a smaller process node, higher memory bandwidth, and an unlocked multiplier. Those specification differences do not translate into measured performance without benchmark data.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core 5 211E, but only because it is the only part with recorded measurements. The Intel part sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37829. Its nearest rivals are all AMD Ryzen AI parts or an Intel Core i9, with score deltas under 0.2%, so the Intel Core 5 211E is closely matched with top-tier competition. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile rank, so its measured position in the database is unknown.

For workloads that rely on multi-core throughput, the Intel part's 10 cores and 16 threads, combined with its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20389, make it the stronger option based on available data. For single-threaded responsiveness, its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2878 and PassMark single-thread score of 4006 are solid. The Intel part also has more L2 and L3 cache, which can help in cache-sensitive tasks. The AMD part has a smaller process node, higher memory bandwidth, and an unlocked multiplier, but those advantages are not backed by benchmark results in the database. A builder looking at the recorded data would pick the Intel Core 5 211E. A builder looking at the AMD part's specifications alone would need to wait for measured results before making a definitive choice.
