AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Processor N150 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include any direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE and the Intel Processor N150. The database contains no shared test results where both processors were measured under identical workloads, so a direct score comparison is not possible from the available measurements. The Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Processor N150 has four recorded Cinebench results.

The Intel Processor N150 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 2590.5 points and a single-core score of 935 points. In the older Cinebench R15 suite, it records 422.5 points multi-core and 153.15 points single-core. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 1025, placing it in the 28th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The absence of benchmark data for the AMD part means the database cannot quantify its performance advantage in any workload. What can be stated is that the Ryzen AI 5 440GE carries a 50th percentile ranking based on its specification profile, while the Intel Processor N150 sits at the 28th percentile. The nearest rivals to the Intel Processor N150 show how tightly clustered its performance is: the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T matches its average score of 1024, a delta of 0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U also scores 1024, again a 0.1% delta. The Intel Core i3-4340 averages 1026, a negative delta of 0.1%, and the Intel Core i7-5650U averages 1027, a negative delta of 0.2%. These figures indicate the N150 performs within a narrow band around its closest historical counterparts.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in nearly every architectural dimension. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture. The Intel Processor N150 uses the Twin Lake architecture and belongs to the Intel Processor generation based on Alder Lake-N. The manufacturing processes differ by foundry and node: AMD fabricates the 440GE on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while Intel builds the N150 on a 10 nm process at its own fabs.

Core counts separate the two clearly. The Ryzen AI 5 440GE provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Processor N150 provides 4 cores and 4 threads. The AMD part has no simultaneous multithreading on the Intel side to match, as the N150 runs one thread per core. Clock behavior also differs dramatically. The AMD chip has a 2.00 GHz base clock and a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The Intel chip lists a 0.10 GHz base clock and a 3.60 GHz boost clock, an unusually low base figure that reflects its low-power orientation.

Cache layouts follow different philosophies. The Ryzen AI 5 440GE allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Processor N150 uses 96 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part therefore provides more total L2 capacity across its six cores (6 MB versus 2 MB) and a larger L3 pool (8 MB versus 6 MB), while the Intel part has a larger per-core L1 allocation.

Memory support is another clear differentiator. The Ryzen AI 5 440GE supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, delivering 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and includes ECC memory support. The Intel Processor N150 supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 memory, but only over a single-channel bus, yielding 38.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and it lacks ECC support. The AMD platform also uses a more modern PCIe interface: Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, versus Gen 3 with 9 lanes from the Intel CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part features the Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD processor is designed for the desktop market segment with an AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor targets the mobile segment with an Intel BGA 1264 socket. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, making overclocking possible, whereas the Intel chip has a locked multiplier. The AMD die size is recorded at 195 mm², while no die size is listed for the Intel part. Release timing also differs: the AMD part launched on 2026-02-28, and the Intel part launched on 2024-11-19, a gap of more than a year.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear segmentation between these two processors, although direct benchmark comparisons are absent. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE presents a substantially higher specification profile: double the core count, triple the thread count, a 1.20 GHz higher boost clock, more than double the memory bandwidth, a larger L3 cache, ECC support, a newer PCIe generation, and an unlocked multiplier. Its 35 watt TDP and desktop socket indicate a part designed for conventional desktop workloads where power draw is secondary to throughput. The Intel Processor N150, by contrast, uses a 6 watt TDP, a mobile BGA socket, and a single-channel memory bus, indicating a low-power part aimed at compact, fanless, or battery-conscious systems.

The benchmark data available for the Intel Processor N150 places it at the 28th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 1025, and its nearest rivals cluster within 0.2% of that figure. The AMD part carries a 50th percentile ranking, though no measured scores back that ranking in the database. Buyers seeking multi-threaded desktop performance, higher memory throughput, ECC support, and overclocking capability should select the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE. Buyers prioritizing minimal power consumption, flexible memory types including LPDDR5, and a mobile form factor should select the Intel Processor N150. The recorded data does not support any claim of measured performance equivalence or superiority beyond these specification-driven observations.
