AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive margin in favor of the Intel Core 5 213PE across every recorded workload. In the 15 head-to-head comparisons, Intel wins all 15, with the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 trailing in each instance. The largest gap appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where Intel scores 22468 against AMD's 11534, a delta of -48.7%. This means the Intel part delivers nearly double the multi-threaded render performance in that specific test.

Single-core results also favor Intel, though by a smaller margin. In Cinebench R23 single-core, Intel records 3172 versus AMD's 1802, a -43.2% delta. The Cinebench R15 tests follow the same pattern: multi-core shows Intel at 2264 against AMD's 1743 (-23%), and single-core shows Intel at 319 versus 276 (-13.5%). The single-thread gap narrows further in PassMark single-thread, where Intel scores 4060 and AMD scores 3758, a delta of only -7.4%. That is the closest margin of any benchmark in the comparison, indicating the AMD chip's Zen 5 architecture is comparatively competitive in lightly threaded integer work.

The PassMark suite reveals consistent Intel advantages in specialized workloads. Data compression shows Intel at 298804 versus AMD's 221581 (-25.8%). Data encryption follows with Intel at 15916 against 11212 (-29.6%). Extended instructions show a smaller gap: Intel at 19565 versus 15721 (-19.6%). Prime number finding, a workload sensitive to integer throughput, shows Intel at 114 versus AMD's 74 (-35.1%). Floating-point math shows Intel at 68587 versus 39662 (-42.2%), a substantial margin that aligns with the Cinebench multi-core deficit. Integer math shows Intel at 92089 versus 63233 (-31.3%). The multithread PassMark score gives Intel 26434 versus 19215 (-27.3%). Physics simulation shows Intel at 1624 versus 1084 (-33.3%). Random string sorting gives Intel 32027 against AMD's 24334 (-24%).

The average benchmark score in the database places Intel at 35428, compared to AMD's 27932, a difference of roughly 7496 points. The Intel part ranks in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 80th percentile. Intel's nearest rivals in the database include the Core i7-13700T (avg 35403, delta 0.1%), the Core i7-12700KF (avg 35365, delta 0.2%), the Core i5-13600T (avg 35305, delta 0.3%), and the Core i7-12700K (avg 35287, delta 0.4%). AMD's nearest rivals include the Ryzen 7 5800X3D (avg 27896, delta 0.1%), the Ryzen 7 6800U (avg 27887, delta 0.2%), the Core i9-10900K (avg 27872, delta 0.2%), and the Core i9-12900H (avg 28003, delta -0.3%). These rival comparisons place both processors in distinct performance tiers, with Intel's average score roughly 26.9% higher than AMD's.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins in every benchmark category recorded, so there is no workload in the database where the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 takes a lead. The Intel part's advantages are largest in multi-core render workloads, where the Cinebench R23 multi-core delta of -48.7% indicates a near-doubling of throughput. Floating-point math also shows a wide gap at -42.2%, suggesting strong FPU performance that benefits scientific and simulation workloads. Physics simulation, at -33.3%, and prime number finding, at -35.1%, further indicate Intel's advantage in computationally dense integer tasks.

The AMD part's smallest deficit is in single-thread PassMark, where it trails by only -7.4%. This suggests that for lightly threaded applications, the two processors are closer in performance than the multi-core results imply. The Cinebench R15 single-core delta of -13.5% and the PassMark single-thread delta of -7.4% both point to a relatively modest single-core gap. However, AMD still loses those tests. The data shows no test where AMD's architecture, clock strategy, or cache configuration produces a win.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward: the Intel Core 5 213PE is the stronger choice for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and math-intensive tasks, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 is closest in single-threaded integer scenarios but still behind. The database records zero wins for AMD across all head-to-head entries.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 uses Zen 5 architecture under the codename Krackan Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI PRO 300 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename in the Core 5 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is significant: the AMD chip uses a smaller manufacturing process, which typically enables higher transistor density and lower power draw, though the benchmark results do not reflect a performance advantage for AMD.

Core configurations differ substantially. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache differs: AMD uses 1 MB per core, while Intel uses 2 MB per core. The L3 cache shows an even larger gap: AMD has 8 MB total, while Intel has 24 MB shared. This larger cache pool likely contributes to Intel's strong performance in data compression and encryption workloads, where working sets can exceed smaller caches.

Memory support also differs. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The recorded memory bandwidth shows AMD at 89.6 GB/s versus Intel at 76.8 GB/s, meaning AMD has a theoretical bandwidth advantage despite losing all bandwidth-sensitive benchmarks in the data. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), giving Intel a newer interconnect standard.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The socket types are entirely different: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile platform, while Intel uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform. This places the two chips in different market segments, with AMD classified as Mobile and Intel as Desktop. Power targets reflect this: AMD has a TDP of 28, while Intel has a TDP of 65. The release dates also differ, with AMD released in January 2025 and Intel scheduled for March 2026.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field. Core and thread counts show Intel ahead with 8 cores and 16 threads versus AMD's 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks differ: AMD starts at 2.00 GHz, while Intel starts at 2.70 GHz. Boost clocks also differ: AMD reaches 4.80 GHz, while Intel reaches 5.20 GHz. The TDP difference is notable, with AMD at 28 and Intel at 65, reflecting their mobile versus desktop positioning.

The process node and foundry differ: AMD uses a 4 nm process at TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process at Intel. The codenames differ (Krackan Point versus Bartlett Lake), as do the generations (Ryzen AI PRO 300 versus Core 5). The die size is recorded only for AMD at 195 mm², with no die size listed for Intel. Cache hierarchies differ in L2 and L3: AMD has 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3, while Intel has 2 MB L2 per core and 24 MB shared L3. Both share the same 80 KB L1 per core.

Memory support shows AMD with DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both are dual-channel. Memory bandwidth favors AMD at 89.6 GB/s versus Intel's 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generation differs: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes, Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 840M on AMD, UHD Graphics 730 on Intel. Market segment differs (Mobile versus Desktop), as do the sockets (AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel Socket 1700). The launch MSRP for Intel is $221, stated once here, while AMD has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. Part numbers differ: 100-000001600 for AMD, SA4QG for Intel.
