Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Gorgon Point codename and are built on TSMC's 4 nm process, but they belong to different generations according to the database. The 435G is listed under the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c core configuration, while the 445 is listed under the Ryzen AI 400 generation with the same Zen 5 / Zen 5c configuration. The 445 explicitly records its architecture as Zen 5, whereas the 435G does not have a separate architecture field populated.

Cache hierarchies are identical in capacity: both use 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3. The core counts match as well, with each part providing 6 cores and 12 threads. The integrated graphics are also the same, with both carrying the Radeon 840M.

The 445 adds support for LPDDR5X memory alongside DDR5, while the 435G lists only DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses and record the same 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. ECC memory support is enabled on both. PCIe connectivity differs: the 435G provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes (CPU only), while the 445 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only).

The market segment is the clearest architectural split. The 435G is classified as Desktop, while the 445 is classified as Mobile. This aligns with their sockets: the 435G uses AMD Socket AM5, and the 445 uses AMD Socket FP8. Both have locked multipliers, meaning neither offers unlocked overclocking.

Specification Differences

The table below summarizes only the fields where the two processors differ. Core count, thread count, base clock, L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, memory bandwidth, ECC support, integrated graphics, process node, foundry, production status, and multiplier unlock status are identical and therefore not repeated.

| Specification | AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G | AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 |

|---|---|---|

| Boost Clock | 4.50 GHz | 4.60 GHz |

| TDP | 65 W | 28 W |

| Socket | AMD Socket AM5 | AMD Socket FP8 |

| Architecture | Not specified | Zen 5 |

| Generation | Ryzen AI PRO 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c) | Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c) |

| Memory Support | DDR5 | DDR5, LPDDR5X |

| PCIe | Gen 4, 10 Lanes (CPU only) | Gen 4, 14 Lanes (CPU only) |

| Market Segment | Desktop | Mobile |

| Release Date | 2026-03-01 | 2026-01-04 |

| Part Number | 100-000001783 | 100-000001935 |

The boost clock difference is small, 4.60 GHz for the 445 versus 4.50 GHz for the 435G. The TDP difference is substantial, with the 435G rated at 65 W and the 445 at 28 W. The release dates place the 445 earlier, with the 435G launching about two months later.

The Verdict

The benchmark data favors the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G across nearly every measured workload. Its average score of 40718 is roughly 51% higher than the 445's 26936, and its 87th percentile ranking places it well above the 445's 79th percentile. The 435G leads in multithreaded performance by 12%, in single-thread performance by 6.6%, and in data compression by 17.5%. For workloads that stress extended instructions, encryption, or random string sorting, the 435G holds margins between 15.1% and 18.1%. The only counterpoint is the 445's 1.8% edge in prime number finding, a narrow result that does not offset the overall pattern.

The 445's strengths lie in its platform characteristics rather than its raw benchmark scores. Its 28 W TDP contrasts sharply with the 435G's 65 W, and its FP8 socket together with its Mobile classification indicate a design intended for lower-power portable systems. The 445 also adds LPDDR5X memory support and two additional PCIe lanes. These differences matter for system integration: the 445 suits a mobile chassis where power draw and memory flexibility are priorities, while the 435G fits a desktop AM5 build.

From the recorded data, the choice depends on the target platform and power envelope. The 435G delivers higher scores in 10 of 11 tests and a significantly higher average, making it the stronger performer for compute-heavy desktop workloads. The 445 offers a lower TDP, mobile socket compatibility, and LPDDR5X support, along with a slightly higher boost clock, which may be relevant for compact or battery-powered designs. Neither part offers an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not a differentiating factor. The database positions the 435G against desktop-class rivals such as the Intel Xeon 6357P and Intel Core 7 253PE, while the 445 competes with mobile and older desktop parts like the Intel Core i7-1370P and AMD Ryzen 7 5700G. These competitive contexts reinforce the segmentation: the 435G is the desktop performer, and the 445 is the efficient mobile option.
