AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core 3 100UL Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 as the substantially stronger processor in almost every measurable category. Its average benchmark score of 41,208 places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel Core 3 100UL sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores. The AMD part delivers a multi-thread score of 21,054 and a single-thread score of 3,785, figures that the Intel processor cannot match based on the database entries. For workloads that stress integer math, floating-point math, data compression, or encryption, the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the clear choice from the available data. The Intel Core 3 100UL offers no recorded performance measurements, leaving its actual capability undefined in the database, so any selection between these two must favor the AMD part unless the specific platform constraints (socket, memory type, or power envelope) dictate otherwise.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 3 100UL uses the older Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-PS codename, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process. The manufacturing node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which helps explain the AMD part's higher clock speeds and efficiency characteristics.

Core and thread counts differ despite both having 6 physical cores. The AMD chip supports 12 threads through simultaneous multithreading, while the Intel chip supports only 8 threads, indicating no equivalent multithreading capability per core. Base clock speeds show a substantial gap: the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz base and boosts to 4.80 GHz, whereas the Intel part starts at 1.20 GHz and boosts to 4.50 GHz. The cache hierarchy also diverges. Both share the same 80 KB L1 per core, but the AMD chip has 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB of L3, while the Intel chip has 1.25 MB L2 per core and 10 MB of shared L3. That gives Intel a larger total L3 cache, yet the AMD part still dominates in benchmark results, suggesting the architectural efficiency of Zen 5 outweighs the raw cache capacity advantage.

Memory support splits along platform lines. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel operation and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, plus ECC memory support. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel operation but no ECC and no recorded bandwidth figure. PCIe lane availability also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with only 8 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well, with AMD using the Radeon 840M and Intel using UHD Graphics 64EU. The Intel part targets the desktop market segment and uses Socket 1700, while the AMD part targets mobile and uses AMD Socket FP8. The Intel chip launched on 2024-04-07, while the AMD chip's release date is listed as 2026-01-04, indicating a newer design from AMD. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array in the database is empty, meaning no direct paired measurements exist between these two specific processors. However, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has a full set of Passmark results that stand on their own. Its integer math score is 65,991, its floating-point math score is 42,934, and its extended instructions score is 18,456. The data compression test returns 256,420, while data encryption scores 12,418. The find prime numbers test returns 77, random string sorting scores 27,252, and physics scores 1,119. The single-thread score is 3,785, and the multi-thread score is 21,054. Every one of these figures has no counterpart for the Intel Core 3 100UL, which lacks any recorded benchmark results. The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 41,208, while the Intel part shows 0. The AMD processor's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H at an average score of 41,215 with a delta of 0%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H at 41,263 with a delta of -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X at 41,376 with a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H at 40,967 with a delta of 0.6%. These deltas indicate that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 sits within a tight performance cluster around 41,000 average score, essentially matching the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H and trailing the Ryzen 9 5900X by only 0.4%. The Intel Core 3 100UL has no such competitive context in the database, reinforcing the conclusion that the AMD part is the only one with meaningful measured performance data.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins in every benchmark category where a score exists. The multi-thread score of 21,054 indicates strong parallel workload capability, while the single-thread score of 3,785 suggests solid responsiveness in lightly threaded applications. The data encryption score of 12,418 and data compression score of 256,420 point to specific strengths in security-related and storage-related tasks. The floating-point math score of 42,934 and integer math score of 65,991 cover general computational workloads. The physics score of 1,119 and extended instructions score of 18,456 round out the performance profile.

The Intel Core 3 100UL has no recorded wins in the database because its benchmark array is empty. Its only documented advantages are structural rather than performance-based: a lower TDP of 15 W compared to 28 W, support for DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, a larger L3 cache of 10 MB versus 8 MB, and a desktop market segment classification. The Intel part also uses Socket 1700, which may be relevant for platform compatibility, and it has an earlier release date of 2024-04-07. The AMD processor, by contrast, offers 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes versus 8, ECC memory support, a higher memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s, and a smaller 4 nm process node. For any workload that relies on CPU computation, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the only processor in this comparison with measurable performance data, and that data places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 100UL's 50th percentile rating, combined with zero recorded benchmark scores, leaves it without a demonstrated performance advantage in any category.
