AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 and Intel Core 5 211TE are positioned for different platforms, yet their benchmark data reveals a decisive performance gap. The AMD part, a 6-core Zen 5 mobile processor, dominates nearly every recorded workload, while the Intel chip, a 10-core desktop part, manages a single victory. The numbers show a clear hierarchy, but the nature of that lead varies significantly by task type.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most striking result in the database is the single-threaded performance differential. In the passmark_single_thread test, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 3785, which is a 168.8% advantage over the Intel Core 5 211TE’s 1408. This is not a marginal lead; it is a near-2.7x improvement in raw per-core throughput. The same delta appears in the passmark_singlethread test, confirming the result is consistent and not an outlier. This suggests the Zen 5 architecture delivers substantially higher instructions per clock than the Bartlett Lake design, at least in this specific measurement.

Beyond single-thread, the AMD processor extends its lead into multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. The largest percentage gap is in passmark_extended_instructions, where AMD scores 18456 versus Intel’s 8615, a 114.2% difference. This indicates that the AMD part handles advanced instruction sets (like AVX-512 or similar) with significantly greater efficiency. Following closely is passmark_integer_math: AMD at 65991, Intel at 33991, a 94.1% lead. For data compression, AMD scores 256420 against 133434, a 92.2% advantage, showing better throughput for archive and storage workloads.

The pattern repeats across several other tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins passmark_random_string_sorting with 27252 versus 14838, a 83.7% margin. The passmark_multithread score shows AMD at 21054 and Intel at 11685, an 80.2% difference. In passmark_data_encryption, AMD leads with 12418 against 7231, a 71.7% gap. Even in passmark_floating_point_math, AMD’s 42934 outpaces Intel’s 26150 by 64.2%. The only test where Intel wins is passmark_physics, where it scores 1278 against AMD’s 1119, a 12.4% advantage for Intel. The smallest AMD win is in passmark_find_prime_numbers, with a score of 77 versus 72, a 6.9% margin.

The overall benchmark averages reflect this dominance. The AMD part has an average benchmark score of 41208, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part averages 15370, sitting in the 69th percentile. The nearest rival data for each confirms the gap: the AMD part is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (0% delta), while the Intel part is comparable to the AMD EPYC 7543 (-0.7% delta). These are different performance tiers entirely.

Where Each One Wins

The data splits cleanly into two categories: AMD wins everything compute-heavy, Intel wins one physics simulation test. For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440, the wins are in integer math, floating point math, data compression, encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, and both single-thread and multi-thread workloads. This makes it suitable for general-purpose computing, content creation, and any task that relies on raw CPU throughput. The 168.8% single-thread lead is particularly relevant for lightly-threaded applications like web browsing, office productivity, and legacy software that cannot use multiple cores.

The passmark_multithread score of 21054 indicates strong scaling across its 12 threads, despite having fewer physical cores than the Intel part. This suggests the Zen 5 cores are more efficient per thread. The Intel Core 5 211TE’s sole win in passmark_physics (1278 versus 1119) is notable because physics simulations often rely on specific instruction paths or cache behavior. The Intel part’s larger 20 MB L3 cache (shared) versus AMD’s 8 MB may contribute to this result, as physics engines frequently access large datasets. However, this is a single test, and the 12.4% margin is modest compared to the 168.8% deficit in single-thread performance.

For workloads that depend on extended instruction sets, the AMD part’s 114.2% lead is decisive. This includes scientific computing, cryptography, and media encoding that utilize AVX-512 or similar. The Intel part’s lower scores in these areas suggest it is not optimized for such tasks. The data shows the AMD processor is the better choice for any task that stresses the CPU’s arithmetic units, while the Intel part may be preferable for specific physics-based simulations where its cache hierarchy provides an edge.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is built on the Zen 5 architecture, with the codename Gorgon Point and a generation listed as Ryzen AI PRO 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 5 211TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, with a generation listed as Core 5 (Bartlett Lake), and is produced on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². The process node difference (4 nm versus 10 nm) is significant, but the database does not provide transistor counts for either part.

The core configurations differ. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 10 cores and 16 threads. Intel’s advantage of 4 additional cores and 4 additional threads does not translate into a performance win in the recorded benchmarks, except for the physics test. The cache layouts are also distinct. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. For L2 cache, the AMD part uses 1 MB per core, while the Intel part uses 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows a notable divergence: AMD has 8 MB total, while Intel has 20 MB shared. Intel’s larger L3 cache is three times the size of AMD’s, yet it does not provide a consistent advantage in the tests.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core 5 211TE uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not contain benchmark scores for these iGPUs, so no performance comparison is possible from the recorded data. The AMD part supports ECC memory, as does the Intel part, and both use dual-channel memory buses. The memory bandwidth figures differ: AMD records 89.6 GB/s, while Intel records 76.8 GB/s, a 16.7% advantage for AMD that may contribute to its higher bandwidth-sensitive scores.

Specification Differences

The specification sheet shows several fields where the two parts differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has a base clock of 2.00 GHz, while the Intel Core 5 211TE has a base clock of 1.70 GHz. Both share the same boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The TDP differs significantly: AMD is 28 watts, Intel is 45 watts. This is a 17-watt gap, indicating the AMD part is more power-efficient, though the database does not provide any power consumption measurements. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The market segments are different: AMD is classified as Mobile, Intel is Desktop.

The process nodes are different, as noted earlier: AMD uses 4 nm TSMC, Intel uses 10 nm Intel. The memory support lists DDR5 and LPDDR5X for AMD, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. The PCIe interface differs: AMD has Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), Intel has Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This gives Intel a potential bandwidth advantage for PCIe devices, though the database does not include any PCIe benchmark results. The release dates are different: AMD was released on 2026-01-04, Intel on 2025-01-12. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The part numbers are distinct: AMD is 100-000001866, Intel is SRQDL.

The production status for both is Active, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The L2 cache per core differs (1 MB versus 1.25 MB), and the L3 cache configuration is different (8 MB for AMD, 20 MB shared for Intel). The memory bandwidth is higher for AMD (89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s), and the die size is larger for Intel (215 mm² versus 195 mm²). The architecture field is null for Intel, while AMD lists Zen 5. The codenames are different: Gorgon Point versus Bartlett Lake.
