AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The PassMark benchmark suite paints a clear picture: the Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates most compute-heavy workloads, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins a smaller number of targeted tests. Of the eleven head-to-head comparisons, Intel takes eight and AMD takes three.

Intel's strongest showing comes in floating point math, where it scores 71,722 against AMD's 42,934, a 40.1% advantage. Integer math follows the same trend: Intel scores 93,109 versus AMD's 65,991, a 29.1% lead. The physics test is even more lopsided, with Intel at 2,199 and AMD at 1,119, a 49.1% deficit for the AMD chip. Prime number finding is the single largest gap: Intel scores 157, AMD only 77, a 51% difference.

Multithreaded performance also favors Intel. The Core 5 213PTE records 25,590 in the PassMark multithread test, while the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 21,054, a 17.7% margin. Data encryption shows a 13.8% Intel lead (14,413 versus 12,418), and random string sorting goes to Intel by 9.5% (30,106 versus 27,252). Data compression is closer: Intel wins 261,083 to 256,420, just a 1.8% gap.

AMD's wins are narrower but real. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 leads in extended instructions, scoring 18,456 versus Intel's 16,146, a 14.3% advantage. In single-thread performance, AMD edges out Intel 3,785 to 3,718, a 1.8% lead. That result appears twice in the database, under both "passmark_single_thread" and "passmark_singlethread," with identical scores.

The overall average benchmark scores reflect this split. The AMD chip averages 41,208 across its benchmark set, while the Intel chip averages 32,924. That gap is explained by the benchmark mix: AMD's recorded tests are all PassMark workloads, whereas Intel's set includes Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 runs alongside the PassMark tests. The Cinebench results for Intel are strong on their own terms: 2,192 in R15 multicore, 9,135 in R20 multicore, and 21,751 in R23 multicore. Single-core Cinebench scores are 309 in R15, 1,289 in R20, and 3,070 in R23.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates two different design priorities. The Intel Core 5 213PTE is the stronger raw performer in most throughput-oriented tasks. It wins every math-heavy PassMark workload by double digits, and its multithread score of 25,590 puts it 17.7% ahead of the AMD part. The physics result (2,199 versus 1,119) and prime number result (157 versus 77) are the clearest indications of Intel's compute advantage. For users whose workloads lean on integer math, floating point math, or physics simulation, the data points firmly to Intel.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 counters with the better single-thread score (3,785 versus 3,718), a 14.3% win in extended instructions, and a higher average benchmark score (41,208 versus 32,924). The extended instructions result suggests AMD handles specialized instruction sets more efficiently. The single-thread lead, while small, is consistent across both database entries for that test.

Market positioning differs as well. AMD sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while Intel sits at the 83rd percentile. AMD's nearest rival is the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H with an average score of 41,215, a 0% delta. Intel's nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-12700 at 32,942, a 0.1% delta. These rival clusters show that AMD's average score lands it among high-end laptop-class parts, while Intel's average places it alongside established desktop processors.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different design schools. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that mixes 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 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename in the Core 5 generation, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The database does not list a die size for Intel.

Cache organization differs significantly. Both chips use 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part uses 2 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. That larger L3 pool likely contributes to Intel's data-heavy workload wins, especially in compression and sorting tests where cached data reuse matters.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs by generation: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The packages target different sockets and segments. AMD uses AMD Socket FP8 and is listed as a mobile part. Intel uses Intel Socket 1700 and is listed as a desktop part. Both are active in production and both have locked multipliers. AMD's part number is 100-000001866; Intel's is SA4QM.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ: AMD has 6 cores and 12 threads, Intel has 8 cores and 16 threads. Clock speeds favor Intel on both ends: AMD runs a 2.00 GHz base with a 4.80 GHz boost, Intel runs a 2.10 GHz base with a 5.20 GHz boost. Thermal design power differs substantially: AMD is rated at 28 W, Intel at 45 W.

Process node and foundry are different: AMD uses 4 nm at TSMC, Intel uses 10 nm at Intel. The L2 cache per core is 1 MB for AMD versus 2 MB for Intel, and the L3 cache is 8 MB for AMD versus 24 MB shared for Intel. Memory bandwidth is higher on AMD at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s on Intel. PCIe generation is Gen 4 for AMD and Gen 5 for Intel. The integrated graphics units are the Radeon 840M for AMD and UHD Graphics 730 for Intel.

Release dates differ by two months: AMD is dated January 4, 2026, Intel is dated March 8, 2026. Intel has a launch MSRP of $221; AMD has no listed launch MSRP. The market segments also differ, with AMD listed as mobile and Intel listed as desktop.
