AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 and Intel Core 7 251E occupy different positions in the database. The AMD part is a 6-core, 12-thread mobile processor with a 28 W TDP, a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, and a recorded average benchmark score of 41208. The Intel part is a 24-core, 32-thread desktop processor with a 65 W TDP, a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, and no recorded benchmark results. No direct head-to-head benchmark pair exists for these two processors, so the comparison relies on the AMD processor’s measured scores, the Intel processor’s specification sheet, and the nearest-rival data attached to the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing, and the win count is zero for both processors. Because the Intel Core 7 251E has no benchmark entries, there are no per-test deltas to report. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 has a PassMark record with single-thread 3785, multithread 21054, integer math 65991, floating point math 42934, data compression 256420, data encryption 12418, extended instructions 18456, find prime numbers 77, physics 1119, and random string sorting 27252. Its average benchmark score is 41208, placing it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel part is listed at the 50th percentile, but it has no benchmark scores to support a per-test comparison.

The AMD part’s nearest-rival list provides the only direct score comparisons in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H has an average score of 41215 and a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H averages 41263, making the AMD part 0.1 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X averages 41376, making the AMD part 0.4 percent lower. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H averages 40967, making the AMD part 0.6 percent higher. The Intel Core 7 251E has no nearest-rival entries. The absence of Intel benchmark results means the biggest wins in this comparison are specification wins, not measured wins.

Architecture Differences

The database lists different architectural identifiers for the two processors. AMD lists the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 as Zen 5 architecture with the codename Gorgon Point and the generation Ryzen AI PRO 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). Intel lists no architecture name for the Core 7 251E; its generation is Core 7 (Bartlett Lake) and its codename is Bartlett Lake. AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The die sizes are 195 mm² for AMD and 257 mm² for Intel.

Cache design differs as well. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. AMD gives each core 1 MB of L2 and has an 8 MB L3 cache. Intel gives each core 2 MB of L2 and has a 36 MB shared L3 cache. Both memory controllers are dual-channel and both are rated at 89.6 GB/s, but the supported memory types differ: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both support ECC memory.

Platform integration also differs. AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, integrated Radeon 840M graphics, and PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes. Intel uses Intel Socket 1700, integrated UHD Graphics 770, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. AMD is classified as a mobile processor, Intel as a desktop processor. Both parts are active production parts with locked multipliers.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the only one of these two processors with a measured benchmark profile. Its average benchmark score is 41208, it sits at the 87th percentile, and its nearest-rival deltas are 0, -0.1, -0.4, and +0.6 percent against four other CPUs in the database. The Intel Core 7 251E has no measured scores, but its specification sheet shows a much larger compute configuration: 24 cores, 32 threads, 5.60 GHz boost, 2 MB L2 per core, 36 MB L3, PCIe Gen 5, and a desktop socket.

The AMD part is the processor to select when the decision rests on benchmark results. The Intel part is the processor to select when the decision rests on raw core count, thread count, cache capacity, and desktop platform features. The Intel part’s measured record is empty, so its 50th percentile cannot be compared against the AMD part’s 87th percentile with the same benchmark evidence. The AMD part has no such limitation: its scores are present in the database, and its nearest-rival data shows it trading places with multiple Core Ultra 7 parts and a Ryzen 9 part.

Where Each One Wins

Because the Intel part has no benchmark entries, the AMD part wins every recorded benchmark category by default. The AMD scores are single-thread 3785, multithread 21054, integer math 65991, floating point math 42934, data compression 256420, data encryption 12418, extended instructions 18456, find prime numbers 77, physics 1119, and random string sorting 27252. The Intel part wins every specification category where the database shows a larger value: cores 24 vs 6, threads 32 vs 12, base clock 2.10 vs 2.00, boost clock 5.60 vs 4.80, L2 cache 2 MB per core vs 1 MB, L3 cache 36 MB vs 8 MB, PCIe Gen 5 vs Gen 4, and desktop socket vs mobile socket. The Intel part also has a higher TDP at 65 vs 28, which is a platform requirement rather than a measured performance win.

The use-case split follows directly. AMD for mobile systems where measured PassMark results matter. Intel for desktop systems where core count, thread count, cache size, and PCIe generation matter. No direct head-to-head benchmark wins are recorded for either processor, so the split is determined by the available measurements and the differing specifications.
