Architecture Differences

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 fabricated on a 4 nm TSMC process and measures 195 mm². The Intel Processor N150 uses the Twin Lake architecture, part of the Intel Processor (Alder Lake-N) generation, on a 10 nm Intel process. The die size for the Intel chip is not recorded in the database.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel chip provides 96 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of shared L2, and 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD L2 is per-core, while the Intel L2 is shared across all cores.

Memory support is another split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, with ECC enabled. The Intel processor supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 over a single-channel bus, without ECC. PCIe connectivity also differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while Intel offers Gen 3 with 9 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics are present on both. AMD uses the Radeon 840M; Intel uses the UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part has a 28 W TDP rating, while the Intel part has a 6 W TDP rating. Sockets are different as well: AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel BGA 1264. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. However, the recorded individual benchmark suites allow a comparison across different workloads.

In PassMark tests, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 shows dominant results. For integer math, it scores 65,991. For floating point math, it scores 42,934. The Intel Processor N150 does not have corresponding PassMark integer or floating point scores in the database, so a direct delta is not available.

The AMD chip also records 12,418 in data encryption, 18,456 in extended instructions, 27,252 in random string sorting, and 256,420 in data compression. Its single-thread score is 3,785, and its multithread score is 21,054. The Intel chip instead has Cinebench results: 2,590.5 in Cinebench R23 multicore, 935 in Cinebench R23 singlecore, 422.5 in Cinebench R15 multicore, and 153.15 in Cinebench R15 singlecore.

The average benchmark score gap is large: 41,208 versus 1,025, which is roughly a 40x difference. The AMD processor's percentile ranking of 87 places it near the top of the CPU population, while the Intel processor's 28th percentile places it below most desktop and mobile parts.

The nearest rivals for the AMD chip are the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (average score 41,215, delta 0%), the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41,263, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X (41,376, delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H (40,967, delta 0.6%). The nearest rivals for the Intel chip are the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T (1,024, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core i3-4340 (1,026, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U (1,024, delta 0.1%), and the Intel Core i7-5650U (1,027, delta -0.2%).

Benchmark results indicate that the AMD part competes with high-end mobile H-series processors and desktop Ryzen 9 parts, while the Intel part competes with decade-old desktop and mobile chips. The AMD chip's single-thread score of 3,785 is in line with modern high-performance laptop silicon, while the Intel chip's Cinebench R23 singlecore score of 935 reflects a low-power efficiency design.

The Verdict

The benchmark data positions the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 as a high-performance mobile processor. Its average score of 41,208 places it in the 87th percentile, with rivals including the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost clock and 8 MB of L3 cache supports heavy multithreaded workloads such as compilation, rendering, and data processing.

The Intel Processor N150 is a low-power efficiency part. Its 6 W TDP and 4-core, 4-thread design with a 0.10 GHz base clock and 3.60 GHz boost clock target fanless or passively cooled systems. The 28th percentile ranking and nearest rivals such as the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T and Intel Core i3-4340 indicate it delivers performance comparable to entry-level desktop parts from a decade ago.

For workloads that demand high single-thread and multithread throughput, the AMD part is the clear choice. The 12 threads, dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and ECC support suit professional applications that need data integrity. The Intel part, with its 6 W TDP and support for DDR4 in addition to DDR5 and LPDDR5, fits embedded or low-cost mobile designs where power draw is the primary constraint.

The recorded data shows no head-to-head benchmark results, so direct workload comparisons are not available. However, the average scores and percentile rankings provide sufficient evidence: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 outperforms the Intel Processor N150 by a wide margin across aggregate metrics. The Intel chip's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 2,590.5 is far below the AMD chip's PassMark multithread score of 21,054, though the different test suites prevent a precise percentage comparison.

The AMD chip's nearest rival list includes processors with average scores within 0.6% of its own, confirming it sits in a competitive high-end segment. The Intel chip's nearest rival list includes processors with average scores within 0.2%, confirming it sits in a low-performance segment. The database records no wins for either chip in head-to-head tests, as no such tests exist.

For a system builder prioritizing throughput, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 delivers the higher core count, faster clocks, larger cache pool, and broader memory bandwidth. For a system builder prioritizing minimal power consumption and simple single-channel memory, the Intel Processor N150 offers a much lower TDP and a smaller physical footprint in terms of socket requirements. The choice depends entirely on whether the workload demands computation speed or energy efficiency.
