AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits the two processors by workload type. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G is positioned around its 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 4 nm process node, while the Intel Core 3 201E carries 4 cores and 8 threads on a 10 nm node. Based on the recorded measurements, the Intel part holds the advantage in single-thread and lightly threaded tasks. Its Cinebench R15 single-core score of 179, R20 single-core score of 747, and R23 single-core score of 1780 all point to a strong per-core performance profile. The PassMark single-thread score of 3482 reinforces that picture. For workloads that depend on one or two threads, such as legacy applications or certain productivity tools, the Intel Core 3 201E is the stronger candidate.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G, by contrast, wins in multi-threaded scenarios. The processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, giving it a 50% core count advantage over the Intel part. While the database does not list direct benchmark scores for the AMD chip, the architectural configuration combined with the Intel's measured multi-core results (Cinebench R23 multi-core: 12613, PassMark multi-thread: 14839) indicates that the AMD part should take the lead in parallel workloads like video rendering, compilation, or heavy multitasking. The Intel Core 3 201E also records a PassMark physics score of 1141 and a floating-point math score of 33260, which are moderate figures for its core count. The AMD chip's additional cores and threads would typically push it ahead in these areas, though the database does not provide direct confirmation of that margin.

For memory-intensive operations, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G uses dual-channel DDR5 with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel Core 3 201E supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The AMD part's higher peak bandwidth gives it an edge in tasks that stream large datasets, such as data compression or encryption. The Intel chip's PassMark data compression score of 164160 and data encryption score of 8931 are solid, but the AMD part's memory subsystem is designed to feed more cores simultaneously.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G is built on TSMC's 4 nm process and uses the Gorgon Point codename with a Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 3 201E uses Intel's 10 nm process with the Bartlett Lake codename and a Core 3 generation. The die sizes differ slightly: the AMD chip measures 195 mm², while the Intel chip measures 163 mm². Despite having fewer cores, the Intel die is smaller, which suggests a denser or simpler layout per core.

Cache structures diverge significantly. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has 1 MB of L2 per core, totaling 6 MB across all cores, plus 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 201E has 1.25 MB of L2 per core, totaling 5 MB across its 4 cores, plus a larger 12 MB shared L3 cache. The Intel part's bigger L3 pool helps with repeated data access across cores, while the AMD part's larger per-core L2 benefits single-core locality.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip is limited to DDR5 with dual-channel access and a peak bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a lower peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. ECC memory is supported by both. PCIe connectivity favors the Intel part: it offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes. For expansion cards, storage, or GPU connectivity, the Intel platform provides more modern and wider bandwidth.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core 3 201E uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD iGPU is generally associated with higher graphics throughput, but the database does not include specific graphics benchmark scores to confirm that. Both processors are locked (multiplier unlocked: false), so overclocking is not an option. The AMD chip uses socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses socket LGA 1700. The Intel part was released in January 2025 with a launch MSRP of $134; the AMD part's release date is March 2026 with no launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 201E has a full set of measured scores in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no individual benchmark entries. The comparison therefore relies on the Intel's recorded numbers and the architectural context of the AMD chip. The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12613 places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19056. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (avg score 19047, delta 0%), the Intel Core i5-12400F (avg score 19039, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core i5-1335U (avg score 18982, delta 0.4%), and the AMD EPYC 7773X (avg score 18979, delta 0.4%). These deltas are tiny, meaning the Intel Core 3 201E sits in a tightly clustered performance band around the 19000 average benchmark score mark.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, which is below the Intel part's 73rd percentile. That percentile difference suggests that, across the full benchmark suite, the Intel Core 3 201E outperforms the AMD chip in aggregate. The AMD part's additional cores (6 vs 4) and threads (12 vs 8) do not automatically translate into a higher overall score, likely because single-threaded performance and cache efficiency carry significant weight in many benchmarks.

Looking at the Intel part's individual PassMark scores: integer math at 43894, floating-point math at 33260, extended instructions at 11035, random string sorting at 17783, and prime number finding at 57. These figures indicate a balanced ALU and FPU design. The Cinebench scores (R15 multi: 1271, R15 single: 179, R20 multi: 5297, R20 single: 747, R23 multi: 12613, R23 single: 1780) show a multi-core to single-core ratio that scales reasonably with 4 cores and 8 threads. The AMD chip, with 6 cores and 12 threads, should post a higher multi-core ratio if its per-core performance is comparable, but the lack of direct measurements prevents a definitive numeric comparison.

The database records zero wins for either side in head-to-head benchmarks, as no paired tests are listed. The analysis thus rests on the Intel's measured scores and the AMD's unmeasured but architecturally superior core count and memory bandwidth. The Intel part's advantage in single-thread scores is explicit: its R23 single-core score of 1780 is the highest single-thread figure recorded for either chip, since the AMD chip has no listing. The AMD part's advantage in multi-thread potential is implicit from its 12 threads versus the Intel's 8, combined with a higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s vs 76.8 GB/s).
