AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Core 3 304 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database currently contains only recorded measurements for the Intel Core 3 304. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no benchmark scores logged in our system, which means the head-to-head comparison is necessarily one-sided. The Intel part, a mobile processor with 5 cores and 5 threads, delivers the only measurable results we can analyze.

Looking at the Intel Core 3 304's Cinebench results, the multicore scores are substantial for a chip with only 5 threads. In Cinebench R15, the processor scores 849 points in the multicore test and 264 points in the single-core test. The R20 iteration shows 4160 points multicore and 587 points single-core, while the R23 run records 5263 points multicore and 1765 points single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that scales well with its limited thread count, and the single-core performance shows particular strength relative to its modest 4.30 GHz boost clock.

The PassMark suite provides additional detail on the Intel Core 3 304's capabilities. The multithread score sits at 11625, while the single-thread score is 3614. Data compression reaches 114775, data encryption hits 8501, and extended instructions score 9686. Floating point math produces 29722, integer math records 24640, and physics simulation scores 868. The processor finds prime numbers with a score of 68 and handles random string sorting at 13659.

Since the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no entries in the benchmark database, we cannot calculate which processor wins specific tests. The recorded data shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in our head-to-head table, reflecting the absence of comparative measurements. What we can say is that the Intel Core 3 304's scores place it at the 68th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 13745.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 3 304 provide context. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX averages 13786, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i7-8750H averages 13868, 0.9% higher. The Intel Core 5 120UL averages 13594, which is 1.1% lower. The AMD EPYC 7443 averages 13936, 1.4% higher. These deltas are all within a tight band, meaning the Intel Core 3 304 sits in a competitive cluster where small score differences separate the processors.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G, by contrast, has a percentile ranking of 50 in the database with an average benchmark score of zero, since no tests have been recorded. This is a data gap, not a performance judgment. Until benchmark runs are logged for the AMD part, the database can only reflect the Intel processor's measured outputs.

The Verdict

From the recorded data alone, the Intel Core 3 304 is the only processor with verifiable benchmark performance. Its average score of 13745 places it at the 68th percentile, which means it outperforms roughly two-thirds of all CPUs in the database. The nearest rival comparisons show it trading blows with high-end desktop and workstation parts: it trails the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX by just 0.3% and the AMD EPYC 7443 by 1.4%, while leading the Intel Core 5 120UL by 1.1%.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G cannot be assessed through benchmark scores because none exist in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 is a placeholder based on an empty score profile, not a measured outcome. Therefore, the data supports selecting the Intel Core 3 304 if benchmark-verified performance is the criterion.

However, the specification sheet for the AMD part suggests capabilities that the benchmark data does not yet capture. The AMD processor uses 6 cores and 12 threads, doubling the thread count of the Intel part. Its boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz compared to 4.30 GHz on the Intel. These are architectural advantages that could translate into different performance characteristics, but the database has no measurements to confirm or deny that possibility. The verdict from the data is clear: the Intel Core 3 304 has proven performance, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G remains an unverified entry.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c hybrid architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 3 304 uses the Wildcat Lake codename within the Core 3 generation and is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The Intel die size is not recorded in the database.

The core configurations diverge significantly. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, enabling simultaneous multithreading. Intel provides 5 cores and 5 threads, with no hyperthreading support indicated. The cache hierarchies also differ. AMD allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. Intel specifies 192 KB of L1 total, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD design spreads cache across cores, while the Intel design pools the L3.

Memory support shows a clear split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC memory capability. The Intel processor supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X but on a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth and no ECC support. This gives the AMD part a memory bandwidth advantage of nearly 30 GB/s on paper.

Platform integration differs as well. AMD uses the AMD Socket AM5 and targets the desktop market segment, while Intel uses Intel BGA 1516 and targets mobile. The PCIe configurations reflect this: AMD offers Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, Intel offers Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with AMD featuring the Radeon 840M and Intel featuring Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core.

Power specifications are recorded differently. The AMD part has a TDP of 65, while the Intel part has a TDP of 15. The AMD processor is not multiplier unlocked, nor is the Intel processor. The AMD release date is recorded as March 2026, and the Intel release date is April 2026. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $309, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 304 wins in the benchmark arena because it has recorded scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and the PassMark suite. Its single-core performance, with a Cinebench R23 score of 1765 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3614, demonstrates strong per-thread efficiency. The multithread score of 11625 in PassMark and 5263 in Cinebench R23 indicate solid throughput for a 5-thread processor. Its 68th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that it performs better than the majority of processors in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G wins on paper in several architectural categories. It offers 12 threads versus 5, which suggests better multitasking capacity if the benchmarks existed to confirm it. The dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the Intel part's single-channel 59.7 GB/s, which could benefit memory-intensive workloads. The 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes double the Intel part's 6 lanes, providing more expansion capability. The L3 cache of 8 MB exceeds the Intel part's 6 MB, and the per-core L2 allocation of 1 MB versus 2.5 MB total favors the AMD design for per-core working sets.

The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not, making it more suitable for error-sensitive computations. The desktop socket AM5 platform contrasts with the mobile BGA 1516, which affects the target system type. The AMD boost clock of 4.80 GHz is higher than the Intel boost clock of 4.30 GHz, and the base clock of 2.00 GHz exceeds the Intel base of 1.50 GHz. These clock advantages could translate to faster execution, but the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm this.
