AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Core 5 211E Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G and Intel Core 5 211E are both active desktop processors aimed at professional workloads, but the recorded data shows them approaching performance from different angles. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G relies on a 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 4.80 GHz boost, while the Core 5 211E fields a larger 10-core, 16-thread design with a slightly higher 4.90 GHz boost. With no direct head-to-head benchmark entries in the database, the analysis relies on the Intel part's extensive benchmark history and the architectural specifications to determine where each processor fits.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct comparison runs between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G and the Intel Core 5 211E. For the Intel Core 5 211E, the recorded data includes a full benchmark suite, but the AMD processor has no recorded scores in the database. This means the only quantitative performance evaluation must come from the Intel processor's results and its position among near rivals.

The Intel Core 5 211E posts an average benchmark score of 37,829, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals show a remarkably tight cluster. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37,804, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 37,762, 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37,904, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i9-14901E scores 37,911, also 0.2% higher. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Core 5 211E performs nearly identically to a broad set of mid-range and high-end processors in aggregate workloads.

Looking at specific Intel Core 5 211E benchmark results, the multi-core scores are substantial. In Cinebench R23, the processor achieves a multi-core score of 20,389 and a single-core score of 2,878. In Cinebench R20, the results are 8,563 multi-core and 1,208 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 2,055 multi-core and 289 single-core. These figures confirm strong scaling across the 10 cores and 16 threads.

The PassMark suite adds more texture. The Core 5 211E scores 34,6757 in data compression, 17,938 in data encryption, and 21,592 in extended instructions. Integer math reaches 88,117, floating point math reaches 66,402, and find prime numbers scores 43. Single-thread performance is recorded at 4,006, while multi-thread performance is 23,833. Random string sorting completes at 34,308, and physics processing scores 702.

Since the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no benchmark entries, a direct numerical comparison cannot be made. The analysis must instead project outcomes from the architectural data, which shows the Intel part with more cores, a higher base clock, and a larger shared L3 cache, all factors that typically favor multi-threaded workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G is built on a 4 nm TSMC process, measuring 195 mm², while the Intel Core 5 211E uses a 10 nm Intel process with a larger die size of 257 mm². The AMD part belongs to the Gorgon Point codename and the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, incorporating Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part is from the Bartlett Lake codename and the Core 5 generation.

Core and thread counts differ. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks also differ: the AMD part runs at 2.00 GHz, and the Intel part runs at 2.70 GHz. Boost clocks are close, with the AMD part reaching 4.80 GHz and the Intel part reaching 4.90 GHz. Both are locked processors with no unlocked multiplier.

Cache hierarchies show distinct approaches. Both allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part provides 1 MB of L2 cache per core and a total of 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part doubles the L2 allocation to 2 MB per core and provides a much larger shared L3 cache of 20 MB. The larger shared cache on the Intel part can reduce memory latency for frequently accessed data across all cores.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a peak bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a lower peak bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory, a relevant feature for professional and reliability-focused builds.

PCI Express connectivity also differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part offers newer generation and more lanes, which can influence expansion options for storage and accelerators.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not include graphics scores, so no performance comparison is possible, but the architectural presence is recorded.

Sockets are incompatible. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. This dictates platform choice and upgrade paths.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211E has clear advantages in raw thread count. With 10 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads, the Intel part can process more parallel tasks simultaneously. Its higher base clock of 2.70 GHz versus 2.00 GHz also suggests stronger sustained performance in lightly threaded workloads. The larger 20 MB shared L3 cache versus 8 MB provides more room for data reuse across cores. The Gen 5 PCIe interface with 16 lanes gives it an edge in high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G counters with a smaller, more power-efficient process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm. Its boost clock of 4.80 GHz is close to the Intel part's 4.90 GHz, so single-thread peak performance should be similar. The AMD part also has higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, which can benefit memory-intensive tasks. Its Radeon 840M integrated graphics may offer a different feature set than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, though the database records no benchmarks for either.

In the recorded database, the Intel Core 5 211E shows a 50-point spread against its nearest rivals, with scores ranging from 37,762 to 37,911. This places it firmly in a competitive band where architectural differences translate to less than 1% aggregate performance variation. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G, without recorded scores, cannot be positioned in that band, but its lower core count suggests it would trail in heavily parallel workloads.

For applications that scale with cores, such as video rendering or simulation, the Intel part is the stronger choice based on its 10-core design and recorded multi-core scores. For workloads that depend on memory bandwidth, the AMD part's 89.6 GB/s may provide an advantage, though no direct measurement confirms this.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports different selections depending on the workload profile. The Intel Core 5 211E has a complete benchmark record showing strong multi-core performance, a high 86th percentile ranking, and an average score of 37,829. Its 10 cores, 16 threads, and 20 MB shared L3 cache make it suitable for parallel processing tasks. Its launch MSRP is $221, a detail recorded in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G lacks any benchmark scores in the database. This absence means the analysis cannot confirm its performance level. Its specifications suggest a capable processor for less demanding workloads, but the lack of recorded data prevents a definitive comparison. The AMD part uses a more advanced 4 nm process, supports only DDR5 memory, and offers higher peak memory bandwidth.

For users prioritizing proven multi-threaded performance and a larger cache, the Intel Core 5 211E is the only part with direct evidence in the database. For users who value a smaller die, a newer process node, and higher memory bandwidth, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G offers those attributes, but without benchmark verification, its real-world standing remains unquantified.
