AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Core 5 320 Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G and Intel Core 5 320 are both active 6-core processors, yet they occupy different market positions. The AMD part is a desktop chip on Socket AM5 with 12 threads, while the Intel part is a mobile chip on BGA 1516 with 6 threads. The database contains benchmark results only for the Intel Core 5 320, with no recorded scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G. This creates an asymmetric comparison: one processor has a full set of 17 benchmark measurements, and the other has none. The analysis below relies strictly on the recorded data, the Intel part's rivalry landscape, and the specification fields that differ between the two.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array in the database is empty, and the wins counters show 0 for both processors. This means no direct comparative test results exist for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G versus the Intel Core 5 320. The only benchmark data available belongs to the Intel Core 5 320, which has an average benchmark score of 18023 and a percentile rank of 72 across all CPUs in the database.

For the Intel Core 5 320, the recorded Cinebench results show a clear multi-core versus single-core profile. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score is 6197 and the singlecore score is 1926. The R20 run shows 5462 multicore and 771 singlecore, while the R15 run shows 1054 multicore and 276 singlecore. These scores indicate a processor that scales well with threaded workloads, but the delta between multi-core and single-core results is consistent across versions.

Passmark data for the Intel Core 5 320 reveals specialized strengths. The data compression score is 148779, which is the highest single result in its benchmark suite. Data encryption scores 10984, extended instructions score 13262, and floating point math scores 42440. Integer math scores 32323, and find prime numbers scores 110. The multithread score is 15450, physics scores 1221, and random string sorting scores 18038. The single thread score is 4045, which appears twice in the dataset under slightly different test names but with identical values.

Since the AMD processor has no benchmarks in the database, no exact numerical comparisons can be made between the two chips. The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 5 320 provide context for its standing. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has an average score of 17994, which is 0.2 percent lower than the Intel Core 5 320. The Intel Core 5 120U scores 17898, 0.7 percent lower. The Intel Core i5-1334U scores 18154, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17891, 0.7 percent lower. These deltas are all within one percentage point, suggesting the Intel Core 5 320 sits in a tightly contested performance band among its recorded competitors.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward selection for the Intel Core 5 320: it has a complete benchmark profile, a 72nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, and an average score of 18023. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no recorded benchmarks, so its performance cannot be quantified from the database. For users who require measured performance data, the Intel part is the only option with evidence.

The Intel Core 5 320 also holds a significant thread-count disadvantage relative to the AMD part, despite having more cores in its nearest rival comparisons. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G offers 12 threads versus 6 threads, which typically favors multi-threaded workloads. However, without benchmark numbers for the AMD chip, the practical advantage cannot be confirmed. The Intel part's 6 threads still deliver respectable multi-core scores in Cinebench R23, reaching 6197.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G targets the desktop segment with a 65 watt TDP and DDR5 memory support. The Intel Core 5 320 targets mobile with a 15 watt TDP and supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The mobile positioning of the Intel part aligns with its lower power envelope, while the desktop positioning of the AMD part suggests a different use case. The database does not provide enough information to declare a winner in overall performance, but it does indicate that the Intel part has a measurable baseline and the AMD part does not.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several core specification fields. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 320 has 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD base clock is 2.00 GHz and boost clock is 4.80 GHz. The Intel base clock is 1.50 GHz and boost clock is 4.60 GHz. The AMD TDP is 65 watts, and the Intel TDP is 15 watts.

The socket types differ completely. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, and the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516. The memory support also diverges: the AMD part supports DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel bus and 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part.

PCIe lane counts differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only), and the Intel Core 5 320 has Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 840M, and the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics (2 Xe). The market segments are Desktop for AMD and Mobile for Intel. The release dates are March 1, 2026 for the AMD part and April 15, 2026 for the Intel part. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $340, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. Both have locked multipliers.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache.

The Intel Core 5 320 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. It is manufactured on a 3 nm process by Intel, with no recorded die size. The cache layout includes 192 KB of L1, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The process node difference is notable: 4 nm for AMD and 3 nm for Intel, though the foundries differ (TSMC versus Intel).

The thread architecture differs significantly. The AMD part uses simultaneous multithreading to achieve 12 threads from 6 cores, while the Intel part runs 6 threads from 6 cores without hyper-threading. This is a fundamental architectural difference that affects multi-threaded performance potential. The memory architecture also differs: the AMD part uses dual-channel memory, and the Intel part uses single-channel memory, which impacts memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 59.7 GB/s).

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 320 wins in the only category where data exists: measured benchmark performance. Its average score of 18023 places it in the 72nd percentile, and its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6197 demonstrates solid threaded capability. The Passmark data compression score of 148779 is particularly strong, suggesting efficient handling of compression workloads. The Intel part also wins on power efficiency, with a 15 watt TDP compared to the AMD part's 65 watts, which suits mobile deployments.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G wins on paper specifications where it has clear advantages. It offers 12 threads versus 6 threads, which is a 2x thread count advantage. Its dual-channel memory bus provides 89.6 GB/s bandwidth versus 59.7 GB/s, a substantial margin. The AMD part supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. The AMD boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, and its base clock is 2.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz. These specifications favor the AMD part for memory-intensive and multi-threaded desktop workloads.

The socket difference dictates the platform direction. The AMD Socket AM5 is a desktop socket, and the Intel BGA 1516 is a soldered mobile package. Users building desktop systems would naturally select the AMD part, while those seeking a mobile processor would choose the Intel part. The Intel part's launch MSRP of $340 provides a reference point, though no pricing data exists for the AMD part. The database lacks benchmark results for the AMD chip, so its actual performance wins cannot be quantified. The recorded data shows the Intel part has a verified performance baseline, and the AMD part has a specification advantage that remains unmeasured.
