AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Core 7 160UL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 160UL is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning all performance comparisons must be drawn from the Intel part's results against its nearest rivals rather than a direct score-for-score matchup.

The Intel Core 7 160UL delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 9386 and a single-core score of 1325. Its Cinebench R20 results show 3942 in multi-core and 556 in single-core, while Cinebench R15 produces 946 multi-core and 133 single-core. These numbers establish a clear performance profile: the processor scales well with thread count, but its single-thread scores are modest relative to its multi-thread output.

In PassMark testing, the Intel part records a multithread score of 11043 and a single-thread score of 3391. The floating point math test yields 25670, integer math reaches 47515, and extended instructions score 5832. Data compression hits 108953, while data encryption reaches 7146. The find prime numbers test returns 50, physics scores 819, and random string sorting records 11843.

The average benchmark score for the Intel Core 7 160UL is 14232, placing it at the 69th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C, scores 14277 on average, a delta of -0.3 percent. The Intel Core i5-10400F scores 14185, putting it 0.3 percent behind the Core 7 160UL. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, a 0.5 percent gap. The AMD Ryzen 5 3501U scores 14320, which is 0.6 percent ahead.

These narrow deltas indicate the Core 7 160UL sits in a tightly contested performance band. It is essentially equivalent to the Ryzen 3 7320C and Core i5-10400F, marginally behind the Ryzen 5 3501U, and slightly ahead of the Xeon 6756E. The percentile ranking of 69 confirms that this processor outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database, but it does not reach the upper echelon.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G lacks benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in direct head-to-head tests, simply because no such tests exist. The Intel processor's recorded data stands as the only quantitative evidence for performance analysis.

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 / Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 7 160UL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, part of the Core 7 generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded in the database.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 12 threads. Both support 12 threads, but the Intel part achieves this with 4 additional physical cores. This suggests the Intel processor relies on a hybrid core arrangement typical of Raptor Lake designs, though the database does not specify performance versus efficiency core counts.

Clock speeds favor the Intel part in boost frequency. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part boosts 0.40 GHz higher but idles 0.20 GHz lower.

Cache layouts diverge substantially. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core but provides 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part offers 4 MB more L3 cache and 0.25 MB more L2 per core.

Power consumption differs dramatically. The AMD processor has a TDP of 65 watts, while the Intel processor has a TDP of 15 watts. This makes the Intel part a 50 watt lower power design, a substantial difference for thermal management and system power budgets.

Memory support shows the Intel part with broader compatibility. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD processor records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor has no bandwidth figure in the database.

ECC memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports ECC memory, while the Intel processor does not. PCIe lane counts favor the AMD part with Gen 4 and 12 CPU lanes, while the Intel part offers Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel processor uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows the Intel Core 7 160UL as the only processor with benchmark results. Its average score of 14232 and 69th percentile ranking place it in the upper-middle range of all CPUs. The narrow deltas against its nearest rivals, all within 0.6 percent, indicate a processor that performs consistently with established mid-range parts.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no benchmark data, so the database cannot confirm its performance level. Its specifications suggest a different design philosophy: higher base clock, lower boost clock, fewer cores, larger process node advantage at 4 nm, and higher TDP at 65 watts. The AMD part also offers ECC support and more PCIe lanes.

For users who prioritize lower power consumption, the Intel Core 7 160UL at 15 watts TDP is the clear choice from the data. For users who need ECC memory support or more PCIe lanes, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has the specification advantage. The Intel part's higher boost clock and larger L3 cache are notable, while the AMD part's smaller process node and higher base clock are also significant.

The benchmark evidence supports the Intel processor as the verified performer. The AMD processor remains an unverified entry in the database, with its specification sheet providing the only basis for assessment.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 160UL wins in every recorded benchmark category because it is the only processor with benchmark scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 9386 and PassMark multithread score of 11043 confirm strong parallel processing capability. The single-core scores of 1325 in Cinebench R23 and 3391 in PassMark indicate adequate single-thread performance. The 69th percentile ranking places it above most CPUs in the database.

The Intel part also wins on power efficiency, with a 15 watt TDP compared to the AMD part's 65 watts. This makes it suitable for systems where thermal output and energy consumption are primary constraints. Its 10 cores provide a physical core advantage over the AMD part's 6 cores, even though both support 12 threads. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz and the larger 12 MB L3 cache further support the Intel part's performance credentials.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G wins on process technology, using a 4 nm node at TSMC compared to the Intel part's 10 nm node. This gives the AMD part a manufacturing advantage that could translate to better transistor density and efficiency, though no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD part also wins on memory bandwidth with 89.6 GB/s, ECC support, PCIe lane count with 12 lanes versus 8, and a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.80 GHz.

The AMD part's socket compatibility with AM5 and its newer release date of 2026-03-01, compared to the Intel part's 2024-04-07, suggest a more recent platform entry. The larger die size of 195 mm² for the AMD part reflects the more complex process node, while the Intel part's die size is unrecorded.

For workloads that depend on verified performance, the Intel Core 7 160UL is the only option with data. For workloads that require ECC memory or maximum PCIe expansion, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G offers specifications that the Intel part cannot match. The database records no benchmark wins for either processor in direct head-to-head testing, leaving the Intel part's measured results as the sole quantitative reference point.
