Analysis: AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G vs Intel Processor 300
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G versus the Intel Processor 300. Both processors hold a 50th percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, with average benchmark scores of zero across the measured suite. This means the current dataset does not provide a computed performance delta between the two parts.
What the data does show is the structural gap between them. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G fields 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Processor 300 operates with 2 cores and 4 threads. That is a 3x difference in core count and a 3x difference in thread count. In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD part holds a theoretical advantage that the benchmark data would likely confirm, though the database has not yet recorded such measurements.
The Intel Processor 300 counters with a base clock of 3.90 GHz, which is nearly double the AMD part's 2.00 GHz base clock. However, the AMD processor boosts to 4.80 GHz, exceeding the Intel part's fixed operating frequency. The Intel Processor 300 has no boost clock listed in the database, so its 3.90 GHz appears to be its ceiling. The AMD part therefore offers a higher peak frequency when under load.
The database records zero wins for either processor in head-to-head comparisons. This is not a statement of parity; it is a reflection of missing benchmark entries. The percentile ranking of 50 for both CPUs indicates they sit at the median of the database's CPU distribution, but that percentile is computed from the same incomplete measurement set.
Where Each One Wins
The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G wins on core and thread resources. Six cores and twelve threads give it a clear edge in heavily parallel workloads such as rendering, compilation, and multi-tasking. Its 8 MB of L3 cache, while shared across fewer cores than typical desktop parts, still exceeds the Intel Processor 300's 6 MB shared L3. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, a feature the Intel Processor 300 lacks, which matters for error-sensitive compute tasks.
The AMD processor also wins on memory bandwidth. The database lists 89.6 GB/s for the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G, while the Intel Processor 300 has no memory bandwidth figure recorded. The AMD part uses DDR5 memory exclusively, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The dual-channel memory bus is common to both, but the AMD part's higher listed bandwidth suggests a faster memory subsystem.
The Intel Processor 300 wins on power draw. Its 46 W TDP is lower than the AMD part's 65 W TDP. For systems where thermal output and cooling requirements are constrained, the Intel chip demands less from the platform. The Intel part also wins on base clock frequency, with 3.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, which can benefit lightly threaded workloads that do not scale with core count and prefer a high constant clock.
The Intel Processor 300 offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes. For storage and expansion cards that use the newer PCIe standard, the Intel platform has the edge in raw interface speed and lane count.
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 fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 195 mm². The Intel Processor 300 uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-S, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. Its die size is 163 mm².
The process node difference is substantial. The AMD part's 4 nm process is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node, which allows for denser transistor packing and potentially better power efficiency per unit of work. The AMD die is larger at 195 mm² versus 163 mm², which is notable given that the AMD part packs three times the core count into only 32 mm² more silicon.
Cache layouts differ significantly. Both parts use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel part uses 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The Intel part therefore has a larger L2 allocation per core, which can help with per-thread working sets. The AMD part's L3 is 8 MB, while the Intel part's L3 is 6 MB shared. The AMD part does not list a total L3 figure, but the 8 MB entry appears to be the full L3 pool. The Intel part's 6 MB is explicitly labeled as shared.
The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel Processor 300 uses UHD Graphics 710. The database does not include performance numbers for either iGPU, so the comparison is limited to naming and presence.
The AMD part supports ECC memory; the Intel part does not. The AMD part is listed with a release date of March 2026, while the Intel part released in January 2024. The AMD part's part number is 100-000001915, and the Intel part's is SRN3J.

The socket difference is a major platform divider. The AMD part uses Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Socket 1700. These platforms are not interchangeable, so the choice of CPU dictates the motherboard. The AMD part's AM5 platform is newer, while Intel's Socket 1700 has been in the market since the release of the Intel Processor 300 in January 2024.
The TDP difference of 19 W (65 W versus 46 W) affects cooling and power delivery requirements. The Intel part's lower TDP makes it easier to cool in compact systems. The AMD part's higher TDP reflects its larger core count and higher boost clock.
The memory controller differences are notable. The AMD part supports only DDR5, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. This gives the Intel platform more flexibility for builders who want to reuse older DDR4 memory. However, the AMD part lists a specific memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure recorded.
PCIe support differs by one generation and four lanes. The Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes. The Intel part's Gen 5 interface doubles the per-lane bandwidth of Gen 4, so its 16 Gen 5 lanes represent a substantially wider and faster connection for discrete GPUs and NVMe storage.
The market segment for both is Desktop, and both are listed as Active in production status. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported on either part.
