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

The Verdict

The database records a clear split between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is the pick for desktop systems where multithreaded throughput and memory bandwidth matter, while the Intel Core 5 320 is the pick for mobile devices where low power draw and a compact footprint take priority.

The Intel Core 5 320 holds a significant advantage in the recorded benchmark percentile. It sits at the 72nd percentile versus the AMD part's 50th percentile. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 18023 places it in a league with the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (17994, 0.2% ahead) and Intel Core 5 120U (17898, 0.7% ahead). The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database, making direct numerical comparison impossible for that part.

The Intel part also has a recorded launch MSRP of $340, which can be stated once. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different foundries and use different process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core 5 320 uses a 3 nm process at Intel. AMD's codename is Gorgon Point, with a generation listed as Ryzen AI PRO 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). Intel's codename is Wildcat Lake, with a generation listed as Core 5 (Wildcat Lake).

Core counts match at 6 cores each, but thread counts differ sharply. The AMD part supports 12 threads, while the Intel part supports only 6 threads. That means the AMD chip has simultaneous multithreading, while the Intel chip does not.

Cache layouts are entirely different. The AMD part lists L1 as 80 KB per core, L2 as 1 MB per core, and L3 as 8 MB. The Intel part lists L1 as 192 KB total, L2 as 2.5 MB total, and L3 as 6 MB shared. The die size for AMD is 195 mm², while Intel's die size is not recorded.

Memory support diverges significantly. The AMD chip uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X but runs a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. AMD also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe lane counts differ. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon 840M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics (2 Xe).

Socket and market segment are the biggest physical differences. AMD uses AMD Socket AM5 and is listed as a Desktop part. Intel uses Intel BGA 1516 and is listed as a Mobile part. This makes the AMD chip a socketed, upgradeable desktop component, while the Intel chip is soldered for mobile systems.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 320 wins in every recorded benchmark category because it is the only part with recorded test results. Its benchmark suite covers Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, plus a range of PassMark tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has zero recorded benchmark entries, so no wins can be assigned to it from the database.

The Intel chip shows strong multicore results in Cinebench. Its R15 multicore score of 1054, R20 multicore score of 5462, and R23 multicore score of 6197 all reflect a 6-core, 6-thread part that scales well in rendering workloads. Its single-core scores of 276 in R15, 771 in R20, and 1926 in R23 indicate solid per-thread performance.

In PassMark tests, the Intel part delivers its best results in data compression (148779), integer math (32323), floating point math (42440), and random string sorting (18038). Its multithread score is 15450, and its single-thread score is 4045. Weaker areas include find prime numbers (110) and data encryption (10984).

The AMD part's advantage lies in its specifications rather than its recorded results. With 12 threads versus 6, dual-channel memory versus single-channel, and 89.6 GB/s versus 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth, the AMD chip should handle memory-bandwidth-sensitive workloads more effectively than the Intel part. Its higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 4.60 GHz also suggest a stronger per-clock ceiling. However, the database contains no benchmark numbers to confirm this.

FAQ

Q: Which processor has the higher boost clock?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE boosts to 4.80 GHz, while the Intel Core 5 320 boosts to 4.60 GHz.

Q: Does the Intel Core 5 320 support ECC memory?

A: No. The Intel part does not support ECC memory. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE does support ECC memory.

Q: Which chip has more memory bandwidth?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel Core 5 320 has 59.7 GB/s. AMD achieves this with a dual-channel memory bus, while Intel uses a single-channel bus.

Q: What is the Intel Core 5 320's recorded benchmark percentile?

A: The Intel Core 5 320 sits at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE sits at the 50th percentile, though it has no recorded benchmark scores.

Q: How many threads does each processor support?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE supports 12 threads from 6 cores. The Intel Core 5 320 supports 6 threads from 6 cores.

Q: Which processor uses a socketed desktop format?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE uses AMD Socket AM5 and is classified as a Desktop part. The Intel Core 5 320 uses Intel BGA 1516 and is classified as a Mobile part, meaning it is soldered rather than socketed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and the win counts are zero for both parts. Every recorded benchmark score belongs to the Intel Core 5 320.

For the Intel part, the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6197 represents its strongest rendering result. Its R23 single-core score of 1926 indicates that the gap between single-core and multicore performance is roughly a factor of 3.2. The R20 results show a similar pattern: 5462 multicore versus 771 single-core.

PassMark results for the Intel part show where it excels and where it struggles. Data compression at 148779 is by far its highest raw score. Floating point math at 42440 and integer math at 32323 show balanced arithmetic capability. The multithread score of 15450 is roughly 3.8 times the single-thread score of 4045, which is typical for a 6-core, 6-thread processor without SMT. The find prime numbers score of 110 is the weakest result, suggesting that integer-heavy prime searching is not a strength.

The AMD part has no benchmark data to compare. Its specifications suggest it should outperform the Intel chip in multithreaded workloads due to its 12 threads versus 6, but the database cannot confirm this with recorded scores. The AMD part's 4.80 GHz boost clock is 0.20 GHz higher than the Intel part's 4.60 GHz, which may give it a slight single-thread edge, but again, no measured data exists.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database provide some context for its performance. It scores 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 1600, 0.7% higher than the Intel Core 5 120U, and 0.7% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT. It trails the Intel Core i5-1334U by 0.7%. These deltas are all within one percentage point, meaning the Intel Core 5 320 performs in a tight band around these established mid-range processors.

The most consequential differences are the thread count, memory bus width, TDP, and socket format. The AMD part's 12 threads give it a 2x thread advantage over the Intel part's 6 threads. The AMD part's dual-channel memory bus delivers 50% more bandwidth than the Intel part's single-channel bus. The Intel part draws 15 W versus the AMD part's 35 W, making it better suited for fanless or low-power mobile designs. The AMD part's AM5 socket allows desktop upgrades, while the Intel BGA 1516 package is fixed to the motherboard.
