AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE carries 6 cores and 12 threads, which gives it a clear advantage in heavily parallel tasks. The Intel Core 7 360 also has 6 cores but only 6 threads, so it cannot split work as finely across simultaneous operations. Any benchmark that scales with thread count will favor the AMD part.

The Intel Core 7 360, by contrast, wins in single-threaded and lightly threaded workloads. Its boost clock matches the AMD part at 4.80 GHz, but its per-core cache structure is larger. The Intel part shows 192 KB of L1 per core and 2.5 MB of L2 per core, versus 80 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core on the AMD side. That additional per-core cache helps latency-sensitive tasks. The Intel part also wins on power efficiency targets, with a 15 W TDP versus 35 W on the AMD part, which suggests it is designed for sustained light-load operation.

The AMD part uses a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part uses single-channel memory with 59.7 GB/s. This gives AMD a structural edge in memory-bandwidth-bound work such as data compression or large dataset shuffling. The Intel part counters with support for both DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, which offers platform flexibility.

The database shows the Intel part sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile. That overall ranking reflects the Intel part's stronger average benchmark score of 18,374 versus no recorded average score for the AMD part. The Intel part also has a launch MSRP of $426, which is stated once here for reference.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE 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 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. It is manufactured on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The AMD part has an active production status with a release date in March 2026, while the Intel part also has active production status with a release date in April 2026.

The cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part allocates 192 KB of L1 per core and 2.5 MB of L2 per core, with 6 MB of shared L3 cache. While the AMD part has more total L3, the Intel part has more private cache per core for the L1 and L2 levels. This explains why the Intel part performs better in single-threaded tests that repeatedly access a working set small enough to fit in private cache.

The AMD part supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. The AMD part uses an AMD Socket AM5 and supports PCIe Gen 4 with 12 CPU-only lanes. The Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516 and supports PCIe Gen 4 with only 6 CPU-only lanes. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier set to false, as does the Intel part. Neither processor allows user overclocking through multiplier adjustment.

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD part uses Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The AMD part is listed as a desktop market segment part, while the Intel part is listed as mobile. This aligns with the Intel part's lower TDP of 15 W versus the AMD part's 35 W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full set of benchmark scores for the Intel Core 7 360, but no equivalent scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE. The head-to-head comparison therefore relies on the Intel part's recorded scores against the AMD part's architectural specifications. The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multicore score is 13,634, and its single-core score is 1,924. The Cinebench R20 results show 5,726 multicore and 808 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 1,374 multicore and 193 single-core.

In PassMark tests, the Intel part scores 142,877 in data compression, 11,164 in data encryption, 12,390 in extended instructions, 120 in find prime numbers, 44,963 in floating point math, 34,238 in integer math, 15,544 in multithread, 1,213 in physics, 17,636 in random string sorting, and 4,274 in single-thread tests.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database are all Intel parts. The Intel Core i3-13100 has an average score of 18,380 with a 0% delta. The Intel Core 5 330 has an average score of 18,345 with a 0.2% delta. The Intel Core i3-14100 has an average score of 18,318 with a 0.3% delta. The Intel Core 3 305 has an average score of 18,302 with a 0.4% delta. The Intel Core 7 360's average score of 18,374 places it effectively even with the Core i3-13100, just 0.2% ahead of the Core 5 330, 0.3% ahead of the Core i3-14100, and 0.4% ahead of the Core 3 305.

Because the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores, the database cannot directly quantify its wins. The qualitative picture from the specifications is that the AMD part wins in multi-threaded throughput due to simultaneous multithreading, and the Intel part wins in single-threaded responsiveness due to larger per-core caches. The Intel part's single-core Cinebench R23 score of 1,924 and PassMark single-thread score of 4,274 represent its strengths. The AMD part's 12 threads versus 6 threads gives it a structural advantage in any workload that can use more than 6 concurrent threads.

The Intel part supports a single-channel memory bus, which limits its memory bandwidth to 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part's dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s is 50% higher in theoretical bandwidth. This difference would most likely show in memory-intensive tests like data compression or random string sorting, though the Intel part's recorded scores in those tests are already strong.

The Verdict

The database shows two processors with opposite strengths. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE delivers 12 threads, dual-channel memory at 89.6 GB/s, ECC support, and a desktop socket with 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. This makes it the better choice for multi-threaded desktop workloads, memory-bandwidth-heavy tasks, and systems requiring error-correcting memory. Its 35 W TDP and AM5 socket indicate a desktop-oriented design.

The Intel Core 7 360 delivers 6 threads, a 15 W TDP, larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, and a 3 nm process node. Its recorded benchmark scores place it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs. The single-thread performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,924 and a PassMark single-thread score of 4,274, makes it strong for lightly threaded applications. Its mobile BGA socket and lower TDP suit portable or low-power systems.

The choice depends on workload shape. For parallel rendering, compilation, or any task that can use more than 6 threads, the AMD part's 12 threads provide the structural advantage. For single-threaded responsiveness, lower power draw, and compact mobile integration, the Intel part has the recorded scores to back its position. The AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its performance claims rest on specifications rather than measurements. The Intel part has a full set of measured results, which gives it a more complete performance profile in the database.
