Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins in the majority of measured workloads, particularly those involving data processing and math operations. Data compression, data encryption, and extended instructions show large AMD advantages, indicating strong performance for tasks that involve cryptography, compression algorithms, and SIMD-style workloads. The 175.2% single-thread lead indicates a substantial advantage for lightly threaded applications and responsive single-core performance.

The AMD processor also leads in integer math (86.7%) and floating point math (63%), covering general computation and scientific workloads. The 70.5% multithread advantage in PassMark suggests that the AMD part handles parallel workloads effectively despite having fewer cores, likely due to its architecture and clock behavior.

The Intel Core 5 211TE wins in three specific areas. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows a 6.1% Intel advantage, indicating that this particular rendering workload favors the Intel configuration. PassMark physics shows a 14.8% Intel lead, and find prime numbers shows a 13.9% Intel lead. These results suggest the Intel processor has an edge in certain integer serial loops and physics simulations.

The Intel part also offers ECC memory support, which is not available on the AMD part. This is a functional difference that matters for systems requiring error-correcting memory. The Intel processor uses a desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) and has a higher TDP of 45 W, while the AMD processor is a mobile part with a 28 W TDP.

The Verdict

The data indicates two processors with different design targets. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 delivers superior performance in the majority of recorded benchmarks, with an average score of 29461 versus 15370 for the Intel Core 5 211TE. The AMD part wins 12 of 15 head-to-head tests, with especially large margins in single-thread performance (175.2%), extended instructions (97.4%), and integer math (86.7%).

The Intel Core 5 211TE wins 3 of 15 tests, specifically Cinebench R23 multi-core (6.1% ahead), PassMark physics (14.8% ahead), and PassMark find prime numbers (13.9% ahead). The Intel part also brings ECC memory support and a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz, along with a larger L3 cache of 20 MB.

For workloads that match the AMD processor's strengths, such as compression, encryption, and general math operations, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the stronger choice based on recorded data. Its 28 W TDP and mobile socket also position it for power-sensitive systems. The Intel Core 5 211TE, with its 45 W TDP and desktop socket, suits scenarios where ECC memory is required and where the specific Cinebench R23 multi-core, physics, or prime number workloads are the primary use cases. The data shows the AMD processor as the overall higher performer, while the Intel processor holds specific niche advantages.
