AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the Intel Core 7 251E represent two distinctly different approaches to modern processing, yet the recorded data in the database shows that only one of these processors has a complete benchmark profile. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, a mobile-oriented chip built on a 4 nm process, has a full suite of recorded test scores across Cinebench and Passmark workloads. The Intel Core 7 251E, a desktop chip built on a 10 nm process, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means all comparative analysis must rely on the AMD chip’s measured results and the specification differences between the two units.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results pairing the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 against the Intel Core 7 251E. The Intel Core 7 251E’s benchmark array is empty, and its average benchmark score is recorded as zero. As a result, there are no measured performance deltas, no win counts, and no rival comparison data for the Intel chip. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, by contrast, has fifteen recorded benchmark scores that establish its performance profile.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and a single-core score of 1818. In Cinebench R15, the same chip records 1712 for multi-core and 271 for single-core. The Passmark suite shows a multi-thread score of 19927, a single-thread score of 3875, and an integer math score of 63475. Floating point math reaches 42621, extended instructions hit 17003, and data compression scores 237484. Data encryption records 11814, random string sorting scores 25435, and find prime numbers records 62. Physics testing yields 1089.

Without any recorded scores for the Intel Core 7 251E, the head-to-head comparison cannot produce a single measured win for either processor. The AMD chip’s average benchmark score is 29461, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel chip sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero, a figure that reflects the absence of data rather than a true performance measurement. Benchmark results indicate that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 has a complete, verifiable performance record, while the Intel Core 7 251E currently has no measurable output in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins in every category where measured data exists, simply because the Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded benchmarks. In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD chip records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1712. Its Passmark multi-thread score is 19927, and its integer math score is 63475. For single-threaded tasks, the AMD chip records a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1818, a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 271, and a Passmark single-thread score of 3875.

The AMD processor also wins in specialized workloads. Data compression scores 237484, data encryption scores 11814, and extended instructions score 17003. Floating point math reaches 42621, random string sorting reaches 25435, and physics testing reaches 1089. The find prime numbers test records 62. These figures give the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 a measurable advantage in every workload category present in the database.

The Intel Core 7 251E cannot claim a win in any recorded benchmark because no scores exist for it. Its average benchmark score of zero and 50th percentile ranking reflect missing data, not competitive performance. The recorded data shows that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the only processor in this pairing with a verified performance record.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the only processor in this pairing with any recorded performance data. Its average benchmark score of 29461 places it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X at 29447, the AMD EPYC 9654 at 29409, the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29270, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 29656. These deltas are small, ranging from 0.2 percent ahead to 0.7 percent behind, indicating that the AMD chip performs in line with established desktop processors from previous generations.

The Intel Core 7 251E has an average benchmark score of zero and no nearest rivals, which means the database cannot confirm any performance level for it. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder value, not a measured result. The specification sheet shows a 24-core, 32-thread desktop processor with a 5.60 GHz boost clock, 36 MB of shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and ECC memory, but none of these features translate into recorded benchmark output.

For buyers who rely on measured performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the only choice with verified scores. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461, a single-core score of 1818, and a Passmark multi-thread score of 19927. Its 28-watt TDP and mobile socket position it for low-power systems, while the Intel chip’s 65-watt TDP and desktop socket target stationary builds. The Intel chip offers more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, and more L3 cache on paper, but the database contains no evidence that these specifications produce competitive results. The recorded data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the processor with the complete performance profile, while the Intel Core 7 251E remains unverified.
