Analysis: AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Processor N250
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the Intel Processor N250. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and each processor has no recorded wins in direct competition. What the database does provide is a full benchmark profile for the AMD side and an empty benchmark array for the Intel side, meaning the Intel Processor N250 has no measured scores in Cinebench R15, Cinebench R23, or any PassMark workload.
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and a single-core score of 1818. In Cinebench R15, it records 1712 multi-core and 271 single-core. PassMark results include 19927 for multi-thread, 3875 for single-thread, 63475 for integer math, 42621 for floating point math, 237484 for data compression, and 11814 for data encryption. The Intel Processor N250 has zero recorded scores across all of these tests, so no numeric delta can be calculated from direct comparison.
Because the Intel side lacks any benchmark data, the only quantitative comparison available is through the AMD chip's position in the broader database. The Ryzen AI 7 345 sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29461. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X at 29447 (0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9654 at 29409 (0.2% ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 345), the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29270 (0.7% behind the Ryzen AI 7 345), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 29656 (0.7% ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 345). These deltas are all within roughly one percent, indicating that the Ryzen AI 7 345 performs in a tightly packed band around these desktop and mobile parts.
The Intel Processor N250, by contrast, holds the 50th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of any recorded measurements rather than a literal score of zero. The database therefore cannot produce a direct win/loss tally; the winsA and winsB fields are both zero.

Q: Do the two processors use the same memory type?
A: No. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel memory bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Processor N250 supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 with a single-channel memory bus and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth.
Where Each One Wins
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins in every measurable workload category simply because it has recorded scores and the Intel Processor N250 does not. In multi-threaded productivity, the Ryzen AI 7 345's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and PassMark multi-thread score of 19927 indicate strong parallel capability. Its 12 threads, delivered through 6 cores, allow simultaneous processing that the Intel Processor N250's 4 cores and 4 threads cannot match in any recorded test.
For single-thread responsiveness, the Ryzen AI 7 345 records 3875 in PassMark single-thread and 1818 in Cinebench R23 single-core. The Intel Processor N250 has no comparable data. The Ryzen AI 7 345 also leads in memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 38.4 GB/s, which benefits memory-intensive operations like data compression (237484 in PassMark) and random string sorting (25435 in PassMark).
The Intel Processor N250 does not win any recorded category. Its 6 W TDP, however, indicates a much lower power envelope than the Ryzen AI 7 345's 28 W TDP. The database contains no thermal or power efficiency benchmarks, so the Intel part's advantage remains a specification-level observation rather than a measured performance win.
Specification Differences
The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Processor N250 uses 4 cores and 4 threads. Base clocks diverge sharply: the AMD part starts at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel part lists a 0.10 GHz base clock. Boost clocks are 4.60 GHz for AMD and 3.80 GHz for Intel. TDP ratings are 28 W for the AMD processor and 6 W for the Intel processor.
Sockets differ entirely: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel Processor N250 uses Intel BGA 1264. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 with a single-channel bus and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth. Neither supports ECC memory.
PCIe capabilities also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Processor N250 provides Gen 3 with 9 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are the Radeon 840M for AMD and UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
Architecture Differences
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is built on the Krackan Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation using Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Cache is organized per-core: 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 4 MB L3. The Intel Processor N250 uses the Twin Lake architecture, part of the Intel Processor generation derived from Alder Lake-N. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. Cache is shared: 96 KB L1 per core, 2 MB shared L2, and 6 MB shared L3.
The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm. The foundries differ as well, TSMC for AMD and Intel for the Intel part. The AMD chip has a smaller L3 cache at 4 MB, but the Intel chip has a larger shared L3 at 6 MB. The AMD part's per-core L2 design gives 1 MB per core, while the Intel part shares 2 MB across all cores. The AMD processor supports 12 threads, which is double its core count, while the Intel processor supports exactly 4 threads, matching its core count. This indicates simultaneous multithreading on the AMD side and none on the Intel side.
The AMD processor launched on 2025-01-14, while the Intel processor launched on 2025-01-06. Both are active production parts in the mobile market segment. The AMD part number is 100-000002122, and the Intel part number is SRPNS.
The Verdict
The database shows a complete measurement profile for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and no measured profile for the Intel Processor N250. Any selection between the two must therefore rely on the AMD processor's recorded performance and both parts' specifications.
For users who need proven multi-threaded performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the only option with data. Its 81st percentile ranking, 11461 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, and 19927 in PassMark multi-thread place it among capable mobile processors. Its nearest rivals, all within roughly one percent in average score, include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X and the Intel Core i5-13500HX, which contextualizes its performance class.
For users who prioritize extremely low power consumption, the Intel Processor N250 draws 6 W versus 28 W for the AMD part. That 22 W difference in TDP is the clearest specification-level advantage for Intel. The Intel part also offers a larger shared L3 cache (6 MB versus 4 MB), support for DDR4 memory, and a lower base clock of 0.10 GHz, which likely reflects an ultra-low-power operating mode. However, the Intel processor has no recorded benchmark scores, so its actual performance cannot be verified from the database.
The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 delivers higher clock speeds, double the threads, more PCIe bandwidth, and more memory bandwidth. The Intel Processor N250 delivers a dramatically lower TDP and broader memory compatibility. The data supports the AMD processor for any workload where measured performance matters. The Intel processor remains a specification-only entry in the database, with its 50th percentile ranking serving as a placeholder until benchmark results are recorded.
