AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Processor U302L Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the clear performance leader in this comparison, with a benchmark record that places it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Processor U302L, by contrast, sits in the 50th percentile, and the database contains no recorded benchmark scores for it. This means every measurable performance win in this matchup belongs to the AMD part, and the Intel chip cannot claim a single recorded victory in any workload category.

The Ryzen AI 7 345 shows its strength across the full spectrum of tested workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it records a score of 11461, while in single-core it reaches 1818. The PassMark suite further confirms the AMD part's dominance: integer math scores 63475, floating point math scores 42621, and multithread performance registers 19927. Data compression work scores 237484, and encryption work scores 11814. These are the only recorded numbers in the database for either chip, and they all belong to the AMD side.

For the Intel Processor U302L, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot assign it any wins. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, which reflects the empty benchmark array rather than an actual performance result. The comparison therefore resolves entirely in favor of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, which delivers measurable results in every recorded test while the Intel chip offers none.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses the Krackan Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Processor U302L uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and it is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip provides 5 cores and 6 threads. Clock speeds also diverge: the AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, whereas the Intel part has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 2.40 GHz. The boost difference alone, 4.60 GHz versus 2.40 GHz, represents a significant gap in peak frequency capability.

Cache layouts follow different strategies. Both chips allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip uses 1 MB of L2 per core and a 4 MB L3 cache. The Intel chip uses a slightly larger 1.25 MB of L2 per core and a shared 10 MB L3 cache. This means the Intel chip has more total L3 cache, 10 MB versus 4 MB, but the AMD chip benefits from smaller per-core L2 in exchange for a larger thread count.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. ECC memory is not supported on either part.

PCIe lanes differ as well. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip uses the Radeon 840M, and the Intel chip uses the UHD Graphics 80EU. Both chips are unlocked multipliers, meaning neither supports overclocking via multiplier adjustment.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. The wins counter shows 0 wins for each side in the head-to-head category. However, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 has a full benchmark record, while the Intel Processor U302L has none, so the comparison must rely on the AMD chip's standalone scores.

The AMD chip's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11461 and single-core score of 1818 provide the primary reference points. In PassMark testing, the AMD chip records 63475 in integer math, 42621 in floating point math, 237484 in data compression, 11814 in data encryption, 17003 in extended instructions, 62 in prime number finding, 25435 in random string sorting, 1089 in physics, and 3875 in single-thread performance. The multithread score is 19927.

The Intel chip has no scores to compare against any of these figures. Its average benchmark score of zero reflects this absence. The AMD chip's average benchmark score of 29461 places it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with an average score of 29447 and a delta of 0 percent, the AMD EPYC 9654 with 29409 and a delta of 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i5-13500HX with 29270 and a delta of 0.7 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE with 29656 and a delta of -0.7 percent. These rival comparisons show the AMD chip performing within a narrow band of similar-scoring processors, roughly 0.7 percent on either side.

The Verdict

The data points decisively to the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 as the stronger processor in every measurable dimension. It has more cores, 6 versus 5, and double the threads, 12 versus 6. Its base clock is higher at 2.00 GHz versus 1.20 GHz, and its boost clock reaches 4.60 GHz versus 2.40 GHz. The AMD chip also uses a more advanced 4 nm manufacturing process compared to Intel's 10 nm node.

The Intel Processor U302L does hold advantages in specific specification areas. It offers more L3 cache at 10 MB shared versus 4 MB, and slightly more L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB. It also supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, whereas the AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X only. The Intel chip has a lower TDP at 15 watts versus 28 watts, which can matter for thermally constrained designs. The Intel chip also has a recorded launch MSRP of $285, while the AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP.

For workload selection, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 serves applications that benefit from higher thread counts and higher clock speeds. Its 12 threads and 4.60 GHz boost clock suit multi-threaded productivity tasks and lightly threaded workloads that respond to high single-core frequency. The Intel Processor U302L, with 6 threads and a 2.40 GHz boost clock, positions itself for lower-power scenarios where the reduced TDP of 15 watts matters more than raw throughput, though the database provides no benchmark evidence of its performance level.

Users selecting between these two should base decisions on the recorded data: the AMD chip delivers measured performance across a broad benchmark suite, while the Intel chip offers no recorded performance data at all. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is the only one of the two with verifiable benchmark results, and those results place it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Processor U302L sits in the 50th percentile with no scores to substantiate any performance claim.
