AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

Recorded benchmark data gives the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 a clean sweep over the Intel Core 5 211TE. The AMD part wins all 15 head-to-head tests, posts an average benchmark score of 34222 against 15370, and sits at the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel part sits at the 69th. The advantage ranges from 5.6% in Passmark physics to 172.3% in Passmark single-thread, so the question is not which processor wins, but how large the gap is for each workload.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 wins in every recorded workload category. The Intel Core 5 211TE has zero wins, so the use-case split is defined by the size of the AMD lead rather than by any Intel strength.

For heavily single-threaded work, the AMD advantage is enormous. Passmark single-thread scores are 3834 for AMD and 1408 for Intel, a 172.3% delta. Integer math also favors AMD heavily: 85651 against 33991, a 152% delta. Extended instructions follow at 151.6% (21678 vs 8615). Data compression and random string sorting show similar margins, at 127.9% and 124.2%. Multithreaded throughput also belongs to AMD, with a 113.4% lead in Passmark multithread and a 101.5% lead in Cinebench R15 multicore.

The closest category is physics simulation, where AMD scores 1349 and Intel scores 1278, a 5.6% margin. Prime-number throughput is also close, at 80 vs 72, an 11.1% margin. The Intel part cannot be assigned any workload win from the recorded data; its best case is still a single-digit percentage loss in Passmark physics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head table contains 15 entries, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is the winner in every one. The biggest margin is 172.3% in Passmark single-thread: AMD 3834, Intel 1408. The identical result appears again as passmark_singlethread.

Passmark integer math is almost as lopsided, 85651 to 33991, for a 152% delta. Passmark extended instructions gives AMD 21678 against Intel 8615, a 151.6% delta. Data compression follows at 127.9% (304089 vs 133434), random string sorting at 124.2% (33266 vs 14838), and Passmark multithread at 113.4% (24935 vs 11685). Data encryption shows a 110.8% delta (15244 vs 7231), floating-point math 103.6% (53230 vs 26150), and Cinebench R15 multicore 101.5% (2477 vs 1229). Cinebench R15 single-core is also an AMD win, 294 to 173, a 69.9% delta.

The Cinebench R23 results are closer: multicore 16014.5 vs 12201, a 31.3% delta, and single-core 1958 vs 1722, a 13.7% delta. The two smallest margins are Passmark find prime numbers, 80 vs 72, an 11.1% delta, and Passmark physics, 1349 vs 1278, a 5.6% delta. The pattern is consistent: AMD leads by triple digits in most Passmark math, compression, encryption, and single-thread tests, and by smaller but still positive margins in the Cinebench and physics tests.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ in several core specifications. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 has 8 cores, a 2.00 GHz base clock, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The Intel Core 5 211TE has 10 cores, a 1.70 GHz base clock, and a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The AMD part carries a 28 W TDP and uses AMD Socket FP8; the Intel part has a 45 W TDP and uses Intel Socket 1700.

The AMD chip is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a 195 mm² die, while the Intel chip is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 215 mm² die. The AMD part is a mobile part; the Intel part is a desktop part. Memory support differs: AMD lists DDR5 and LPDDR5X, Intel lists DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s for AMD and 76.8 GB/s for Intel. ECC memory is false for AMD and true for Intel. PCIe support is Gen 4 with 16 lanes for AMD and Gen 5 with 16 lanes for Intel.

Integrated graphics are Radeon 860M on the AMD part and UHD Graphics 730 on the Intel part. The release dates are 2025-01-05 for AMD and 2025-01-12 for Intel. The part numbers are 100-000001601 and SRQDL. The Intel Core 5 211TE has a launch MSRP of $221.

Architecture Differences

Architecturally, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, uses the Zen 5 architecture, and carries the codename Krackan Point. The Intel Core 5 211TE belongs to the Core 5 generation and carries the codename Bartlett Lake.

The manufacturing difference is significant: AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 10 nm process with Intel as foundry. The cache layout also differs. AMD has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. Intel has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. Intel therefore has more cores, more L2 per core, and a larger L3 capacity, yet the benchmark data still favors AMD.

The AMD part integrates Radeon 860M graphics; the Intel part integrates UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part uses a mobile socket and does not support ECC memory; the Intel part uses a desktop socket and supports ECC memory. The AMD part connects with PCIe Gen 4, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5. These architectural choices align with the recorded use cases: the AMD chip is a lower-TDP mobile processor with faster recorded performance, while the Intel chip is a desktop processor with ECC and newer PCIe connectivity.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to one clear performance conclusion: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is faster than the Intel Core 5 211TE in every measured workload. The AMD part leads by 172.3% in Passmark single-thread, by 152% in integer math, and by 101.5% in Cinebench R15 multicore. Its average benchmark score of 34222 places it at the 84th percentile, while the Intel part's 15370 average places it at the 69th percentile.

In the broader database, the AMD part sits near the AMD EPYC 4244P (34220, 0% delta) and is 0.3% behind the Intel Core i5-13450HX (34333). The Intel part sits near the AMD EPYC 7543 (15477, -0.7%) and 2.3% ahead of the Intel Core i3-1315U (15022).

The Intel Core 5 211TE offers the structural features that the AMD part lacks: ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5, a desktop socket, and a larger 20 MB L3 cache. But no recorded benchmark shows an Intel win. The closest result, Passmark physics at 1349 vs 1278, still favors AMD by 5.6%. The data therefore supports choosing the AMD part when performance is the only criterion, and choosing the Intel part only when its platform features, such as ECC or PCIe Gen 5, are required.
