The Verdict

The database shows two distinctly positioned processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile processor with a 28-watt TDP, 12 threads, and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. It carries an average benchmark score of 26936 and ranks in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 100UL is a desktop processor with a 15-watt TDP, 8 threads, and a 4.50 GHz boost clock. It ranks in the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, meaning the database has no recorded performance measurements for this part.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is the only one of the two with benchmark data in the database. Its recorded scores span Cinebench and Passmark workloads, covering multi-core rendering, single-core performance, integer math, floating-point math, encryption, compression, and extended instruction sets. The Intel Core 3 100UL has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals listed, so any performance comparison must rely on architectural and specification analysis rather than direct measurement.

The Intel Core 3 100UL offers a lower power envelope, a desktop socket, DDR4 compatibility, and a larger shared L3 cache. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 offers a smaller process node, higher clocks, more threads, ECC memory support, and a higher PCIe lane count. Buyers choosing between these two should base their decision on platform requirements: the AMD part suits a low-power mobile or FP8 socket design with more compute threads, while the Intel part suits a desktop Socket 1700 build with a lower TDP and legacy DDR4 support.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and the Intel Core 3 100UL. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and neither winsA nor winsB records a victory. The Intel Core 3 100UL has no benchmark scores at all, so a direct numerical comparison of recorded performance is impossible.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 does have a full benchmark profile. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1723 in multi-core and 254 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 10590 in multi-core and 1806 in single-core. Passmark results include a multi-thread score of 18115, a single-thread score of 3591, integer math at 58332, floating-point math at 39362, data compression at 215812, data encryption at 10519, extended instructions at 15826, find prime numbers at 56, physics at 976, and random string sorting at 23488.

For context on the AMD part, the nearest rivals in the database show tight competition. The Intel Core i7-1370P averages 26900, which is 0.1 percent behind the Ryzen AI 7 445. The AMD Ryzen 5 7545U averages 26849, 0.3 percent behind. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G averages 27051, which is 0.4 percent ahead. The Intel Core i9-9900K averages 27097, 0.6 percent ahead. These deltas indicate the Ryzen AI 7 445 sits within a narrow performance band around these established desktop and mobile parts, with its average score of 26936 placing it between the 26900 of the i7-1370P and the 27051 of the Ryzen 7 5700G.

Without recorded data for the Intel Core 3 100UL, no win margins can be calculated in either direction. The only quantitative statements available come from the AMD part's own benchmark suite and its rival comparisons.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several specification fields. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel Core 3 100UL uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has 12 threads versus 8 threads on the Intel part. Base clocks differ substantially: 2.00 GHz for AMD versus 1.20 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are closer: 4.60 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. TDP differs by 13 watts, with AMD at 28 watts and Intel at 15 watts.

Memory support differs in type and bandwidth. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel Core 3 100UL supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel part has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. Both use dual-channel memory buses.

PCIe configurations also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel Core 3 100UL provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 840M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 64EU. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part has a part number of 100-000001935, while the Intel part's part number is listed as unknown.

The market segments differ as well: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is classified as Mobile, and the Intel Core 3 100UL is classified as Desktop. Release dates are recorded differently: the AMD part lists 2026-01-04, and the Intel part lists 2024-04-07. Both processors are marked as Active in production status.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two processors is significant. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 3 100UL uses Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-PS, belonging to the Core 3 generation built on Raptor Lake-PS. It is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Cache layouts reflect different design philosophies. The AMD part allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a modest 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also uses 80 KB of L1 per core but allocates 1.25 MB of L2 per core and provides a larger 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's L3 advantage of 6 MB over the AMD part could benefit workloads that rely on shared cache residency, though no benchmark data exists to confirm this in the database.

The thread configuration difference stems from the core designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 supports simultaneous multithreading, yielding 12 threads from 6 cores. The Intel Core 3 100UL yields 8 threads from 6 cores, indicating a hybrid or non-symmetric thread arrangement typical of Raptor Lake's P-core and E-core mix, though the database does not specify core type distribution.

Process node and foundry choices also differentiate the two. The AMD part's 4 nm TSMC process is smaller than Intel's 10 nm process, which typically allows higher transistor density and lower power per transistor. The Intel part compensates with a lower TDP of 15 watts versus 28 watts, suggesting the platform design targets lower sustained power draw. The AMD part's higher TDP aligns with its higher base clock and additional threads.

Memory controller support follows the architecture. The AMD part supports LPDDR5X in addition to DDR5, which is typical for mobile designs, and it includes ECC support. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 but lacks ECC support. PCIe lane counts also reflect platform positioning: the AMD part exposes 14 Gen 4 CPU lanes, while the Intel part exposes 8 Gen 4 CPU lanes.

The integrated GPU units differ in brand and configuration. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 pairs with a Radeon 840M, and the Intel Core 3 100UL pairs with UHD Graphics 64EU. The database does not include iGPU benchmark scores for either processor, so no performance ranking between the two graphics blocks can be derived from recorded data.
