AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core 5 213PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data paints a remarkably one-sided picture. Across all 15 recorded head-to-head comparisons, the Intel Core 5 213PE takes a clean sweep, with zero wins for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445. The margins, however, vary considerably by workload, which reveals the distinct character of each processor.

The most dramatic gap appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The Intel Core 5 213PE scores 22,468 against the AMD's 10,590, a delta of -52.9%. This is more than double the AMD's output in a heavily threaded rendering workload. The same pattern repeats in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where Intel's 2,264 beats AMD's 1,723 by 23.9%. These are not marginal differences; they indicate a fundamental advantage in sustained multi-threaded throughput.

Single-core performance tells a similar story, though the gap narrows. In Cinebench R23 single-core, Intel's 3,172 outpaces AMD's 1,806 by 43.1%. The R15 single-core test shows Intel leading 319 to 254, a 20.4% difference. The PassMark single-thread test, which measures a more general mix of integer and floating-point operations, shows the smallest margin of all: Intel's 4,060 versus AMD's 3,591, a delta of only 11.6%. This suggests that while Intel's architecture holds a clear advantage in peak single-core throughput, the AMD chip is comparatively closer in lighter, mixed workloads.

The PassMark suite reveals where the Intel chip's extra resources shine. Data compression shows Intel at 298,804 versus AMD's 215,812, a 27.8% lead. Data encryption follows with Intel at 15,916 against AMD's 10,519, a 33.9% advantage. Integer math is another strong point: 92,089 for Intel versus 58,332 for AMD, a 36.7% gap. Floating-point math shows a 42.6% lead for Intel (68,587 vs. 39,362). The prime number finding test is particularly lopsided: Intel's 114 versus AMD's 56, a 50.9% deficit for the AMD part.

The multi-threaded PassMark score confirms the overall trend. Intel's 26,434 beats AMD's 18,115 by 31.5%. Physics simulation, which is often sensitive to both core count and clock speed, shows Intel at 1,624 versus AMD's 976, a 39.9% lead. Random string sorting, a memory-latency-sensitive test, has Intel ahead 32,027 to 23,488, a 26.7% margin. Extended instruction set performance shows Intel leading 19,565 to 15,826, a 19.1% gap.

Where Each One Wins

Given the zero-win sweep for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, the use-case split is straightforward based on recorded data. The Intel Core 5 213PE wins every benchmark category in the database. There is no single measured workload where the AMD chip comes out ahead.

The closest contest is PassMark single-thread performance, where the gap narrows to 11.6%. This implies that in lightly threaded, short-duration tasks, the AMD chip is comparatively more competitive. The R15 single-core delta of 20.4% also sits on the lower end of the spread. Still, these are losses, not wins.

For workloads that stress multi-core rendering, integer math, or floating-point math, the Intel chip's advantages are large, often exceeding 35%. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result, with a 52.9% gap, suggests that heavy 3D rendering or video encoding tasks would heavily favor the Intel part. The prime number test, at 50.9% apart, points to a similar conclusion for pure computational loops.

The AMD chip's role, based on this data, is not one of category leadership. Its lower scores across all 15 tests mean it would be selected in scenarios where the Intel part is unavailable, or where the platform differences (socket, memory support, integrated graphics) outweigh raw performance. The data does not support any performance-based use case for the AMD chip.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 213PE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ: AMD runs at 2.00 GHz, Intel at 2.70 GHz. Boost clocks show a larger gap: AMD reaches 4.60 GHz, Intel up to 5.20 GHz.

Thermal design power is another clear separation. The AMD chip is rated at 28 watts, the Intel part at 65 watts. This is a 37-watt difference, and it reflects the AMD's mobile-oriented design versus Intel's desktop positioning.

The sockets are not interchangeable. AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, while Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support also diverges: AMD lists DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel lists DDR4 and DDR5. Both are dual-channel. Memory bandwidth differs, with AMD at 89.6 GB/s and Intel at 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe lanes and generation differ. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics are different as well: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The release dates are close but distinct. AMD's release date is January 4, 2026, while Intel's is March 8, 2026. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221; the AMD field records no launch MSRP. The part numbers differ: AMD is 100-000001935, Intel is SA4QG.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which the database notes as Zen 5 / Zen 5c. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. Cache layout shows 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The multiplier is not unlocked.

The Intel Core 5 213PE does not list an architecture field, but its codename is Bartlett Lake, and it belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation. Its process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. Cache is configured differently: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. This is a substantially larger L3 pool. The multiplier is also not unlocked.

The market segments differ: AMD is marked as Mobile, Intel as Desktop. This aligns with the TDP and socket differences. The process node advantage goes to AMD at 4 nm versus Intel's 10 nm, but the benchmark data shows that architectural efficiency does not translate into a performance win for the AMD part.

The cache hierarchy is a notable architectural contrast. Intel's 24 MB shared L3 is six times larger than AMD's 4 MB L3. Per-core L2 is also doubled on Intel (2 MB vs. 1 MB). These larger caches likely contribute to the Intel chip's strong results in data compression and random string sorting, where larger working sets can benefit from more on-die storage.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear choice for raw performance: the Intel Core 5 213PE. It wins all 15 head-to-head benchmarks, often by wide margins. The 52.9% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 50.9% lead in prime number finding, and the 42.6% lead in floating-point math all indicate that this chip delivers substantially higher throughput in compute-heavy tasks. Its 85th percentile ranking, versus the AMD's 79th, reinforces this position.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, by contrast, shows no performance advantage in any measured test. Its closest competition is in PassMark single-thread, where it trails by 11.6%. Its lower TDP of 28 watts, versus Intel's 65 watts, does point to a power-efficiency profile, but the database records no power consumption measurements or efficiency ratios. The AMD chip also uses a newer 4 nm process from TSMC, yet the benchmark results do not reflect a performance benefit from that node.

For users selecting between these two based on the database, the Intel Core 5 213PE is the performance pick. The AMD chip would only be relevant in contexts where its mobile form factor, FP8 socket, or LPDDR5X memory support are required, as those are platform features the Intel desktop part cannot offer. The data does not provide any scenario where the AMD chip wins on speed. The Intel part's larger core count, higher clocks, bigger cache, and higher TDP all align with its benchmark dominance. The AMD chip's strengths, if any, lie outside the performance metrics recorded here.
