AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Processor N150 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded Cinebench data shows a decisive advantage for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 across all four shared tests. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the AMD part scores 10,590 against 2,590.5 for the Intel Processor N150, a delta of 308.8%. This is not a marginal lead; the AMD processor delivers more than four times the multi-threaded rendering throughput. The Cinebench R15 multi-core result follows the same pattern: 1,723 versus 422.5, a 307.8% gap. Both multi-core tests confirm that the Ryzen AI 7 445 operates in a different performance class entirely.

Single-core results narrow the gap but still favor AMD substantially. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 1,806 for the Ryzen AI 7 445 versus 935 for the Intel N150, a 93.2% advantage. The R15 single-core test records 254 against 153.15, a 65.9% lead. While the percentage difference shrinks compared to multi-core, the absolute margin remains large. The data indicates that even in lightly threaded workloads, the AMD processor holds a commanding edge.

The Intel Processor N150 does not win any of the four head-to-head benchmarks. Its best relative showing comes in R15 single-core, where it trails by 65.9%, but that still represents a significant shortfall. The benchmark database places the Ryzen AI 7 445 in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel N150 sits in the 28th percentile. The average benchmark score reinforces this hierarchy: 26,936 for the AMD part versus 1,025 for the Intel part, a difference of roughly 26 times.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 wins every measured category, but the shape of its victories matters for real-world use. Multi-threaded workloads show the largest deltas: 308.8% in R23 multi-core and 307.8% in R15 multi-core. This suggests the AMD processor is suited for rendering, compilation, or any task that scales with core count. The PassMark suite adds more color: the Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 215,812 in data compression, 58,332 in integer math, and 39,362 in floating point math. These are not included in the head-to-head table, but they appear in the database as standalone benchmarks. The Intel N150 has no recorded PassMark scores, so direct comparison in those tests is impossible from the available data.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the AMD part still wins, but the margin is smaller. The 93.2% lead in R23 single-core and 65.9% lead in R15 single-core indicate that the Intel N150 is not completely outclassed in basic interaction tasks, though it remains slower. The AMD processor also shows strength in encryption and extended instructions from the PassMark results: 10,519 in data encryption and 15,826 in extended instructions. The Intel N150 lacks corresponding entries, so the database cannot confirm whether it would compete in those specific workloads.

The Intel N150 has no recorded wins. Its only advantage lies in power consumption, where its 6 W TDP contrasts sharply with the AMD part's 28 W TDP. The database does not include battery life measurements, so the practical impact of that TDP difference cannot be quantified here. The performance gap is so large that any efficiency benefit would need to be weighed against the massive compute deficit.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation with the Gorgon Point codename. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, leveraging simultaneous multithreading to double its logical thread count. The Intel Processor N150 uses Twin Lake architecture on a 10 nm Intel process, derived from the Alder Lake-N generation. It has 4 cores and 4 threads, with no hyperthreading support. The core count difference alone explains much of the multi-core performance gap, but the thread count difference amplifies it: 12 threads versus 4 threads is a 3x theoretical parallelism advantage.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD processor allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a 4 MB shared L3 cache. The Intel part uses 96 KB of L1 per core, a shared 2 MB L2, and a shared 6 MB L3. The larger L3 on the Intel chip (6 MB versus 4 MB) is notable, but the AMD part's per-core L2 design may help with localized data access patterns. The total cache footprint favors Intel in L3, yet the benchmark results show that this does not translate into performance wins.

Memory support differs sharply. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, delivering 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel N150 supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 over a single-channel bus, yielding 38.4 GB/s. That is a 2.3x bandwidth advantage for the AMD part, which matters for integrated graphics and memory-heavy workloads. The AMD processor also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. PCIe connectivity follows the same pattern: the AMD chip offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 3 with 9 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The database does not include graphics benchmarks for either, so performance cannot be compared directly. The AMD processor uses the FP8 socket, while the Intel part uses BGA 1264. Manufacturing process differences (4 nm versus 10 nm) suggest the AMD chip should have a transistor density advantage, though the database does not list transistor counts or die sizes for either part.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is for users who need compute throughput, while the Intel Processor N150 is for scenarios where absolute minimum power draw matters more than performance. The benchmark database shows the AMD part winning all four shared tests by margins ranging from 65.9% to 308.8%. Its 79th percentile standing among all CPUs, compared to the Intel part's 28th percentile, places them in different market tiers.

The AMD processor's 6 cores and 12 threads, dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm node all contribute to its dominance. The Intel part's 4 cores and 4 threads, single-channel memory with 38.4 GB/s, and Twin Lake architecture on a 10 nm node explain its lower scores. The TDP difference (28 W versus 6 W) is the only metric where Intel leads, and the database offers no battery life or thermal data to contextualize that advantage.

For users prioritizing rendering, compilation, or any multi-threaded workload, the Ryzen AI 7 445 is the only choice based on the recorded numbers. For users who need a low-power processor for basic tasks and extended battery operation, the Intel N150 may suffice, but the performance sacrifice is substantial. The data does not support any scenario where the Intel part wins on performance.
