AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 vs Intel Core 5 130UL Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 and Intel Core 5 130UL occupy different positions in the processor landscape, with the database showing a clear performance gap between them. The AMD part achieves an average benchmark score of 39485 and sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part records no benchmark entries in the database and rests at the 50th percentile. This analysis relies solely on recorded measurements, comparing the available data for each processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 wins in every benchmark category where data exists, as the Intel Core 5 130UL has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The AMD processor delivers strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18316 and a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2713. Its single-thread results are equally solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2038 and a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 215.

The AMD part also dominates in PassMark workloads. It scores 315906 in data compression, 16247 in data encryption, and 22400 in extended instructions. Floating point math reaches 54447, integer math hits 88531, and the multithread score lands at 26350. The processor produces 35648 in random string sorting and 89 in find prime numbers. Physics testing yields 1578, while single-thread performance measures 3901 in both PassMark single-thread tests.

Since the Intel Core 5 130UL has no benchmark entries, the use-case split is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 covers both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, from compression and encryption to prime number calculation and floating point operations. The Intel part shows no recorded wins in any category, meaning the database cannot confirm any workload where it outperforms the AMD chip.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 uses Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 5 130UL uses Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-PS, part of the Core 5 generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded in the database.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 12 threads. The AMD chip runs at a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boosts to 5.10 GHz. The Intel chip has a lower base clock of 1.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The AMD part carries a thermal design power of 28 watts, while the Intel part draws 15 watts.

Cache layouts also diverge. Both processors feature 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support differs as well: the AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, plus ECC memory support. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but no bandwidth figure is recorded and ECC memory is not supported.

PCIe connectivity varies, with the AMD processor offering Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only) versus the Intel processor's Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 860M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD market segment is mobile, while the Intel segment is desktop. Release dates are also distinct, with the AMD part dated 2026-01-04 and the Intel part dated 2024-04-07.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, so direct comparisons must rely on the AMD part's recorded scores and the Intel part's absence of scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 produces an average benchmark score of 39485, placing it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 130UL has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, placing it at the 50th percentile.

Looking at the AMD processor's nearest rivals provides context for its performance level. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS has an average score of 39603, which is 0.3 percent higher than the Ryzen AI 7 450. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS scores 39325, putting the Ryzen AI 7 450 0.4 percent ahead. The AMD EPYC 4245P scores 39215, with the Ryzen AI 7 450 ahead by 0.7 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D scores 39768, placing the Ryzen AI 7 450 0.7 percent behind.

These delta values show that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 sits in a narrow performance band relative to these four rivals, within roughly one percent in either direction. The Intel Core 5 130UL has no nearest rivals listed, and with no benchmark scores, the database cannot establish any comparative deltas for it.

The AMD processor delivers strong results across every measured workload, including Cinebench R23 multicore at 18316, PassMark multithread at 26350, and PassMark single-thread at 3901.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 also offers a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, more threads at 16 versus 12, and a newer 4 nm process compared to Intel's 10 nm node. It supports ECC memory and LPDDR5X, and its 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth provides a measurable advantage. The Intel Core 5 130UL counters with more total cores at 10 versus 8, more L3 cache at 12 MB versus 8 MB, and a lower 15 W TDP compared to 28 W.

For users prioritizing raw compute performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is the clear choice based on database measurements. Its benchmark scores span compression, encryption, math operations, and single-thread workloads, all of which show robust results. The Intel Core 5 130UL may appeal to scenarios demanding lower power consumption at 15 W, but the absence of recorded benchmark data prevents any performance validation. The database indicates that the AMD processor belongs to the 87th percentile, while the Intel part remains at the 50th percentile, a gap that reflects the substantial scoring difference between the two.
