AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 and Intel Core 5 213PTE are both 8-core, 16-thread processors, but the data shows they are built for different environments and deliver contrasting strengths. The AMD part is a mobile processor on the Zen 5 architecture, while the Intel part is a desktop chip from the Bartlett Lake family. The benchmark database records 8 wins for the AMD and 7 for the Intel across 15 head-to-head tests, but the margins of those wins reveal a clear split: AMD dominates in data processing and single-threaded PassMark tests, while Intel takes the lead in Cinebench rendering and several math workloads. The average benchmark scores place the AMD at 39485 with an 87th percentile ranking, while the Intel sits at 32924 with an 83rd percentile ranking.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is the stronger overall processor in the database’s average scoring, with a 39485 average benchmark score against the Intel Core 5 213PTE’s 32924. The AMD also holds a higher percentile rank at 87 versus 83. However, the choice between the two depends entirely on the workload. The AMD wins the PassMark multithread test with 26350 versus 25590, a 3% margin, and it is significantly ahead in data compression, encryption, extended instructions, and random string sorting. The Intel part, by contrast, wins Cinebench R23 multicore with 21751 versus 18316, a 15.8% margin, and it also takes Cinebench R15 single-core, Cinebench R23 single-core, floating-point math, integer math, prime number finding, and physics simulations.

For users prioritizing Cinebench rendering performance, physics calculations, or math-heavy floating-point work, the Intel Core 5 213PTE is the data-backed choice. For users focused on data compression, encryption, extended instruction sets, or general PassMark multithread performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 delivers better results. The AMD’s higher average score and percentile suggest it is the more balanced option overall, but the Intel’s commanding leads in specific rendering and math tests make it the superior pick for those particular workloads. The AMD is a mobile processor on Socket FP8, while the Intel is a desktop processor on Socket 1700, so platform compatibility is also a defining factor.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 uses the Zen 5 architecture from the Gorgon Point codename, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel. The AMD part belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, while the Intel part belongs to the Core 5 generation for Bartlett Lake.

Cache configurations also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the AMD has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel has 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache is a larger difference: the AMD has 8 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel has 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This larger cache pool on the Intel part likely contributes to its stronger Cinebench scores.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The AMD has a higher rated memory bandwidth, while the Intel offers broader memory compatibility with DDR4 support. Both parts support ECC memory. The AMD has 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, while the Intel has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, giving the Intel a newer PCIe generation.

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD uses the Radeon 860M, while the Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD is a mobile processor with a 28 TDP, while the Intel is a desktop processor with a 45 TDP. The AMD has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
