AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE and Intel Core 7 360 occupy different corners of the processor market, and the recorded data shows a clear split between them. The AMD part is a desktop-oriented, 8-core, 16-thread processor with a 35 W TDP, built on TSMC's 4 nm process. The Intel part is a mobile-oriented, 6-core, 6-thread processor with a 15 W TDP, built on Intel's 3 nm process. The database contains no benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE, while the Intel Core 7 360 has a full suite of recorded measurements. This asymmetry defines the analysis: the Intel part has verifiable performance data, and the AMD part is characterized by its architectural specifications alone.

The Verdict

The Intel Core 7 360 is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score of 18374 places it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The nearest rivals, which are all Intel processors, show a tight cluster: the Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380 (a 0% delta), the Intel Core 5 330 scores 18345 (0.2% behind), the Intel Core i3-14100 scores 18318 (0.3% behind), and the Intel Core 3 305 scores 18302 (0.4% behind). This indicates the Core 7 360 performs essentially at parity with those established desktop chips despite its mobile designation and lower 15 W TDP.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no benchmark scores in the database, so its percentile is 50 and its average score is 0. No direct performance comparison can be made from measurements. The data does show it has 8 cores and 16 threads versus the Intel's 6 cores and 6 threads, which suggests a multi-threaded advantage for the AMD part, but no recorded score confirms it. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the Intel Core 7 360 is the verified performer, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE remains an unmeasured entity. Users who require confirmed benchmark results should select the Intel part; users who prioritize core count and simultaneous multithreading on a desktop platform should consider the AMD part, but with no recorded data to validate its performance.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Core 7 360 uses a 3 nm process from Intel. The AMD codename is Gorgon Point, and its generation is listed as Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). The Intel codename is Wildcat Lake, and its generation is listed as Core 5 (Wildcat Lake). The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 6 threads, meaning the Intel part lacks simultaneous multithreading entirely.

Cache organization differs significantly. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. This yields a total of 8 MB L3 for AMD and 6 MB L3 for Intel. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports the same memory types but on a single-channel bus with a bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, and the Intel part does not.

The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket AM5 and has 12 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor uses the Intel BGA 1516 socket and has 6 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. The integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon 860M, and the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe units. The AMD part has a die size of 195 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded. The AMD part is classified as Desktop, and the Intel part is classified as Mobile.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core 7 360 wins in every measured benchmark category because no scores exist for the AMD part. The Intel part's Cinebench results show a multicore score of 13634 in R23, a singlecore score of 1924 in R23, a multicore score of 5726 in R20, a singlecore score of 808 in R20, a multicore score of 1374 in R15, and a singlecore score of 193 in R15. These numbers confirm its position in the 72nd percentile. In PassMark tests, it scores 142877 in data compression, 11164 in data encryption, 12390 in extended instructions, 120 in find prime numbers, 44963 in floating point math, 34238 in integer math, 15544 in multithread, 1213 in physics, and 17636 in random string sorting. Its single thread score is 4274.

The AMD part has no recorded wins because the database has no benchmarks for it. However, the specification data suggests where it might win if measured. It has more cores and threads, a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.80 GHz, a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz, a larger L3 cache of 8 MB versus 6 MB, and a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 59.7 GB/s. These specifications point to potential advantages in heavily threaded workloads and memory-intensive tasks. The Intel part wins on process node (3 nm versus 4 nm), L1 and L2 cache per core, and lower TDP (15 W versus 35 W), which matters for mobile power efficiency.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty in the database, and the win counts are zero for both processors. This means no direct comparison measurements exist. The only recorded scores belong to the Intel Core 7 360. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13634 and singlecore score of 1924 are the standout numbers. In PassMark, its multithread score of 15544 and single thread score of 4274 show balance. Data compression at 142877 is its highest PassMark subscore, while find prime numbers at 120 is the lowest. The physics score of 1213 and extended instructions score of 12390 round out the profile.

Because the AMD part has no benchmark entries, the largest wins in either direction cannot be calculated. The Intel part's wins are absolute in the sense that all recorded scores are its own. The AMD part's potential wins are speculative, based only on core count, clock speed, cache size, and memory bandwidth. The boost clock difference of 5.10 GHz versus 4.80 GHz is the largest clock advantage for AMD, and the thread count difference of 16 versus 6 is the largest architectural advantage. Without measured scores, these remain specifications rather than results.
