AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 versus Intel Core 5 211TE is a matchup between a mobile-focused, high-efficiency processor and a desktop-oriented chip with more physical cores. The benchmark data shows a decisive overall winner, but the Intel part claims one specific workload victory, and the architectural differences explain why.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 wins 14 of the 15 recorded head-to-head tests, and many of those wins are substantial. The largest margin comes in PassMark’s single-thread test, where AMD scores 3862 against Intel’s 1408, a 174.3% advantage. That same pattern repeats in integer math: AMD posts 77414 versus 33991, a 127.7% delta. The data suggests the AMD core design has a massive per-thread throughput advantage over the Intel chip’s cores.

In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD part still leads, but the gap narrows in some tests. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows AMD at 13794 and Intel at 12201, a 13.1% difference. That is a much closer result than the PassMark multi-thread score, where AMD leads 22125 to 11685, a 89.3% gap. The difference between those two tests likely reflects how well each workload scales with the Intel chip’s 10 cores versus AMD’s 8 cores.

The AMD part also dominates in data-heavy tasks. Data compression shows AMD at 256603 versus Intel’s 133434, a 92.3% delta. Data encryption follows a similar pattern: 13264 for AMD, 7231 for Intel, an 83.4% lead. Extended instructions, which include SIMD and cryptography workloads, show AMD at 18029 versus 8615, a 109.3% advantage. Floating-point math also goes heavily to AMD: 46996 versus 26150, a 79.7% delta.

Random string sorting, a test that stresses memory and branch prediction, shows AMD at 28390 versus Intel’s 14838, a 91.3% lead. Even the prime number search, often a tight race, goes to AMD by 5.6% (76 versus 72). The only Intel win is in PassMark physics, where Intel scores 1278 against AMD’s 1257, a 1.6% margin. That is a narrow victory, but it is the sole bright spot for the Intel part in this comparison.

Cinebench R15 results are even more lopsided than R23. In R15 multi-core, AMD scores 2023 versus Intel’s 1229, a 64.6% delta. In R15 single-core, AMD leads 271 to 173, a 56.6% gap. The R23 single-core test shows AMD at 1958 versus 1722, a 13.7% lead, which is far smaller than the R15 single-core margin. That inconsistency suggests the Intel chip’s boost behavior or thermal management changes significantly between those two test versions.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 uses Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, codenamed Strix Point. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel Core 5 211TE uses Bartlett Lake on a 10 nm Intel process, with 10 cores and 16 threads, base clock 1.70 GHz, boost clock 4.80 GHz. Intel’s process node is older and its clocks are slightly lower, yet it packs two more physical cores into the same thread count.

Cache layouts differ considerably. AMD provides 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 8 MB of shared L3. Intel also has 80 KB L1 per core but a larger 1.25 MB L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has substantially more aggregate cache, which may explain why its physics test score is slightly higher despite slower cores.

Memory support diverges. AMD uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generations differ: AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The newer PCIe standard on Intel could matter for storage or GPU expansion, though the benchmark data does not directly measure that.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses Radeon 880M, which is a high-end integrated GPU. Intel uses UHD Graphics 730, a more basic solution. The AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8, while Intel is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip has a 28 W TDP, while Intel is rated at 45 W. Market segments reflect that: AMD targets mobile, Intel targets desktop.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 across nearly every workload category. The average benchmark score for AMD is 32662, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Intel’s average is 15370, in the 69th percentile. AMD’s nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (delta -0.1%) and Intel Core i5-14600T (delta -0.1%), meaning AMD sits in a competitive tier with those parts. Intel’s nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7543 (delta -0.7%) and the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U (delta -2%), showing it is in a lower performance class.

The Intel part wins only the physics test, and by a negligible 1.6%. That single result is not enough to offset AMD’s dominance in integer math, floating-point math, encryption, compression, and both Cinebench versions. The AMD part also has a much higher PassMark single-thread score, which suggests better responsiveness in lightly threaded applications.

For users who prioritize raw compute throughput, single-core speed, and memory bandwidth, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is the choice. The Intel Core 5 211TE offers more L3 cache and PCIe Gen 5 support, and it does edge out AMD in physics simulation, but those advantages do not translate to wins in the broader benchmark suite.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 wins in all compute-intensive benchmarks except physics. It is faster in single-core tests, multi-core tests, integer math, floating-point math, data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, random string sorting, and the overall PassMark multi-thread score. Its higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s) supports its advantage in bandwidth-sensitive tasks like data compression and encryption. The AMD part also has a much stronger integrated GPU (Radeon 880M versus UHD Graphics 730), which matters for systems without a discrete graphics card.

The Intel Core 5 211TE wins only in PassMark physics, where its 10 cores and larger 20 MB L3 cache may help in that specific simulation workload. It also offers PCIe Gen 5 support, which is a forward-looking feature for storage or GPU connectivity, and it supports DDR4 memory, which could be relevant for older desktop platforms. Its higher TDP of 45 W versus 28 W suggests it is designed for sustained desktop operation rather than mobile efficiency. For users who need the physics test specifically, or who require PCIe Gen 5, the Intel part has a role. For everything else in the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is the faster processor.
