AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 vs Intel Core 5 210H Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data separates these two mobile processors clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 wins 14 of the 15 recorded head-to-head comparisons, with the Intel Core 5 210H taking only a single victory. The AMD part's average benchmark score of 37093 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel chip's 24872 average lands in the 77th percentile. The AMD processor sits within 0.2% of the Intel Core i9-12900T, the AMD Ryzen 7 160, and the Intel Core i7-13700 in average score, meaning it trades blows with those desktop-class parts. The Intel Core 5 210H, by contrast, sits within 0.4% of the Intel Core i7-13620H, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, Intel Core i7-11850H, and AMD Ryzen 5 7500F. For workloads that leverage many threads, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is the clear choice from this data. For users prioritizing a specific single-threaded legacy benchmark, the Intel part shows a narrow edge, but the broader single-thread results favor AMD.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that mixes 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 210H uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Core 5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process. Both chips have 8 cores, but the AMD part supports 16 threads while the Intel part supports 12 threads, reflecting a different core topology. The AMD chip has an 80 KB L1 cache per core and 1 MB L2 per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip also has 80 KB L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and provides 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and it includes ECC memory support. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also dual-channel, but has no ECC support and no recorded memory bandwidth figure. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 8 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ: the AMD chip uses Radeon 860M, the Intel chip uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel chip runs at 2.20 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The AMD chip has a 28 W TDP, the Intel chip has a 45 W TDP. The AMD part is unlocked? No, both are locked. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1744.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 dominates in multi-threaded and compute-heavy tasks. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16054 versus 11830 for the Intel part shows a 35.7% advantage. The PassMark multithread score of 24779 versus 18252 is a 35.8% gap. The AMD chip also leads in integer math by 40.2%, floating point math by 17.6%, data compression by 35.1%, data encryption by 22.5%, extended instructions by 55.4%, prime number finding by 58.5%, physics by 28.6%, and random string sorting by 37.9%. These results indicate the AMD processor is better suited for rendering, scientific computing, data processing, and any workload that scales with thread count. The Intel Core 5 210H wins only Cinebench R15 single-core, scoring 247 versus 220, a 10.9% advantage. That single result suggests a legacy single-threaded workload could favor Intel, but the newer Cinebench R23 single-core test shows the AMD part ahead by 13.5%, and PassMark single-thread shows AMD ahead by 11.8%. The Intel chip also has a higher base clock (2.20 GHz versus 2.00 GHz) and a larger L3 cache (12 MB versus 8 MB), which may help in certain cache-sensitive tasks, but the recorded benchmarks do not show a consistent Intel advantage outside that one R15 single-core result.
