AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 vs Intel Core Ultra 5 235H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two mobile processors into clearly defined roles. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H dominates the overwhelming majority of recorded tests, taking 14 of 15 head-to-head comparisons. Its wins span rendering, encryption, floating-point workloads, and general multithreaded throughput. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 secures exactly one victory, but it is a meaningful one: integer math.

For heavily threaded productivity, the Intel part is the clear choice. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 25,598 against the AMD's 16,054, a 59.4% advantage. Similar margins appear in PassMark multithread (30,091 versus 24,779, up 21.4%) and physics simulation (1,985 versus 1,337, up 48.5%). Anyone running video encoding, 3D rendering, or compilation workloads will see substantially higher throughput from the Intel chip.

The Intel processor also wins every single-core test. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 3,613 versus 2,010, a 79.8% gap, while PassMark single-thread lands at 4,359 versus 3,955, a 10.2% edge. The Cinebench R15 single-core margin is even larger at 65.5%. For lightly threaded applications such as web browsing, office documents, or legacy software, the Intel part holds a decisive advantage.

Specialized workloads also favor Intel. Data encryption shows a 54.9% lead (23,121 versus 14,925), floating-point math is 76.5% ahead (93,509 versus 52,971), and prime number calculation is 184.5% higher (239 versus 84). Extended instruction throughput is 12.4% better, and random string sorting is 11.9% ahead.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450's single win in integer math is not trivial. It scores 86,227 versus 74,247, a 13.9% lead in the Intel's favor reversed. This suggests AMD's Zen 5 architecture handles integer-heavy code, such as certain database operations or compression algorithms, more efficiently. However, this one result does not offset the Intel part's broad dominance elsewhere.

Looking at overall averages, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235H posts an average benchmark score of 37,522, placing it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 averages 37,093, also in the 85th percentile. The Intel chip's closest rival by average score is the Intel Core i9-13900HK at 37,425 (0.3% difference), while the AMD part sits 0.1% below the Intel Core i7-13700 at 37,135.
