AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 vs Intel Processor 300 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, while the Intel Processor 300 has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for most workloads. However, the AMD processor's scores can be positioned against the broader CPU landscape, and the architectural data for both parts provides a clear picture of expected performance differences.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16054 and a single-core score of 2010. The Cinebench R15 results show 2457 in multicore and 220 in single-core. These scores place the processor in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 37093, which lands it within 0.2% of several established desktop and mobile parts. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-12900T, averages 37112, a delta of -0.1%. The AMD Ryzen 7 160 averages 37117, also -0.1%. The Intel Core i7-13700 sits at 37135, an identical -0.1% gap. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735H averages 37161, a -0.2% difference. This clustering indicates that the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 performs on par with a range of high-end processors from both manufacturers, despite being a mobile part with a 28 W TDP.

The PassMark suite reinforces this positioning. The multithread score is 24779, and the single-thread score is 3955 (recorded twice in the database under slightly different test names, confirming consistency). Integer math scores 86227, floating-point math scores 52971, and extended instructions score 20778. Data compression reaches 294298, while data encryption scores 14925. Random string sorting produces 32344, and find prime numbers scores 84. Physics testing yields 1337.

Since the Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark entries in the database, the comparison rests on specifications and the known performance class of each design. The Intel part is a 2-core, 4-thread desktop processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It runs at a fixed 3.90 GHz base clock with no boost clock listed. The AMD part is an 8-core, 16-thread mobile processor using Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, built on TSMC's 4 nm node, with a 2.00 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost. The core count difference alone, 8 versus 2, points to a substantial multicore advantage for the AMD chip. Single-thread performance is less predictable from specifications alone, but the 5.10 GHz boost ceiling on the AMD part suggests strong peak performance.

The absence of Intel benchmark data means the database cannot quantify the gap. What the data does show is that the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 competes with processors like the Core i7-13700 and Ryzen 7 7735H, both of which are significantly more powerful than a dual-core Raptor Lake desktop chip in multithreaded workloads. The percentile placement of 85 versus 50 reinforces this. The Intel Processor 300 sits at the median of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits well above it.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear split. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is the stronger processor by nearly every measurable metric. It has 4 times the cores, 4 times the threads, a higher boost clock, a smaller process node, and a benchmark suite that places it in the 85th percentile. Its average score of 37093 is within 0.2% of the Intel Core i9-12900T, the AMD Ryzen 7 160, the Intel Core i7-13700, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7735H. Those are not entry-level processors. The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 belongs in that company.

The Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance cannot be verified from recorded data. Its specifications position it as a basic dual-core desktop part. A 2-core, 4-thread configuration with a 3.90 GHz fixed clock and 6 MB of shared L3 cache is suitable for light workloads, but it does not match the threading capacity or the peak clock speed of the AMD part. The Intel chip does have a higher base clock, 3.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, and a higher TDP at 46 W versus 28 W. It also uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes. These differences matter for platform-level decisions, but they do not offset the core and thread deficit.

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 is the appropriate choice for users who need multicore performance, high peak clocks, and efficient power use. The Intel Processor 300 is the appropriate choice for users who need a simple desktop processor with a high fixed clock, a familiar socket, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. The launch MSRP for the Intel Processor 300 is $82.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 wins in multithreaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16054 and the PassMark multithread score of 24779 reflect its 8-core, 16-thread design. Workloads that scale across cores, such as rendering, video encoding, data compression, and scientific computing, will benefit from this configuration. The PassMark data compression score of 294298 and the integer math score of 86227 support this interpretation. The floating-point math score of 52971 and the extended instructions score of 20778 indicate strong performance in numerically intensive tasks. The encryption score of 14925 shows capable AES and cryptography throughput.

The AMD part also wins in power efficiency. Its 28 W TDP is lower than the Intel part's 46 W TDP, meaning the AMD processor delivers higher performance while drawing less power according to the rated figures. The 4 nm TSMC process node versus Intel's 10 nm node explains part of this efficiency gap.

The Intel Processor 300 wins in base clock speed. Its 3.90 GHz fixed clock is nearly double the AMD part's 2.00 GHz base. For single-threaded tasks that do not boost, or for workloads where sustained base frequency matters more than peak boost, the Intel chip has an advantage. However, the AMD part's 5.10 GHz boost clock likely overcomes this in burst workloads.

The Intel part also offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD part is limited to PCIe Gen 4. For users connecting the latest storage devices or expansion cards, this could be a deciding factor. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. This gives the Intel platform more flexibility for memory upgrades, particularly if a user already owns DDR4 modules.

The AMD part supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. This makes the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 more suitable for error-sensitive workloads such as data processing or long-duration compute tasks. The AMD part also has a larger L3 cache at 8 MB versus 6 MB, and a larger die size at 195 mm² versus 163 mm².
