AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G vs Intel Core 3 304 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G and the Intel Core 3 304. The database lists benchmark scores only for the Intel Core 3 304, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G has no recorded benchmark entries. This absence of a shared test set means a direct numerical comparison of the two processors cannot be derived from the current database.

What the data does show is the Intel Core 3 304's performance profile across Cinebench and Passmark tests. In Cinebench R23, the Intel chip scores 5263 points in multi-core and 1765 points in single-core. Older Cinebench versions show the same pattern: R20 multi-core at 4160 and single-core at 587, while R15 multi-core reaches 849 and single-core 264. The Passmark suite confirms a focused single-thread strength: the chip records 3614 in both the single_thread and singlethread tests, with a multithread score of 11625.

Passmark sub-tests reveal where the Intel Core 3 304 concentrates its compute. The data compression test returns 114775, the highest sub-score recorded, while data encryption reaches 8501. Extended instructions score 9686, floating point math 29722, and integer math 24640. Random string sorting hits 13659. The physics test is comparatively low at 868, and find prime numbers returns just 68. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 13745, placing the chip at the 68th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The nearest rival data puts that average score into context. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX averages 13786, which is only 0.3% higher than the Intel Core 3 304. The Intel Core i7-8750H averages 13868, 0.9% higher. The AMD EPYC 7443 averages 13936, 1.4% higher. The Intel Core 5 120UL averages 13594, which is 1.1% lower. These deltas show the Core 3 304 sitting squarely in a tight performance band, within roughly 1.5% of two high-end desktop workstation parts and a server processor, while edging past another Intel chip by just over one percent.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G holds structural advantages that point to wins in multi-threaded and memory-heavy workloads. Its 8 cores and 16 threads give it twice the thread count of the Intel Core 3 304's 5 cores and 5 threads. A dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth is a clear lead over the Intel chip's single-channel 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which the Intel chip does not. The 65-watt TDP suggests the AMD processor is designed for sustained compute rather than minimal power draw.

The Intel Core 3 304 wins in efficiency and portability, based on the recorded data. Its 15-watt TDP is a quarter of the AMD part's 65-watt figure, and it uses a mobile socket, Intel BGA 1516. The AMD chip uses a desktop socket, AMD Socket AM5, and is classified in the desktop market segment. The Intel chip is classified as mobile. For workloads that fit within a single thread, the Intel chip's recorded Cinebench and Passmark single-core scores are the only direct evidence available, and they are substantial: 3614 in Passmark single_thread and 1765 in Cinebench R23. The 68th percentile ranking and the average score of 13745 confirm that the Intel chip is a capable performer in its own right.

The AMD chip's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.30 GHz suggests a single-thread advantage, but without benchmark data, that remains a specification-based inference rather than a measured result. The database cannot confirm a win for the AMD part in any specific benchmark because no scores are recorded for it.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 3 304 uses 5 cores and 5 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for AMD and 1.50 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 5.10 GHz for AMD and 4.30 GHz for Intel. The TDP difference is large: 65 watts for AMD versus 15 watts for Intel.

Cache layouts differ in organization. The AMD chip lists 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel chip lists 192 KB of L1 total, 2.5 MB of L2 total, and 6 MB of shared L3. Memory support is identical in type, both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but the channels and bandwidth differ: dual-channel at 89.6 GB/s for AMD, single-channel at 59.7 GB/s for Intel. ECC memory is supported by AMD, not by Intel.

PCIe lanes differ as well. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses the Radeon 860M, Intel uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. The sockets are entirely different, AMD Socket AM5 versus Intel BGA 1516, and the market segments differ, desktop for AMD and mobile for Intel. The launch dates are close but not identical, the AMD part releasing on 2026-03-01 and the Intel part on 2026-04-15. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $309. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G is built on Gorgon Point, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC and has a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core 3 304 is built on Wildcat Lake, part of the Core 3 generation, and uses a 3 nm process from Intel. The Intel chip has no recorded die size.

The manufacturing foundries differ, TSMC for AMD and Intel for Intel. The process nodes are both advanced but not identical, 4 nm versus 3 nm. The core designs reflect different philosophies: AMD splits its 8 cores between Zen 5 and Zen 5c, while Intel uses a single core type in Wildcat Lake. Threading behavior differs sharply, with AMD supporting 16 threads across 8 cores and Intel running 5 threads across 5 cores, meaning the Intel chip has no hyperthreading in this configuration.

The cache architecture also differs in philosophy. AMD provides per-core L1 and L2 allocations, 80 KB and 1 MB per core respectively, plus an 8 MB L3. Intel provides a total L1 of 192 KB, a total L2 of 2.5 MB, and a shared 6 MB L3. The memory controllers differ, with AMD running dual-channel and Intel running single-channel. The PCIe implementation differs, 12 lanes versus 6 lanes. The integrated graphics are from different vendors, Radeon 860M versus Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core.

The Verdict

The data supports a split decision based on workload type and form factor. For multi-threaded desktop compute, memory bandwidth, and ECC reliability, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G is the stronger candidate. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, dual-channel memory at 89.6 GB/s, and ECC support give it a clear structural edge on paper. The 65-watt TDP and desktop socket confirm that it is built for a powered, stationary environment.

For mobile use and low-power operation, the Intel Core 3 304 is the only defensible choice. Its 15-watt TDP, mobile socket, and mobile market classification make it suitable for battery-powered systems. The recorded benchmark data, which is absent for the AMD part, shows the Intel chip performing at the 68th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 13745. Its nearest rivals are within 1.4% in either direction, which places it in a competitive band despite its modest core count. The single-core scores, particularly 3614 in Passmark and 1765 in Cinebench R23, indicate solid per-thread performance.

The launch MSRP of $309 for the Intel chip is the only pricing data available. The AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not a distinguishing factor. The 3 nm Intel process node is smaller than the 4 nm TSMC node used by AMD, but the AMD chip compensates with a larger die at 195 mm² and a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz.

Users requiring a desktop processor with high thread counts, broad memory bandwidth, and ECC support should select the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450G. Users requiring a low-power mobile processor with proven single-thread and multi-thread benchmark results should select the Intel Core 3 304. The absence of benchmark data for the AMD chip means its actual measured performance cannot be verified against the Intel chip's recorded scores. The verdict rests on specification advantages for AMD and measured results plus efficiency for Intel.
