The AMD part occupies a higher performance tier entirely.
Architecture Differences
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 210H uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-H codename, part of the Core 5 generation from the Raptor Lake Refresh family, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. Die size is listed for the AMD part at 233 mm², while no die size is recorded for the Intel chip.
Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD processor offers 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel processor offers 8 cores and 12 threads. Both chips use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache structure differs: the AMD chip has 1 MB per core, while the Intel chip has 2 MB per core. L3 cache totals also differ, with 16 MB on the AMD side and 12 MB shared on the Intel side.
Memory support distinguishes the two. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 210H supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 8 CPU-only lanes. Neither chip supports ECC memory.
Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part carries the Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a 28 W TDP. The Intel processor has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a 45 W TDP. The sockets are distinct: AMD Socket FP8 for the Ryzen AI 9 365, Intel BGA 1744 for the Core 5 210H. Both chips are locked, neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part was released on 2024-06-30, the Intel part on 2024-12-17.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The multi-core results show a decisive AMD advantage. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 18698 against 11830 for the Intel Core 5 210H, a 58.1% margin. Cinebench R15 multi-core shows a similar pattern: 2842 versus 1757, a 61.8% lead. PassMark Multi-Thread confirms the trend at 29467 versus 18252, a 61.4% difference. PassMark Physics delivers 1704 versus 1040, a 63.8% gap. The AMD chip's extra cores and threads translate directly into these large multi-threaded advantages.
Single-core results are closer but still favor AMD. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 1992 versus 1771, a 12.5% lead. Cinebench R15 single-core shows 303 versus 247, a 22.7% margin. PassMark Single Thread shows 3841 versus 3539, an 8.5% difference. These narrower margins indicate that per-core efficiency is stronger on the AMD side, but the gap is far less dramatic than in multi-threaded workloads.
The largest single delta appears in PassMark Find Prime Numbers, where the AMD chip scores 117 versus 53, a 120.8% advantage. This workload, which stresses integer and mathematical throughput, heavily favors the AMD architecture. PassMark Extended Instructions shows 25113 versus 13370, an 87.8% lead, indicating a substantial advantage in SIMD and instruction-heavy code. PassMark Random String Sorting delivers 39447 versus 23451, a 68.2% margin. PassMark Integer Math shows 101831 versus 61503, a 65.6% lead, while PassMark Data Compression records 354510 versus 217805, a 62.8% difference. PassMark Data Encryption shows 18297 versus 12187, a 50.1% lead. PassMark Floating Point Math is the narrowest of the PassMark suite at 62802 versus 45057, a 39.4% margin, but still a clear AMD win.
