AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Processor U301L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 and the Intel Processor U301L is heavily weighted toward the AMD part, as the Intel chip has no benchmark entries in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 posts an average benchmark score of 40,048 across all recorded tests, while the Intel Processor U301L shows an average score of 0, indicating no measured results are available for comparison.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 delivers strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 18,698 points, and in Cinebench R15 multicore, it reaches 2,842 points. The single-core results are similarly solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 1,992 and Cinebench R15 single-core at 303. Geekbench results show 13,760 in multicore and 2,253 in single-core. These are the only cross-application benchmarks recorded for the AMD part, and with no equivalent Intel scores, the data indicates the AMD processor is the only one with measurable performance in this database.

The Passmark suite provides a broader view of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365. It scores 29,467 in multithread, 3,841 in single-thread, and 3841 in the singlethread test (the database records both spellings with identical values). Integer math hits 101,831, floating point math reaches 62,802, and extended instructions score 25,113. Data compression and encryption results are 354,510 and 18,297, respectively. Random string sorting delivers 39,447, physics scores 1,704, and find prime numbers returns 117.

Because the Intel Processor U301L has no benchmark scores, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The AMD part holds every measurable advantage by default. Its average benchmark score of 40,048 places it in the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the Intel chip sits at the 50th percentile with a zero average score. The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 include the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with an average score of 40,081 (a delta of -0.1%), the Intel Core 5 221E at 40,144 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 270 at 40,246 (-0.5%), and the Intel Core i9-13905H at 40,313 (-0.7%). These deltas show the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is within a fraction of a percent of each of these competitors, indicating it sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The Intel Processor U301L, by contrast, has no rivals listed and no average score, so the database records no basis for direct comparison. The only numeric data for the Intel part is its launch MSRP of $107, which is noted once here and not elaborated further.

The Verdict

From the data alone, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the only processor with recorded benchmark results, so any selection between the two must favor the AMD part for measurable performance. The AMD chip delivers a substantial core and thread count advantage: 10 cores and 20 threads versus 5 cores and 6 threads for the Intel chip. The AMD boost clock of 5.00 GHz far exceeds the Intel boost clock of 2.20 GHz, and the base clock of 2.00 GHz also tops the Intel base of 1.20 GHz.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel Processor U301L uses Raptor Lake on a 10 nm Intel process. The AMD part has 16 MB of L3 cache, whereas the Intel chip has 8 MB shared L3. Both use dual-channel memory, but the AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD integrated graphics, Radeon 880M, is paired with the Ryzen AI 9 365, and the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 64EU.

The TDP figures differ, with the AMD chip rated at 28 watts and the Intel chip at 15 watts. The AMD processor also has more PCIe lanes, 16 versus 8, both Gen 4. In terms of production status, both are active, with the Intel part releasing on 2024-04-07 and the AMD part on 2024-06-30.

For a user selecting strictly on benchmark data, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the clear choice. The Intel Processor U301L has no recorded performance, so no empirical basis exists to recommend it. The AMD chip also carries a higher percentile ranking, 87 versus 50, indicating it outperforms a larger share of the CPUs in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins in every benchmark category where data exists. Multi-threaded workloads benefit from the 10-core, 20-thread configuration, as shown by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18,698 and the Passmark multithread score of 29,467. Single-threaded tasks also favor the AMD part, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2,253 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3,841.

The Passmark data reveals specific strengths. Integer math at 101,831 and floating point math at 62,802 indicate strong arithmetic throughput. Data compression at 354,510 is the highest recorded Passmark score for the AMD chip, suggesting efficiency in compression workloads. Encryption at 18,297 and extended instructions at 25,113 round out the compute profile. Physics at 1,704 and random string sorting at 39,447 add further context for varied task types.

The Intel Processor U301L has no wins in any category because no benchmark results are recorded. Its specifications suggest a lower-power design, with a 15-watt TDP and a 2.20 GHz boost clock, but the database contains no performance data to confirm any advantage. The Intel chip uses Socket 1700, while the AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, so platform compatibility differs, but no benchmark evidence exists to evaluate the Intel chip's real-world behavior.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 also holds a percentile advantage, sitting at 87 versus the Intel chip's 50. The nearest rivals for the AMD part, all within -0.7% delta, include the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, Intel Core 5 221E, AMD Ryzen 9 270, and Intel Core i9-13905H. These close margins indicate the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 performs on par with those established processors, further reinforcing its position.
