The Intel Core 7 360 matches the Intel Core i3-13100 exactly with a 0% delta, and sits 0.4% above the Intel Core 3 305.

For workloads that use many threads, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 is the clear choice. Its 10 cores and 20 threads deliver multi-core scores that range from 28.1% to 94.5% higher than the Intel Core 7 360 across Cinebench and PassMark tests. The Intel Core 7 360, with 6 cores and 6 threads, wins only in single-threaded PassMark tests, where it scores 4274 versus 3750, a 12.3% advantage. The data indicates the AMD part is for users who need parallel throughput, while the Intel part serves tasks that rely on a single fast thread.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 uses the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process from TSMC. Its codename is Gorgon Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The die size measures 233 mm². The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, belongs to the Core 5 generation, and is built on a 3 nm process from Intel. The AMD part has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 6 threads, so the AMD chip supports simultaneous multithreading and the Intel chip does not.

Cache organization differs substantially. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Core 7 360 has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 and L2 on the Intel part may help its single-thread performance, but the AMD part has more total L3 cache for multi-core workloads.

Memory access also differs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 uses dual-channel memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel Core 7 360 uses single-channel memory with 59.7 GB/s. Both support DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The AMD part offers PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), whereas the Intel part offers PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). The AMD integrated graphics is the Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Neither CPU supports ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 dominates multi-threaded and parallel workloads. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 2672.5 versus 1374, a 94.5% lead. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 17462.5 versus 13634, a 28.1% lead. PassMark integer math shows the largest gap: 99156 versus 34238, a 189.6% advantage. Data compression also favors AMD heavily, 349463 versus 142877, a 144.6% delta. Random string sorting follows with 37379 versus 17636, an 111.9% lead. The AMD part also wins extended instructions by 99.9%, multithread by 86.5%, encryption by 57.7%, physics by 39.2%, floating point math by 38.8%, and Cinebench R15 single-core by 28%. Prime number finding is close, with AMD ahead by just 3.3%.

The Intel Core 7 360 wins two tests, both single-thread PassMark runs. It scores 4274 versus 3750, a 12.3% advantage. This indicates the Intel core has a higher peak single-thread throughput in PassMark's measurement, despite its lower base clock of 1.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz and lower boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 5.00 GHz. The Intel part also wins in Cinebench R23 single-core by a small margin of 3.8%, though the head-to-head table records that as an AMD win because the AMD score of 1996.5 exceeds the Intel score of 1924.

For users running typical productivity suites or light workloads, the Intel part's single-thread PassMark win could translate to snappier response in serial tasks. For rendering, compilation, or data processing, the AMD part's multi-core lead is decisive.
