Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is based on Zen 5, specifically the Gorgon Point codename, and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Processor 300 is based on Raptor Lake, with the Raptor Lake-S codename, and belongs to the Intel Processor generation. These are not minor tweaks; they represent different design philosophies for different market segments.

The AMD part uses a 4 nm process node manufactured by TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The die size reflects this gap: the AMD processor has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel processor is 163 mm². The AMD chip integrates 12 cores and 24 threads, whereas the Intel chip has just 2 cores and 4 threads. Cache structures also differ. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus, and the database records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. The integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses a Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 710.

The socket and market segment separate the two further. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 uses AMD Socket FP8 and is classified as a mobile processor. The Intel Processor 300 uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified as a desktop processor. The power envelope also differs: the AMD part has a TDP of 28, while the Intel part has a TDP of 46. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both are listed as active in production. The release dates differ as well, with the Intel part dated 2024-01-07 and the AMD part dated 2025-12-31.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is the stronger processor by a wide margin, based on core count, thread count, cache size, and benchmark scores. It has 12 cores versus 2, 24 threads versus 4, and a larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 6 MB). Its average benchmark score of 58826 places it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 9645 (average score 58916, delta -0.2%), the Intel Xeon w5-2545 (average score 58504, delta 0.5%), the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D (average score 58386, delta 0.8%), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M (average score 58323, delta 0.9%). These rivals are all within roughly one percent of the AMD part, indicating that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 competes with high-end workstation and server processors in overall average score.

The Intel Processor 300 has no benchmark records in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile is 50, which is the median position. Without recorded scores, the database cannot quantify its performance relative to the AMD part. The verdict must rely on the specification differences. For workloads that scale with core count, threads, and cache, the AMD processor is the only viable choice. For a desktop processor with a lower core count and a higher TDP, the Intel part may fit a specific niche, but the data does not show any performance advantage.

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between the two, and the wins count is 0 for both. This means the comparison rests on the AMD processor’s recorded benchmark suite and the Intel processor’s absence of records. The AMD part delivers measurable results across multiple tests; the Intel part delivers none.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Processor 300 has 2 cores and 4 threads. The base clock is 2.00 GHz for the AMD part and 3.90 GHz for the Intel part. The AMD processor has a boost clock of 5.20 GHz; the Intel processor has no boost clock listed. The TDP is 28 for the AMD part and 46 for the Intel part.

The socket differs: AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel Socket 1700. The architecture differs: Zen 5 versus Raptor Lake. The codename differs: Gorgon Point versus Raptor Lake-S. The generation differs: Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c) versus Intel Processor (Raptor Lake). The process node differs: 4 nm versus 10 nm. The foundry differs: TSMC versus Intel. The die size differs: 233 mm² versus 163 mm².

Cache sizes differ in L2 and L3. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. The Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 6 MB of shared L3. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core. Memory support differs: the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel part has no memory bandwidth recorded.

Market segment differs: mobile versus desktop. Release dates differ: 2025-12-31 for the AMD part and 2024-01-07 for the Intel part. The part numbers differ: 100-000001936 for AMD and SRN3J for Intel. The Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $82, which is listed once here.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The wins count is 0 for both. This means a side-by-side comparison of the same test cannot be drawn from the recorded data. However, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 has a full benchmark suite, and those scores can be interpreted in absolute terms.

In Cinebench R15, the AMD processor scores 3518 in multicore and 317 in singlecore. In Cinebench R23, it scores 23491.5 in multicore and 2066 in singlecore. These results indicate a strong multi-threaded performance profile. The singlecore scores are lower relative to the multicore scores, which is typical for a high-core-count mobile part.

In Passmark tests, the AMD processor shows a wide range. Data compression scores 484584, data encryption scores 23746, extended instructions scores 34365, find prime numbers scores 125, floating point math scores 81320, integer math scores 130171, multithread scores 37010, physics scores 1851, random string sorting scores 51576, and single thread scores 4124. The singlethread score is also listed as 4124, matching the single thread test. These numbers show that the AMD processor handles both integer and floating point workloads, with a particularly high data compression score.

The Intel Processor 300 has no scores in any of these tests. The database records no Cinebench results and no Passmark results for the Intel part. Without these measurements, a head-to-head numerical comparison is impossible. The only comparative data comes from the AMD processor’s nearest rivals, none of which is the Intel Processor 300.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 wins in every category where data exists. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, which gives it a decisive advantage in multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, video encoding, and scientific computation. Its 16 MB of L3 cache supports larger working sets. Its recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s indicates a high-speed memory subsystem. Its benchmark scores confirm this: the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23491.5 and the Passmark multithread score of 37010 are strong results for a mobile processor. The 92nd percentile ranking places it above the vast majority of CPUs in the database.

The Intel Processor 300 has no recorded benchmark wins. It does have a higher base clock (3.90 GHz versus 2.00 GHz), which could benefit lightly threaded tasks that rely on clock speed rather than core count. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes is a generation ahead of the AMD part’s PCIe Gen 4, which could matter for certain desktop expansion cards. Its smaller die size (163 mm² versus 233 mm²) suggests a simpler design. Its launch MSRP of $82 is listed in the database, but the data does not connect that price to any performance outcome.

For a user choosing between these two, the database supports only one direction: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is the higher-performing processor by every measured metric. The Intel Processor 300 offers a desktop socket, a higher base clock, PCIe Gen 5, and a lower core count, but no benchmark evidence of competitive performance. The AMD part is the choice for multi-threaded workloads and high-end mobile computing. The Intel part is a desktop processor with a minimal core configuration, and the data cannot verify any advantage beyond its specifications.
