AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile for the Intel Core 5 211TE, while the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no individual benchmark scores listed. This asymmetry limits direct score-to-score comparisons for the AMD part. However, the Intel processor's results can be interpreted against its nearest rivals in the database, which provides context for where the Core 5 211TE stands.

The Intel Core 5 211TE delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 12201 points. Its single-core R23 result is 1722 points. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 5124, with a single-core score of 723. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core result of 1229 and a single-core score of 173. These results indicate a processor that scales well across thread counts, with the multi-core scores being roughly seven times the single-core figures in each Cinebench iteration.

PassMark results for the Intel part show a single-thread score of 1408 and a multithread score of 11685. The integer math test returns 33991 points, while floating-point math reaches 26150. Data compression scores 133434, and data encryption achieves 7231. Extended instructions score 8615, find prime numbers returns 72, random string sorting hits 14838, and the physics test delivers 1278.

The average benchmark score for the Intel Core 5 211TE is 15370. Its percentile versus all CPUs in the database is 69. The nearest rivals in the database include the AMD EPYC 7543 with an average score of 15477, which is 0.7% higher than the Core 5 211TE. The AMD EPYC 7702P scores 15130, putting it 1.6% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 7440U scores 15682, which is 2% higher. The Intel Core i3-1315U scores 15022, landing 2.3% lower. These delta percentages show that the Core 5 211TE sits in a tight cluster with server-class and mobile processors, within roughly two percentage points of each rival.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 lacks benchmark entries in the database, the head-to-head comparison cannot be quantified with recorded scores. The database records zero wins for each processor in head-to-head tests. The AMD part's percentile versus all CPUs is 50, with an average benchmark score of 0, confirming the absence of measured performance data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 5 211TE is built on the Bartlett Lake codename within the Core 5 generation, using a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm².

Core and thread configurations differ substantially. The AMD part provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel part offers 10 cores and 16 threads. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel processor runs at a base clock of 1.70 GHz and boosts to 4.80 GHz. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 45 watts, indicating different thermal envelopes for their respective market segments.

Cache hierarchies show distinct approaches. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part uses 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 on the Intel side may benefit workloads with frequent data sharing across cores, while the AMD design leans on higher per-core L2 capacity.

Memory support separates the two clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 211TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, with a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The AMD part does not support ECC memory, while the Intel part does support ECC, a notable difference for reliability-sensitive deployments.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, offering higher bandwidth for attached devices. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses the Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730.

Socket and form factor details reinforce the market split. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8 and is classified as a mobile part. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified as a desktop part. The AMD part was released on 2025-12-31, while the Intel part was released on 2025-01-12. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211TE has full benchmark coverage in the database, allowing for concrete statements about its strengths. Its multi-core performance, as measured by Cinebench R23 at 12201 points, places it slightly above the AMD EPYC 7702P in the nearest rival group, which averages 15130. The Core 5 211TE also outperforms the Intel Core i3-1315U by 2.3% in average score, confirming that it holds a measurable edge over lower-tier mobile parts.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 cannot be assigned specific wins from the recorded data because no benchmark scores exist for it. Its architectural specifications, however, suggest certain advantages. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz compared to the Intel part's 4.80 GHz indicates potential single-thread capability, though no measured score confirms this. The memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s suggests an advantage in memory-intensive workloads, again unverified by benchmarks. The lower TDP of 28 watts versus 45 watts implies greater power efficiency, though the database does not include power measurements.

For the Intel part, the PassMark physics score of 1278 and the multithread score of 11685 indicate strong throughput in parallel workloads. The integer math result of 33991 and floating-point result of 26150 show balanced arithmetic performance. The data compression score of 133434 is particularly high, suggesting efficient handling of compression tasks. The single-thread score of 1408, while lower than the multithread score, still positions the processor competitively among its nearest rivals.

The ECC memory support on the Intel part gives it a clear advantage in environments where error correction is mandatory, such as entry-level servers or workstations. The Gen 5 PCIe lanes on the Intel part provide double the bandwidth of the AMD part's Gen 4 lanes, which matters for storage or expansion cards that exploit PCIe 5.0. The Intel part's 20 MB of shared L3 cache exceeds the AMD part's 16 MB, potentially aiding workloads with large working sets that fit in cache.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear choice for users who require verified benchmark results. The Intel Core 5 211TE has extensive measurements across Cinebench and PassMark suites, with an average score of 15370 and a 69th percentile ranking. It sits within 2.3% of the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U and within 2% of the AMD EPYC 7543, confirming that it delivers competitive performance in its class. The ECC memory support and PCIe Gen 5 lanes further distinguish it for professional and server-adjacent use cases.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, by contrast, has no benchmark scores in the database. Its architectural specifications, including 12 cores, 24 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost clock, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, indicate strong theoretical capability. The 4 nm process at TSMC and 28 watt TDP suggest superior power efficiency for mobile deployments. However, without recorded measurements, the database cannot confirm its real-world performance.

For desktop users needing a validated processor with ECC support and PCIe Gen 5, the Intel Core 5 211TE is the only option with data backing its performance. For mobile users prioritizing core count and memory bandwidth, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 offers compelling specifications, but the absence of benchmark results means its actual performance remains unverified in the database. The choice hinges on whether measured results or architectural potential carry more weight. The database currently supports only the Intel part with empirical evidence.
