AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 vs Intel Processor N150 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a decisive split between these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 is a high-performance, high-core-count part designed for demanding parallel workloads, while the Intel Processor N150 is a low-power, low-core-count chip aimed at basic, energy-efficient tasks. The AMD part wins all four head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with its most significant lead in multi-threaded tests. The Intel N150, with its 6 W TDP and 4-core/4-thread configuration, is clearly positioned for fanless or ultra-low-power systems where absolute performance is secondary to power draw. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, a 12-core/24-thread processor in a 28 W envelope, is for users who need strong multi-tasking and sustained compute throughput. The data shows no scenario in the recorded benchmarks where the Intel part beats the AMD part, so the choice is determined by whether the workload requires the AMD part's capabilities at all.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 uses the Zen 5 architecture, specifically a hybrid configuration of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, under the codename Gorgon Point. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Processor N150 uses the Twin Lake architecture, a successor to Alder Lake-N, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel.

The AMD part's cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. The Intel part has 96 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of shared L2, and 6 MB of shared L3. The AMD part's per-core L2 design is standard for high-end Zen parts, while Intel's shared L2 and smaller L3 reflect a simpler, lower-cost design.

Memory support also differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory, yielding a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5, but only single-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 3 with 9 lanes (CPU only).

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD part uses the Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses the UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part's die size is recorded at 233 mm², while the Intel part's die size is not recorded in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records four direct comparisons between the two processors, all in Cinebench tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 wins every test, and the margins are substantial.

In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the AMD part scores 3234 against 422.5 for the Intel N150. That is a 665.4% advantage. This test is heavily reliant on core count and thread count, and the AMD part's 12 cores and 24 threads overwhelm the Intel part's 4 cores and 4 threads.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the AMD part scores 19095 against 2590.5, a delta of 637.1%. The absolute score difference is over 16,500 points, which reflects the AMD part's ability to sustain high throughput across many threads.

Single-core results are closer but still one-sided. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the AMD part scores 313 versus 153.15 for the Intel part, a 104.4% lead. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the AMD part scores 2054 versus 935, a 119.7% lead. The AMD part's higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz, compared to 3.60 GHz for the Intel part, contributes to this advantage, as does the Zen 5 architecture's stronger per-core instructions per clock.

The win count is 4 for the AMD part and 0 for the Intel part. The data does not include any test where the Intel N150 closes the gap to a competitive margin.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 wins in every recorded benchmark category. Its largest leads are in multi-core tests, where its 12-core/24-thread configuration and dual-channel memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s provide a clear advantage for parallel workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19095 places it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, a strong indicator of sustained multi-threaded performance. The 16 MB L3 cache and per-core L2 of 1 MB also help with data-heavy tasks.

The Intel Processor N150 has no benchmark wins in the database. Its advantage is not in performance but in power efficiency. With a TDP of 6 W, it draws far less power than the AMD part's 28 W. This makes it suitable for systems where thermal output and battery life are the primary constraints, such as compact fanless laptops or industrial embedded devices. Its 4-core/4-thread design and 10 nm process are aimed at basic tasks like web browsing, document editing, and light media playback. The single-channel memory bus and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth are consistent with this low-intensity role.

The AMD part's release date is 2026-01-04, while the Intel part was released on 2024-11-19, so the Intel part is an earlier product. The AMD part also includes ECC memory support, which the Intel part lacks, making it the more robust choice for workstation or server-adjacent use cases. The AMD part's Radeon 890M integrated graphics are a higher-tier solution than the Intel UHD Graphics 730, though the database does not include graphics benchmarks.

In summary, the data supports a clear split: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 is for compute-heavy mobile workloads, and the Intel Processor N150 is for ultra-low-power systems where raw performance is not the priority. The 92nd versus 28th percentile standings quantify the overall performance hierarchy.
