AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 vs Intel Processor U300L Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data divides these two processors cleanly. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 holds every recorded benchmark win in the database. It posts scores across Cinebench R15, Cinebench R23, and the Passmark suite. The Intel Processor U300L has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so there is no direct measurement data for comparison. The AMD part sits at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile gap alone indicates the AMD processor operates in a different performance class entirely.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 delivers 12 cores and 24 threads, which puts it far ahead in heavily threaded workloads. The Intel Processor U300L offers 5 cores and 6 threads, a configuration that targets light mobile tasks rather than sustained multi-core work. The Passmark multithread score of 36402 for the AMD chip confirms strong parallel performance. The data does not include a comparable multithread score for the Intel part, but the core and thread count difference points to an obvious gap in threaded applications.

Single-thread performance also favors AMD. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 records a Passmark single-thread score of 4050 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2054. The Intel part has no recorded scores in these tests. The AMD chip boosts to 5.20 GHz, while the Intel chip boosts to 4.40 GHz, so the frequency advantage in the database aligns with the measured single-thread lead.

The Intel Processor U300L does hold advantages in other areas, though these are not benchmark wins. It carries a 15 W TDP versus the AMD chip's 28 W TDP, so it targets lower-power designs. It supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which gives platform flexibility. It also uses the LGA 1700 socket, a widely used desktop-style socket, whereas the AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile-focused BGA socket. These differences matter for system design, but they are not measured performance wins.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 uses Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename. It belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The silicon is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The cache layout includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. Memory support covers DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. The integrated graphics are Radeon 890M. The platform uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes.

The Intel Processor U300L uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-PS codename. It belongs to the Intel Processor generation built on Raptor Lake. The process node is 10 nm at Intel. The cache configuration is different: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, though the database lists no memory bandwidth figure. ECC memory is not supported. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 48EU. The platform uses PCIe Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes.

The core count difference is stark. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads. Intel provides 5 cores and 6 threads. The thread count gap is especially large: the AMD chip offers four times the threads. The base clock on the AMD chip is 2.00 GHz versus 1.20 GHz on the Intel chip. The boost clock is 5.20 GHz versus 4.40 GHz. The AMD part uses a larger 28 W TDP envelope, while the Intel part fits into 15 W.

The L3 cache difference is also significant. AMD has 16 MB, Intel has 8 MB. L2 per core is higher on the Intel side at 1.25 MB per core versus 1 MB per core, but the total L2 depends on core count. The AMD chip's 12 cores with 1 MB each produce 12 MB of total L2, while the Intel chip's 5 cores with 1.25 MB each produce 6.25 MB. The AMD part clearly carries more total cache.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The Intel Processor U300L has an empty benchmark array, so no direct score comparisons exist. The analysis must rely on the AMD chip's recorded scores and the Intel chip's specification profile.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 records a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 19095 and a single-core score of 2054. In Cinebench R15, it posts 3234 multicore and 313 single-core. The Passmark suite shows 127573 in integer math, 80023 in floating point math, 32803 in extended instructions, 461195 in data compression, 22929 in data encryption, 136 in find prime numbers, 48824 in random string sorting, 1915 in physics, and 36402 in multithread. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 56306.

The nearest rivals for the AMD chip provide context. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 scores 56273 on average, a delta of 0.1% behind the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX scores 56555, a delta of -0.4% relative to the reviewed part, meaning the Threadripper is slightly ahead. The Intel Core i9-14900HX scores 56004, a delta of 0.5%, so the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 is ahead by half a percent. The Intel Core 7 253PQE scores 55919, a delta of 0.7%, putting the AMD chip ahead by nearly a full percent.

These deltas show that the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 sits in a tight performance band near high-end desktop and mobile parts. The Ryzen AI Max 390 is essentially a tie. The Threadripper PRO 3955WX is marginally faster. The Intel Core i9-14900HX and Core 7 253PQE are slightly slower on average. None of these rivals represent a large gap in either direction, which indicates the AMD part is well positioned in its performance class.

The Intel Processor U300L has no nearest rivals listed and no average benchmark score. Its percentile of 50 places it at the median of the database. Without recorded scores, the database provides no measured evidence of its performance relative to the AMD chip.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 as the stronger processor by a wide margin. It holds every benchmark score in the database, and those scores place it at the 92nd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Processor U300L sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores. Any user prioritizing measured performance should select the AMD part.

The AMD chip offers 12 cores and 24 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost clock, 16 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It supports ECC memory and uses a Radeon 890M integrated GPU. It launches in a higher power envelope at 28 W, which is appropriate for the performance it delivers. The Intel part offers 5 cores and 6 threads, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, 8 MB of L3 cache, and support for both DDR4 and DDR5. It consumes only 15 W.

The Intel Processor U300L makes sense only for designs that prioritize low power consumption and platform flexibility over performance. Its 15 W TDP is nearly half the AMD chip's 28 W TDP. It supports DDR4 memory, which can lower platform cost in systems that do not need DDR5. It uses the LGA 1700 socket, which is a common desktop socket. The AMD part uses a mobile FP8 socket, so it is not a drop-in upgrade path for existing LGA 1700 boards.

The database indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 is a high-performance mobile processor that competes with parts like the Ryzen AI Max 390 and the Threadripper PRO 3955WX. The Intel Processor U300L is a low-power mobile processor with no measured benchmark presence. For workloads that need heavy multi-threading, fast single-thread response, or large cache, the AMD part is the clear choice. For constrained thermal budgets or legacy DDR4 platforms, the Intel part offers a lighter footprint.
