AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents a one-sided comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 wins all 11 recorded head-to-head tests against the Intel Core 3 100HL. There are no benchmark categories where the Intel part records a victory.

The AMD processor shows its largest advantages in compute-heavy workloads. The widest margins appear in prime number finding, extended instruction workloads, and data compression. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 scores 130 in the prime number test versus 48 for the Intel, a 170.8% advantage. Extended instructions show a 156.5% lead, and data compression shows a 128.3% lead.

The single-thread gap is comparatively narrow. The AMD part scores 4301 in single-threaded PassMark testing, while the Intel scores 3735, a 15.2% difference. This suggests the Intel part remains competitive in lightly threaded tasks, though it still trails.

The multithreaded results show a substantial divide. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 delivers a PassMark multithread score of 36487 against 17586 for the Core 3 100HL, a 107.5% advantage. Physics simulation shows a similar pattern: 1877 versus 928, a 102.3% lead for AMD.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture. The AMD processor averages 74496 across its recorded tests, while the Intel averages 23545. The AMD part sits at the 94th percentile among all CPUs, the Intel at the 76th percentile.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 outperforms the Intel Core 3 100HL in every measured category. Anyone selecting between these two based strictly on benchmark results would choose the AMD part for any workload.

The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 belongs to a different performance tier. Its average benchmark score places it near the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, which records an average score of 74640 with a delta of -0.2%. The Intel Core 3 100HL, by contrast, sits near the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U, which records 23709 with a delta of -0.7%.

The Intel part may still serve adequately for basic desktop tasks. Its single-thread score of 3735 indicates reasonable responsiveness for everyday applications. However, the data shows no scenario where the Intel part wins or even ties.

For multi-core rendering, compilation, data processing, or any parallel workload, the AMD part is the only choice supported by the measurements. The 24 threads of the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 versus 12 threads on the Intel Core 3 100HL produce a consistent and large performance gap.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single margin appears in the prime number finding test. The AMD scores 130, the Intel scores 48, and the delta reaches 170.8%. This test measures raw integer throughput in a tightly looped workload, and the AMD architecture handles it far more efficiently.

Extended instructions show the second-largest gap. The AMD part scores 31969 against 12463, a 156.5% delta. This workload exercises SIMD and specialized instruction paths, where the Zen 5 design demonstrates a clear advantage.

Data compression shows a 128.3% delta, with scores of 461650 for AMD and 202225 for Intel. This test benefits from both high memory bandwidth and strong integer performance. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a rated bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 without a listed bandwidth figure.

Integer math shows a 125.2% delta: 126829 versus 56308. Random string sorting shows a 110.5% delta: 48894 versus 23223. Multithreaded performance shows a 107.5% delta: 36487 versus 17586. Physics simulation shows a 102.3% delta: 1877 versus 928.

Floating point math shows an 89.7% delta: 79887 versus 42108. Data encryption shows a 93.3% delta: 23132 versus 11964. These results confirm that the AMD advantage extends across integer, floating point, encryption, and memory-intensive workloads.

The narrowest margin is single-thread performance at 15.2%. The AMD scores 4301, the Intel scores 3735. This remains a meaningful gap, but it is the only category where the Intel part comes within a reasonable distance.
