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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 across all 11 shared benchmark comparisons. The largest margin appears in the prime number search test, where AMD scores 130 against Intel's 43, a 202.3% advantage. This workload, which stresses integer throughput and branch prediction, favors the AMD part by more than a factor of three.

Physics simulation shows a similar pattern. The AMD processor records 1877 points versus 702 for the Intel Core 5 211E, a 167.4% lead. This test typically relies on multithreaded scaling, and the AMD chip's 12 cores and 24 threads provide substantially more parallel capacity than Intel's 10 cores and 16 threads.

The multithread benchmark confirms the trend. AMD scores 36487, while Intel manages 23833, a 53.1% difference. The extended instructions test shows a 48.1% gap (31969 versus 21592), and integer math delivers 126829 versus 88117, a 43.9% margin. Data compression follows at 33.1% (461650 versus 346757), with encryption close behind at 29% (23132 versus 17938).

Random string sorting, a memory-latency sensitive workload, gives AMD a 42.5% lead (48894 versus 34308). Floating point math is closer but still favors AMD by 20.3% (79887 versus 66402). The narrowest margin is single-thread performance: AMD scores 4301 against Intel's 4006, a 7.4% advantage. Even in this near-competitive test, the AMD architecture holds the edge.

The average benchmark score positions the AMD part at 74496, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Intel's average is 37829, which sits in the 86th percentile. The AMD processor's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (74640, a 0.2% difference), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 9745 (74761, 0.4% ahead), the AMD EPYC 4545P (75373, 1.2% ahead), and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 (75488, 1.3% ahead). Intel's nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 (37804, 0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 (37762, 0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (37904, 0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-14901E (37911, 0.2% ahead).

These rival clusters show that the AMD part competes with high-end desktop and server processors, while the Intel part sits in a mid-range category. The delta percentages also indicate that both processors are tightly grouped with their respective peers, meaning the performance gap between the two is structural rather than an outlier in either unit's sample.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 wins every recorded benchmark category, but the magnitude of the win varies by workload type. The biggest advantages appear in parallel, compute-heavy tasks: prime number search (202.3%), physics (167.4%), and multithread (53.1%). These results point to workloads that scale with core count and thread count, where AMD's 12 cores and 24 threads outperform Intel's 10 cores and 16 threads.

The extended instructions test (48.1%) and integer math (43.9%) also favor AMD strongly. These are general-purpose compute tests that benefit from the Zen 5 architecture's instruction handling and per-core efficiency. Data compression (33.1%) and random string sorting (42.5%) show AMD's advantage in memory throughput and cache management, despite both platforms using dual-channel memory.

Encryption (29%) is another AMD win, reflecting the newer 4 nm process node's efficiency in cryptographic workloads. Floating point math (20.3%) shows a moderate gap, while single-thread performance (7.4%) is the closest contest. For workloads that depend primarily on single-core speed, the two processors are relatively similar, but AMD still holds the lead.

The Intel Core 5 211E does not win any benchmark category in the recorded data. Its strengths, if any, would have to be inferred from its higher base clock of 2.70 GHz versus AMD's 2.00 GHz, but the benchmark results do not translate that clock advantage into any test victory. The Intel part also supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, a feature the AMD part lacks (it uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes), but this does not appear in the CPU benchmark scores.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core 5 211E uses the Bartlett Lake codename in the Core 5 generation, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm².

Core configuration differs significantly. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while Intel provides 10 cores and 16 threads. Both share the same L1 cache size per core at 80 KB, but the L2 cache differs: AMD uses 1 MB per core, Intel uses 2 MB per core. The L3 cache also differs, with AMD offering 16 MB total and Intel offering 20 MB shared.

The base clock favors Intel at 2.70 GHz versus AMD's 2.00 GHz, but the boost clock favors AMD at 5.20 GHz versus Intel's 4.90 GHz. The thermal design power (TDP) shows a major split: AMD is rated at 28 watts, while Intel is rated at 65 watts. This means the AMD part delivers higher benchmark scores while drawing a lower thermal envelope, an efficiency advantage that the data supports.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but AMD's memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s versus Intel's 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. The PCIe implementation differs: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD includes the Radeon 890M, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is classified as a mobile processor, while the Intel part is a desktop processor. Release dates differ, with AMD listed as 2026-01-04 and Intel as 2025-01-12. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221; the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 is the stronger processor in every recorded benchmark. Its 12-core, 24-thread configuration, combined with a 4 nm process and 5.20 GHz boost clock, delivers scores that place it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 211E, with 10 cores, 16 threads, a 10 nm process, and a 4.90 GHz boost clock, sits in the 86th percentile.

The AMD part's closest rivals are high-end desktop and server chips like the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (0.2% difference) and the AMD EPYC 4545P (1.2% difference). The Intel part's closest rivals are mid-range mobile and desktop processors like the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 (0.2% difference) and the Intel Core i9-14901E (0.2% difference). This placement shows that the two processors are not competing in the same performance tier.

For workloads that require heavy multithreading, physics simulation, prime number search, or extended instruction sets, the AMD processor is the clear choice based on the recorded margins. For single-threaded tasks, the AMD part still leads, but the gap narrows to 7.4%. The Intel part's higher base clock and larger L2 and L3 caches do not translate into benchmark wins.

The AMD processor also operates at a lower TDP (28 watts versus 65 watts) while delivering higher scores, which indicates better performance per watt. The Intel part's advantages are limited to platform features such as PCIe Gen 5 support and DDR4 compatibility, which are not reflected in the CPU benchmark data. Users selecting a processor strictly on the recorded CPU performance metrics should choose the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475.
