AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between the AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 and the Intel Core 7 350. Across all 11 shared benchmark tests, the AMD processor wins every single matchup. The most dramatic difference appears in integer math, where the AMD part scores 107,173 against Intel's 33,734, a 217.7% advantage. This is the largest delta in the entire comparison and reflects the substantial difference in core count and threading capabilities between the two mobile processors.

Data compression results follow a similar pattern. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 delivers a score of 385,174, which is 169.1% higher than the Intel Core 7 350's 143,123. Random string sorting also shows a massive gap, with AMD at 40,860 and Intel at 17,238, a 137% difference. These workloads scale well with additional cores and threads, and the AMD processor has 10 cores and 20 threads versus Intel's 6 cores and 6 threads.

Extended instruction performance favors AMD by 119.5%. The Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 records 26,441 points, while the Core 7 350 manages only 12,045. Multithread performance, a key indicator for general productivity workloads, shows AMD at 31,485 against Intel's 15,170, a 107.5% advantage. The AMD chip effectively doubles the multithread throughput of the Intel part in this test.

Floating point math results show AMD ahead by 56.1%, scoring 66,824 versus 42,809. Physics computations follow with a 48.9% lead for AMD, 1,747 to 1,173. Data encryption performance gives AMD a 76.6% edge, 19,308 to 10,933. Prime number finding, a test that often reflects per-core efficiency, is closer but still favors AMD by 17.8%, 126 to 107.

The single-thread results are the tightest comparison in the entire dataset. AMD scores 4,168 and Intel scores 4,100, a difference of just 1.7%. This indicates that the two processors have broadly comparable per-core performance, despite the AMD chip's higher 5.00 GHz boost clock versus Intel's 4.80 GHz. The near parity in single-thread scores means that the massive overall performance gap comes almost entirely from the AMD processor's additional cores and threads rather than from superior core efficiency.

The average benchmark score confirms the overall picture. AMD's Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 averages 62,498 across its recorded benchmarks, while the Intel Core 7 350 averages 17,779. The AMD processor sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel chip sits in the 71st percentile. The Intel part's closest rivals include the Intel Core 5 221TE at a -0.5% delta, the AMD EPYC 9374F at 0.5%, the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT at -0.6%, and the Intel Core 5 120U at -0.7%. The AMD part's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX at -0.4%, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 at -0.5%, the Intel Core i7-13790F at -0.9%, and the Intel Core i9-13900KF at 1.1%.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 outperforms the Intel Core 7 350 in every single measured benchmark. The largest wins come in multi-threaded and parallel workloads, where AMD's 10 cores and 20 threads overwhelm Intel's 6 cores and 6 threads. Anyone whose workloads involve data compression, encryption, extended instruction sets, integer math, floating point math, or multithread rendering will see substantially higher performance from the AMD processor.

The Intel Core 7 350 does offer one meaningful advantage in the recorded data: power consumption. Intel's chip has a 15 W TDP, while the AMD processor is rated at 28 W. This makes the Intel part more suitable for fanless or ultra-low-power designs, where the thermal envelope is the primary constraint. The Intel chip also delivers competitive single-thread performance, trailing the AMD part by only 1.7% in that specific test, so lightly threaded tasks will feel similar on both platforms.

The Intel Core 7 350 carries a launch MSRP of $469. The AMD processor has no recorded launch MSRP.

For a user prioritizing raw compute throughput, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 is the clear choice based on the benchmark evidence. For a user prioritizing the lowest possible power draw and smaller physical footprint, the Intel Core 7 350 has the advantage in the recorded specifications. The 71st percentile ranking for the Intel part and the 93rd percentile ranking for the AMD part summarize the overall positioning of these two mobile processors.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 uses the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its codename is Gorgon Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The die size is recorded at 233 mm².

The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. No architecture designation is recorded in the database for the Intel part, and no die size is listed.

Cache configurations differ significantly between the two processors. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 and L2 caches on the Intel part may help compensate for its smaller L3 pool in certain access patterns, but the AMD part's larger total cache hierarchy supports its greater core count.

The integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses the Radeon 890M, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The database does not include direct graphics benchmark comparisons between these two iGPUs, so the relative graphics performance cannot be quantified from the recorded data.

Both processors are mobile parts with active production status. The AMD part was released on January 4, 2026, and the Intel part on April 15, 2026. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the most fundamental specification difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 provides 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel Core 7 350 provides 6 cores and 6 threads. The Intel part has no hyperthreading support in the recorded specifications.

Clock speeds differ as well. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The AMD chip holds a 0.20 GHz advantage in boost clocks and a 0.50 GHz advantage at base.

Thermal design power is another point of distinction. The AMD part is rated at 28 W, while the Intel part is rated at 15 W. This 13 W difference is substantial for mobile designs and directly impacts cooling requirements and battery life expectations.

Memory support shows both processors accepting DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but the memory bus differs. The AMD chip uses dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel chip uses single-channel memory with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. This bandwidth difference contributes to the performance gaps observed in memory-sensitive workloads.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD processor offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor offers Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). The AMD part provides more than double the PCIe lane count.

The sockets are incompatible. AMD uses Socket FP8, while Intel uses BGA 1516. The part numbers differ as well: 100-000001862 for AMD and SAE3F for Intel. Neither processor supports ECC memory.
