AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 and the Intel Core 5 223PQE. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and neither processor has recorded wins in a direct matchup. However, the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 has a substantial set of standalone benchmark scores, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes a numeric side-by-side comparison impossible; the available data allows only a review of the AMD part's absolute performance and its position among similarly scoring processors.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 achieves an average benchmark score of 43326, placing it at the 88th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465, scores 43431, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 9 386H scores 43210, 0.3% lower than the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385. The AMD Ryzen 7 170 scores 43689, 0.8% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 scores 43704, 0.9% higher. The data shows the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 sits in a tightly packed cluster of processors; the spread between its lowest rival and highest rival is only about 1.1%.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 scores 28424 points, while its single-core result is 4012 points. Cinebench R20 multi-core reaches 11938 points, and single-core reaches 1685 points. Cinebench R15 multi-core is 2865 points, with single-core at 404 points. These results indicate a strong multi-threaded showing for a mobile processor, with the multi-core to single-core ratio in R23 at approximately 7.1 to 1.

PassMark results reinforce the multi-threaded strength. The multi-thread score is 32075, while single-thread is 3995. Integer math scores 105056, floating point math scores 69580, and extended instructions score 31442. Data encryption scores 18978, data compression scores 379448, and random string sorting scores 40784. Physics scores 1711, and find prime numbers scores 157.

Because the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmarks, its percentile ranking of 50 reflects an absence of data rather than a measured performance level. The average benchmark score of 0 likewise indicates no test results are available. The database therefore cannot show where the Intel part wins or loses against the AMD part; only the AMD processor's own performance can be characterized.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Halo codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700.

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD part has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part carries a TDP of 125, while the AMD part carries a TDP of 55. The recorded TDP figures indicate the Intel part is rated for substantially higher power.

Cache layouts differ. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 32 MB of shared L3. The Intel part uses 2 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. The AMD part therefore has more total L3, while the Intel part has more L2 per core.

Memory support differs significantly. The AMD part supports LPDDR5X with a quad-channel memory bus and 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel memory bus and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. The AMD part's memory bandwidth is roughly 2.9 times the Intel part's figure.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 8050S, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD part's production status is Active, and it was released on 2025-01-05. The Intel part's production status is also Active, with a release date of 2026-03-08. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is 100-000001422, and the Intel part number is SA4QC.

Where Each One Wins

The available data supports conclusions only for the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28424 and PassMark multi-thread score of 32075 indicate strong performance in heavily threaded workloads such as rendering, video encoding, and scientific computation. The integer math score of 105056 and floating point math score of 69580 point to solid computational throughput for general productivity and numerical tasks. The data compression score of 379448 suggests efficient handling of archive and storage-related operations.

The AMD part's single-thread performance is also competitive, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 4012 and PassMark single-thread at 3995. These scores indicate responsive behavior in lightly threaded applications, though the processor's multi-core results are the more distinctive feature relative to its single-core results.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark data in the database, so no wins can be attributed to it. Its architectural specifications suggest it targets a different segment: desktop platforms with DDR4 or DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, and a higher 125 TDP. The higher base and boost clocks, 4.00 GHz and 5.50 GHz respectively, indicate potential for strong single-thread performance, but the database contains no measurements to confirm this.

The AMD part's 88th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it clearly above the median. The Intel part's 50th percentile ranking, based on no recorded scores, cannot be interpreted as a measured performance position. The data cannot support a claim that either processor wins in any specific use case over the other.
