Architecture Differences

The two processors differ at the silicon level. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC and uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Halo codename. The Intel Core 5 213PE uses a 10 nm process at Intel and is identified by the Bartlett Lake codename, with no separate microarchitecture listed.

Core counts separate them sharply: 16 cores and 32 threads for the AMD, 8 cores and 16 threads for the Intel. The AMD's L1 cache is 80 KB per core, matching the Intel's L1, but the Intel has a larger L2 at 2 MB per core versus 1 MB per core for the AMD. The AMD answers with a 64 MB shared L3 cache, against 24 MB shared for the Intel.

Memory architecture also diverges. The AMD supports LPDDR5X over a quad-channel interface with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel interface with 76.8 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. The PCIe implementation differs in version: the AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD carries a Radeon 8060S, the Intel a UHD Graphics 730. The AMD is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP11; the Intel is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD's TDP is 55 W, the Intel's is 65 W. The AMD has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz; the Intel has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Release dates are 2025-01-05 for the AMD and 2026-03-08 for the Intel.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The shared benchmark set contains 15 tests, and the AMD wins 13 of them. Its largest margin comes in Passmark extended instructions, where 52067 against 19565 puts it 166.1% ahead. Passmark find prime numbers shows 284 versus 114, a 149.1% lead. Cinebench R15 multi-core gives 5247 versus 2264, a 131.8% lead. Passmark random string sorting is 70150 versus 32027, a 119% lead. Passmark data compression is 639356 versus 298804, a 114% lead. Passmark integer math is 190720 versus 92089, a 107.1% lead. Passmark data encryption is 32840 versus 15916, a 106.3% lead. Passmark physics is 3189 versus 1624, a 96.4% lead. Passmark multithread is 51502 versus 26434, a 94.8% lead. Passmark floating point math is 120533 versus 68587, a 75.7% lead. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 35061 versus 22468, a 56% lead.

The AMD also takes the Passmark single-thread test by a narrow margin: 4078 versus 4060, a 0.4% difference. The Intel's two wins are both single-core Cinebench results. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the Intel scores 3172 against 2012.5, a 36.6% advantage. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the Intel scores 319 against 306, a 4.1% advantage.

The pattern is clear: the AMD dominates every multi-threaded and memory-heavy workload in the shared suite, while the Intel's single-core Cinebench advantage is large in R23 but small in R15. The Passmark single-thread result shows the two effectively tied, so the Intel's Cinebench lead does not carry over to all single-thread workloads.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to different roles for the two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395, with 16 cores, 32 threads, 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and a 95th percentile standing, is the stronger option for multi-threaded throughput and memory-intensive work. Its average benchmark score of 80762 is well above the Intel's 35428, and it wins 13 of the 15 shared tests. The AMD's average sits close to the Intel Xeon 638 at 80723 and the AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX at 81103; the Intel's average sits close to the Intel Core i7-13700T at 35403.

The Intel Core 5 213PE is the single-core Cinebench leader: 3172 versus 2012.5 in R23 and 319 versus 306 in R15. It also has the higher boost clock at 5.20 GHz, a desktop Socket 1700 layout, DDR4 or DDR5 memory support, and PCIe Gen 5. Its launch MSRP is $221.

The data does not show the Intel closing the multi-threaded gap. The AMD leads Cinebench R23 multi-core by 56%, and its Passmark multithread score is 51502 versus 26434. For workloads that scale with thread count, the AMD's 16 cores and 32 threads provide the clear advantage. The data supports the Intel for single-threaded Cinebench-style tasks and desktop Socket 1700 compatibility.
