AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core 3 N350 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 contains no benchmark scores, while the Intel Core 3 N350 has a full suite of measurements. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible. The AMD processor's average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it holds a 50th percentile position across all CPUs. The Intel Core 3 N350, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 9903 and sits at the 66th percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-3770 (avg score 9706, 2% slower), the Intel Core i5-1035G1 (avg score 9684, 2.3% slower), the AMD EPYC 7F52 (avg score 10159, 2.5% faster), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 (avg score 10230, 3.2% faster).

Focusing on the Intel Core 3 N350's recorded scores, the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 6274 and single-core result of 885 indicate a modest performance envelope. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 2635 and single-core is 371. The R15 generation shows a multicore score of 632 and single-core score of 89. PassMark tests reveal a multithread score of 7382, a single-thread score of 1974, integer math at 27669, floating point math at 17781, and extended instructions at 3981. Data compression reaches 80444, data encryption scores 5693, and random string sorting hits 10102. The physics test records 446, while find prime numbers scores only 20.

The database shows zero wins for the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 in head-to-head comparisons, and zero wins for the Intel Core 3 N350. This is because the AMD processor has no benchmark entries to compare against. The Intel part's percentile placement of 66 means it outperforms roughly two-thirds of all CPUs in the database, based on its average score of 9903. Its nearest rival comparisons show it sits within a narrow band: 2% above the Core i7-3770, 2.3% above the Core i5-1035G1, 2.5% below the EPYC 7F52, and 3.2% below the Xeon Platinum 8280.

Without AMD benchmark data, the only quantitative statement available is that the Intel Core 3 N350 delivers measurable performance in every recorded test, while the AMD part has no recorded scores. The Intel processor's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6274 is roughly seven times its R23 single-core score of 885, which reflects its 8-core, 8-thread configuration. The PassMark single-thread score of 1974 appears twice in the database, once under "passmark_single_thread" and once under "passmark_singlethread", confirming consistency in that measurement.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The Intel Core 3 N350 is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark results. Its average score of 9903 and 66th percentile ranking place it above the majority of CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are all within a 3.2% margin, which indicates that it performs in line with established desktop and mobile processors from previous generations. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no recorded scores, so no performance conclusion can be drawn from the database.

For users who rely on measured results, the Intel Core 3 N350 is the only option with data to support a purchasing decision. Its 8 cores and 8 threads align with its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6274. The single-core score of 885 in the same test shows a moderate per-thread capability. The Intel part's 7 W TDP and single-channel memory bus suggest a low-power design, which is consistent with its benchmark profile. The AMD part's specifications, including a 55 W TDP and quad-channel LPDDR5X memory, indicate a different design intent, but without benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm how that translates into actual performance.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the Intel Core 3 N350 delivers documented performance at a low power envelope, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 remains unmeasured. Any selection between the two must account for the fact that only one has verified results.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses a 4 nm process node manufactured by TSMC. Its codename is Gorgon Halo, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI Max PRO generation built on Zen 5. The Intel Core 3 N350 uses a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel, with the codename Twin Lake and architecture also listed as Twin Lake. Its generation is listed as Core 3 based on Alder Lake-N.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 N350 wins in every category where measured data exists. Its average benchmark score of 9903 places it at the 66th percentile, which means it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival comparisons show it beats the Intel Core i7-3770 by 2% and the Intel Core i5-1035G1 by 2.3%. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6274 and PassMark multithread score of 7382 provide concrete evidence of its multi-threaded capability. Its 7 W TDP makes it a low-power option, and its single-channel memory bus of 38.4 GB/s is consistent with that power profile. The Intel part also supports three memory types (DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR5), which gives it flexibility in memory selection.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 wins in specification-based comparisons where no benchmark data is required. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds the Intel part's 3.90 GHz. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz far exceeds the Intel part's 0.10 GHz. Its memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s is more than seven times the Intel part's 38.4 GB/s. The AMD part supports ECC memory, which the Intel part does not. Its PCIe Gen 4 interface with 16 lanes outpaces the Intel part's Gen 3 with 9 lanes. The AMD part's 4 nm process node from TSMC is smaller than the Intel part's 10 nm node. The AMD part has 16 threads versus the Intel part's 8, and its 32 MB of L3 cache exceeds the Intel part's 6 MB. The AMD part's Radeon 8050S integrated graphics differ from the Intel part's UHD Graphics 770.

The use-case split is defined by data availability. For any workload where benchmark scores matter, the Intel Core 3 N350 has the only recorded results. Its 66th percentile ranking and average score of 9903 give it a documented performance position. For workloads where memory bandwidth, thread count, or PCIe connectivity are the primary considerations, the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 offers superior specifications on paper, but the database contains no measurements to confirm how those specifications perform in practice. The Intel part's nearest rivals include the Core i7-3770 and Core i5-1035G1, both of which it edges out by roughly 2%, and the EPYC 7F52 and Xeon Platinum 8280, which edge it out by 2.5% and 3.2% respectively. Those margins place the Intel part in a narrow performance band around its 9903 average score. The AMD part's 50th percentile position, with no average score, cannot be compared against that band. The only conclusion the data supports is that the Intel Core 3 N350 has verified results, and the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 does not.
