AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core 3 100HL Comparison

The Verdict

The database contains no direct benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, while the Intel Core 3 100HL has a substantial set of recorded scores. The Intel part achieves a 76th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23,545, placing it slightly above the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U (23,709, 0.7% lower) and Intel Core i5-11500 (23,718, 0.7% lower), and ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V (23,297, 1.1% lower) and AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (23,277, 1.2% lower). The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded average score, meaning the available data cannot confirm its performance position. Based strictly on the recorded measurements, the Intel Core 3 100HL is the only chip with verified benchmark outcomes, and its data indicates it operates in the upper-middle range of the database. The AMD part, lacking any scores, cannot be recommended on measured performance alone; the Intel chip is the sole option with quantitative evidence of its capabilities.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Zen 5 architecture, code-named Gorgon Halo, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 2x 70.6 mm². It packs 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a large 64 MB L3 pool. Memory support is LPDDR5X over a quad-channel bus, yielding 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth, and it supports ECC memory. The integrated graphics are the Radeon 8065S. The socket is AMD Socket FP11, and the TDP is rated at 55 watts.

The Intel Core 3 100HL, by contrast, uses the Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-PS) on Intel's 10 nm process. It has 8 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its cache includes the same 80 KB L1 per core, but a larger 2 MB L2 per core and a smaller 12 MB shared L3. Memory support spans DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded and no ECC support. The integrated graphics are Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units. It uses Intel Socket 1700 and carries a 45 W TDP. The AMD chip offers double the cores and nearly triple the threads, a faster boost clock, a denser process node, a larger L3 cache, and a wider memory interface. The Intel part counters with a higher per-core L2 allocation and broader memory compatibility across DDR4 and DDR5.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark records exist for these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has zero benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core 3 100HL has seventeen recorded tests. The Intel chip's Cinebench results include a multi-core score of 6,278 in R20, 14,948 in R23, and 1,506 in R15, with single-core scores of 886 in R20, 2,110 in R23, and 212 in R15. PassMark tests show an integer math score of 56,308, floating point math at 42,108, and data compression at 202,225. Data encryption sits at 11,964, extended instructions at 12,463, and random string sorting at 23,223. The multithread score is 17,586, physics at 928, and single-thread at 3,735. The find prime numbers test yields 48.

Because the AMD part lacks any recorded scores, no comparative deltas can be calculated. The Intel chip's nearest rivals provide context: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U trails by 0.7%, the Intel Core i5-11500 trails by 0.7%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V is ahead by 1.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H is ahead by 1.2%. These margins are narrow, indicating the Core 3 100HL sits in a tightly clustered performance band. The absence of AMD data for the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 means the database cannot confirm whether its 16-core configuration would outpace the Intel part across these workloads.

FAQ

Q: Why does the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 have no benchmark scores in the database?

A: The recorded data shows the AMD part has an empty benchmarks array, a 0 average benchmark score, and a 50th percentile ranking. No test results are available for comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 100HL wins exclusively in the measured benchmark domain, as it is the only chip with recorded scores. Its PassMark data compression result of 202,225 indicates strong throughput in compression workloads, while the integer math score of 56,308 and floating point math score of 42,108 show balanced compute capabilities. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,948 and single-core score of 2,110 demonstrate competency across both parallel and single-threaded tasks. The multithread PassMark score of 17,586 further supports its position in multi-threaded applications. Its 76th percentile ranking among all CPUs means it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the database's entries, despite sitting slightly below four close rivals.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 cannot claim any benchmark wins in the database due to the absence of data. However, its specifications suggest potential advantages in specific scenarios. The 16-core, 32-thread configuration with a 5.20 GHz boost clock would likely favor heavily parallel workloads if measured, and the 64 MB L3 cache plus 273.1 GB/s quad-channel LPDDR5X memory bandwidth could benefit memory-intensive tasks. The integrated Radeon 8065S graphics and ECC support add features the Intel part lacks, but these are not quantified by any recorded scores. The Intel chip wins every measurable category in the database; the AMD part's wins remain hypothetical until benchmark data is populated.
