AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core 5 320 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and the Intel Core 5 320 represent two distinct approaches to mobile computing, one prioritizing raw multi-threaded throughput and the other focusing on efficiency and compact design. The database contains complete benchmark records for the Intel Core 5 320, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 currently lacks any recorded benchmark scores, making direct numerical comparisons impossible. The analysis that follows relies on the architectural and specification data available for both processors, along with the recorded performance of the Intel part and its nearest rivals.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database holds no direct head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors, as the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded benchmark scores. The Intel Core 5 320, however, has a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results. Its average benchmark score is 18023, which places it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD part is currently listed at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero, indicating that no performance data has been collected for it.

The Intel Core 5 320 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 6197 and a single-core score of 1926. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5462 multi-core and 771 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1054 multi-core and 276 single-core. These results indicate a processor that is consistent across rendering workloads, with the single-core performance being notably stronger relative to its multi-core output.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 320 show a multi-thread score of 15450 and a single-thread score of 4045. The integer math test records 32323, while floating point math reaches 42440. Data compression scores 148779, and data encryption reaches 10984. Extended instruction performance is 13262, and the find prime numbers test produces a score of 110. Random string sorting achieves 18038, and the physics test records 1221.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 5 320 provide context for its overall score. The AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has an average score of 17994, placing it 0.2 percent behind the Intel part. The Intel Core 5 120U scores 17898, a 0.7 percent deficit. The Intel Core i5-1334U records 18154, which is 0.7 percent ahead of the Core 5 320. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17891, also 0.7 percent behind. The Core 5 320 therefore sits in a tight cluster of mid-range processors, with its nearest rival being the Ryzen 5 1600 by a margin of only 0.2 percent, and the i5-1334U being the only one of the four to outpace it.

The absence of benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 means the database cannot currently show how its 16 cores and 32 threads perform against the 6 cores and 6 threads of the Intel Core 5 320. The AMD part has a boost clock of 5.20 GHz against 4.60 GHz for the Intel, and its base clock of 3.10 GHz is more than double the 1.50 GHz of the Intel part. Those clock figures suggest a significant advantage in single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, but without recorded scores, the database cannot quantify the difference.

A: The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel Core 5 320 has 6 cores and 6 threads.

Q: What is the memory bandwidth of each processor?

A: The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 supports quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with a bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 320 supports single-channel DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO generation built on the Zen 5 architecture. The Intel Core 5 320 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation built on the Wildcat Lake architecture. The AMD part is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 3 nm process at Intel. The AMD chip has a die size of 2x 70.6 mm², while the Intel chip has no recorded die size.

The core configuration differs substantially. The AMD processor has 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel processor has 6 cores and 6 threads, with a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The AMD part does not support simultaneous multithreading on the Intel part, but its thread count is derived from its 16 physical cores. The Intel part has no hyper-threading, which is why its thread count matches its core count.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 192 KB of L1 cache, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD L3 cache is more than ten times larger than the Intel L3 cache, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access large data sets.

Memory support and bandwidth present another major divergence. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory across a quad-channel bus, delivering 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but only on a single-channel bus, capping bandwidth at 59.7 GB/s. The AMD part supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. Both use the same PCIe generation, but the AMD part has more than twice the lane count, which matters for discrete GPUs and high-speed storage.

The integrated graphics solutions are entirely different. The AMD processor pairs with a Radeon 8065S, while the Intel processor uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The database does not record performance figures for either integrated GPU, so no comparison can be made from the available data.

The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1516. Both are mobile platforms. The AMD part has a TDP of 55 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 15 watts, a 40-watt difference that reflects the Intel chip's efficiency focus.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors with fundamentally different design goals. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is built for maximum throughput, with 16 cores, 32 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost clock, 64 MB of L3 cache, and 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel Core 5 320 is built for efficiency, with 6 cores, 6 threads, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, 6 MB of L3 cache, and 59.7 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

For users who prioritize multi-threaded workloads, the AMD processor has the structural advantage on paper. Its core count is more than double that of the Intel part, its cache is larger, and its memory bandwidth is more than four times higher. The 55-watt TDP indicates that it can sustain higher power draw to feed those components. The lack of benchmark data for the AMD part, however, means the database cannot confirm whether that structural advantage translates into proportional performance gains.

For users who prioritize efficiency and compact designs, the Intel Core 5 320 has the clear edge in the recorded data. Its 15-watt TDP is less than a third of the AMD part's 55-watt TDP. Its benchmark results show a capable processor that sits in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 18023 that places it within 0.7 percent of several established mid-range parts. The single-thread score of 4045 in PassMark and 1926 in Cinebench R23 indicate solid responsiveness for everyday tasks.

The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark scores, so it cannot be placed relative to the Intel part or any other CPU in the database. Its percentile of 50 and average score of zero are placeholders, not performance measurements. The Intel part, by contrast, has a full set of measurements across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple PassMark tests.

The choice between the two depends on the workload. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 offers the specifications for heavy parallel processing, with its 16 cores, 32 threads, large cache, and high memory bandwidth. The Intel Core 5 320 offers verified performance in a low-power envelope, with its 15-watt TDP and recorded scores that place it among established mid-range processors. The database currently can only verify the Intel part's performance; the AMD part remains an unmeasured quantity.
