AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Processor N150 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 shows no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Processor N150 has four documented Cinebench results. This asymmetry makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible, but the available measurements for the Intel part establish a baseline against which the AMD processor's specifications can be interpreted.

The Intel Processor N150 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 2590.5 points and a single-core score of 935 points. In the older Cinebench R15 test, it records 422.5 points multi-core and 153.15 points single-core. These figures place the Intel part at the 28th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1025.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 occupies the 50th percentile across all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0 in the current database state. The absence of recorded benchmark data for the AMD part means the database cannot yet quantify its performance headroom over the Intel Processor N150. However, the specification gap between the two parts is substantial enough to infer the direction of the comparison.

The Intel Processor N150's nearest rivals in the database are separated by very small margins. The AMD Phenom II X6 1075T sits 0.1% ahead with an average score of 1024, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U also sits 0.1% ahead at 1024, the Intel Core i3-4340 sits 0.1% behind at 1026, and the Intel Core i7-5650U sits 0.2% behind at 1027. This tight clustering indicates the Intel Processor N150 performs in a narrow band around the 1025 average score mark, with no rival in its immediate vicinity exceeding a 0.2% delta.

For the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, the database lists no nearest rivals, no head-to-head benchmark entries, and no wins in either direction. The comparison therefore rests on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas.

The Verdict

The database shows the Intel Processor N150 as a 4-core, 4-thread mobile processor with a 6 W TDP, a 10 nm process node, and a 28th percentile standing across all CPUs. Its measured Cinebench scores, while modest, are fully documented and place it in the company of processors like the AMD Phenom II X6 1075T and the Intel Core i3-4340, both within 0.2% of its average score.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is a 16-core, 32-thread mobile processor with a 55 W TDP, a 4 nm process node, a 64 MB L3 cache, and a 50th percentile standing across all CPUs. The data indicates a processor aimed at a higher performance tier, with four times the cores, eight times the threads, and a substantially larger cache hierarchy than the Intel part.

From the recorded specifications alone, the AMD part targets workloads that demand parallel throughput and memory bandwidth, while the Intel part targets efficiency-focused tasks within a 6 W power envelope. The Intel Processor N150 has the advantage of verified benchmark results; the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has the advantage of a far larger resource allocation in cores, threads, cache, and memory channels.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 belongs to the Gorgon Halo codename family, part of the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO generation built on Zen 5 architecture. It uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC, with a die size listed as 2x 70.6 mm². The Intel Processor N150 uses the Twin Lake codename, belongs to the Intel Processor generation based on Alder Lake-N architecture, and uses a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel.

The core configurations diverge sharply. The AMD part offers 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel part offers 4 cores and 4 threads. The AMD part's base clock is 3.10 GHz with a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, while the Intel part's base clock is 0.10 GHz with a boost clock of 3.60 GHz. The TDP figures reflect the design intent: 55 W for the AMD part versus 6 W for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ in structure and size. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Processor N150 provides 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part's per-core L2 allocation scales with its 16 cores, yielding a total L2 capacity of 16 MB, while the Intel part's shared L2 is fixed at 2 MB regardless of core count.

Memory support separates the two substantially. The AMD part uses LPDDR5X memory across a quad-channel bus, delivering 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth with ECC support. The Intel part supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 across a single-channel bus, delivering 38.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth without ECC support. The AMD part's memory bandwidth is approximately seven times higher than the Intel part's, a direct consequence of the channel count and memory type.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 3 with 9 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part carries a Radeon 8065S, while the Intel part carries UHD Graphics 730.

The release dates place the Intel Processor N150 first, with a release date of 2024-11-19, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 followed with a release date of 2026-05-19. Both parts are listed as Active in production status and both have locked multipliers. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1264.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 wins on raw compute resources. Its 16 cores and 32 threads provide four times the core count and eight times the thread count of the Intel Processor N150. The Zen 5 architecture, 4 nm process node, and 5.20 GHz boost clock position it for heavy multi-threaded workloads such as compilation, rendering, and scientific computing, where the 64 MB L3 cache and 273.1 GB/s memory bandwidth reduce bottleneck pressure.

The AMD part also wins on memory subsystem capabilities. Its quad-channel LPDDR5X configuration delivers 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to the Intel part's single-channel 38.4 GB/s. ECC support further distinguishes it for data-integrity-sensitive applications. PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes offers double the bandwidth per lane and more total lanes than the Intel part's PCIe Gen 3 with 9 lanes.

The Intel Processor N150 wins on power efficiency. Its 6 W TDP is roughly one-tenth of the AMD part's 55 W TDP, making it suitable for fanless or low-power mobile designs where thermal and battery constraints dominate. Its 0.10 GHz base clock allows deep idle states, and its 10 nm process, while larger than the AMD part's 4 nm node, is paired with a much smaller core count to keep power draw minimal.

The Intel part also wins on measured benchmark availability. The database contains Cinebench R15 and R23 scores for the Intel Processor N150, giving it a documented performance profile. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no benchmark entries recorded, so its performance cannot be confirmed from the database at this time.

The Intel part's single-channel memory support and 38.4 GB/s bandwidth remain adequate for basic office tasks, web browsing, and lightweight media playback, where its 4 cores and 4 threads handle sequential workloads without contention. Its 96 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of shared L2 cache provide sufficient locality for small-footprint applications.
