AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep: the Intel Core 5 213PTE wins all 11 head-to-head benchmark comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 5 150. The largest margins appear in heavily parallel workloads. In PassMark find prime numbers, the Intel part scores 157 versus 47 for the AMD, a delta of -70.1% from the AMD perspective, meaning the Intel result is more than three times higher. Floating point math shows a similar gulf, with Intel at 71,722 and AMD at 35,118, a -51.0% difference. Physics simulation follows the same pattern: Intel scores 2,199 against AMD's 806, a -63.3% delta.

The Intel processor also leads in integer math, scoring 93,109 versus 62,151, a -33.2% difference. Multithread performance favors Intel at 25,590 against 17,492, a -31.6% gap. Data compression shows Intel at 261,083 versus 211,289, a -19.1% delta. Random string sorting goes to Intel, 30,106 versus 22,382, a -25.7% margin. Extended instructions favor Intel by -9.1% (16,146 versus 14,675), and data encryption shows a narrower -6.9% gap (14,413 versus 13,425).

Single-thread performance also belongs to Intel, with a score of 3,718 versus 3,155, a -15.1% difference. The two single-thread entries in the database (passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread) return identical values for each processor, confirming consistency in the measurements. Across all benchmarks, the Intel Core 5 213PTE records 11 wins, while the AMD Ryzen 5 150 records none.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. These process differences correlate with the power envelopes: AMD lists a TDP of 35 watts, while Intel lists 45 watts.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel L2 allocation per core is four times larger, and total L3 is 8 MB higher.

Memory support separates the two as well. AMD supports DDR5 only, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with the same 76.8 GB/s bandwidth figure. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses a Radeon 660M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Socket and market segment further separate them: AMD sits in the mobile segment on AMD Socket FP7, while Intel sits in the desktop segment on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD production status is Active, as is the Intel. The AMD release date is recorded as 2025-09-30, and the Intel release date is 2026-03-08.

The Verdict

The benchmark data consistently favors the Intel Core 5 213PTE across every recorded test. The Intel processor leads in all 11 head-to-head comparisons, with the smallest margin at -6.9% in data encryption and the largest at -70.1% in find prime numbers. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 32,924, while the AMD part averages 34,881. That average appears higher for AMD, but the nearest rival data explains the discrepancy: the AMD part's nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6349P at 34,890 (0% delta), the Intel Core 7 253PTE at 34,962 (-0.2%), the Intel Core i7-13800H at 34,988 (-0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35,003 (-0.3%). The Intel Core 5 213PTE's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700 at 32,942 (-0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H at 32,812 (0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at 33,079 (-0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G at 33,089 (-0.5%). The percentile ranks are close: AMD sits at the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while Intel sits at the 83rd.

For workloads that stress parallel execution, the Intel part delivers substantially higher scores. For single-thread responsiveness, the Intel part also leads, though by a smaller margin. The AMD part uses a lower TDP (35 W versus 45 W) and a smaller process node (6 nm versus 10 nm), which may interest mobile system designers. The Intel part offers ECC memory support, which the AMD part lacks. The Intel part also supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part is DDR5-only.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE wins in every benchmark category recorded. Its largest advantages appear in find prime numbers (-70.1%), physics (-63.3%), floating point math (-51.0%), integer math (-33.2%), and multithread (-31.6%). These results indicate a strong fit for computation-heavy tasks that scale with core count and cache size. The Intel part also leads in data compression (-19.1%), random string sorting (-25.7%), extended instructions (-9.1%), data encryption (-6.9%), and single-thread performance (-15.1%).

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has no benchmark wins in the recorded data. Its narrower losses occur in data encryption (-6.9%) and extended instructions (-9.1%), which are the closest margins. The AMD part records a lower TDP (35 W versus 45 W), a smaller process node (6 nm versus 10 nm), and a mobile market segment. Its integrated graphics (Radeon 660M) differ from the Intel UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP7 and a 20-lane Gen 4 PCIe connection, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700 and a 16-lane Gen 5 connection.

For systems where the lowest power draw and a mobile form factor are the primary constraints, the AMD Ryzen 5 150 presents the lower TDP option. For all recorded performance metrics, the Intel Core 5 213PTE holds the advantage, with a launch MSRP of $221 listed in the database. The AMD launch MSRP is not available. The Intel part also provides ECC memory support, a feature absent from the AMD part, which may matter for specific reliability-sensitive deployments.
