AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core Ultra 7 366H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data for this comparison is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H has a full suite of 17 recorded scores. Because the AMD side lacks any measured results, the head-to-head analysis rests entirely on the Intel processor's performance profile and its position relative to other CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H delivers its strongest showing in multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 28477, while in Cinebench R20 multicore it reaches 11960 and in Cinebench R15 multicore it posts 2870. These results place the chip in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 41263. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H, averages 41215, a delta of 0.1 percent in favor of the 366H. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 also scores 41208, again a 0.1 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X sits slightly ahead at 41376, meaning the 366H trails by 0.3 percent. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H lags behind at 40967, a 0.7 percent deficit relative to the 366H.

Single-thread performance is comparatively modest. The Cinebench R23 single-core score is 4020, the R20 single-core result is 1688, and the R15 single-core score is 405. PassMark single-thread testing shows 4043 (recorded twice in the database, once as "single_thread" and once as "singlethread"). These numbers indicate that while the processor excels in parallel tasks, its single-thread showing is not in the same tier as its multi-core output.

The PassMark suite further confirms the multi-thread orientation. The multithread score is 33429, floating point math reaches 103615, integer math posts 83695, and extended instructions score 26901. Data compression hits 327455, random string sorting reaches 39814, and data encryption scores 25845. Find prime numbers is the outlier at 326, while physics scores 2880.

Because the AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no benchmark entries, the database cannot confirm any direct wins for that processor. The wins tally stands at zero for the AMD part and zero for the Intel part in head-to-head comparisons, but the practical outcome is that the Intel chip has all recorded performance data while the AMD chip has none.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H, but only because it is the sole participant with recorded benchmarks. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has zero benchmark entries, an average score of 0, and sits at the 50th percentile by default. The Intel chip, by contrast, has a full suite of scores and an 87th percentile ranking.

For workloads that depend on multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is the only verified option in this comparison. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 28477 and PassMark multithread score of 33429 provide concrete evidence of parallel processing capability. The single-core results, while lower than the multi-core figures, are still recorded and measurable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4020.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark data, as none exists in the database. Its specifications are known, but its measured performance is absent. Any user relying on the database for performance verification would have no evidence for the AMD part.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H has 16 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ: the AMD part runs at 2.90 GHz, the Intel part at 2.00 GHz. Boost clocks are closer, with AMD at 4.55 GHz and Intel at 4.80 GHz.

Thermal design power differs slightly. The AMD chip has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel chip is rated at 25 watts. Sockets are incompatible: the AMD uses AMD Socket FP7, the Intel uses Intel BGA 2540.

Memory support diverges. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 supports DDR5 only, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but memory bandwidth differs: AMD lists 76.8 GB/s, Intel lists 115.2 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part.

PCIe generations and lane counts differ. The AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 12 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD has Radeon 660M, the Intel has Intel Xe3 Graphics.

Release dates differ by several months. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has a release date of 2025-09-30, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H has a release date of 2026-01-04. Both processors are marked as Active in production status, and neither has a launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 uses Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, part of the Ryzen 5 generation. It is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 210 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H uses Panther Lake architecture, part of the Core Ultra Series 3 and the Ultra 7 (Panther Lake-H) generation. It is built on a 3 nm process at Intel, with no die size recorded.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part uses significantly more cache per core, particularly at the L2 level.

Core counts and threading models reflect different design philosophies. The AMD part uses 6 cores with 12 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel part uses 16 cores with 16 threads, meaning no hyperthreading, relying instead on physical core count for parallel throughput. The Intel processor also has the newer Panther Lake architecture, while the AMD chip is based on the older Rembrandt-R design.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both are mobile market segments. The AMD part has the part number 100-000000992(FP7r2), while the Intel part has the part number SA4R9Q9EL.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H wins every category where performance data exists. Multi-threaded rendering, as measured by Cinebench R23 multicore at 28477, is its strongest domain. PassMark multithread at 33429 confirms broad parallel capability. Floating point math at 103615 and integer math at 83695 show strength in computation-heavy tasks. Data compression at 327455 and random string sorting at 39814 indicate solid memory-bound throughput. Extended instructions at 26901 and data encryption at 25845 round out a comprehensive suite.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 wins no benchmark categories, because no benchmark data exists. Its only recorded advantages are in the specification sheet: a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 25 watts is actually not an advantage, but its base clock of 2.90 GHz is higher than the Intel's 2.00 GHz, and its ECC memory support is a feature the Intel chip lacks. The AMD processor also has a smaller process node advantage in reverse: the Intel chip uses a 3 nm process while the AMD uses 6 nm, so the Intel part is more advanced in fabrication.

In practical terms, the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is the only processor with verified performance in this comparison. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 remains a specification-only entry in the database, with no measured results to support any use case. Users seeking confirmed benchmark data must choose the Intel part; the AMD chip offers no recorded evidence of performance in any workload.
