Intel Core i3-4150 vs AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

The Intel Core i3-4150 (Haswell S), introduced in 2014, targeted the entry-level desktop market. It is manufactured using a 22 nm process and features 2 cores, 4 threads, and 3 MB of Level 3 cache.

Its integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400 supports PCIe 3.0 and offers a maximum memory bandwidth of 26 GB/s. Its single-core and multi-core performance is very low for modern standards. Exact TDP values are missing. As an outdated processor, it is very inexpensive today, but only suitable for the simplest applications in extremely budget-sensitive systems.

Its strength lies in its minimal acquisition cost for basic tasks. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (Strix Halo, Zen 5) is a significantly newer high-performance processor, optimized for demanding desktop and mobile applications with AI acceleration.

It is manufactured using an advanced 4 nm process, features 16 MB of Level 2 cache, and 64 MB of Level 3 cache. Its integrated AMD Radeon 8060S Graphics, coupled with a maximum memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s and PCIe 4.0, offers far superior performance, especially in gaming. In both single-core and multi-core performance, it surpasses the Intel processor many times over.

Although no exact TDP values are available, the 4 nm process indicates high energy efficiency. It offers an outstanding price-performance ratio for modern requirements and is the clear choice for demanding use.
