Intel i5-6440EQ vs AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U - Performance Comparison Would you like to compare this embedded EQ model against its more common mobile coun...

The PassMark comparison between the 2019 AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U and the 2015 Intel Core i5-6440EQ shows the Ryzen chip leading in multi-threaded performance by roughly 8–10%. The Ryzen 3 PRO 3300U offers superior efficiency with a 15W TDP, faster Radeon Vega 6 graphics, and modern 12nm architecture, whereas the i5-6440EQ provides a higher 2.7 GHz base clock and supports up to 64GB of RAM. While the Intel chip serves as a high-power, higher-capacity embedded option, its 45W TDP and lack of modern security features make it less ideal than the Ryzen for modern, energy-efficient applications.
