AMD Ryzen 7 170 vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 7 170 and the Intel Core i9-14901KE. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor records a win count in direct competition. This absence of measured data means any direct performance comparison must be derived from the individual benchmark results available for the AMD Ryzen 7 170 and the overall percentile standings for both parts.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 170, the recorded PassMark benchmark scores provide a detailed performance profile. The multi-threaded score is 20,760, while the single-thread score is 3,128. In specific workloads, the Ryzen 7 170 delivers a data compression score of 265,920, a data encryption score of 16,078, and an extended instructions score of 18,107. Floating point math results reach 44,979, while integer math completes at 79,738. The processor also records a find prime numbers score of 49, a physics score of 890, and a random string sorting score of 27,804. The average benchmark score across all tests is 43,689, placing the Ryzen 7 170 in the 88th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE, in contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and it holds the 50th percentile among all CPUs. The absence of individual test results means the database cannot produce a measured performance comparison between these two processors on any specific workload. The only comparative signal available is the percentile ranking, which places the Ryzen 7 170 well above the Core i9-14901KE in overall standing, but this is a database-wide metric rather than a direct comparison.

When examining the nearest rivals for the Ryzen 7 170, the data indicates how closely matched it is to other AMD parts. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 has an average score of 43,704, a delta of 0 percent relative to the Ryzen 7 170. The AMD Ryzen 7 260 scores 43,717, which is 0.1 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 records 43,431, a 0.6 percent deficit, and the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 scores 43,326, a 0.8 percent deficit. These tight margins show that the Ryzen 7 170 sits in a competitive cluster, but none of these rivals are the Intel part in question.

Given the lack of direct measurements, the benchmark story for this comparison is one of data asymmetry. The AMD side has a full suite of results, while the Intel side has none. This makes any claim of performance superiority or inferiority unsupported by the recorded data. The only factual statement the database supports is that the Ryzen 7 170 has measured scores across multiple workloads, and the Core i9-14901KE has no measured scores at all.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data supports wins for the AMD Ryzen 7 170 in every benchmark category where a score exists. The Ryzen 7 170 delivers a data compression score of 265,920, an encryption score of 16,078, and extended instructions at 18,107. Its floating point math result is 44,979, integer math is 79,738, and physics is 890. Random string sorting completes at 27,804, and the find prime numbers test records 49. In both single-thread and multi-thread workloads, the Ryzen 7 170 has measurable output, with 3,128 and 20,760 respectively.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmark results, so there is no data indicating any workload where it wins. The database does not show a single test where the Intel part outperforms the AMD part, because no test results exist for the Intel processor. This is not a statement of inferiority in real-world terms; it is a statement about the contents of the database. The Intel part cannot be credited with a win in any category because the database contains no measurements for it.

For use-case analysis, the Ryzen 7 170 shows strengths in data-heavy workloads based on its compression and encryption scores. The data compression result of 265,920 is the highest recorded score for the part, suggesting strong performance in archiving or storage-related tasks. The integer math score of 79,738 and floating point score of 44,979 indicate capability in computational workloads. The multi-thread score of 20,760 points to parallel processing efficiency, while the single-thread score of 3,128 reflects per-core performance.

The Intel part, with no scores, cannot be assigned any use-case advantage from the database. Its market segment is listed as Desktop, while the AMD part is Mobile, and its base and boost clocks are higher on paper, but no measured performance data exists to confirm or deny real-world advantages. The database simply lacks the evidence to place the Intel part ahead in any scenario.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several specification fields. The AMD Ryzen 7 170 has a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.75 GHz, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.80 GHz. The thermal design power (TDP) is 35 watts for the AMD part and 125 watts for the Intel part.

The socket types are different: the AMD Ryzen 7 170 uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded memory bandwidth value. Both support dual-channel memory and ECC memory.

The PCIe configurations differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 170 uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics are different: the AMD part includes a Radeon 680M, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770.

The market segments are distinct, with the AMD part classified as Mobile and the Intel part as Desktop. The multiplier is locked on the AMD processor and unlocked on the Intel processor. The release dates differ, with the AMD part released on September 30, 2025, and the Intel part released on June 30, 2024. The part numbers are 100-000000989 for AMD and Q49DSRNJC for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The architectural differences between the two processors are substantial. The AMD Ryzen 7 170 uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R. The AMD part is from the Ryzen 7 generation built on Zen 3+ (Rembrandt), while the Intel part is from the Core i9 generation built on Raptor Lake Refresh.

The process nodes differ: the AMD processor is built on a 6 nm process by TSMC, while the Intel processor uses a 10 nm process by Intel. The die sizes are 210 mm² for AMD and 257 mm² for Intel. Cache structures differ notably. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. Neither part has additional V-Cache.

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the core and thread counts are identical. The difference lies in how each architecture organizes and uses those resources. The AMD design relies on a smaller process node and a lower TDP, while the Intel design uses a larger die and higher power envelope. The cache hierarchy is also distinct, with Intel offering more L1 and L2 per core and a larger L3 pool. The AMD part integrates a Radeon 680M GPU, while the Intel part integrates UHD Graphics 770. The memory support differs, with AMD limited to DDR5 and Intel supporting both DDR4 and DDR5. The PCIe generation differs, with AMD on Gen 4 and Intel on Gen 5. These architectural choices shape the performance envelope, but the database contains no direct benchmark data for the Intel part to quantify the impact.
