AMD Ryzen 7 8700G vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for this comparison is unusually one-sided in terms of availability. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G has a comprehensive set of 23 benchmark scores across 3DMark, Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark tests. The Intel Core i9-14901TE, by contrast, has an empty benchmark array in the database. This means there are no head-to-head results, no win counts, and no direct score comparisons to walk through. The database records a percentileVsAllCpus of 83 for the AMD part, placing it above 83% of all tested CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero. The absence of Intel scores prevents any numeric win analysis. What can be stated is that the Ryzen 7 8700G delivers an average benchmark score of 33089, with a peak single-thread PassMark score of 3928 and a multi-thread PassMark score of 31690. Its nearest rivals in the database, all within a 0.3% delta, include the Intel Core i7-13650HX, AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX, AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no rivals listed, which reflects the lack of recorded performance data for that chip.

Architecture Differences

The fundamental architectural split between these two desktop processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G uses the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 257 mm² die size and no transistor count recorded. Both parts have 8 cores and 16 threads, but the cache layouts diverge sharply. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. That gives Intel a 20 MB advantage in total L3 cache, which typically favors workloads with large working sets. The process node difference is also stark: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which usually translates into power efficiency and density advantages for the smaller node. The AMD part uses DDR5 memory only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth for the AMD chip is recorded at 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel chip has no bandwidth figure listed. ECC memory support is absent on the AMD side and present on the Intel side. PCIe generations differ: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with the AMD part featuring Radeon 780M and the Intel part featuring UHD Graphics 770. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel chip does not. The production status for both is Active.

The Verdict

Given the data as recorded, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G is the only chip with measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 33089 places it in the 83rd percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within a fraction of a percent, including the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which is a well-regarded gaming part in the database. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rivals. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the AMD chip offers verifiable performance numbers across single-thread, multi-thread, and specialized workloads. The Intel chip offers only specifications. For any user who relies on benchmark data to make a selection, the Ryzen 7 8700G is the only option with recorded evidence of performance. The Intel part may have a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 5.10 GHz, a larger L3 cache of 36 MB versus 16 MB, and ECC support, but none of those attributes translate into measured scores in the database. The AMD chip also has a launch MSRP of $329, which is stated once here. The Intel chip has no launch MSRP recorded. The data does not support a performance comparison, so the verdict must be based on completeness of evidence: the AMD chip wins by virtue of being the only one with test results.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on nearly every specification field except core count and thread count, which are both 8 and 16 respectively. Clock speeds: the AMD base clock is 4.20 GHz and boost is 5.10 GHz. The Intel base clock is 2.30 GHz and boost is 5.50 GHz. That means Intel has a 0.40 GHz higher boost clock but a 1.90 GHz lower base clock. TDP differs: 65 watts for AMD versus 45 watts for Intel. Sockets are different: AMD Socket AM5 versus Intel Socket 1700. Process node: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. Die size: 178 mm² versus 257 mm². Transistors: 25,000 million for AMD, none recorded for Intel. Cache per core: L1 is 64 KB versus 80 KB, L2 is 1 MB versus 2 MB. Shared L3 is 16 MB versus 36 MB. Memory support: DDR5 only versus DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth: 83.2 GB/s versus not recorded. ECC: false versus true. PCIe: Gen 4 with 20 lanes versus Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics: Radeon 780M versus UHD Graphics 770. Multiplier unlocked: true versus false. Release date: January 7, 2024 versus June 30, 2024. Launch MSRP: $329 versus none recorded. Part numbers differ: 100-000001236 versus Q49CSRNJJ. The market segment is Desktop for both. Production status is Active for both.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G wins in every category where benchmark data exists. Its single-thread performance is recorded at 3928 in PassMark single-thread, 2337 in Geekbench single-core, 1817 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 1010 in 3DMark single-thread. Its multi-thread results include 31690 in PassMark multithread, 17128 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, and 14584 in Geekbench multi-core. Specialized workloads show strong results: 386811 in PassMark data compression, 22842 in data encryption, 29067 in extended instructions, 63815 in floating point math, and 103107 in integer math. The chip also has an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded wins because it has no recorded scores. The data does not permit a use-case split based on measured performance. What can be said qualitatively: the Intel chip offers a higher boost clock, more L3 cache, ECC support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, but none of those are backed by benchmark results in the database. The AMD chip offers a lower process node, higher base clock, higher memory bandwidth, and an unlocked multiplier, backed by a full suite of test scores. For single-thread-heavy tasks, the AMD chip's scores are what the data shows. For multi-thread workloads, the AMD chip's scores are also what the data shows. The Intel chip's specifications suggest potential advantages in memory flexibility and cache capacity, but the database contains no evidence of how those translate into performance. The recorded data therefore assigns every measurable win to the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G.
