AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 vs Intel Core i7-14700T Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 and Intel Core i7-14700T are both 88th percentile CPUs, but they achieve that standing through very different means. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 wins 12 of the 17 head-to-head benchmarks, while the Intel Core i7-14700T takes 5. If your workload is built around Cinebench rendering, data compression, encryption, or extended instruction sets, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 is the clear pick from the data. It leads by a consistent 7.3% across every Cinebench test, and by a massive 45.7% in extended instructions. If your work leans on floating-point math, integer math, or physics simulations, the Intel Core i7-14700T holds the advantage, with a 19.9% lead in floating-point math and a 12.7% lead in physics. For mixed desktop use, the Intel part edges out a single-thread win, but only by 1.4%. The AMD chip is the better all-rounder in this dataset, while the Intel chip is the specialist for math-heavy tasks.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 dominates the rendering and security-related workloads. In Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, both multi-core and single-core, it wins every single test by exactly 7.3%. That consistency suggests a fundamental per-clock advantage rather than a core-count effect. Data compression also goes to AMD, with a 9.2% margin, and data encryption follows with a 7.3% win. The largest AMD victory is in extended instructions, where it scores 29216 against Intel's 20052, a 45.7% gap. Random string sorting goes to AMD by 21.3%, and find prime numbers by 14.5%. Even the multithread PassMark test, which might favor Intel's 20 cores, goes to AMD by 7.1%.

The Intel Core i7-14700T wins where raw math throughput matters. Floating-point math is its strongest showing, scoring 79042 against AMD's 63332, a 19.9% margin. Integer math goes to Intel by 9.2%, and physics by 12.7%. The only other Intel win is single-thread PassMark, where it scores 3905 against 3849, a slim 1.4% edge. Notably, Intel wins none of the Cinebench tests, which are the most common rendering benchmarks in the database. So the split is clean: AMD for rendering, encryption, compression, and general multithreaded work; Intel for floating-point, integer, and physics-heavy calculations.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 is built on Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename, part of the Ryzen 7 generation. It uses a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-14700T uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core i7 generation. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process, with a much larger 257 mm² die. The transistor count for Intel is not recorded in the database.

Core configuration differs sharply. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel chip has 20 cores and 28 threads, which implies a hybrid setup of performance and efficiency cores, though the database does not break down the core types. Cache layouts also differ. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. So Intel has more cache per core and slightly more total L3, yet AMD still wins most benchmarks.

Memory support diverges. AMD supports only DDR5, dual-channel, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with no bandwidth figure recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe lanes differ: AMD offers Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with AMD using Radeon Graphics and Intel using UHD Graphics 770.

Clock behavior is notable. AMD has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. Intel has a much lower base clock of 1.30 GHz but a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip has a 35 W TDP, while the AMD chip has a 65 W TDP. Neither multiplier is unlocked. The AMD chip targets the Server/Workstation segment, while Intel targets Desktop. Both are Active in production. The AMD part released on 2023-06-12, and the Intel part on 2024-01-07. The Intel launch MSRP is $384; no launch MSRP is recorded for AMD.

FAQ

Q: Which CPU is faster in Cinebench?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 wins every Cinebench test in the database. In R15, R20, and R23, both multi-core and single-core, it leads by 7.3% each time.

Q: Does the Intel Core i7-14700T win anything significant?

A: Yes, it wins floating-point math by 19.9%, integer math by 9.2%, physics by 12.7%, and single-thread PassMark by 1.4%. Those are real wins, but they do not offset AMD's dominance across the rest of the suite.

Q: Which CPU has more cores?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700T has 20 cores and 28 threads, compared to 8 cores and 16 threads for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745. Despite having fewer cores, AMD wins the multithread PassMark test by 7.1%.

Q: What is the TDP difference?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700T has a 35 W TDP, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 has a 65 W TDP. This means Intel is rated for lower power draw, though the database does not record actual power consumption.

Q: Do both CPUs support ECC memory?

A: Yes, both support ECC memory. AMD supports DDR5 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

Q: What is the largest single benchmark gap?

A: The largest gap is in PassMark extended instructions, where the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 scores 29216 against Intel's 20052, a 45.7% advantage.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results are the most consistent story in this comparison. Across all six Cinebench tests, from R15 multi-core to R23 single-core, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 wins by exactly 7.3%. The scores tell the tale: R15 multi-core is 2809 against 2618, R20 multi-core is 11708 against 10911, and R23 multi-core is 27877 against 25980. Single-core follows the same pattern, with R23 single-core at 3935 against 3667. This uniformity points to a per-clock efficiency advantage for Zen 4, not a core-count effect, since the Intel chip has more than double the cores.

PassMark data compression goes to AMD by 9.2%, with 386829 against 354216. Data encryption follows the 7.3% pattern, at 22821 against 21277. The extended instructions test is the blowout: AMD scores 29216, Intel scores 20052, a 45.7% margin. This is the single largest delta in the entire comparison and suggests AMD's instruction handling is substantially more efficient for this workload. Random string sorting also favors AMD heavily, 46759 against 38546, a 21.3% win. Find prime numbers goes to AMD by 14.5%, 166 against 145. The multithread PassMark test, which might be expected to favor Intel's 20 cores, goes to AMD by 7.1%, 32733 against 30571.

Intel's wins are concentrated in math throughput. Floating-point math is its best result: 79042 against 63332, a 19.9% lead. Integer math follows with 113854 against 103330, a 9.2% margin. Physics goes to Intel by 12.7%, 1946 against 1699. The only single-thread win for Intel is PassMark single-thread, 3905 against 3849, a 1.4% edge. That is the narrowest margin in the entire head-to-head set. It is worth remembering Intel wins neither Cinebench single-core test, so its single-thread PassMark win does not carry over to rendering workloads.

Specification Differences

The core count difference is the most obvious spec gap: AMD has 8 cores and 16 threads, Intel has 20 cores and 28 threads. Base clocks differ dramatically, with AMD at 3.80 GHz and Intel at 1.30 GHz, while boost clocks are close, 5.30 GHz against 5.20 GHz. TDP differs by 30 W, with AMD at 65 W and Intel at 35 W. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700.

Shared L3 is 32 MB for AMD and 33 MB for Intel.

Memory support is a key differentiator. AMD supports only DDR5, dual-channel, with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with no bandwidth recorded. Both have ECC support. PCIe lanes differ: AMD has Gen 5 with 24 CPU lanes, Intel has Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ, Radeon Graphics on AMD, UHD Graphics 770 on Intel.
