AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible across the standard test suite. However, the available data for the AMD part provides a clear reference point for its performance class.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS achieves an average benchmark score of 39,603 across all recorded tests. Its percentile ranking places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of recorded processors. The Intel Core i9-14901TE, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of zero, indicating that no performance data has been collected for this part in the current database.

In multi-threaded workloads, the AMD processor scores 14,784 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,458 in Cinebench R15 multi-core. These results position it among capable 8-core, 16-thread processors. The single-core results are 1,724 in Cinebench R23 and 271.5 in Cinebench R15, showing solid per-thread performance for a mobile-oriented chip.

PassMark results for the AMD part show 26,646 in multithreaded performance and 3,692 in single-thread performance. The data compression test records 311,199, while data encryption reaches 18,838. Extended instruction workloads score 22,298, and floating point math hits 55,739. Integer math reaches 93,342, physics scores 1,351, and random string sorting records 37,922. Prime number finding scores 84.

Since the Intel part lacks any benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison is limited to the architecture and specification differences documented in the database. The AMD part's 87th percentile ranking versus the Intel part's 50th percentile ranking reflects data availability rather than direct performance equivalence, as the Intel score of zero represents an absence of measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS demonstrates strengths in every benchmark category where data exists. Its multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 14,784 indicates strong sustained throughput for parallel workloads, while the single-core score of 1,724 shows competitive per-thread responsiveness. The PassMark multithread score of 26,646 reinforces the multi-threaded capability, and the integer math result of 93,342 suggests solid general-purpose computation.

For the Intel Core i9-14901TE, no benchmark wins can be established from the database because no scores are recorded. The specification sheet shows a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, which is higher than the AMD part's 5.10 GHz boost, but without benchmark data, any performance advantage remains theoretical. The Intel part's larger L3 cache of 36 MB shared versus 16 MB shared on the AMD part could favor cache-sensitive workloads, but this is not confirmed by measurements.

The AMD part's integrated Radeon 780M graphics provide a known quantity for GPU-adjacent tasks, while the Intel UHD Graphics 770 has no recorded performance data. The AMD memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s with dual-channel DDR5 support offers a measurable advantage in memory-intensive scenarios, though the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with no listed bandwidth figure.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel. These process nodes represent different generations of fabrication technology, with the AMD part using a smaller process.

The AMD processor contains 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel processor has no transistor count listed but uses a 257 mm² die. The AMD part's smaller die with a higher transistor density reflects the more advanced manufacturing process.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB 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. The Intel processor offers more cache at every level, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

Both processors feature 8 cores and 16 threads, matching core and thread counts. The AMD part uses a base clock of 3.30 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel part uses a base clock of 2.30 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part has a higher boost ceiling but a lower base clock.

Memory support differs: the AMD part supports DDR5 only with dual-channel configuration and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel configuration, though no bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The Verdict

The recorded data strongly supports the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS for anyone needing verified performance. Its 87th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 39,603 come from a full suite of tests covering multi-core, single-core, encryption, compression, and math workloads. The 28 W TDP makes it suitable for power-constrained systems, and the 4 nm TSMC process with 25,000 million transistors indicates a modern, efficient design.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE presents a specification-only profile. Its 45 W TDP, 5.50 GHz boost clock, and 36 MB L3 cache suggest strong potential, especially for cache-sensitive desktop workloads. The desktop socket and Gen 5 PCIe support with 16 lanes provide modern connectivity options. However, without recorded benchmark scores, its actual performance cannot be quantified from the database.

For builders who require measured results, the AMD part is the only choice with actual data. For those evaluating the Intel part, the specifications show a higher boost clock and more cache, but the absence of benchmark data means any performance claims remain unverified. The AMD part's mobile segment and 28 W TDP suit portable or low-power builds, while the Intel part's desktop segment and 45 W TDP fit traditional desktop systems.

The choice depends on whether verified performance or listed specifications take priority. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS delivers confirmed results across every benchmark category. The Intel Core i9-14901TE offers a compelling specification sheet but no measured outcomes in the current database.
