Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is built on the Zen 5 architecture under the Krackan Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation that mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process manufactured by TSMC. The die size is 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401TE is based on the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series with a Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It uses a 10 nm process made by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm².

The AMD chip integrates a Radeon 840M GPU, while the Intel chip includes UHD Graphics 730. Both are locked processors with no unlocked multiplier. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 targets the mobile market segment with an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support differs significantly. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel configuration, and the recorded memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported on the Intel chip but not on the AMD chip.

PCIe capabilities also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core i5-14401TE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), which represents a newer generation of interconnect.

Cache layouts are structured differently between the two architectures. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 on the Intel part is a notable architectural distinction.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries in the database, and its average benchmark score is recorded as 0. Its percentile ranking among all CPUs is 50.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, by contrast, has extensive benchmark data. Its percentile ranking among all CPUs is 78, and its average benchmark score is 25981. The recorded Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12532, and the single-core score is 1915.5. In Geekbench, the multicore score is 9165 and the single-core score is 2140.

The AMD part has a set of nearest rivals in the database that help contextualize its performance. The Intel Core i7-14701TE has an average score of 26013, which is 0.1% higher than the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS has an average score of 26106, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has an average score of 25880, which is 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i7-11700K has an average score of 25812, which is 0.7% lower.

These figures indicate that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 sits very close to several established desktop and mobile parts, with all nearest rivals within less than a single percentage point of its average score. The largest gap in the recorded rival set is the Intel Core i7-11700K at 0.7% behind.

The Passmark suite provides additional detail for the AMD chip. The multithread score is 19506, the single-thread score is 3683, integer math scores 63078, floating point math scores 39967, data compression scores 229796, data encryption scores 11470, extended instructions score 16440, find prime numbers scores 72, physics scores 1095, and random string sorting scores 24970.

Because the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmarks, direct numerical comparison between the two specific processors is not possible from the database. The AMD chip's performance profile can be assessed against the broader CPU population through its 78th percentile ranking, while the Intel chip sits at the 50th percentile. The 28-point percentile gap indicates that the AMD part places significantly higher among all CPUs in the database.

The Verdict

The data presents an incomplete comparison because the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 has a full benchmark profile and ranks in the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25981. The Intel part ranks in the 50th percentile with an average score of 0 in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 shows a performance class well above the median CPU. Its closest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14701TE at 26013 average score, only 0.1% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS at 26106, 0.5% ahead. These tight margins place the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 in a competitive band with higher-tier desktop and mobile processors.

For users selecting between these two specific parts, the recorded data favors the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 on several fronts. It offers a higher boost clock at 4.80 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. It operates at a lower TDP of 28W versus 45W, which suggests better efficiency for the same core and thread count. It uses a more advanced 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm process. It also supports faster memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s, a figure not recorded for the Intel chip.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE holds advantages in cache capacity with 20 MB of shared L3 cache versus 8 MB, and it supports ECC memory, which the AMD chip does not. It also supports PCIe Gen 5 versus PCIe Gen 4, and it supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, which may matter for platform flexibility.

The Intel chip is a desktop part on Socket 1700, while the AMD chip is a mobile part on Socket FP8. These are different platforms with different target systems, so the socket and market segment differences are primary considerations.

The specification data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 delivers higher boost clocks and lower power draw, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE provides more cache, ECC support, and newer PCIe generation. Without benchmark scores for the Intel chip, the database cannot confirm which part is faster in real workloads. The AMD chip's 78th percentile ranking and extensive benchmark results demonstrate a strong performance profile, and its nearest rivals all fall within a narrow band of its average score. The Intel chip's 50th percentile ranking, based on no recorded scores, cannot be interpreted as a measured performance result.
