AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 as the clear performance leader between these two processors. The AMD part holds an average benchmark score of 28,128 across all tested workloads, placing it in the 80th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i5-14401TE, by contrast, has a recorded percentile of 50 and no average score, as it has no benchmark entries in the database. This means the AMD chip is the only one of the pair with measurable performance data, and that data places it well above the midpoint of all recorded CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 is the choice for any workload where measured performance matters, since every score in the database belongs to it. The Intel Core i5-14401TE cannot be compared on benchmark results because none exist for it. The Intel part does offer a larger L3 cache, a higher TDP envelope, and a desktop socket, but without benchmark data, those specifications do not translate into any recorded performance advantage. For users who require verified numbers, the AMD processor is the only option with evidence backing it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm process, fabricated by TSMC. Its codename is Gorgon Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process, fabricated by Intel. Its codename is Raptor Lake-R, and it belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, so thread counts are identical. The cache structures differ significantly. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip carries substantially more L3 cache, which could help in workloads that repeatedly access a large working set, though no benchmark data confirms this.

The memory support differs. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs. The AMD processor offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), which is a newer and wider PCIe interface on paper. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The market segment and socket differ. AMD is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8, while Intel is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The Intel part has a larger die size of 215 mm², while the AMD die size is not recorded. The TDP ratings differ as well: AMD is rated at 28, Intel at 45.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and the win counts for both parts are zero. This is because the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores recorded at all, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 has a full set of scores across multiple test suites.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435, the recorded scores show a consistent pattern. In Cinebench tests, it scores 1,686 in R15 multicore, 260 in R15 single-core, 11,333 in R23 multicore, and 1,816 in R23 single-core. In PassMark tests, it scores 225,374 in data compression, 11,110 in data encryption, 16,197 in extended instructions, 58 in find prime numbers, 40,627 in floating point math, 61,026 in integer math, 19,000 in multithread, 1,075 in physics, 24,891 in random string sorting, and 3,734 in single-thread (also recorded as 3,734 in the singlethread field).

Since the Intel part has no scores, there are no direct comparisons to make. The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database, however, provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i5-13490F has an average score of 28,185, which is 0.2% higher than the AMD chip. The Intel Core i5-14500T has an average score of 28,065, putting it 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE scores 28,054, which is 0.3% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G scores 28,032, also 0.3% lower. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 sits in a tightly packed cluster of similarly performing processors.

The AMD part's percentile of 80 versus the Intel part's percentile of 50 is the most direct statistical indicator available. The AMD chip outperforms 80% of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel chip sits at the median. That is a meaningful separation, even without direct head-to-head scores.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 wins in every category where measured data exists. It has a recorded average benchmark score of 28,128, a percentile of 80, and a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. It also offers a lower TDP of 28, which suggests it can deliver its measured performance within a smaller power envelope. Its memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, and it supports LPDDR5X in addition to DDR5, which gives it flexibility for mobile memory configurations. The AMD part's 4 nm process node from TSMC represents a more advanced manufacturing technology compared to Intel's 10 nm node.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins in specification areas that the database records but cannot verify through benchmarks. It has a larger L3 cache at 20 MB shared, which is five times the AMD part's 4 MB. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which broadens the compatible memory market. It has a newer PCIe interface, Gen 5 with 16 lanes, versus AMD's Gen 4 with 14 lanes. It has a higher TDP of 45, which may allow for sustained operation under load, though no benchmark data confirms this. It is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the AMD part is mobile on AMD Socket FP8, so the Intel chip targets a different physical installation environment.

For mobile or low-power applications, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 is the stronger choice based on the data. Its lower TDP, recorded memory bandwidth, and benchmark scores support this. For desktop applications where cache size, PCIe generation, and DDR4 compatibility matter, the Intel Core i5-14401TE offers those specifications, but without any performance scores to substantiate a performance win. The data ultimately favors AMD wherever measured performance is the deciding factor.
