AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 vs Intel Core i7-14700T Comparison

Benchmark records in the database compare the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 and the Intel Core i7-14700T across 15 head-to-head tests. The Intel part wins every one of those tests. Its average benchmark score is 41914, while the AMD chip records 28128. The margins range from a narrow 4.4% gap in a PassMark single-thread test to a 60% deficit in another workload, but the direction is consistent in every recorded measurement.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14700T is listed as the winner in all 15 head-to-head rows. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 25980 and AMD scores 11333, a delta of -56.4%. That is the largest Cinebench gap in the set and the second-largest overall. Cinebench R23 single-core follows a similar pattern: Intel 3667, AMD 1816, a -50.5% delta. Cinebench R15 also favors Intel in both runs, with multi-core at 2618 against 1686 (-35.6%) and single-core at 369 against 260 (-29.5%).

The largest relative gap anywhere is PassMark find prime numbers. Intel records 145, AMD records 58, and the delta is -60%. PassMark floating point math shows Intel at 79042 versus AMD at 40627, a -48.6% delta. PassMark integer math gives Intel 113854 against AMD 61026, a -46.4% delta. Data encryption moves in the same direction: Intel 21277, AMD 11110, -47.8%. PassMark physics records Intel 1946 and AMD 1075, a -44.8% delta.

Multithreaded PassMark results put Intel at 30571 and AMD at 19000, a -37.8% delta. Data compression shows Intel 354216 versus AMD 225374, -36.4%. Random string sorting gives Intel 38546 and AMD 24891, a -35.4% delta. Extended instructions produce the second-closest result: Intel 20052, AMD 16197, a -19.2% delta.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700T wins in every benchmark category represented in the head-to-head set. Multi-thread rendering is a clear Intel strength: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 25980 against 11333, and Cinebench R15 multi-core scores 2618 against 1686. Single-thread workloads also go to Intel, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3667 versus 1816, Cinebench R15 single-core at 369 versus 260, and PassMark single-thread at 3905 versus 3734.

Math and encryption workloads are heavily Intel-favored. PassMark integer math records 113854 against 61026, floating point math records 79042 against 40627, data encryption records 21277 against 11110, and find prime numbers records 145 against 58. Data movement tasks follow the same trend: data compression at 354216 against 225374 and random string sorting at 38546 against 24891. PassMark physics and multithread results also favor Intel, with scores of 1946 against 1075 and 30571 against 19000, respectively. Extended instructions are the closest non-single-thread category, but Intel still leads at 20052 against 16197.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 has no recorded benchmark wins in this comparison. Its remaining distinctions are platform-level: it is the mobile part, the lower-TDP part, and the smaller-process-node part. In the 15 measured workloads, however, the Intel Core i7-14700T takes every win.
