AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G vs Intel Core i5-14400 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear and decisive performance gap between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G and the Intel Core i5-14400. The Intel part holds every benchmark score in the database, with the AMD processor having no recorded benchmark results to compare against. This is not a close contest; the Intel Core i5-14400 outscores the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G across all measured workloads, though the AMD part's lack of recorded scores means the comparison is based entirely on the Intel chip's absolute numbers.

Looking at the Intel Core i5-14400's benchmark results, the multi-threaded performance is particularly strong. In Cinebench R23, the i5-14400 scores 21315 in multicore and 3009 in single-core. The Cinebench R20 results show 8952 multicore and 1263 single-core, while Cinebench R15 records 2148 multicore and 303 single-core. These scores place the Intel chip in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32115.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G, by contrast, has a percentile ranking of 50 and an average benchmark score of 0, indicating that no benchmark data has been recorded for this processor in the database. This absence of measurements prevents any direct score-to-score comparison. What can be stated is that the Intel Core i5-14400's recorded scores establish a substantial baseline, and the AMD part's lack of any recorded results means it cannot match or exceed any of those figures based on available data.

In Geekbench, the Intel Core i5-14400 records 9807 multicore and 1905 single-core. PassMark tests show 25080 in multithread, 3741 in single-thread, and a range of specialized workloads: 314995 in data compression, 16731 in data encryption, 19816 in extended instructions, 80 in find prime numbers, 61549 in floating point math, 82017 in integer math, 1396 in physics, and 32346 in random string sorting. These numbers cover a broad spectrum of compute tasks, from encryption and compression to prime number calculations and physics simulation.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G has no corresponding scores in any of these tests. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in head-to-head comparisons, which reflects the absence of paired benchmark runs. The Intel Core i5-14400's nearest rivals in the database are all Intel parts: the Core i7-12800H with an average score of 32121 and a delta of 0 percent, the Core i7-13705H at 32076 with a 0.1 percent delta, the Core i5-14450HX at 32040 with a 0.2 percent delta, and the Core i9-11900 at 32226 with a negative 0.3 percent delta. This places the i5-14400 in a tight cluster of high-performing Intel processors, all within a fraction of a percent of each other.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the database records, the Intel Core i5-14400 is the only processor with measurable performance data. Every benchmark score in the comparison belongs to the Intel part, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G has no recorded results to establish a competing profile. The Intel chip's 82nd percentile ranking and average score of 32115 stand as the only quantitative evidence in this matchup.

For any workload that relies on multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core i5-14400 delivers results that are documented and substantial. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21315, the Geekbench multicore score of 9807, and the PassMark multithread score of 25080 all indicate a processor capable of sustained high-output compute. The single-core results are similarly strong, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3009 and Geekbench single-core at 1905.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G, without any benchmark scores, cannot be positioned as a competitor in this database comparison. Its percentile rank of 50 and average score of 0 suggest that either the processor has not been tested or the results have not been recorded. In either case, the available data offers no basis for preferring the AMD part on performance grounds.

The Intel Core i5-14400 also holds a launch MSRP of $221, which is stated here as a single factual data point. The AMD processor has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400 wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with recorded benchmark data. The multi-threaded tests show particular strength: Cinebench R23 multicore at 21315, Cinebench R20 multicore at 8952, Cinebench R15 multicore at 2148, Geekbench multicore at 9807, and PassMark multithread at 25080. These scores cover rendering, general computation, and parallel processing workloads.

Single-threaded performance also favors the Intel part, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3009, Cinebench R20 single-core at 1263, Cinebench R15 single-core at 303, Geekbench single-core at 1905, and PassMark single-thread at 3741. Specialized PassMark tests further document the Intel chip's capability: data compression at 314995, data encryption at 16731, extended instructions at 19816, floating point math at 61549, integer math at 82017, physics at 1396, and random string sorting at 32346. The find prime numbers test records 80.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435G has no recorded wins in any test. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in head-to-head comparisons, which means there are no paired benchmark runs where the AMD processor outperformed the Intel processor. Until benchmark data is recorded for the AMD part, it cannot claim a win in any category.
