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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no recorded benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE. Every measured performance value in the database belongs exclusively to the Intel Core i7-14700. This means the head-to-head comparison is entirely one-sided: all 19 recorded test results for the Intel part stand without a competing AMD figure.

The Intel Core i7-14700 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28,398 points and a single-core score of 2,080 points. In Geekbench, it records 17,087 for multi-core and 2,409 for single-core. The PassMark suite shows a multi-thread score of 40,318 and a single-thread score of 4,236. Across the full set of measured workloads, the Intel chip achieves an average benchmark score of 52,301.

The absence of AMD data means no delta percentages can be calculated. The database shows zero wins for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE and zero wins for the Intel Core i7-14700 in direct head-to-head tests, because no paired benchmark runs exist. The Intel part's nearest rivals, all with similar average scores, are the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H at 52,431 (0.2% behind), the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52,121 (0.3% ahead), the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52,073 (0.4% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X at 51,947 (0.7% ahead).

The Intel Core i7-14700 sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database. This places it firmly in the upper tier of desktop processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure is based on no benchmark data, so it reflects only the database's default placement rather than measured performance.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The chip combines 6 cores and 12 threads, with a core configuration that the database does not break down into performance and efficiency groups. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core, the L2 cache is 1 MB per core, and the L3 cache totals 4 MB. The integrated graphics are Radeon 840M.

The Intel Core i7-14700 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The die size is 257 mm². It has 20 cores and 28 threads, combining performance and efficiency cores in a hybrid arrangement, though the database does not specify the exact split. The L1 cache is 80 KB per core, the L2 cache is 2 MB per core, and the L3 cache is 33 MB shared across all cores. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770, which shares the die with the CPU cores rather than using a separate chiplet.

The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. The AMD part uses a smaller manufacturing process, which typically allows for higher transistor density and lower power draw per unit of area. The Intel part compensates with a much larger physical die and a higher core count. The cache hierarchy also differs significantly. The Intel chip has double the L2 cache per core and more than eight times the total L3 cache: 33 MB shared versus 4 MB for AMD.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor is limited to DDR5, while the Intel processor can run either DDR4 or DDR5. This gives the Intel platform more flexibility for builders who want to reuse older memory. PCIe support also differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 10 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part offers both a newer PCIe standard and more lanes for expansion devices.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field in the database:

• Cores: 6 (AMD) versus 20 (Intel)
• Threads: 12 (AMD) versus 28 (Intel)
• Base clock: 2.00 GHz (AMD) versus 2.10 GHz (Intel)
• Boost clock: 4.50 GHz (AMD) versus 5.40 GHz (Intel)
• TDP: 35 W (AMD) versus 65 W (Intel)
• Socket: AMD Socket AM5 versus Intel Socket 1700
• Process node: 4 nm TSMC versus 10 nm Intel
• L2 cache: 1 MB per core (AMD) versus 2 MB per core (Intel)
• L3 cache: 4 MB (AMD) versus 33 MB shared (Intel)
• Memory support: DDR5 only (AMD) versus DDR4 and DDR5 (Intel)
• PCIe: Gen 4, 10 lanes (AMD) versus Gen 5, 16 lanes (Intel)
• Integrated graphics: Radeon 840M versus UHD Graphics 770
• Multiplier unlock: Unlocked (AMD) versus locked (Intel)
• Release date: 2026-02-28 (AMD) versus 2024-01-07 (Intel)
• Die size: Not recorded (AMD) versus 257 mm² (Intel)
• Memory bandwidth: 89.6 GB/s (AMD) versus not recorded (Intel)
• Launch MSRP: Not recorded (AMD) versus $384 (Intel)

The TDP difference is pronounced. The AMD chip draws 35 W, which is roughly half the Intel part's 65 W rating. This makes the AMD processor more suited to compact or low-power builds, while the Intel processor requires more substantial cooling and power delivery. The Intel part also carries a launch MSRP of $384, while the AMD part has no recorded launch price in the database.

The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. The AMD release date is about two years later than the Intel release date. The Intel part's die size is recorded at 257 mm², while the AMD die size is not recorded.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on workload and power targets. The Intel Core i7-14700 has all of the measured performance in the database. Its average benchmark score of 52,301 and 91st percentile ranking place it among the top desktop processors. The 20-core, 28-thread configuration with a 5.40 GHz boost clock and 33 MB L3 cache provides the resources for heavily threaded workloads. Every recorded score, from Cinebench R23 multi-core at 28,398 to PassMark multi-thread at 40,318, comes from this part.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE has no recorded benchmark scores. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration, 4.50 GHz boost clock, 4 MB L3 cache, and 35 W TDP indicate a low-power design, but the database does not contain data to confirm how it performs. The 50th percentile placement is a default value, not a measured result. Anyone choosing this processor for a build must rely on information outside this database, since no performance data exists here.

For users who need confirmed multi-core performance, the Intel Core i7-14700 is the only part with data to back its claims. For users who prioritize low power draw and compact cooling, the AMD part's 35 W TDP is the lower figure, but its actual performance level is unverified in this database.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Core i7-14700: The recorded data shows wins across all measured categories. In rendering, Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 28,398 and single-core scores 2,080. In general-purpose compute, Geekbench multi-core scores 17,087 and single-core scores 2,409. In PassMark tests, the Intel chip leads in integer math at 154,535, floating point math at 106,716, data encryption at 29,601, extended instructions at 28,388, random string sorting at 54,340, and physics at 2,226. The multi-thread score of 40,318 and single-thread score of 4,236 round out the suite. The 91st percentile ranking confirms its position among the top 9% of all CPUs in the database.

AMD Ryzen AI 5 435GE: The database records zero wins for this processor. No benchmark scores exist, so no workload category can be credited to it. The only areas where it leads are specification-based: a lower TDP of 35 W versus 65 W, a smaller 4 nm process node versus 10 nm, and an unlocked multiplier versus a locked one. These are design advantages, not measured performance wins. The 50th percentile placement is not derived from any benchmark result. In the absence of recorded data, the AMD part cannot be assigned a single winning workload category.
