AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G vs Intel Core i5-14400F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The PassMark test suite reveals a clear split between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G and the Intel Core i5-14400F, with Intel taking 7 of the 11 recorded tests but AMD securing the most decisive single-core victory. The largest margin belongs to Intel in floating point math, where the Core i5-14400F scores 61,319 against the Ryzen AI 5 440G's 45,711, a 25.5% advantage. That gap is the widest in either direction and underscores Intel's strength in workloads that rely heavily on floating-point throughput.

Intel also wins integer math by a substantial margin, posting 81,524 versus 71,251, a 12.6% lead. Data encryption follows a similar pattern: the Core i5-14400F scores 16,949 compared to 13,585, a 19.8% difference. Multithreaded performance favors Intel as well, with 25,470 against 23,487, a 7.8% edge. Physics simulation results show Intel ahead at 1,523 versus 1,329, a 12.7% gap, and random string sorting lands at 32,680 for Intel versus 31,106 for AMD, a 4.8% difference. Data compression rounds out the Intel wins at 315,521 versus 292,735, a 7.2% margin.

AMD's strongest result comes in single-thread performance, where the Ryzen AI 5 440G scores 4,060 against Intel's 3,701, a 9.7% lead. That is the same result recorded under both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread test labels, confirming consistency. AMD also wins extended instructions at 20,648 versus 19,937, a 3.6% margin, and prime number finding at 90 versus 86, a 4.7% edge.

The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 46,187, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. The Intel part averages 32,279, which sits in the 83rd percentile. Despite Intel winning more individual tests, the AMD processor's average is higher because the PassMark average includes a broader set of measurements beyond the head-to-head list.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 4 nm process node, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14400F is part of the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belongs to the Core i5 generation labeled Raptor Lake Refresh. Intel fabricates this chip on a 10 nm process at its own foundry, and the die measures 215 mm².

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 10 cores and 16 threads. Cache layouts also diverge. Both processors share the same L1 cache size at 80 KB per core, but L2 differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 1.25 MB per core. L3 cache is a major differentiator, with AMD offering 8 MB total and Intel offering 20 MB shared.

Memory support shows a key compatibility split. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel does not report a bandwidth figure in the database. Both CPUs support ECC memory.

PCI Express connectivity differs by generation and lane count. AMD uses PCIe Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, while Intel uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also separate the two: the AMD part includes a Radeon 840M iGPU, while the Intel Core i5-14400F has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A.

Process technology gives AMD an advantage in density, as its 4 nm node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node, and the AMD die is physically smaller at 195 mm² versus 215 mm². The AMD processor is multiplier-unlocked, while the Intel part is locked. Both are active production parts, but their release dates differ: the AMD part entered the database with a release date in February 2026, while the Intel part was released in January 2024.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several key specification fields. Core count: AMD has 6 cores, Intel has 10. Thread count: AMD has 12, Intel has 16. Base clock: AMD runs at 2.00 GHz, Intel at 2.50 GHz. Boost clock: AMD reaches 4.80 GHz, Intel reaches 4.70 GHz. TDP is identical at 65 watts for both.

Socket compatibility is entirely separate. AMD uses Socket AM5, while Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD processor is based on the Gorgon Point codename with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation label, while Intel uses Raptor Lake with the Raptor Lake-R codename and a Raptor Lake Refresh generation label. Process node: AMD is 4 nm from TSMC, Intel is 10 nm from its own foundry. Die size: AMD measures 195 mm², Intel measures 215 mm².

Cache specifications differ in L2 and L3. AMD provides 1 MB L2 per core and 8 MB L3 total. Intel provides 1.25 MB L2 per core and 20 MB shared L3. L1 is the same at 80 KB per core.

PCIe: AMD uses Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes, Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics: AMD includes Radeon 840M, Intel has none. The AMD part is multiplier-unlocked; the Intel part is not. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $196. The AMD part has no listed launch MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is the choice for single-thread performance. Its 4,060 score in single-thread tests is 9.7% higher than Intel's, which matters for lightly threaded applications, older games, and any workload that depends on one or two cores scaling well. The AMD part also wins extended instructions, which suggests a slight edge in workloads that use advanced x86 instruction sets. Prime number finding, often associated with integer-heavy and latency-sensitive tasks, also goes to AMD, although the margin is narrow at 4.7%.

The Intel Core i5-14400F dominates in throughput-oriented tasks. Its wins in floating point math, integer math, and data encryption indicate strength in scientific computing, financial modeling, and encryption-heavy services. The 25.5% floating point lead is particularly notable for software that relies on SIMD-style floating-point operations. Multithreaded workloads clearly favor Intel: a 7.8% lead in multithread score, backed by 10 cores and 16 threads versus AMD's 6 cores and 12 threads, makes the Intel part more suitable for rendering, video encoding, compilation, and other parallel workloads. Physics simulation, which often scales with core count and cache, also goes to Intel by 12.7%.

Data compression and random string sorting, both common in database and file-handling tasks, favor Intel by 7.2% and 4.8% respectively. These wins give Intel a broader profile for mixed server-like workloads. The AMD part, however, holds a higher overall average benchmark score of 46,187 versus Intel's 32,279, and a higher percentile ranking at 89 versus 83, indicating that its more modern process node and single-thread efficiency contribute to a stronger overall baseline across the full PassMark suite.

In terms of platform features, AMD offers integrated graphics, which makes it a viable option for systems without a discrete GPU. Intel requires a separate graphics card. AMD also supports only DDR5 memory, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving Intel more flexibility for builds that reuse existing DDR4 modules. Intel's PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes provides higher bandwidth capacity for storage and expansion compared to AMD's PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes. AMD's unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, while Intel's locked multiplier does not. The Intel part carries a $196 launch MSRP, while no launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD part.
