The database places the AMD part at the 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 80th percentile. The average benchmark score tells a similar story: 46187 for AMD versus 28065 for Intel. However, these averages draw from different test sets. The AMD part carries Passmark tests only, while the Intel part includes Cinebench and Geekbench results, which may skew direct comparisons.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14500T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, built on Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process from Intel and a 215 mm² die.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads. Despite having fewer cores, the AMD part wins multithreaded Passmark by 2.5%, suggesting higher per-core efficiency.

Cache configurations diverge. Both use 80 KB L1 per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB L2 per core, while Intel uses 1.25 MB per core. L3 cache shows a significant difference: 8 MB for AMD versus 24 MB shared for Intel. The larger L3 on Intel should help with data reuse, yet AMD still wins several cache-sensitive workloads.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 only with dual-channel memory and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but the database records no bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, offering newer and wider connectivity.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The AMD part has a 2.00 GHz base clock and 4.80 GHz boost clock. The Intel part has a 1.70 GHz base clock and also 4.80 GHz boost clock. The lower base clock on Intel likely helps its 35 W TDP, compared to 65 W for AMD.

The AMD part uses an unlocked multiplier, while Intel locks it. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 840M for AMD versus UHD Graphics 770 for Intel.

Release timing differs: the Intel part appeared on 2024-01-07, while the AMD part arrived on 2026-02-28. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD part records no launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The data suggests the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G suits workloads that favor single-thread responsiveness, data compression, and instruction-level parallelism. Its 8.7% lead in single-thread performance and 28.7% lead in extended instructions indicate advantages in office productivity, web rendering, and application responsiveness.

The Intel Core i5-14500T targets floating-point-heavy and integer-heavy workloads. Its 22.4% lead in floating point math and 12% lead in integer math point toward scientific computation, financial modeling, and number-crunching tasks. The encryption win at 11.8% adds another niche.

The multithreaded result remains close, 2.5% in AMD's favor, despite Intel having 14 cores versus 6. The AMD part's higher clock efficiency appears to compensate for the core deficit. However, the Intel part's 35 W TDP versus 65 W for AMD suggests it fits power-constrained environments better.

The percentile gap, 89th versus 80th, indicates the AMD part sits higher in the overall CPU distribution. The nearest rivals for AMD include the Intel Core i9-13900HX, Core Ultra 5 235, and AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, all within 0.5% of its average score. Intel's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE and Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, all within 0.2%.

For desktop builders, the AMD part offers the higher single-thread ceiling and newer socket (AM5). The Intel part provides a mature platform (Socket 1700) with more cores and dual memory compatibility. The locked multiplier on Intel may limit enthusiast tuning.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The biggest AMD win appears in extended instructions, where the Ryzen AI 5 440G scores 20648 versus 16043 for Intel, a 28.7% margin. This test often reflects compiler optimizations and SIMD efficiency, and the Zen 5 architecture appears well-suited here.

Data compression shows a substantial AMD lead: 292735 versus 262417. The 11.6% gap suggests memory bandwidth and cache efficiency matter. The AMD part's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth likely contributes, though Intel's 24 MB L3 should help data reuse.

Random string sorting favors AMD by 9.3% (31106 vs 28462). This operation stresses memory latency and pointer chasing, where AMD's design appears stronger despite Intel's larger cache.

Prime number generation gives AMD an 11.1% win (90 vs 81). This workload is highly dependent on integer division and branch prediction, areas where Zen 5 shows an edge.

Multithreaded performance lands within 2.5% (23487 vs 22910) for AMD. Given Intel has 14 cores versus 6, the result indicates AMD's per-core throughput is substantially higher. Physics simulation follows a similar pattern: 1329 versus 1288, a 3.2% AMD lead.

Single-thread performance goes AMD's way by 8.7% (4060 vs 3736). This aligns with the boost clocks (both 4.80 GHz) but suggests higher instructions-per-clock on the AMD side.

The Intel wins are concentrated in math-heavy workloads. Floating point math shows the largest Intel margin at 22.4% (58869 vs 45711). This could reflect Intel's AVX implementation or memory layout. Integer math gives Intel a 12% win (80922 vs 71251), and data encryption delivers an 11.8% win (15410 vs 13585).

The overall win count stands at 8 for AMD and 3 for Intel. The margins tell the story: AMD's wins range from 2.5% to 28.7%, while Intel's range from 11.8% to 22.4%. AMD wins more tests but with varied margins; Intel wins fewer tests but with larger margins on average.
