Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G uses the Gorgon Point codename from the Ryzen AI 400 generation, built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 4 nm process with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, with the Raptor Lake architecture and Raptor Lake-R codename. It uses a 10 nm process from Intel and has a die size of 257 mm².

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel chip has 20 cores and 28 threads, a much larger configuration. Both have an L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 2 MB per core. L3 cache totals are also different, with AMD at 8 MB and Intel at 33 MB shared.

Clock speeds show a modest difference. The AMD base clock is 2.00 GHz with a boost of 4.80 GHz. The Intel base clock is 2.10 GHz with a boost of 5.40 GHz. Both have a TDP of 65, making them comparable in power envelope. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel chip is locked.

Memory support differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, on a dual-channel bus with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, though its memory bandwidth figure is not recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities are notably different. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD chip uses the AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700.

Release dates are separated by roughly two years. The Intel Core i7-14700 was released on 2024-01-07. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G was released on 2026-02-28. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. Production status for both is listed as Active.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the Intel Core i7-14700 is the stronger performer across every recorded test. The multithreaded workloads show the largest gaps, which aligns with the core count difference: 20 cores and 28 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel chip leads by 41.7% in multithread score, 57.2% in floating point math, and 53.9% in integer math. These are substantial margins that will matter in compute-heavy tasks.

The single-thread result is the only area where the AMD part comes close. A 4.2% gap in single-thread score suggests that per-core performance is similar, but the Intel chip still holds the advantage. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G has a higher percentile ranking among its nearest rivals, sitting at 89, but the Intel part sits at 91. The Intel chip's average score of 52301 is 13.2% higher than the AMD chip's 46187.

The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which gives it broader platform compatibility. The AMD part is limited to DDR5. PCIe Gen 5 on the Intel side versus Gen 4 on the AMD side is another differentiator. The Intel chip also has a much larger L3 cache at 33 MB versus 8 MB. The AMD chip does offer an unlocked multiplier, which the Intel chip does not.
