Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE uses a 10 nm process at Intel. The die size differs substantially: AMD measures 195 mm², Intel measures 257 mm². The AMD chip is based on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation with a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. Intel's part is Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. Both CPUs provide 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core, while Intel offers 2 MB per core. For L3, AMD has 8 MB total, whereas Intel has 33 MB shared. This larger L3 pool on Intel could benefit workloads with high data reuse, though the benchmark results do not consistently favor Intel in such scenarios.

Memory support differs: AMD supports DDR5 only with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, but the database does not list a bandwidth figure for Intel. PCIe connectivity also differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel's PCIe implementation is newer and wider.

Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while Intel's is locked. Launch MSRP is not recorded for either CPU. Production status is Active for both, with AMD's release date in February 2026 and Intel's in June 2024.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G wins eight of the eleven recorded head-to-head tests. The largest margin comes in passmark_single_thread, where AMD scores 4060 against Intel's 2637, a 54% advantage. This single-thread dominance is consistent with the passmark_singlethread result, which shows the identical 54% delta. The AMD chip also excels in passmark_extended_instructions, scoring 20648 versus 14354, a 43.8% lead. In passmark_random_string_sorting, AMD records 31106 against 22760, a 36.7% edge. passmark_data_compression shows AMD at 292735 versus 220520, a 32.7% win. passmark_multithread goes to AMD at 23487 versus 20042, a 17.2% margin. passmark_data_encryption favors AMD at 13585 versus 11699, a 16.1% lead. Finally, passmark_integer_math shows AMD ahead at 71251 versus 65792, an 8.3% gain.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE takes three tests. The biggest is passmark_find_prime_numbers, where Intel scores 143 versus AMD's 90, a 37.1% advantage. In passmark_physics, Intel records 1860 against AMD's 1329, a 28.5% lead. passmark_floating_point_math goes to Intel at 50219 versus 45711, a 9% margin.

These results indicate a clear split: AMD dominates general-purpose integer, encryption, compression, sorting, and single-thread workloads, while Intel holds specialized advantages in prime-number generation, physics simulation, and floating-point math. The average benchmark score reflects this: AMD at 46187 versus Intel at 26013, a substantial overall gap.

The TDP difference is notable: Intel draws 45 W versus AMD's 65 W, yet Intel still loses the multithread test. Intel's higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.80 GHz does not translate into single-thread superiority, as AMD wins that test by 54%. The process node gap (4 nm vs. 10 nm) likely explains AMD's efficiency per core, though the database does not include power measurements beyond TDP.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440G is the stronger overall processor based on the recorded measurements. Its average benchmark score of 46187 is roughly 78% higher than Intel's 26013, and it wins eight of eleven head-to-head tests. The 54% single-thread advantage over Intel is the defining result, indicating that AMD's Zen 5 architecture delivers substantially better per-core performance despite Intel's higher boost clock. The multithread win (17.2%) is also significant because Intel has more cores and threads (8/16 vs. 6/12). Buyers prioritizing general desktop responsiveness, encryption, compression, and integer-heavy tasks should favor the AMD part.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE retains relevance in specific niches. Its 37.1% lead in prime-number finding, 28.5% lead in physics simulation, and 9% lead in floating-point math show that certain computational patterns still favor Intel's design. The larger 33 MB L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 may contribute to these wins. The lower 45 W TDP also makes Intel attractive for thermally constrained systems, and its support for DDR4 memory broadens platform compatibility. Users running physics engines, floating-point simulations, or prime-number workloads should consider Intel despite the overall score gap.

For the majority of workloads, the data points to AMD as the better choice. The 89th percentile ranking versus Intel's 78th percentile confirms this. The AMD chip delivers more wins in more categories, with larger margins on average. The Intel part is a specialist, not a generalist, and its three victories do not compensate for the breadth of AMD's superiority in the recorded tests.
