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

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400 holds every recorded benchmark win over the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE. The database contains no benchmark scores for the AMD part, meaning all measurable performance data points to Intel. The Core i5-14400 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,315 and a single-core score of 3,009. In Geekbench, it records 9,807 multi-core and 1,905 single-core. The PassMark suite shows 25,080 in multithread and 3,741 in single-thread. Since the AMD chip has zero entries in the benchmark database, the use-case split is entirely one-sided: for any workload that relies on measured CPU throughput, the Intel processor is the only unit with verified results.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE does hold advantages in non-benchmark characteristics. It runs at a 35 W TDP, which is nearly half the Intel part's 65 W TDP. The AMD chip boosts to 4.80 GHz, slightly higher than the Intel's 4.70 GHz. It also uses a 4 nm TSMC process node versus Intel's 10 nm node. These differences matter for platform selection and power-constrained environments, even though they do not translate into recorded benchmark wins.

The Intel Core i5-14400 reaches the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE sits at the 50th percentile, though this figure is based on an average benchmark score of zero, which reflects missing data rather than actual performance. The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 32,115.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14400 uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with a Raptor Lake Refresh generation label.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel chip has 10 cores and 16 threads, meaning it provides four more physical cores and four more threads for parallel workloads. The Intel part also has a larger L3 cache: 20 MB shared versus 8 MB on the AMD chip. Per-core L2 cache is 1.25 MB on Intel versus 1 MB on AMD, while L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

Process technology separates them clearly. AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 10 nm process. The die size is 195 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel. Memory support differs: the AMD chip supports only DDR5, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both run dual-channel memory. The AMD part has a listed memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel entry has no bandwidth figure recorded.

PCIe connectivity differs. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes (CPU only). The Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The Intel chip has a locked multiplier, while the AMD chip is multiplier unlocked. The AMD part also has a newer release date of February 2026, compared to January 2024 for Intel. Both support ECC memory. The AMD chip runs on Socket AM5, the Intel on Socket 1700.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head comparisons are impossible because the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no recorded benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-14400, however, has a full benchmark profile that defines its performance envelope. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21,315 multi-core and 3,009 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8,952 multi-core and 1,263 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2,148 multi-core and 303 single-core.

Geekbench results show 9,807 multi-core and 1,905 single-core. PassMark results span multiple workloads: multithread at 25,080, single-thread at 3,741, integer math at 82,017, floating point math at 61,549, extended instructions at 19,816, data compression at 314,995, data encryption at 16,731, physics at 1,396, and random string sorting at 32,346. The find prime numbers test returns 80.

The nearest rivals for the Intel chip provide context for these scores. The Intel Core i7-12800H has an average score of 32,121 with a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i7-13705H scores 32,076 with a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core i5-14450HX scores 32,040 with a delta of 0.2%. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32,226 with a delta of -0.3%. These are tight margins: the Core i5-14400 sits within 0.3% of all four rivals, effectively matching them in aggregate performance.

The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 32,115, and it lands in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs. The AMD chip's 50th percentile with a zero average score suggests the database has no performance data to rank it, so its percentile reflects missing measurements rather than demonstrated capability.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear division of roles. The Intel Core i5-14400 is the only one of the two with verified benchmark performance. Its 10 cores, 16 threads, 20 MB L3 cache, and recorded scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark make it the choice for workloads where measured throughput matters. The 82nd percentile ranking and average score of 32,115, with nearest rivals within 0.3%, place it in a well-established performance tier.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE offers structural advantages that are not reflected in benchmark data. Its 35 W TDP suggests lower power draw than the Intel chip's 65 W TDP. Its 4 nm TSMC process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node. Its 4.80 GHz boost clock is higher than Intel's 4.70 GHz. Its unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, something the locked Intel chip cannot do. It also supports only DDR5, which may simplify memory selection in newer platforms, and its Radeon 840M integrated graphics differ from Intel's UHD Graphics 730.

For users who rely on the database's recorded measurements, the Intel Core i5-14400 is the only option with demonstrated performance. The AMD part's specifications suggest it may be competitive in power-sensitive or overclocking scenarios, but no benchmark scores exist to confirm that. The recorded data shows one processor with a full performance profile and another with none. That asymmetry is the defining fact of this comparison.
