AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core i5-14500 Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE vs Intel Core i5-14500

The Intel Core i5-14500 is the clear performance leader in this comparison, with the database showing it holds an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs compared to the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE's 50th percentile. The Core i5-14500 also has a recorded average benchmark score of 38531, while the Ryzen AI 5 440GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning all direct performance comparisons must rely on the Intel part's measured results and the architectural differences between the two. The AMD part is a newer, lower-power design with a 4nm process, but it lacks the core count and measured performance data of the Intel chip.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE, as it has no recorded scores in any benchmark test. The Intel Core i5-14500, however, has a full suite of measured results across multiple benchmark suites, making it the only part with verifiable performance data.

The Intel Core i5-14500 delivers strong multi-threaded performance in Cinebench tests. It scores 2435 in Cinebench R15 multicore, 10985 in Cinebench R20 multicore, and 15012 in Cinebench R23 multicore. These results place it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with a 0.1% margin behind the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T, which scores 38561. The nearest rivals are all extremely close: the Intel Xeon w3-2525 scores 38392 (0.4% behind), the Intel Core 9 270H scores 38335 (0.5% behind), and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H scores 38312 (0.6% behind). This shows the Core i5-14500 is positioned at the top of its immediate competitive cluster, with all four nearby rivals within a 0.7% band.

Single-core performance on the Intel part is also solid. The Core i5-14500 scores 273 in Cinebench R15 singlecore, 1550 in Cinebench R20 singlecore, and 1917 in Cinebench R23 singlecore. In Geekbench, it scores 2099 in singlecore and 13390 in multicore. PassMark results show 3952 in single-thread tests and 30777 in multithread tests.

The PassMark suite reveals specific workload strengths for the Intel chip. Data compression scores 371294, data encryption scores 21457, extended instructions score 22473, find prime numbers scores 106, floating point math scores 79576, integer math scores 108124, physics scores 1746, and random string sorting scores 40980. These are the only measured scores in the database for either processor, so the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE cannot be directly compared on any of these metrics.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500 wins in every category where measured data exists. It delivers strong multi-threaded compute in Cinebench R23 multicore with a score of 15012, and its PassMark multithread score of 30777 confirms broad parallel workload capability. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3952 shows it also handles lightly threaded tasks well. The 86th percentile ranking places it well above the AMD part's 50th percentile ranking.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE wins on efficiency-oriented specifications. Its 35 TDP is significantly lower than the Intel part's 65 TDP, which indicates a lower power draw. It uses a more advanced 4nm process from TSMC, compared to Intel's 10nm process. It also has a smaller die at 195 mm² versus 215 mm². The AMD part offers an unlocked multiplier, which provides overclocking flexibility that the Intel part lacks. Its Radeon 840M integrated graphics may offer a different feature set than the Intel UHD Graphics 770, though no benchmark data exists for either iGPU.

The AMD part also wins on platform modernity. It uses Socket AM5, which is the newer platform, and it was released later, on 2026-02-28, compared to the Intel part's 2024-01-07 release. Its memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded figure for this metric.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core i5-14500 for users who need measured performance. It holds the only recorded benchmark scores in this comparison, with an average benchmark score of 38531 versus 0 for the AMD part. Its 86th percentile ranking versus the AMD part's 50th percentile is a decisive gap. The Intel chip offers more cores, more threads, higher clocks, larger L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 support. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving it broader platform compatibility.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE is the choice for users who prioritize its efficiency and platform features. Its 35 TDP versus 65 TDP indicates lower power consumption. Its 4nm process from TSMC represents a more advanced manufacturing node than Intel's 10nm. The unlocked multiplier offers overclocking capability. The Socket AM5 platform is newer, and the later release date of 2026-02-28 suggests a more recent design.

However, the absence of any benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE is a significant limitation in the database. Without measured results, its actual performance relative to the Intel Core i5-14500 cannot be quantified. The Intel part's nearest rivals, including the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T at 38561 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Xeon w3-2525 at 38392 (0.4% behind), the Intel Core 9 270H at 38335 (0.5% behind), and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H at 38312 (0.6% behind), are all extremely close, which places the Core i5-14500 in a tightly contested performance tier. The AMD part has no such competitive context in the database. Buyers seeking verified performance should look to the Intel Core i5-14500. Buyers seeking a low-power, modern-process part with overclocking flexibility should consider the AMD Ryzen AI 5 440GE, with the caveat that its performance is unmeasured.
