AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents a one-sided comparison between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 and the Intel Core i7-14701E. Across all fifteen shared benchmark tests, the Intel processor posts the higher score, leaving the AMD part without a single victory in this head-to-head set.

The largest margin comes in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where the Intel Core i7-14701E scores 22195 against the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340's 11534, a delta of -48% for the AMD chip. That is the widest gap in the entire dataset. The Cinebench R23 single-core result shows a similar pattern but with less severity: Intel scores 3133, AMD scores 1802, a -42.5% difference. In the older Cinebench R15 test, the multi-core result favors Intel at 2237 versus 1743 (-22.1%), while the single-core result shows Intel at 315 versus 276 (-12.4%).

PassMark tests reinforce the Intel advantage. The physics workload shows Intel at 2399 against AMD's 1084, a -54.8% delta. Prime number finding follows closely: Intel scores 176, AMD scores 74, a -58% gap. Floating point math delivers Intel 61873, AMD 39662, a -35.9% difference. Integer math sees Intel at 81325, AMD at 63233, a -22.2% delta. The multithread PassMark test records Intel 26112, AMD 19215, a -26.4% difference.

Some workloads keep the two processors closer. Extended instructions show Intel at 18528, AMD at 15721, a -15.2% delta. Random string sorting records Intel 29158, AMD 24334, a -16.5% gap. Data compression scores Intel 282939, AMD 221581, a -21.7% difference. Data encryption shows Intel 14862, AMD 11212, a -24.6% delta. The single-thread PassMark test, run twice with identical results, places Intel at 4305 against AMD's 3758, a -12.7% difference.

The average benchmark score tells the same story. The Intel Core i7-14701E posts an average of 33206, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 posts 27932. The Intel chip sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, the AMD chip in the 80th. Nearest rival data for the AMD part shows it clustered with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (avg score 27896, delta 0.1%), AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (27887, delta 0.2%), Intel Core i9-10900K (27872, delta 0.2%), and Intel Core i9-12900H (28003, delta -0.3%). The Intel part, meanwhile, sits alongside the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (33201, delta 0%), AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS (33244, delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (33091, delta 0.3%), and Intel Core i7-13650HX (33089, delta 0.4%).

Where Each One Wins

Given the zero wins for AMD in the direct comparisons, the use-case split is heavily tilted. The Intel Core i7-14701E wins every benchmark category in the shared dataset, making it the stronger candidate for both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.

For single-thread performance, the Intel chip leads in Cinebench R15 single-core (315 vs 276), Cinebench R23 single-core (3133 vs 1802), and PassMark single-thread (4305 vs 3758). This indicates faster response in lightly threaded applications such as typical desktop interaction, spreadsheet recalculations, and older software that relies on one or two cores.

Multi-threaded tasks show an even larger Intel advantage. Cinebench R23 multi-core (22195 vs 11534) and Cinebench R15 multi-core (2237 vs 1743) both point to the Intel part handling heavily parallel workloads with substantially more headroom. PassMark multithread (26112 vs 19215) and the math-oriented tests (floating point 61873 vs 39662, integer 81325 vs 63233) confirm that rendering, video encoding, scientific computing, and data processing all favor the Intel processor.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 does not win any category in the head-to-head data, so there is no workload class where the measurements support selecting it over the Intel part. The closest margins are in extended instructions (-15.2%) and random string sorting (-16.5%), but even those remain Intel victories. The AMD chip also lacks any benchmark result where its score exceeds the Intel counterpart, including in the PassMark physics test where the Intel part leads by more than half.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing nodes and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². Its architecture is Zen 5 under the Krackan Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI PRO 300 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i7-14701E uses a 10 nm process from Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². Its architecture is Raptor Lake under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

Core counts differ. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel chip therefore offers two additional physical cores and four additional threads, which explains part of its multi-threaded advantage. Clock speeds also favor Intel: the AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, while the Intel chip has a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz.

Cache layouts diverge. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core for AMD versus 2 MB of L2 per core for Intel. The L3 cache differs substantially: the AMD part has 8 MB, the Intel part has 33 MB shared. That larger L3 cache gives the Intel processor more room for frequently accessed data, which can reduce memory stalls in compute-heavy workloads.

Memory support and connectivity differ. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, though no bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 uses a Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core i7-14701E uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part targets mobile systems with an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part targets desktop systems with an Intel Socket 1700. The market segments reflect this split: AMD lists the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 as Mobile, Intel lists the Core i7-14701E as Desktop.

Power characteristics are not directly comparable in the data beyond TDP. The AMD chip has a TDP of 28, the Intel chip has a TDP of 65. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock by 0.60 GHz, which contributes to its single-threaded wins. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking headroom is not a differentiator in the recorded data.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors. The Intel Core i7-14701E leads in every single benchmark category recorded in the database, with margins ranging from 12.4% in Cinebench R15 single-core to 58% in PassMark find prime numbers. The Intel part also carries a higher average benchmark score (33206 vs 27932) and sits three percentile points higher (83rd vs 80th) among all CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340, by contrast, offers no measured advantage in any workload. It has a lower core count (6 vs 8), a lower boost clock (4.80 GHz vs 5.40 GHz), smaller L3 cache (8 MB vs 33 MB shared), and lower scores across all shared tests. Its strengths lie in platform characteristics: a smaller die (195 mm² vs 257 mm²), a lower TDP (28 vs 65), and a newer 4 nm process from TSMC versus Intel's 10 nm process. Those factors make it suited to mobile systems, as its market segment indicates, but the benchmark data does not support a performance win in any measured category.

The Intel Core i7-14701E is the processor for users who prioritize raw compute throughput, whether single-threaded or multi-threaded. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 is the processor for mobile platforms where lower power consumption and a compact die matter more than peak benchmark scores. The recorded data does not show any workload where the AMD chip outperforms the Intel chip.
