AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 and the Intel Core i5-14401E. Instead, the database provides separate benchmark suites for each processor, which measure different workloads. The AMD part is characterized by PassMark tests, while the Intel part is characterized by Cinebench tests. Because these test suites do not overlap, a direct score-to-score comparison is impossible. The analysis must therefore rely on each processor's position relative to its own nearest rivals and its overall percentile ranking.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 shows a PassMark single-thread score of 3757 and a PassMark multithread score of 19091. Its average benchmark score is 37762, which places it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, scores 37804, which is 0.1% higher. The Intel Core 5 211E scores 37829, 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a higher-tier part, scores 37904, only 0.4% above the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435. The Intel Core i5-13600K scores 37685, 0.2% below. This clustering indicates that the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 sits in a tightly contested performance band where the differences between rivals are under half a percent.

The Intel Core i5-14401E, in contrast, has an average benchmark score of 5253, placing it in the 60th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4, which scores 5259, 0.1% higher. The Intel Core i7-11700B scores 5241, 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i9-10850K scores 5240, also 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i5-13400T scores 5210, 0.8% lower. The i5-14401E leads its closest competitors by a narrow margin, but its absolute average score is far below the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435. However, this gap is misleading because the two chips are measured with different benchmark suites. The PassMark suite used for the AMD part produces much larger numerical scores than the Cinebench suite used for the Intel part, so cross-suite comparisons of raw scores are not valid.

The Cinebench results for the Intel Core i5-14401E provide internal context. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 18161, while its R23 singlecore score is 2564. The R20 multicore score is 7627, and the R20 singlecore score is 1076. The R15 multicore score is 1830, and the R15 singlecore score is 258. These scores show a consistent multicore advantage over singlecore within the same suite, but without corresponding Cinebench results for the AMD part, no direct cross-processor conclusion can be drawn.

The AMD processor's PassMark data shows strong integer and floating point performance. Its integer math score is 60879, and its floating point math score is 41114. Data compression scores 232803, while data encryption scores 11267. Extended instructions score 16724. Random string sorting scores 24936. Find prime numbers scores 57. Physics scores 995. These figures indicate a processor that handles compression and encryption workloads efficiently, but the lack of comparable Intel scores prevents a head-to-head verdict.

The Verdict

The database records show that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 holds the 86th percentile position among all CPUs, while the Intel Core i5-14401E holds the 60th percentile position. This percentile gap is significant and is based on each processor's own benchmark suite. The AMD part's average score of 37762 places it among rivals like the Intel Core i5-13600K and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, both of which are within 0.4% of its score. The Intel part's average score of 5253 places it among rivals like the Intel Core i9-10850K and the Intel Core i5-13400T, all within 0.8%. The data indicates that the AMD processor competes in a higher performance tier relative to the broader CPU population.

For a user selecting strictly from the data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 is positioned as the higher-performing part in the database's overall ranking. Its 86th percentile versus the Intel part's 60th percentile is a clear separation. The Intel Core i5-14401E, however, is a desktop processor with a 65 TDP, while the AMD part is a mobile processor with a 28 TDP. The data does not include any power or efficiency benchmarks, so no claims about performance per watt can be made. The choice between the two should be guided by the percentile ranking and the intended platform, with the AMD part showing a stronger overall standing in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 uses the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is substantial, with the AMD part using a more advanced 4 nm node compared to Intel's 10 nm node.

Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. The L2 cache differs slightly: the AMD part has 1 MB per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache differs markedly: the AMD part has 4 MB, while the Intel part has 20 MB shared. The Intel part's larger L3 cache could benefit workloads that rely on shared data, but the database does not provide cache-sensitive benchmarks to confirm this.
