AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G vs Intel Core i7-14700F Comparison

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G and Intel Core i7-14700F represent fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel chip belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel.

Core configuration differs sharply. The AMD processor provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor offers 20 cores and 28 threads. The Intel part relies on a larger core count to drive multithreaded workloads, whereas the AMD chip uses a smaller, more efficient design. The AMD boost clock reaches 4.50 GHz from a 2.00 GHz base, while the Intel part boosts to 5.40 GHz from a 2.10 GHz base. Both parts have a 65 TDP.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both processors use an 80 KB L1 per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB L2 per core and 4 MB L3 total. The Intel chip has 2 MB L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. That larger L3 pool gives the Intel processor a substantial on-die data buffer for workloads that repeatedly access large datasets.

Platform support separates the two as well. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5 and supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700 and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, though its memory bandwidth figure is not recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported by both. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The AMD processor includes integrated Radeon 840M graphics; the Intel part has no integrated graphics. The AMD chip has a locked multiplier, as does the Intel chip. The AMD part was released in March 2026, while the Intel part was released in January 2024.

In passmark_single_thread, the Intel part scores 4257 against 3829 for the AMD part, a 10.1% advantage. The same delta appears in the duplicate passmark_singlethread entry. This indicates that while the Intel chip holds a lead in lightly threaded work, it is not an overwhelming one.

The largest gaps appear in compute-heavy and memory-intensive workloads. In passmark_find_prime_numbers, the Intel part scores 176 versus 55, a 68.7% lead. Floating point math shows the Intel part at 107005 versus 43494, a 59.4% advantage. Integer math shows 155808 versus 63707, a 59.1% lead. Data encryption shows 30144 versus 12111, a 59.8% gap. Physics tests show 2455 versus 999, a 59.3% difference. These results indicate that the Intel processor roughly doubles or more than doubles the AMD part's throughput in several heavy compute categories.

Multithreaded performance follows the same pattern. In passmark_multithread, the Intel part scores 41317 versus 20285, a 50.9% lead. Data compression shows 505885 versus 253484, a 49.9% gap. Random string sorting shows 55918 versus 27407, a 51% difference. Extended instructions show 28564 versus 18697, a 34.5% lead, the second-smallest margin after single-threaded tests.

The average benchmark score reflects the overall gap. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 53620, while the AMD part has 40718. The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon 6505P with an average score of 53701 and a delta of -0.2%, the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at 53469 with a delta of 0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53288 with a delta of 0.6%, and the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53206 with a delta of 0.8%. The AMD chip's nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6357P at 40630 with a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core 5 223PE at 40585 with a delta of 0.3%, the Intel Core 7 253PE at 40557 with a delta of 0.4%, and the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H at 40518 with a delta of 0.5%. These proximity values indicate that both chips sit in competitive clusters where small score differences separate neighboring parts.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification category. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G uses 6 cores and 12 threads; the Intel Core i7-14700F uses 20 cores and 28 threads. Base clocks are close, 2.00 GHz versus 2.10 GHz, but boost clocks differ by 0.90 GHz, with the Intel part reaching 5.40 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. Both share a 65 TDP.

Socket and platform differ completely. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. Process nodes differ: 4 nm at TSMC for AMD versus 10 nm at Intel. The Intel die size is recorded at 257 mm²; no die size is recorded for the AMD part. Cache differs in L2 and L3: 1 MB per core L2 and 4 MB L3 for AMD, versus 2 MB per core L2 and 33 MB shared L3 for Intel. L1 is identical at 80 KB per core.

Memory support differs. AMD supports DDR5 only with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, with no bandwidth figure recorded. Both use dual-channel buses. PCIe generation and lane counts differ: AMD provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The AMD part includes Radeon 840M integrated graphics; the Intel part has none. Release dates differ by over two years, with AMD in March 2026 and Intel in January 2024. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $359. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Both have locked multipliers and both support ECC.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700F wins every head-to-head benchmark in the database. Its largest advantages come in prime number finding, floating point math, integer math, encryption, and physics, all with deltas near or above 59%. These categories point toward workloads that scale with core count, cache size, and raw compute throughput. The 20-core, 28-thread configuration and 33 MB L3 cache give it a clear edge in multithreaded rendering, simulation, encoding, and number-crunching tasks. The data compression result, with a score of 505885 versus 253484, reinforces this pattern for file compression and data processing workloads.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G does not win a single recorded benchmark. However, the data does show areas where the gap is narrower. Single-threaded performance shows only a 10.1% deficit, and extended instructions show a 34.5% deficit. These are the two closest margins in the head-to-head table. The AMD part also offers integrated Radeon 840M graphics, which the Intel part lacks entirely, and a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm. The AMD chip supports DDR5 memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, though the Intel part's bandwidth is not recorded for comparison. The AMD part sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs, which indicates it still ranks highly despite the gap to the Intel chip.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a clear split. For users prioritizing maximum multithreaded throughput, heavy compute, and large cache, the Intel Core i7-14700F is the stronger choice. It leads by roughly half to two-thirds in most heavy workloads, holds a 91st percentile ranking, and maintains a single-threaded advantage as well. Its 33 MB L3 cache and 20-core configuration support sustained parallel workloads. The recorded launch MSRP of $359 provides a fixed reference point for positioning.

For users who need integrated graphics, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is the only one of the two that provides it. The Radeon 840M means a system can operate without a discrete GPU, which the Intel part cannot do. The AMD chip also uses a smaller 4 nm process, which typically correlates with efficiency advantages, though no efficiency measurements are recorded here. Its 87th percentile ranking still places it among higher-performing CPUs, and its nearest rivals in the database are all within 0.5% of its average score. The Intel part's nearest rivals cluster similarly tightly, with deltas between -0.2% and 0.8%. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the Intel Core i7-14700F dominates in every measured benchmark category, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G offers integrated graphics and a more recent platform on AMD Socket AM5.
