AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data positions the Intel Core i7-14701E as the clear performance leader, winning 10 of 11 head-to-head tests against the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G. The Intel part holds decisive advantages in raw compute, particularly in prime number finding where it leads by 68.7%, and in physics simulation where it is 58.4% ahead. Its average benchmark score of 33206 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD chip reaches the 87th percentile with an average score of 40718. That percentile gap, however, is misleading: the AMD processor is surrounded by very close rivals (Intel Xeon 6357P at 40630, Intel Core 5 223PE at 40585, Intel Core 7 253PE at 40557, Intel Core Ultra X7 368H at 40518), all within 0.5% of its score. The Intel Core i7-14701E sits among AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (33201), Ryzen 5 8645HS (33244), Ryzen 7 7745HX (33091), and Intel Core i7-13650HX (33089), with deltas of 0.4% or less.

For users prioritizing single-thread responsiveness, the Intel chip delivers a 4305 score versus 3829 for AMD, an 11.1% advantage. The Intel part also extends its lead in multithreaded workloads, scoring 26112 against 20285, a 22.3% margin. The AMD processor counters with a narrow 0.9% edge in extended instructions (18697 vs 18528), a test that reflects specialized instruction set efficiency. The data indicates that the Intel Core i7-14701E is the choice for compute-heavy tasks, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G offers competitive average performance with a higher percentile ranking due to its tighter rival cluster. The AMD chip also consumes the same 65 W TDP as the Intel part while using a smaller 4 nm process, which suggests better energy efficiency per unit of work, though the database does not include direct power measurements.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G uses the Gorgon Point codename from the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores at a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14701E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, using Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The process node difference is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which explains the AMD chip's smaller physical footprint, though the database lists no die size for AMD while Intel measures 257 mm².

Cache hierarchies differ noticeably. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core and share 1 MB of L2 per core on AMD versus 2 MB per core on Intel. The L3 cache is where the gap widens: AMD provides only 4 MB total, while Intel offers 33 MB shared. This larger L3 cache on the Intel part likely contributes to its higher scores in data compression (10.4% ahead) and integer math (21.7% ahead).

Memory support diverges: AMD accepts only DDR5, while Intel accepts both DDR4 and DDR5. Both run dual-channel memory buses, and AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while Intel does not report a bandwidth figure. PCIe connectivity differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770.

Both processors are actively produced desktop parts with locked multipliers. AMD released in March 2026, while Intel released in June 2024. Neither has a listed launch MSRP. AMD's part number is 100-000001783; Intel's is Q49FSRNJK. Both have a TDP of 65 W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14701E dominates the PassMark suite, winning 10 of 11 tests. The largest margin appears in prime number finding, where Intel scores 176 versus 55 for AMD, a 68.7% lead. Physics simulation shows a similarly lopsided result: 2399 versus 999, a 58.4% advantage. Floating point math follows with Intel at 61873 against 43494, a 29.7% edge. These three tests indicate that Intel's higher core count and larger cache provide substantial benefits in mathematical and physics-based workloads.

Multithreaded performance reinforces the Intel advantage. The PassMark multithread test shows Intel at 26112 versus 20285 for AMD, a 22.3% margin. Integer math delivers 81325 for Intel against 63707 for AMD, a 21.7% lead. Data encryption shows Intel at 14862 versus 12111, an 18.5% edge. Data compression is closer but still favors Intel: 282939 versus 253484, a 10.4% difference. Random string sorting shows the narrowest gap among Intel wins: 29158 versus 27407, a 6% margin.

Single-thread performance favors Intel at 4305 versus 3829, an 11.1% difference, consistent across both single-thread test entries in the database. The only AMD victory comes in extended instructions, where the Ryzen chip scores 18697 against 18528, a 0.9% edge. That result suggests AMD's Zen 5 architecture handles certain specialized instruction patterns more efficiently, but the effect is too small to offset Intel's broader compute advantages.

The average benchmark scores reflect a different picture. AMD's 40718 average is 22.6% higher than Intel's 33206, yet Intel wins every meaningful compute test. This discrepancy arises because AMD's nearest rivals (Intel Xeon 6357P at 40630, Intel Core 5 223PE at 40585, Intel Core 7 253PE at 40557, Intel Core Ultra X7 368H at 40518) cluster tightly around its score, while Intel's rivals (AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H at 33201, Ryzen 5 8645HS at 33244, Ryzen 7 7745HX at 33091, Core i7-13650HX at 33089) sit in a lower band. The percentile rankings (87th for AMD, 83rd for Intel) reflect this distribution, not the head-to-head results. The recorded data shows that in direct competition, the Intel Core i7-14701E is the faster processor in nearly every measurable workload, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G holds its own only in the specialized extended instructions test.
