Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, and uses the Raptor Lake architecture.

Core counts differ. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 8 cores and 16 threads. The base clock on AMD is 2.00 GHz and the boost clock is 4.50 GHz. Intel runs at a 2.10 GHz base clock and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The Intel part launches from a lower thermal envelope of 45 TDP against AMD's 65 TDP, despite the higher boost frequency.

Cache layouts also differ. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core on AMD and 2 MB per core on Intel. The L3 cache is much larger on Intel: 33 MB shared, while AMD has only 4 MB. The Intel die size is recorded at 257 mm². The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5 and Intel uses Socket 1700.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports DDR5 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while Intel has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capability differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 10 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part was released in March 2026, while the Intel part was released in June 2024. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G is the stronger overall processor in the recorded tests. It wins 7 of 11 head-to-head comparisons, holds a higher average benchmark score (40718 versus 26013), and occupies a higher percentile ranking (87th versus 78th). The single-thread score of 3829 is particularly notable, as it outperforms the Intel part by 45.2%, and the extended instructions score of 18697 is 30.3% ahead. For workloads that rely on data compression, string sorting, encryption, and single-thread responsiveness, the AMD part shows a clear advantage.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE should be selected when the workload matches its strengths. It delivers a 46.3% lead in physics scoring and a 61.5% lead in prime number finding. Its floating point math score of 50219 is 13.4% ahead of AMD, and its integer math score of 65792 is 3.2% ahead. For applications that depend on those specific execution patterns, the Intel part is the better choice in the recorded data.

The multithread result is effectively a tie, with AMD leading by just 1.2%. This suggests that the Intel part's additional 2 cores and 4 threads do not translate into a meaningful throughput advantage in the recorded multithread test. Instead, the AMD architecture appears to compensate with higher per-core efficiency.
