The Verdict

The data separates these two processors clearly by workload type. The Intel Core i5-14400F holds the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part also carries a recorded average benchmark score of 32279, whereas the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. For any user prioritizing multi-threaded throughput, the Intel chip is the only one with measured results to support a selection.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE counters with a 35 watt TDP against the Intel chip's 65 watt TDP. That difference makes the AMD processor the more thermally restrained option for compact desktop builds or systems where cooling headroom is limited. The AMD part also includes integrated graphics with the Radeon 840M, while the Intel Core i5-14400F has no integrated graphics at all. A desktop that relies on the CPU alone for display output must choose the AMD processor.

The Intel Core i5-14400F is the choice for users who need the highest recorded multi-core performance, PCIe Gen 5 support, and a larger 20 MB shared L3 cache. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE is the choice for users who need a lower power envelope, an integrated GPU, and a smaller 4 MB L3 cache. The Intel chip's 10 cores, 16 threads, and higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz give it the structural advantage in CPU-bound workloads. The AMD chip's 4 nm process node and 35 watt TDP define its role as an efficiency-oriented part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark record for the Intel Core i5-14400F, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE has no recorded benchmark scores. The comparison therefore relies on the Intel part's measured results and the architectural differences between the two chips.

The Intel Core i5-14400F posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21645 and a single-core score of 3055. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 9090 and the single-core score is 1283. The Cinebench R15 results are 2181 for multi-core and 307 for single-core. These scores establish the Intel chip's performance baseline across three generations of the Cinebench suite.

In Geekbench, the Intel Core i5-14400F records a multi-core score of 11268 and a single-core score of 2058. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 25470 and a single-thread score of 3701. Specific PassMark workloads include integer math at 81524, floating point math at 61319, extended instructions at 19937, data compression at 315521, data encryption at 16949, and random string sorting at 32680. The physics test scores 1523, and the find prime numbers test scores 86.

The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U at 32233 (0.1% behind), the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 (0.2% behind), and the Intel Core i7-12800H at 32121 (0.5% behind). The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS leads the Intel chip by 0.2% with a score of 32354. These deltas show the Intel Core i5-14400F clustering tightly with a group of high-end mobile and desktop processors, all within a 0.7% spread.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE cannot be placed in the same benchmark table because it has no recorded scores. Its 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates a mid-pack position, far below the Intel chip's 83rd percentile. The Intel processor's average benchmark score of 32279 is the only direct performance metric available between the two.

Specification Differences

The core configuration differs significantly. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14400F uses 10 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for the AMD part and 2.50 GHz for the Intel part. Boost clocks are 4.50 GHz for the AMD part and 4.70 GHz for the Intel part.

Thermal design power differs by 30 watts. The AMD processor is rated at 35 watts, the Intel processor at 65 watts. Socket compatibility also differs: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The AMD processor has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor has no memory bandwidth figure in the database.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 10 CPU lanes. The Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are present on the AMD processor as the Radeon 840M, while the Intel processor has no integrated graphics.

Cache hierarchy differs substantially. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel L3 cache is five times larger than the AMD L3 cache.

Production status is active for both. The Intel processor was released on January 7, 2024, while the AMD processor was released on March 1, 2026. Both have locked multipliers. The Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $196; the AMD processor has no launch MSRP recorded.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which uses a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14400F belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is part of the Core i5 generation based on Raptor Lake Refresh. The Intel process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The Intel die size is recorded at 215 mm²; the AMD die size is not recorded.

The core architecture reflects different design philosophies. The AMD chip combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores within a 6-core, 12-thread configuration, a hybrid approach that can prioritize efficiency for lower-power operation. The Intel chip uses a 10-core, 16-thread configuration under the Raptor Lake architecture, which in this database listing does not separate performance and efficiency core types in its recorded specifications. The Intel chip's larger 20 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache give it a capacity advantage for workloads that benefit from larger on-chip data storage. The AMD chip's 4 MB L3 cache is considerably smaller, but its 4 nm process node represents a more advanced manufacturing geometry than the Intel 10 nm node.

The integrated graphics division is absolute. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE includes a Radeon 840M iGPU, making it a complete single-chip desktop solution for systems without a discrete graphics card. The Intel Core i5-14400F has no integrated graphics, meaning it requires a separate GPU for any display output. This is a decisive architectural difference for builds that do not include a discrete graphics card.

Memory architecture also diverges. The AMD processor supports only DDR5, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving the Intel platform flexibility for older memory ecosystems. The AMD processor records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel processor has no bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

The PCIe architecture favors the Intel processor with Gen 5 and 16 CPU lanes versus the AMD processor's Gen 4 and 10 CPU lanes. The release timeline also separates the two: the Intel part launched in January 2024, while the AMD part launched in March 2026. The AMD part carries part number 100-000001781; the Intel part carries part number SRN3RSRN47.
