AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark records for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE versus the Intel Core i5-14490F. The AMD processor has no benchmark scores recorded, while the Intel Core i5-14490F has a full set of measured results across Cinebench and Passmark workloads. The Intel part holds a 36-point percentile advantage, sitting at the 86th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database versus the AMD part's 50th percentile.

The Intel Core i5-14490F's recorded scores provide concrete reference points. In Cinebench R23, it delivers a multicore score of 23,000 and a singlecore score of 3,247. The R20 run shows 9,660 multicore and 1,363 singlecore. The R15 results are 2,318 multicore and 327 singlecore. Passmark results include a single-thread score of 3,873, a multithread score of 28,662, integer math at 87,844, floating point math at 66,558, data compression at 340,026, and data encryption at 18,225. Extended instructions score 21,731, find prime numbers scores 122, physics scores 2,093, and random string sorting scores 35,608.

With zero measured scores for the AMD part, the comparison is asymmetric. The database records no wins for either processor in direct head-to-head testing. The only quantifiable comparisons available are structural: core counts, thread counts, cache sizes, clock speeds, memory support, and platform features. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 38,149 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-13600KF, 0.2% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 250, 0.1% behind the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, and 0.3% behind the Intel Core i5-13600HX. Those nearest rival deltas indicate the i5-14490F sits in a tightly packed performance cluster.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE uses a 4 nm process from TSMC and carries the Gorgon Point codename. It belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry, based on Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen family.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel processor provides 10 cores and 16 threads. That is a 4-core, 4-thread advantage for Intel. Base clocks favor Intel at 2.50 GHz versus AMD's 2.00 GHz. Boost clocks also favor Intel at 5.00 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. The Intel part draws 65 W TDP against the AMD part's 35 W TDP, meaning the AMD chip consumes 30 W less at rated thermal design power.

Cache layouts diverge sharply. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel L3 pool is six times larger than AMD's total L3 allocation. Per-core L2 also favors Intel at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB.

Memory support differs by generation and speed. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC memory support. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, without ECC support. The database records no memory bandwidth figure for the Intel part. Platform connectivity also differs: AMD provides PCIe Gen 4 with 10 lanes from the CPU, while Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics separate the two clearly. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE includes a Radeon 840M iGPU. The Intel Core i5-14490F has no integrated graphics, as indicated by the N/A designation. The Intel part requires a discrete GPU for any display output, while the AMD part can handle display duties through its integrated Radeon graphics.

Die size is recorded only for Intel at 215 mm². The AMD die size is not listed. Manufacturing nodes favor AMD's 4 nm process over Intel's 10 nm process, which typically enables higher transistor density and lower power draw per unit of performance. Both processors have locked multipliers, so neither supports unlocked overclocking. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5; the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

Release timing differs by roughly two years. The Intel Core i5-14490F entered production status in December 2023. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE entered production status in March 2026. Both are currently marked as active production parts.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins on raw core count, thread count, base clock, boost clock, L2 cache per core, L3 cache total, PCIe generation, PCIe lane count, and measured benchmark scores across every recorded workload. Its 10 cores and 16 threads provide a structural advantage for parallel workloads. The 24 MB shared L3 cache is substantially larger than the AMD part's 4 MB, which benefits workloads with repeated data access across cores. The 5.00 GHz boost clock is 500 MHz higher than the AMD part's 4.50 GHz, which supports higher single-thread throughput in the recorded Passmark single-thread score of 3,873.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE wins on process node, TDP, integrated graphics, ECC memory support, and memory bandwidth. The 4 nm process from TSMC is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node, which contributes to the 35 W TDP rating. That 35 W figure is 30 W lower than the Intel part's 65 W rating, making the AMD chip more suitable for thermally constrained systems. The Radeon 840M integrated graphics eliminate the need for a discrete GPU in basic display scenarios, a capability the Intel part lacks entirely. ECC memory support allows error-correcting memory configurations, which the Intel part cannot accommodate. The recorded 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth for AMD exceeds the Intel part's unspecified bandwidth, though the Intel part's dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 support offers broader memory compatibility.

For workloads measured in the database, the Intel part's scores define its strengths. Passmark integer math at 87,844 and floating point math at 66,558 indicate strong computational throughput. Data compression at 340,026 shows high throughput in compression tasks. Cinebench R23 multicore at 23,000 indicates solid rendering performance. The AMD part has no recorded scores to challenge these figures, so the Intel part holds every measured performance win by default.

The Verdict

The data presents a one-sided comparison. The Intel Core i5-14490F has complete benchmark coverage across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple Passmark workloads, with an average benchmark score of 38,149 and an 86th percentile ranking. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. The Intel part also leads on every structural specification that correlates with compute performance: 10 cores versus 6, 16 threads versus 12, 5.00 GHz boost versus 4.50 GHz, 24 MB L3 versus 4 MB, and PCIe Gen 5 versus Gen 4.

The AMD part's advantages are platform-level rather than performance-level. The 4 nm process and 35 W TDP make it a lower-power option. The Radeon 840M provides integrated graphics. ECC memory support enables error-correcting configurations. DDR5-only support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth offers a fast, modern memory path. These features matter for systems where power efficiency, display output, or data integrity take priority over raw compute.

For users selecting between the two strictly from the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the choice for measured performance. Every benchmark in the database favors it, and its structural specifications align with those results. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435GE is the choice for integrated graphics, lower power draw, ECC memory, and a more advanced process node. Without benchmark scores for the AMD part, any performance comparison beyond those structural differences remains unquantified in the database.
