Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is built on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14400T belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, using the Raptor Lake architecture with a Raptor Lake-R codename.

The manufacturing process separates them clearly. AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC process node with a die size of 195 mm². Intel uses a 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². The larger die on Intel's side does not translate into more L3 cache per core: the AMD part has 8 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel part has 20 MB of shared L3 cache.

Core organization differs significantly. The Intel chip has 10 cores and 16 threads, which indicates a hybrid arrangement of performance and efficiency cores, typical of Raptor Lake. The AMD chip has only 6 cores and 12 threads, but each core carries 80 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2. Intel's L2 is 1.25 MB per core, slightly larger per core.

The sockets are incompatible. AMD uses Socket FP8, which is a mobile platform, while Intel uses Socket 1700, a desktop platform. This aligns with their market segments: the AMD chip is marked as Mobile, and the Intel chip is marked as Desktop.

Memory support shows a split. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The power envelope is another distinguishing factor. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 35 watts. This difference is moderate but consistent with the mobile versus desktop positioning.

Release timing differs by two years. The Intel chip was released on January 7, 2024, while the AMD chip was released on January 4, 2026. Both are currently listed as Active production status. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221, and the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded head-to-head data covers eleven PassMark tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins eight of them, and the Intel Core i5-14400T wins three.

The largest AMD advantage comes in extended instructions. The AMD chip scores 18,456 against Intel's 14,562, a 26.7% lead. This is the single biggest margin in the entire comparison. It suggests the Zen 5 architecture handles specialized instruction sets with notably higher throughput.

Data compression also favors AMD clearly. The AMD score of 256,420 beats Intel's 235,636 by 8.8%. Random string sorting follows a similar pattern: 27,252 versus 25,181, an 8.2% lead for AMD. These two tests together indicate that AMD's memory subsystem and integer handling deliver consistent wins in data manipulation workloads.

Single-thread performance belongs to AMD. The score of 3,785 versus 3,512 gives AMD a 7.8% advantage. This is a meaningful margin for a head-to-head comparison, as it reflects per-core efficiency. The AMD chip also wins in integer math, but by a thin margin: 65,991 versus 65,667, only 0.5% ahead. Prime number finding goes to AMD as well, 77 versus 73, a 5.5% lead.

Multithread performance shows AMD ahead by 4.1%, with scores of 21,054 versus 20,223. This is notable because the Intel chip has four more cores and four more threads. Despite the core count disadvantage, AMD's multithread result is higher, which points to superior per-core throughput and possibly better scheduling.

The Intel wins are concentrated in three areas. Floating point math is the largest Intel victory: 49,139 versus 42,934, a 12.6% margin. Physics simulation goes to Intel by 10%, with 1,244 versus 1,119. Data encryption gives Intel a 6.2% edge, 13,244 versus 12,418.

The overall pattern is that AMD dominates integer, compression, sorting, extended instructions, and single-thread workloads, while Intel holds advantages in floating point, physics, and encryption. The multithread result is particularly interesting: Intel's extra cores do not compensate for AMD's higher per-core efficiency in most tests.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the stronger all-around performer despite having fewer cores. Its average benchmark score of 41,208 places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel Core i5-14400T sits at 27,166 and the 79th percentile. The gap in average score is substantial.

The AMD chip wins eight of eleven head-to-head tests. Its advantages in extended instructions (26.7%), data compression (8.8%), random string sorting (8.2%), and single-thread performance (7.8%) are consistent and meaningful. It also wins multithread by 4.1% despite having 4 fewer cores and 4 fewer threads.

The Intel chip does have clear strengths. Floating point math is 12.6% ahead, physics is 10% ahead, and encryption is 6.2% ahead. For workloads that rely heavily on those specific operations, the Intel chip is the better option.

The data also shows that the Intel chip is a desktop part with a higher TDP of 35 watts, while the AMD chip is a mobile part with 28 watts. The AMD chip achieves its higher average score within a lower power envelope. This efficiency advantage is supported by the 4 nm process from TSMC versus Intel's 10 nm process.

The Intel chip has a recorded launch MSRP of $221, while the AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP. The database does not provide price comparison data beyond that single figure.

Considering the percentile rankings, the win count, and the magnitude of AMD's victories, the data points to the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 as the higher-performing processor in the majority of measured workloads. The Intel Core i5-14400T remains competitive in specific floating point and physics scenarios, but the overall benchmark profile favors AMD.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins in eight areas: data compression, extended instructions, prime number finding, integer math, multithread performance, random string sorting, single-thread performance, and the replicated single-thread test. These wins cover the broad categories of integer processing, data manipulation, and per-core efficiency.

Users or workloads that benefit most from the AMD chip include those involving compression tasks, sorting algorithms, integer arithmetic, and instruction-heavy applications. The multithread victory is notable for mixed workloads that do not depend exclusively on floating point. The single-thread lead also makes the AMD chip attractive for lightly threaded applications where per-core speed matters more than total core count.

The Intel Core i5-14400T wins in three areas: data encryption, floating point math, and physics. These are more specialized workloads. Floating point math is a common component of scientific computing, simulations, and some rendering tasks. Physics tests often appear in gaming benchmarks and simulation software. Encryption performance is relevant for security-related workloads and data protection tasks.

The Intel chip also offers more raw cores (10 versus 6) and more threads (16 versus 12), plus a larger L3 cache (20 MB versus 8 MB). For workloads that scale with cache size and core count, even if the AMD chip wins in the multithread PassMark test, the Intel part may still hold an edge in certain cache-sensitive scenarios. The database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for the Intel chip, so comparisons on that front are not possible.

The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5, which is a generation ahead of AMD's Gen 4. This could matter for storage or expansion in desktop builds, but the database does not include benchmark results that isolate PCIe performance.

In summary, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the winner in general-purpose and integer-heavy workloads, while the Intel Core i5-14400T is the winner in floating point, physics, and encryption scenarios. The choice between them depends on which workload category matters more, and the data clearly separates those two use cases.
