AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core i5-14600T Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database presents a clear split between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14600T wins 8 of the 11 recorded head-to-head tests, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins 3. The Intel part’s overall average benchmark score of 32707 places it at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part’s average of 41208 places it at the 87th percentile. This apparent contradiction, where the AMD chip holds a higher percentile despite losing most head-to-head matchups, stems from the different benchmark suites recorded for each processor. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 shows strength in extended instruction handling and single-thread performance, while the Intel Core i5-14600T dominates in multithreaded workloads, physics calculations, and memory-intensive operations.

The data suggests the Intel Core i5-14600T is the pick for users whose workloads depend on parallel processing across many cores. Its 14 cores and 20 threads provide substantial resources for rendering, compilation, and data processing tasks. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440, with 6 cores and 12 threads, delivers a more compact mobile package that wins in single-threaded tests and extended instruction throughput, making it suitable for lighter, latency-sensitive applications or environments where the 28 W TDP matters more than raw throughput.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14600T claims victory in the heavy computational categories. Its PassMark multithread score of 26409 beats the AMD part’s 21054 by 20.3%. The physics test shows an even larger gap, with Intel scoring 1873 against AMD’s 1119, a 40.3% advantage. Data compression and encryption also favor Intel, with scores of 301827 versus 256420 (15% ahead) and 18226 versus 12418 (31.9% ahead), respectively. Integer math, floating-point math, prime number finding, and random string sorting all follow the same pattern, with Intel leading by margins between 20.6% and 36.4%.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 wins in extended instructions, scoring 18456 against Intel’s 16985, an 8.7% advantage. It also edges out Intel in single-thread performance, 3785 versus 3744, a 1.1% margin that appears in both single-thread and single-thread benchmark entries. These wins suggest the AMD architecture handles specialized instruction sets and lightly threaded workloads more efficiently.

The Intel part’s Cinebench scores reinforce its multithreaded dominance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22447 and R20 multicore score of 9427 show strong sustained performance, while its Geekbench multicore score of 12840 adds another data point. The AMD part has no recorded Cinebench or Geekbench scores in the database, so direct comparisons in those tests are not possible.
