AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 and Intel Core i7-14701TE take sharply different paths in the recorded benchmark data. The AMD part wins 8 of 11 head-to-head comparisons, while the Intel chip claims 3. These wins are not scattered randomly, they cluster around distinct workload types.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 dominates in single-threaded throughput. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3785 beats the Intel Core i7-14701TE's 2637 by 43.5%. This advantage carries into data compression, where AMD scores 256420 against Intel's 220520, a 16.3% edge. The AMD processor also leads in extended instructions (18456 vs 14354, a 28.6% gap), random string sorting (27252 vs 22760, 19.7% ahead), and data encryption (12418 vs 11699, 6.1% better). Even in integer math, AMD edges out Intel by a slim 0.3%, scoring 65991 versus 65792.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins where raw compute density matters. Its prime number finding score of 143 crushes AMD's 77, a 46.2% advantage. Physics simulation shows a similar pattern, with Intel at 1860 versus AMD's 1119, a 39.8% lead. Floating-point math also favors Intel, at 50219 versus 42934, a 14.5% gap. These are classic parallel-heavy workloads that benefit from more physical cores.

The multithreaded PassMark score tells a nuanced story. AMD wins here with 21054 against Intel's 20042, a 5% margin, despite Intel having 8 cores and 16 threads versus AMD's 6 cores and 12 threads. This suggests AMD's Zen 5 architecture extracts more throughput per thread in mixed workloads, even when outnumbered.

For users prioritizing responsiveness, encryption, compression, or any workload that leans on single-core efficiency, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the clear choice from the data. For workloads dominated by parallel integer loops, physics calculations, or floating-point number crunching, the Intel Core i7-14701TE delivers substantially higher scores.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to two different buyer profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 achieves an average benchmark score of 41208 and sits in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i7-14701TE averages 26013 and ranks in the 78th percentile. These aggregate numbers favor AMD decisively, with a 58.4% higher average score.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H at 41215 (0% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H at 41263 (-0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X at 41376 (-0.4% delta). This places the Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 in territory occupied by higher-tier desktop and mobile parts. The Intel Core i7-14701TE, by contrast, sits near the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 25981 (0.1% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS at 26106 (-0.4% delta), a more mid-range grouping.

For a mobile platform, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 delivers a 28-watt TDP with Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process. The Intel Core i7-14701TE is a desktop part with a 45-watt TDP on Intel's 10 nm process. The data shows the AMD chip outperforms the Intel chip in most measured tasks while drawing less power on paper. The Intel part's advantages are confined to specific parallel workloads where its extra cores and 33 MB of shared L3 cache provide a measurable boost.

The verdict from the recorded data: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 is the stronger overall processor, with better single-thread performance, higher multithread scores, and superior efficiency in common tasks. The Intel Core i7-14701TE is the pick only when prime number generation, physics simulation, or floating-point math are the primary workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest margin in the entire comparison belongs to AMD in single-thread performance. The Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 scores 3785, while the Core i7-14701TE manages 2637. That 43.5% delta is the single biggest win for either chip. This single-thread advantage cascades into several other benchmarks. Extended instructions show AMD ahead by 28.6% (18456 vs 14354), random string sorting favors AMD by 19.7% (27252 vs 22760), and data compression gives AMD a 16.3% edge (256420 vs 220520). Data encryption is closer, with AMD ahead 6.1% (12418 vs 11699). Integer math is nearly a tie, with AMD ahead by just 0.3% (65991 vs 65792).

The multithreaded PassMark score goes to AMD at 21054 versus 20042, a 5% advantage. This result is notable because Intel fields 8 cores and 16 threads against AMD's 6 cores and 12 threads. The AMD chip's higher clock speed, with a boost of 4.80 GHz versus Intel's 5.20 GHz, does not fully explain the result. The Zen 5 architecture appears to deliver better per-thread efficiency in mixed workloads.

Intel's biggest win is in prime number finding, where it scores 143 versus AMD's 77, a 46.2% margin. Physics simulation also goes strongly to Intel, 1860 versus 1119, a 39.8% difference. Floating-point math completes Intel's wins at 50219 versus 42934, a 14.5% gap. These three benchmarks share a common trait: they reward raw core count and parallel execution. Intel's 8 cores provide a structural advantage that AMD's 6 cores cannot overcome in these specific tests.

The win distribution is clear. AMD takes the efficiency-oriented and single-thread-sensitive tasks. Intel takes the brute-force parallel tasks. The overall average benchmark score reflects this split, with AMD at 41208 and Intel at 26013, a gap that favors AMD by more than 58%.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm².

Core configurations differ significantly. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core, but AMD allocates 1 MB of L2 per core while Intel doubles that to 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is where Intel takes a clear lead: 33 MB shared versus AMD's 8 MB. This larger cache pool helps Intel in the parallel workloads where it wins.

Clock speeds also differ. AMD's base clock is 2.00 GHz with a boost of 4.80 GHz. Intel's base clock is 2.10 GHz with a boost of 5.20 GHz. Despite Intel's higher boost clock, AMD achieves better single-thread scores, indicating architectural efficiency in Zen 5.

Memory support separates the two as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a measured bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, though no bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes for the CPU. Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes for the CPU. Intel's newer PCIe standard offers more bandwidth for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD includes a Radeon 840M, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not include graphics benchmarks for comparison.

The socket and market segment reinforce their intended roles. AMD uses Socket FP8 and targets mobile devices. Intel uses Socket 1700 and targets desktop systems. The AMD TDP is 28 watts, while the Intel TDP is 45 watts, reflecting the mobile versus desktop positioning. Both processors are currently active in production, with AMD releasing in 2026 and Intel releasing in 2024. Neither processor has a record of an unlocked multiplier.

The process node difference is significant: 4 nm at TSMC versus 10 nm at Intel. This explains the smaller die size for AMD despite comparable feature sets, and contributes to the efficiency gap visible in benchmark results.
