Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G is built on Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation using Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700HX uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-HX codename, part of the Core 14th Gen family. Intel fabricates this chip on a 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm².

The core topology differs dramatically. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, which indicates a homogeneous design. Intel provides 20 cores and 28 threads, which indicates a hybrid arrangement with performance and efficiency cores, though the exact breakdown is not specified in the database. The Intel part has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. AMD allocates 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3. Intel allocates 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The L3 difference is substantial: Intel's 33 MB shared cache dwarfs AMD's 8 MB, which can influence performance in cache-sensitive workloads.

The socket and platform targets are different. AMD uses Socket AM5, which is a desktop platform. Intel uses BGA 1964, which is a mobile platform. The market segment fields confirm this: AMD is listed as Desktop, Intel as Mobile. The AMD chip has a TDP of 65 watts, while Intel has a TDP of 55 watts.

Memory support differs. AMD supports only DDR5 with dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus, though memory bandwidth is not recorded. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ. AMD provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes for the CPU. Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes for the CPU. This gives Intel a newer and wider interconnect for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ. AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses the UHD Graphics 770. Feature-level specifics for the iGPU are not recorded in the database.

The multiplier is unlocked on the Intel part, meaning overclocking is possible. The AMD part has a locked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark suite for the Intel Core i7-14700HX, but no benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G. The AMD processor has an empty benchmarks array. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Intel processor has an average benchmark score of 45953, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 89.

With no recorded scores for the AMD part, the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the Intel data and the architectural differences. The Intel Core i7-14700HX shows strong multi-core performance in Cinebench tests. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 3812. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, it scores 13059. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 24595.

Single-core scores for Intel are also recorded. Cinebench R15 single-core yields 296, Cinebench R20 single-core yields 1843, and Cinebench R23 single-core yields 2103.

Geekbench results for Intel show a multi-core score of 14390 and a single-core score of 2116.

PassMark tests provide a broader view. Multi-thread score is 36566, single-thread score is 3947, integer math is 131296, floating point math is 93836, extended instructions is 25718, data compression is 438539, data encryption is 26092, physics is 2252, random string sorting is 48544, and finding prime numbers is 165.

The Intel processor's nearest rivals in the database are all AMD EPYC parts or other AMD/Intel consumer chips. The AMD EPYC 7303 has an average score of 45960 with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD EPYC 4364P has an average score of 45970 with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 has an average score of 46030 with a delta of -0.2 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 has an average score of 46062 with a delta of -0.2 percent.

These deltas indicate that the Core i7-14700HX sits within a tight performance band around the 45950 to 46060 range. The Intel part is effectively tied with those EPYC and newer consumer chips, all within 0.2 percent of each other.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has no benchmark scores, its relative position cannot be quantified against the Intel part. The database records a percentile of 50 for AMD, which places it at the median of all CPUs, while Intel sits at the 89th percentile.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split between these two processors. The Intel Core i7-14700HX has 20 cores and 28 threads, a 5.50 GHz boost clock, 33 MB of shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and an unlocked multiplier. Its recorded benchmarks show strong results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark suites. Its average benchmark score of 45953 and 89th percentile ranking indicate it sits near the top of the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G has 6 cores and 12 threads, a 4.80 GHz boost clock, 8 MB of L3 cache, PCIe Gen 4 support, and a locked multiplier. It has no recorded benchmark scores and an average score of 0. Its 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs, but that ranking comes without any actual performance measurements.

For users comparing these two, the Intel part is the only one with verified performance data. The core count difference alone suggests that the Intel processor will deliver far higher multi-threaded throughput. The 33 MB of L3 cache versus 8 MB also favors Intel in cache-bound scenarios. The Intel part also has a higher boost clock, which benefits single-thread responsiveness.

The AMD part has advantages in process node (4 nm versus 10 nm) and memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s recorded, while Intel's is not recorded). The smaller die size of 195 mm² versus 257 mm² also suggests efficiency benefits. However, the database does not include any performance scores to confirm how those architectural differences translate into real workload results.

Given the absence of AMD benchmark data, the decision is straightforward from the recorded information. The Intel Core i7-14700HX is the processor with demonstrated performance across all major benchmark families. It ranks in the 89th percentile, has an average score of 45953, and sits within 0.2 percent of several high-end rivals.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440G cannot be recommended on measured performance because no measurements exist. Its 6-core configuration and 8 MB of L3 cache are far smaller than Intel's 20-core configuration and 33 MB of L3. The 50th percentile ranking suggests it is a mid-pack desktop processor, but that ranking is not backed by any average score or individual test results.
