AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE and the Intel Core i5-14401E are both 6-core, 12-thread desktop processors, but they represent distinctly different design philosophies. The data in the database shows the Intel part holds a clear performance advantage in the recorded single-threaded and multi-threaded Cinebench tests, while the AMD chip counters with a significantly more efficient platform and modern architectural features. The following analysis breaks down the recorded measurements and the core differences between the two.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-14401E is the outright winner in every benchmark category recorded in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has zero recorded benchmark scores, while the Intel processor has a full suite of Cinebench results. This is not a close contest; the Intel chip leads by substantial margins across the board.

In the multi-threaded tests, the Intel i5-14401E delivers 1830 points in Cinebench R15, 7627 points in R20, and 18161 points in R23. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has no recorded scores in these tests, meaning the database contains no direct comparison for these workloads. The performance gap is evident when looking at the Intel chip’s average benchmark score of 5253, which places it in the 60th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD part, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile position with an average benchmark score of 0 due to the absence of any recorded tests.

The single-core results follow the same pattern. The Intel processor scores 258 in Cinebench R15 single-core and 1076 in R20 single-core, with its strongest result being 2564 in Cinebench R23 single-core. These figures represent a strong showing for a 6-core part, and they highlight a clear advantage in lightly-threaded workloads. The AMD processor’s lack of any benchmark entries means that, based on the available data, the Intel i5-14401E is the only one of the two with measurable performance characteristics.

Looking at the nearest rivals for the Intel chip provides context for its performance level. The i5-14401E’s average score of 5253 is nearly identical to the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4, which scores 5259, a difference of just 0.1 percent. It also sits marginally ahead of the Intel Core i7-11700B (5241, 0.2 percent faster) and the Intel Core i9-10850K (5240, 0.2 percent faster). The closest competitor in the database is the Intel Core i5-13400T with a score of 5210, putting the i5-14401E 0.8 percent ahead. These figures indicate that the Intel processor performs in line with established mid-range desktop chips, while the AMD part’s lack of recorded data means no such positioning can be established.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different architectures and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which is based on a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401E, in contrast, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series based on the Raptor Lake Refresh. Intel fabricates this chip on its own 10 nm process.

The die sizes differ as well. The AMD processor has a die size of 195 mm², while the Intel chip is larger at 215 mm². This is notable because the AMD chip integrates its memory controller and I/O on a single die with a smaller footprint, while the Intel part uses a larger die for its Raptor Lake design.

Cache hierarchies show a clear divergence. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is different: the AMD chip uses 1 MB per core, while the Intel chip uses 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache is where the biggest difference appears. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has 8 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel Core i5-14401E has 20 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel processor 2.5 times the last-level cache, which can be a significant factor in workloads that benefit from larger data residency.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip supports only DDR5 memory, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD processor’s memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip has no recorded bandwidth figure in the database. Both processors support ECC memory, which is a point of commonality. The PCIe interface is another clear split: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Intel processor both a newer PCIe generation and more available lanes for expansion.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every measurable performance category. The database contains no benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE, so it cannot be said to win any recorded performance comparison. The Intel chip’s Cinebench results show strength in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, with its R23 multi-core score of 18161 being a particularly strong figure for a 6-core part.

The AMD processor’s advantages are not in raw benchmark performance but in platform characteristics. It has a lower TDP of 35 watts compared to the Intel chip’s 65 watts, indicating a more power-efficient design. The AMD chip uses a smaller 4 nm process node compared to Intel’s 10 nm, which contributes to this efficiency. The AMD processor also uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform, which is a newer socket compared to Intel’s Socket 1700. For users prioritizing a modern platform with lower power consumption, the AMD chip offers these benefits, though they are not reflected in benchmark scores.

The Intel chip wins on raw compute, cache capacity, and PCIe bandwidth. Its 20 MB of L3 cache versus the AMD chip’s 8 MB gives it a clear advantage in cache-sensitive applications. Its Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes is double the lane count and a generation newer than the AMD chip’s Gen 4 with 12 lanes. The Intel chip also has a higher recorded base clock of 2.50 GHz versus the AMD chip’s 2.00 GHz, though the AMD chip has a slightly higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus the Intel chip’s 4.70 GHz.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several key specification fields. The base clock is different: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE runs at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel Core i5-14401E runs at 2.50 GHz. The boost clock is closer, with the AMD chip at 4.80 GHz and the Intel chip at 4.70 GHz. The TDP is a major differentiator, with the AMD chip rated at 35 watts and the Intel chip at 65 watts. The sockets are different, with the AMD chip using AMD Socket AM5 and the Intel chip using Intel Socket 1700.

The process node differs, with the AMD chip on 4 nm and the Intel chip on 10 nm. The die size is 195 mm² for the AMD chip and 215 mm² for the Intel chip. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core for the AMD chip and 1.25 MB per core for the Intel chip. The L3 cache is 8 MB for the AMD chip and 20 MB for the Intel chip. Memory support differs, with the AMD chip supporting only DDR5 and the Intel chip supporting both DDR4 and DDR5. The memory bandwidth is recorded only for the AMD chip at 89.6 GB/s. The PCIe interface differs, with the AMD chip using Gen 4 with 12 lanes and the Intel chip using Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The integrated graphics differ, with the AMD chip using Radeon 840M and the Intel chip using UHD Graphics 730. The release dates differ, with the AMD chip released in 2026 and the Intel chip released in 2024. The part numbers are 100-000001922 for the AMD chip and Q49JSRNJS for the Intel chip. The generation names differ, with the AMD chip in the Ryzen AI PRO 400 series and the Intel chip in the Core 14th Gen series.
