AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data splits sharply by workload type. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is built around efficiency and integrated graphics, while the Intel Core i5-14490F is a multithreaded performance part. The recorded benchmark suite shows only the Intel side with scores, which indicates that the AMD processor has no tested entries in the database for those same workloads. That absence is itself informative: the Intel part dominates any scenario that relies on the tested Cinebench and PassMark suites, while the AMD part wins on platform features such as a 35W TDP, ECC memory support, and a built-in Radeon 840M GPU.

The Intel Core i5-14490F delivers its strongest results in multi-core rendering and compression tasks. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 places it firmly in the high-performance desktop tier, and its PassMark multithread score of 28662 confirms that it handles parallel workloads with authority. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE, with only 6 cores and 12 threads, cannot match that kind of throughput in the same power envelope. The AMD part instead wins in scenarios where power draw and integrated graphics matter: its 35W TDP versus the Intel's 65W TDP makes it the better fit for compact or thermally constrained systems, and the Radeon 840M gives it display output capability that the Intel part lacks entirely.

For single-threaded performance, the Intel chip again leads in the recorded data. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3247 and PassMark single-thread score of 3873 are the only numbers available for comparison. The AMD part has no recorded single-core scores in the database, so the verdict must go to the Intel processor for tasks like web browsing, office work, or lightly threaded applications. However, the AMD chip's 4.80 GHz boost clock is close to the Intel's 5.00 GHz, suggesting that the gap in lightly threaded work may be narrower than the core count difference implies.

The use-case split is clear: choose the Intel Core i5-14490F for rendering, video encoding, compression, and any workload that scales with cores and threads. Choose the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE for low-power systems, servers needing ECC memory, or builds that require an integrated GPU without a discrete graphics card.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a straightforward conclusion. The Intel Core i5-14490F is the stronger processor in every measured workload category, with a percentile ranking of 86 versus the AMD part's 50. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 38149 places it among the top desktop processors, sitting within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-13600KF and 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 250. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has no recorded scores, which means the database cannot validate its performance claims in the same test suite.

The AMD part wins only on specification-level advantages. It uses a 4nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10nm process, which explains its dramatically lower 35W TDP. It supports ECC memory, a feature the Intel part lacks. It includes a Radeon 840M integrated GPU, while the Intel Core i5-14490F has no integrated graphics at all. For users who need those specific features, the AMD chip is the only choice. For raw performance, the Intel chip wins every benchmark in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14490F also offers more cores (10 versus 6), more threads (16 versus 12), a higher base clock (2.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz), and a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.80 GHz). Its 24 MB of shared L3 cache dwarfs the AMD's 8 MB. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part is limited to DDR5. The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 12 lanes. Every performance-relevant specification favors Intel.

The database records no head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. The Intel part's scores stand alone, and the AMD part has no scores to counter them. The verdict is therefore conditional: if performance is the priority, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the clear pick. If low power consumption, ECC support, or integrated graphics are non-negotiable requirements, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE is the only option that meets those needs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE and the Intel Core i5-14490F. However, the Intel part has a full set of scores across Cinebench and PassMark suites, and those provide the only measurable performance data for comparison.

The Intel Core i5-14490F's largest wins are in multi-core workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 is the highest recorded figure in its suite, followed by its Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 9660 and Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2318. The PassMark multithread score of 28662 reinforces this pattern. In compression work, the Intel chip scores 340026 in PassMark data compression, a figure that reflects its 10-core, 16-thread configuration. The AMD chip's 6-core, 12-thread design would struggle to approach these numbers, though the absence of AMD scores prevents a precise delta calculation.

Single-threaded results follow the same direction. The Intel chip's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3247 and PassMark single-thread score of 3873 are the only recorded values. Its Cinebench R20 single-core score of 1363 and Cinebench R15 single-core score of 327 complete the set. The AMD part's boost clock of 4.80 GHz is within 4% of the Intel's 5.00 GHz, so the AMD chip may be competitive in lightly threaded tasks, but the database cannot confirm this without scores.

The Intel chip also shows strength in specialized math workloads. Its PassMark integer math score of 87844 and floating point math score of 66558 are substantial figures. The PassMark extended instructions score of 21731 indicates solid SIMD performance. The PassMark find prime numbers score of 122 is lower relative to other metrics, but that is a single-threaded test and the Intel chip's 5.00 GHz boost clock likely helps. The PassMark physics score of 2093 and random string sorting score of 35608 round out the suite.

The only meaningful comparison comes from the Intel part's nearest rivals. The Intel Core i5-14490F scores 38149 on average, which is 0.1% below the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T (38194), 0.1% above the Intel Core i5-13600KF (38103), 0.2% below the AMD Ryzen 7 250 (38221), and 0.3% below the Intel Core i5-13600HX (38261). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the i5-14490F sits in a tightly contested performance tier. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE has no such rival data, which further weakens its comparative position.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, built on a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core i5 series within the 14th generation.

The manufacturing process differs significantly. AMD uses a 4nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10nm process from its own foundry. This process advantage explains the AMD chip's much lower 35W TDP despite a similar die size. The AMD die measures 195 mm², while the Intel die measures 215 mm². The smaller process node allows AMD to achieve lower power consumption with a slightly smaller die.

Cache configurations differ in structure and size. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, while Intel provides 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows the biggest gap. AMD has 8 MB of L3 cache, while Intel has 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This threefold L3 advantage helps the Intel chip in workloads that benefit from larger cache footprints.

Memory support diverges sharply. AMD supports only DDR5 memory with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel access, though the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for the Intel part. The AMD chip's ECC memory support is absent on the Intel side.

PCIe connectivity also differs. AMD provides PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip's newer PCIe standard and additional lanes give it an advantage for high-bandwidth peripherals like modern GPUs and NVMe storage.

Integrated graphics represent another major architectural difference. The AMD chip includes a Radeon 840M GPU, enabling display output without a discrete card. The Intel chip has no integrated graphics, requiring a separate GPU for any display output. The socket types differ as well: AMD uses Socket AM5, while Intel uses Socket 1700.

Specification Differences

The specification table shows clear divergences across nearly every field. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14490F uses 10 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ by 0.50 GHz, with Intel at 2.50 GHz and AMD at 2.00 GHz. Boost clocks differ by 0.20 GHz, with Intel at 5.00 GHz and AMD at 4.80 GHz.

Power consumption is the most dramatic difference. The AMD chip has a 35W TDP, while the Intel chip has a 65W TDP. This nearly two-to-one ratio reflects the process node advantage and the core count difference.

Cache specifications differ across all levels. L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. L2 cache is 1 MB per core for AMD and 1.25 MB per core for Intel. L3 cache is 8 MB for AMD and 24 MB shared for Intel.

Memory support shows a split: AMD supports only DDR5, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip's memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s, while no bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel chip. ECC memory is supported only by AMD.

PCIe capabilities favor Intel. The AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics are present only on the AMD chip, with a Radeon 840M GPU. The Intel chip lists no integrated graphics.

The release dates differ by roughly two years. The Intel Core i5-14490F was released on 2023-12-31, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440GE was released on 2026-03-01. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and both have locked multipliers. The AMD part number is 100-000001922, and the Intel part number is SRN35.

The percentile rankings reinforce the performance gap. The Intel chip sits in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD chip sits in the 50th percentile. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 38149 stands against the AMD chip's average score of 0, which reflects the absence of recorded benchmark data for the AMD part.
