AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a clear split between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the Intel Core i3-14100F, with the AMD part winning 13 of the 15 head-to-head comparisons. The most dramatic margins come in the PassMark suite, where the Ryzen AI 7 345 consistently posts double-digit leads. In data compression, the AMD chip scores 237,484 against 176,106 for the Intel part, a 34.9% advantage. Integer math shows a 39.9% gap, with 63,475 versus 45,357. Extended instructions deliver the largest single margin at 41.9%, with scores of 17,003 and 11,984. Random string sorting is similarly lopsided at 44.5%, where the AMD processor records 25,435 against 17,596.

The data encryption test confirms the pattern, with the Ryzen AI 7 345 scoring 11,814 versus 8,922, a 32.4% win. Floating-point math adds another 20.5% margin, 42,621 to 35,370. The multithread PassMark score follows suit: 19,927 for the AMD part against 15,420 for the Intel, a 29.2% difference. Even the single-thread PassMark results favor the AMD chip, though narrowly: 3,875 versus 3,778, a 2.6% edge. The physics test is nearly a tie, with the AMD part ahead by just 1.1%, 1,089 to 1,077. Prime number finding is the closest result of all, with the AMD processor winning by 1.6% at 62 versus 61.

The Cinebench results tell a different story. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins decisively, scoring 1,712 against 1,318, a 29.9% margin. The single-core R15 test is even more one-sided, with the AMD part at 271 versus 186, a 45.7% advantage. But in Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i3-14100F takes control. The multicore R23 run shows the Intel part scoring 13,084 versus 11,461, a 12.4% lead for Intel. The R23 single-core test is much closer, with Intel ahead by only 1.6%, 1,847 to 1,818.

The overall benchmark averages reflect the dominant pattern. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 posts an average benchmark score of 29,461, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core i3-14100F averages 18,519, good for the 72nd percentile. The AMD processor's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X at 29,447 (0% delta) and the AMD EPYC 9654 at 29,409 (0.2% delta). The Intel part sits alongside the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18,511 (0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE at 18,505 (0.1% delta).

Where Each One Wins

The workload split is stark. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 dominates in data-oriented and throughput-heavy tasks. Its 34.9% lead in data compression makes it the stronger choice for archiving, database workloads, and compression pipelines. The 32.4% encryption advantage points to better performance in security-related operations and hashing. Integer math, where the AMD chip leads by 39.9%, indicates stronger general-purpose compute in applications that rely heavily on integer operations, such as financial modeling, scientific calculations, and some engineering simulations.

The extended instructions result, a 41.9% margin, suggests the AMD processor handles SIMD and specialized instruction sets more efficiently. This translates to advantages in media encoding, certain scientific workloads, and applications that leverage AVX-style instructions. The random string sorting lead of 44.5% reinforces the pattern of the AMD part excelling in data manipulation and sorting algorithms. The multithread PassMark score, 29.2% higher, confirms that heavily threaded workloads generally favor the AMD chip.

The Intel Core i3-14100F wins where sustained multi-core rendering is the primary concern. Its 12.4% lead in Cinebench R23 multicore is the most significant Intel win in the dataset. This suggests that rendering workloads, particularly those using Cinebench's rendering engine, respond better to the Intel architecture's thread scheduling. The R23 single-core margin is slim at 1.6%, so the practical difference in single-threaded applications is minimal, but the Intel part does hold the edge in that specific test.

The PassMark physics test is essentially a wash, with the AMD part ahead by only 1.1%. Prime number finding is likewise nearly identical, with a 1.6% AMD advantage. These near-ties indicate that some compute patterns are insensitive to the architectural differences between the two parts. For daily desktop use, the single-thread PassMark scores, separated by just 2.6%, suggest comparable responsiveness in most applications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses the Krackan Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c hybrid architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i3-14100F uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series, and is built on Intel's 10 nm process with the Raptor Lake architecture. Its die size is 163 mm².

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD part packs 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part uses 4 cores and 8 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs slightly: the AMD chip has 1 MB per core, while the Intel chip has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache is a major differentiator, with the AMD processor offering only 4 MB compared to the Intel processor's 12 MB shared L3.

Clock speeds show the Intel part with a higher base clock of 3.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for the AMD chip. Boost clocks are close, with the Intel part at 4.70 GHz and the AMD part at 4.60 GHz. Thermal design power differs significantly: the AMD processor is rated at 28 W, while the Intel processor draws 58 W. This makes the AMD part a mobile-oriented design, which is consistent with its AMD Socket FP8 and mobile market segment, while the Intel part targets desktops with Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but has no bandwidth figure recorded. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part. PCIe connectivity shows the Intel chip using Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes. The AMD processor includes integrated Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel Core i3-14100F has no integrated graphics. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
