AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Core i7-14700F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a one-sided comparison. The Intel Core i7-14700F wins every single head-to-head test recorded in the database, taking 15 wins out of 15 matchups. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 does not record a single victory in any shared workload.

The most decisive margin appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where the Intel part scores 35,122 against the AMD's 11,461. That is a delta of -67.4%, meaning the Intel processor is roughly three times faster in this heavily threaded rendering workload. The gap in Cinebench R15 multi-core is similar in proportion: Intel scores 3,540 versus 1,712, a -51.6% delta.

Single-core results are closer but still favor Intel. In Cinebench R23 single-core, Intel scores 4,958 against 1,818, a -63.3% delta. The PassMark single-thread test narrows the gap substantially: Intel scores 4,257 versus 3,875, a delta of only -9%. This indicates that the AMD chip's per-core performance is competitive in lighter single-threaded tasks, but the Intel part still holds the advantage.

In memory-sensitive and integer workloads, Intel extends its lead. PassMark integer math shows Intel at 155,808 versus AMD's 63,475, a -59.3% delta. Floating-point math follows the same pattern: Intel at 107,005 versus 42,621, a -60.2% delta. Data compression favors Intel at 505,885 versus 237,484, a -53.1% delta. Data encryption shows Intel at 30,144 versus 11,814, a -60.8% delta.

Extended instruction throughput is the narrowest multi-threaded margin: Intel scores 28,564 versus 17,003, a -40.5% delta. Even in the most favorable comparison for the AMD part, the Intel chip remains ahead by a wide margin.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is built on a 4 nm process from TSMC, codenamed Krackan Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation built around Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core i7-14700F is built on Intel's 10 nm process, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core i7 Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It has 20 cores and 28 threads.

The core counts alone explain much of the multi-threaded performance difference. The Intel part has more than three times the core count and more than double the thread count. The AMD part uses a hybrid architecture with Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, while the Intel part uses a Raptor Lake design with a mix of performance and efficiency cores, though the database does not specify the exact core composition.

Cache configurations differ significantly. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core for AMD versus 2 MB per core for Intel. The L3 cache is a major differentiator: AMD has 4 MB total, while Intel has 33 MB shared. This larger shared cache likely contributes to Intel's advantage in data-heavy workloads such as compression and encryption.

Memory support also differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but no bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. The Intel chip supports ECC memory, while the AMD chip does not.

The integrated graphics situation is reversed. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 includes a Radeon 840M iGPU. The Intel Core i7-14700F has no integrated graphics, listed as "N/A". This is a meaningful distinction for builds without a discrete GPU.

PCIe support differs by generation and lane count. The AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes. The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The newer PCIe generation on the Intel side offers more available bandwidth for expansion cards and storage.

The AMD chip is a mobile processor with a 28 W TDP on AMD Socket FP8. The Intel chip is a desktop processor with a 65 W TDP on Intel Socket 1700. The production status for both is listed as active.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy. The Intel Core i7-14700F outperforms the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 in every recorded benchmark, with deltas ranging from -9% in single-threaded PassMark to -67.4% in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The Intel part also holds a higher average benchmark score (53,620 versus 29,461) and a higher percentile ranking (91st versus 81st).

The AMD chip is not without merit. Its 28 W TDP and mobile segment designation make it suitable for laptops and low-power systems. Its integrated Radeon 840M graphics provide display output without a discrete GPU, which is not possible on the Intel part. The 4 nm TSMC process suggests better power efficiency per core, and the single-thread PassMark result shows it is only 9% behind in that specific test.

The Intel chip, however, is in a different performance class. Its 20 cores, 28 threads, higher boost clock, larger L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 support give it overwhelming advantages in multi-threaded, integer, floating-point, and encryption workloads. For desktop users who need maximum throughput, the Intel part is the clear choice based on recorded data.

The AMD part's role is better defined as a mobile processor with capable per-core performance and integrated graphics. It is not a competitor to the Intel desktop part in raw performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700F wins in every head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. It is the faster part in multi-threaded rendering (Cinebench R15 and R23 multi-core), single-threaded rendering (Cinebench R15 and R23 single-core), data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating-point math, integer math, multithreaded PassMark, physics, random string sorting, and single-thread PassMark.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 does not win any recorded test. Its closest relative performance is in the single-thread PassMark test, where it trails by only 9%. That result, combined with its 28 W TDP and integrated Radeon 840M graphics, positions it as a power-efficient mobile processor for lightweight tasks and systems that do not use a discrete GPU. Its 4 nm process and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth support that positioning.

The Intel part is the choice for heavy desktop workloads: rendering, encryption, compression, and any task that scales with core count and large shared cache. The AMD part is the choice for a mobile platform where power draw is a priority, integrated graphics are needed, and the performance gap in single-threaded tasks is acceptable. The data does not support any other use-case split.
