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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Core i7-14700T wins all 15 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345. The largest margins appear in multi-threaded workloads, where Intel's core count advantage becomes decisive. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Core i7-14700T scores 25,980 against the Ryzen AI 7 345's 11,461, a 55.9% gap. Cinebench R15 multi-core shows a similar pattern, with Intel at 2,618 versus AMD's 1,712, a 34.6% deficit for the Ryzen part.

Single-core results also favor Intel, though the margin narrows considerably. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the Core i7-14700T posts 3,667 versus 1,818 for the Ryzen AI 7 345, a 50.4% lead. Cinebench R15 single-core shows Intel ahead by 26.6%, scoring 369 against 271. The closest contest in the entire dataset is PassMark single-thread: Intel scores 3,905, AMD scores 3,875, a margin of only 0.8%. This near-tie indicates that per-thread performance is comparable, and the large multi-core gaps stem primarily from core count rather than architectural efficiency.

PassMark workloads reinforce Intel's dominance across varied instruction types. Integer math sees Intel at 113,854 versus 63,475, a 44.2% advantage. Floating-point math shows Intel at 79,042 versus 42,621, a 46.1% lead. Data encryption favors Intel by 44.5%, with scores of 21,277 and 11,814. Data compression shows Intel at 354,216 versus 237,484, a 33% gap. Prime number finding is the most lopsided test: Intel scores 145, AMD scores 62, a 57.2% difference. Extended instructions, a measure of SIMD and multimedia workloads, shows Intel ahead by 15.2%, the smallest multi-threaded margin. Random string sorting favors Intel by 34%, and physics simulation by 44%.

The aggregate benchmark scores confirm the hierarchy. The Intel Core i7-14700T has an average benchmark score of 41,914, placing it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 averages 29,461, sitting in the 81st percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS (delta -0.1%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 (delta -0.3%), while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 sits closest to the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (delta 0%) and the Intel Core i5-13500HX (delta 0.7%).

Architecture Differences

The two processors target different market segments and use fundamentally different silicon. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is a mobile processor using the Krackan Point codename, built on the Ryzen AI 300 generation with a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c core configuration. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14700T is a desktop part from the Core 14th Gen series, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, using the Raptor Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process. The die size for Intel is 257 mm²; the AMD part has no recorded die size.

Core counts differ sharply. The Ryzen AI 7 345 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Core i7-14700T has 20 cores and 28 threads. This 14-core gap explains the multi-threaded benchmark margins. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 1.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Despite the lower base clock, Intel's higher boost and greater core count deliver superior throughput.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 4 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel part has 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 pool gives Intel a substantial advantage in workloads that benefit from shared data locality.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i7-14700T supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure. Intel also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. PCIe capabilities differ as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part uses the Radeon 840M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 35 watts, reflecting the desktop versus mobile positioning. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The recorded data leads to a clear verdict: the Intel Core i7-14700T is the faster processor in every measured benchmark. It wins all 15 head-to-head tests, with margins ranging from 0.8% in single-threaded PassMark to 57.2% in prime number finding. The average benchmark score is 41,914 versus 29,461, a difference of 12,453 points. The Intel part sits in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 81st percentile.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is not without merit, but its strengths lie outside the performance data. It is a mobile processor with a lower TDP of 28 watts, a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm), and support for LPDDR5X memory. The data indicates its single-thread performance is close to Intel's, trailing by only 0.8% in PassMark single-thread. However, in every multi-threaded test, the Core i7-14700T leads by at least 15.2% and often by more than 40%.

For users who prioritize raw compute throughput, the Intel Core i7-14700T is the choice. Its 20 cores and 28 threads, combined with 33 MB of shared L3 cache and a 5.20 GHz boost clock, deliver results that the 6-core, 12-thread AMD part cannot match. The Intel part also supports ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5, features absent from the AMD part. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, on the other hand, is positioned for mobile platforms where power efficiency and a compact process node matter more than peak multi-threaded performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700T wins in every recorded benchmark category. The largest advantages appear in multi-threaded compute tasks: Cinebench R23 multi-core (55.9% ahead), find prime numbers (57.2% ahead), and floating-point math (46.1% ahead). These results reflect the Intel part's 20-core, 28-thread configuration and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part also wins in data-heavy workloads such as compression (33% ahead) and encryption (44.5% ahead), as well as integer math (44.2% ahead). Its extended instructions score is 15.2% ahead, the smallest multi-threaded margin, suggesting the AMD part competes more closely in SIMD-type workloads.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 does not win a single recorded benchmark, but its strongest showing is in PassMark single-thread, where it trails by only 0.8%. This indicates the Zen 5 / Zen 5c architecture delivers per-thread performance nearly on par with Intel's Raptor Lake design. The AMD part's advantages are structural rather than performance-based: it uses a 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm node, has a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 35 watts, and supports LPDDR5X memory. For mobile platforms where power draw and process efficiency are priorities, the AMD part has a clear positioning, even though the recorded data shows it lagging in every compute test.
