Cinebench R15 single-core also goes to AMD, with a 12% lead (271 versus 242).

The Intel part takes the multi-core crown decisively. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 17035 versus AMD's 11461, a 32.7% gap. Cinebench R23 single-core also favors Intel, 2405 versus 1818, a 24.4% delta. PassMark physics shows Intel ahead by 41.5% (1860 versus 1089). Prime number finding is a standout for Intel: 143 versus 62, a 56.6% advantage. Floating point math goes to Intel by 15.1% (50219 versus 42621). Integer math is closer, with Intel ahead by 3.5% (65792 versus 63475). PassMark multithread is nearly even, Intel winning 20042 versus 19927, a 0.6% delta. Cinebench R15 multi-core is the tightest result: Intel scores 1716 against AMD's 1712, a 0.2% difference.

The overall picture shows AMD winning in single-threaded throughput and several data-processing workloads, while Intel dominates in multi-threaded rendering, physics simulation, and prime number computation. The average benchmark scores reflect this split, with AMD at 29461 and Intel at 26013, though the Intel part's lower average comes from a smaller set of recorded tests.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are close: 2.00 GHz for AMD versus 2.10 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks diverge more, with Intel reaching 5.20 GHz versus AMD's 4.60 GHz.

Thermal design power differs by 17 watts. The AMD part is rated at 28 W TDP, while the Intel part is rated at 45 W TDP. This reflects the mobile versus desktop positioning.

Cache specifications show clear differences in L2 and L3. Both use 80 KB L1 per core, but AMD uses 1 MB L2 per core while Intel uses 2 MB per core. L3 is 4 MB on the AMD chip versus 33 MB shared on the Intel chip.

Memory support differs in type and ECC capability. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X; Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. AMD has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel's bandwidth is not listed. ECC memory is supported only on Intel.

Process node and foundry show the manufacturing gap: 4 nm TSMC for AMD versus 10 nm Intel for Intel. Die size is only recorded for Intel at 257 mm².

Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 840M on AMD versus UHD Graphics 770 on Intel. Production status is Active for both. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. Release dates are separate, with AMD launching on 2025-01-14 and Intel on 2024-06-30.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two processors built for different primary roles. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, with its 28 W TDP, mobile socket, and 4 nm TSMC process, is a power-efficient mobile chip. The Intel Core i7-14701TE, with a 45 W TDP, desktop socket, and 10 nm Intel process, is a higher-power desktop part.

The Intel chip wins more head-to-head benchmarks (8 versus 7), and its wins in Cinebench R23 multi-core (32.7% ahead) and PassMark physics (41.5% ahead) are substantial. The AMD chip counters with a massive 46.9% lead in PassMark single-thread, plus wins in extended instructions, random string sorting, data compression, and data encryption.

Average benchmark scores favor AMD, with 29461 versus 26013. This is partly because the AMD chip has a higher percentile ranking (81st versus 78th), but the Intel chip's scores are not directly comparable across all workloads since the two have different test suites recorded.

For users prioritizing multi-core rendering, physics simulation, and prime number computation, the Intel part is the clear choice based on its 32.7%, 41.5%, and 56.6% respective leads. For single-threaded responsiveness, data compression, encryption, and extended instruction workloads, the AMD part delivers superior results, especially with its 46.9% single-thread advantage.

The ECC memory support on Intel and the larger 33 MB L3 cache add to its appeal for stability-focused desktop builds. The AMD chip's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and LPDDR5X support suit mobile platforms where power efficiency matters.
