AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry defines the comparison: the AMD part can be positioned against the broader CPU landscape, whereas the Intel chip can only be assessed on its architectural and specification sheet merits.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 posts an average benchmark score of 29461 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with an average score of 29447 (a 0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9654 at 29409 (0.2% behind the Ryzen AI), the Intel Core i5-13500HX at 29270 (0.7% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE at 29656 (0.7% ahead of the Ryzen AI). The data shows the Ryzen AI 7 345 sits in a tightly packed performance cluster, with all four nearest rivals within a 1.4 percentage point band.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen AI 7 345 scores 11461 points, while its single-core result reaches 1818 points. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core score of 1712 and a single-core score of 271. These results indicate a processor that scales reasonably well across thread counts, though the multi-core to single-core ratio in R23 (roughly 6.3x) reflects its 6-core, 12-thread configuration rather than a high-core-count design.

PassMark results for the AMD part show a balanced workload profile. The multi-thread score is 19927, with integer math at 63475 and floating-point math at 42621. Data compression reaches 237484, while data encryption scores 11814. Extended instructions yield 17003, and random string sorting hits 25435. The single-thread PassMark score is 3875, and physics processing scores 1089. Prime number finding is notably low at 62, a common pattern for processors without specialized prime-number acceleration.

Because the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark entries, no direct head-to-head numeric comparisons are possible. The database records zero wins for each processor in head-to-head tests. The Intel chip's percentile rank of 50 and average score of 0 are placeholders reflecting the absence of measured data, not actual performance estimates. Any performance inference for the Intel part must come from its specification sheet, which shows 8 cores and 16 threads, a 2.30 GHz base clock, and a 5.50 GHz boost clock, versus the AMD's 6 cores, 12 threads, 2.00 GHz base, and 4.60 GHz boost.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 wins in energy efficiency and platform mobility. Its TDP is 28 watts, compared to the Intel chip's 45 watts, and it uses a smaller 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm node. This makes the AMD part suited to thin-and-light systems where thermal and power budgets are tight. Its integrated Radeon 840M graphics provide a known graphics solution, and the LPDDR5X memory support in the AMD memory specification enables lower-power memory configurations. The AMD chip also holds a production status of Active and was released on 2025-01-14, giving it a newer product cycle position.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE wins on raw core count and clock speed. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it offers two additional cores and four additional threads over the AMD part. Its 5.50 GHz boost clock is 0.90 GHz higher than the AMD's 4.60 GHz, and its base clock of 2.30 GHz exceeds the AMD's 2.00 GHz. The larger 36 MB shared L3 cache dwarfs the AMD's 4 MB L3, which should benefit workloads with large working sets. The Intel chip also supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the AMD part, making it a candidate for error-sensitive compute tasks. Its PCIe Gen 5 connectivity with 16 lanes doubles the lane count and doubles the theoretical per-lane bandwidth of the AMD's Gen 4 implementation. The Intel part targets the desktop segment, where higher power draw and larger physical footprint are acceptable trade-offs for higher core and clock specifications.

The benchmark data only provides wins for the AMD side due to the missing Intel scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345's 81st percentile ranking across all CPUs indicates it outperforms the majority of processors in the database, though its nearest rivals show the competition is close. The Intel part cannot be placed in the same percentile ranking without recorded measurements.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses 6 cores and 12 threads; the Intel Core i9-14901TE uses 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for AMD and 2.30 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.60 GHz for AMD and 5.50 GHz for Intel. TDP values are 28 watts for AMD and 45 watts for Intel. Sockets differ: AMD uses Socket FP8, while Intel uses Socket 1700.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. Both share 80 KB of L1 per core, but the AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core versus Intel's 2 MB per core. L3 cache is 4 MB on the AMD chip and 36 MB shared on the Intel chip. The process node is 4 nm at TSMC for AMD, while Intel uses 10 nm with a 257 mm² die size. Memory support differs: AMD lists DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel lists DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD memory bus is dual-channel with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel memory bandwidth field is null. ECC memory support is false for AMD and true for Intel. PCIe connectivity: AMD has Gen 4 with 14 lanes, Intel has Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon 840M for AMD and UHD Graphics 770 for Intel. The market segment is Mobile for AMD and Desktop for Intel. Release dates are 2025-01-14 for AMD and 2024-06-30 for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 belongs to the Krackan Point codename within the Ryzen AI 300 generation, using a hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5c core arrangement. The Intel Core i9-14901TE is a Raptor Lake-R refresh part under the Core 14th Gen series, based on Raptor Lake architecture. The AMD side uses TSMC's 4 nm process, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die.

Core organization differs: the AMD's 6 cores and 12 threads come from the Zen 5 / Zen 5c combination, which pairs full-performance cores with compact efficiency-oriented cores in a single package. The Intel chip's 8 cores and 16 threads are all standard Raptor Lake cores, with no hybrid core layout listed in the database. The L2 cache per core is doubled on the Intel side (2 MB vs 1 MB), and the L3 cache is 9x larger on Intel (36 MB vs 4 MB), suggesting Intel's cache hierarchy is designed for larger resident data sets.

The AMD processor integrates its memory controller with dual-channel support for DDR5 and LPDDR5X, plus a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC support on the Intel chip indicates a server-leaning or reliability-focused feature set, while the AMD part omits this capability. The integrated graphics differ in architecture lineage: AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770, both entry-level integrated solutions but from different vendors and microarchitectures.

The AMD chip's 4 nm process at TSMC gives it a transistor density advantage over Intel's 10 nm process, which likely explains the lower 28-watt TDP despite a lower core count. The Intel chip's 45-watt TDP and larger die size reflect a more power-hungry design with higher clock ceilings. The PCIe difference is notable: Intel's Gen 5 with 16 lanes doubles both the lane count and the per-lane data rate compared to AMD's Gen 4 with 14 lanes, which affects expandability for discrete GPUs and NVMe storage. The release timing also separates the two: the Intel part shipped on 2024-06-30, while the AMD part arrived on 2025-01-14, making the AMD a newer product by roughly six months.
