AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark results show a split decision between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 wins two tests, and the Intel Core i5-14401E wins two tests, creating a balanced but sharply divided performance profile.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 2477 against Intel's 1830, a commanding 35.4% advantage. This is the largest margin in either direction across all shared benchmarks. The AMD part also takes the single-core R15 test, scoring 294 versus 258, a 14% lead. These results indicate that in shorter, lower-duration workloads, the Ryzen AI 7 350 holds a clear edge.

The picture reverses in Cinebench R23. The Intel Core i5-14401E delivers 18161 in multicore versus AMD's 16014.5, an 11.8% advantage for Intel. In single-core R23, Intel extends its lead further, scoring 2564 against AMD's 1958, a 23.6% margin. The R23 results suggest that under sustained or more demanding loads, the Intel architecture pulls ahead, particularly in single-threaded performance where the delta is substantial.

Notably, the two processors do not share the same benchmark suite beyond these four tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 has additional measurements across Geekbench and Passmark, while the Intel part lacks those entries in the database. For instance, the AMD chip records a Geekbench multicore score of 11676 and a single-core score of 2164, along with Passmark results such as 24935 in multithread and 3834 in single-thread. These figures cannot be directly compared to the Intel chip due to missing data, but they contribute to AMD's overall average benchmark score of 34222, which places it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel Core i5-14401E, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 5253 and sits at the 60th percentile.

The nearest rival data for each part puts these scores into context. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350's average score of 34222 is effectively tied with the AMD EPYC 4244P (34220, 0% delta) and sits within 0.4% of the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34083). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X by just 0.1% (34260) and the Intel Core i5-13450HX by 0.3% (34333). The Intel Core i5-14401E's average of 5253 is nearly identical to the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 (5259, -0.1% delta) and the Intel Core i7-11700B (5241, 0.2%). It is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-10850K (5240) and 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13400T (5210). These deltas reveal that the Intel part's average score is depressed by the limited number of benchmarks in its record, while the AMD part benefits from a broader, higher-scoring test set.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different platforms. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Krackan Point, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation that mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R from the Core 14th Gen series, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die. These process and design differences account for the divergent power and efficiency profiles.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both use the same 80 KB L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs slightly: AMD has 1 MB per core, Intel has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache is a larger differentiator, with Intel providing 20 MB shared versus AMD's 8 MB. This larger L3 on the Intel part likely contributes to its R23 single-core advantage, as more cache can improve hit rates in sustained workloads.

Clock speeds also diverge. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has a higher base clock of 2.50 GHz but a lower boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Thermal design power is markedly different: the AMD chip is rated at 28 W, while the Intel chip is rated at 65 W. This makes the AMD part a mobile-oriented, low-power design while the Intel part targets desktop use with a higher power envelope.

Memory support and platform features differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Core i5-14401E supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. The AMD chip does not support ECC memory, while the Intel chip does. PCIe capability also differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics set the two apart. The AMD part uses the Radeon 860M, a modern integrated GPU. The Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD chip sits in an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The market segments confirm the intended use cases: AMD is listed as Mobile, Intel as Desktop.

The AMD part was released on 2025-01-05, while the Intel part was released on 2024-06-30. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database. The AMD part number is 100-000001601; the Intel part number is Q49JSRNJS.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two processors with opposite strengths. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 delivers a decisive 35.4% win in Cinebench R15 multicore and a 14% win in R15 single-core, demonstrating strong short-burst performance at a much lower 28 W TDP. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 5.00 GHz boost clock, support its mobile positioning and its average benchmark score of 34222 at the 84th percentile.

The Intel Core i5-14401E counters with an 11.8% advantage in Cinebench R23 multicore and a 23.6% advantage in R23 single-core. Its larger 20 MB L3 cache, higher 2.50 GHz base clock, and 65 W TDP reflect a desktop design that sustains performance in longer workloads. The Intel part also supports ECC memory and uses PCIe Gen 5, features absent from the AMD chip. Its average benchmark score of 5253 at the 60th percentile, however, is far lower, though this is partly due to the limited benchmark set recorded for it.

The choice depends on the workload and platform. For mobile use with lower power consumption, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is the only viable option given its Socket FP8 and 28 W design. For desktop systems where sustained single-threaded performance and ECC support matter, the Intel Core i5-14401E on Socket 1700 is the stronger candidate. The data does not support a universal winner; it supports a workload-specific split.
