AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and the Intel Core i9-14901TE occupy opposite corners of the processor market. The Ryzen AI 7 350 is a mobile-first, low-power part built for thin laptops, while the i9-14901TE is a desktop-oriented chip with a higher power envelope. The recorded data shows a clear split: the AMD part has a full suite of benchmark scores, while the Intel part has no recorded measurements in the database. This absence of data forces the analysis to rely on the architectural specifications and the established performance profile of the AMD side.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. The `headToHeadBenchmarks` field is empty, and the Intel Core i9-14901TE has zero benchmark entries across all tested workloads. Consequently, any comparison must be framed around the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350’s absolute scores and its position relative to other CPUs in the database, rather than a direct score-by-score duel.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 delivers a multi-core score of 16,014.5 in Cinebench R23 and 1,958 in the single-core test. In Geekbench, it records 11,676 multi-core and 2,164 single-core. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 24,935, a single-thread score of 3,834, and a physics score of 1,349. The floating-point math result is 53,230, integer math is 85,651, and extended instructions score 21,678. Data compression reaches 304,089, data encryption hits 15,244, random string sorting is 33,266, and the find prime numbers test yields 80.

These numbers place the Ryzen AI 7 350 at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 34,222. The nearest rivals confirm its standing: the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34,220 (a 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X scores 34,260 (a -0.1% delta), the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34,333 (a -0.3% delta), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34,083 (a +0.4% delta). The Ryzen AI 7 350 sits squarely between these four parts, with the Ultra 7 165H being the only rival that it trails, and by a margin of just 0.4%.

Because the Intel i9-14901TE has no scores, the database cannot show a single instance where it wins or loses against the Ryzen AI 7 350. The wins tally is zero for both sides in the head-to-head field. What can be stated is that the Ryzen AI 7 350’s performance is competitive with a range of desktop and mobile parts from both AMD and Intel, as shown by the rival deltas. The 3700X, a well-known desktop processor, is effectively tied with the Ryzen AI 7 350 in average score, differing by only 0.1%. The i5-13450HX, a mobile chip, is 0.3% ahead. The EPYC 4244P is an exact match at 0%. This establishes the Ryzen AI 7 350 as a processor whose average throughput is comparable to those established parts.

Where Each One Wins

The data defines the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350’s strengths across specific workload types. Its PassMark integer math score of 85,651 is nearly double its floating-point math result of 53,230, indicating a strong showing in integer-heavy tasks such as general productivity, database operations, and scripting. The data compression score of 304,089 is the highest single metric in its benchmark set, suggesting that compression and decompression workloads, common in archiving and data transfer, are a clear strength. Encryption performance is comparatively modest at 15,244, and the prime number finding score of 80 is low, which points to weaker performance in certain cryptographic or mathematical workloads.

The single-core results are consistent. Cinebench R23 single-core is 1,958, and Geekbench single-core is 2,164. The PassMark single-thread score of 3,834 aligns with these, indicating a capable single-threaded performer for everyday responsiveness and lightly threaded applications. The physics score of 1,349 is relatively low, which suggests that physics simulation in gaming or scientific contexts is not a primary strength.

For the Intel Core i9-14901TE, the database contains no benchmark scores, so no wins can be attributed to it in any workload category. However, its specifications provide a qualitative picture. It has a higher base clock of 2.30 GHz and a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz compared to the AMD’s 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. The Intel chip also carries a larger L3 cache of 36 MB shared, versus the AMD’s 8 MB. These traits typically favor workloads that are cache-sensitive and clock-hungry, such as certain database queries or latency-sensitive applications, but the lack of measurements prevents any quantitative claim. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which is not available on the AMD part, and that feature matters for error-sensitive computing environments.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 uses the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Krackan Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, and is part of the Core 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh series. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a larger die size of 257 mm².

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the thread count is identical. The cache layouts differ. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part also has 80 KB of L1 per core, but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core, and offers 36 MB of shared L3. This gives the Intel chip a significant total cache advantage, which can reduce memory latency for frequently accessed data.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i9-14901TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe connectivity is another differentiator. The AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The newer Gen 5 standard offers higher transfer rates for compatible devices, though the actual benefit depends on the peripherals attached.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 includes a Radeon 860M, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE includes UHD Graphics 770. The database does not provide benchmark scores for either iGPU, so no performance comparison is possible.

Power and thermal characteristics are markedly different. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 45 watts. This nearly 60% higher power envelope for the Intel chip indicates it is designed for a desktop socket with more cooling headroom, while the AMD chip is optimized for mobile platforms. The socket also differs: the AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is classified as a mobile segment product, while the Intel part is a desktop segment product.

Release dates are close. The AMD part was released on January 5, 2025, and the Intel part on June 30, 2024. Both are active in production. Neither has a launch MSRP listed in the database, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data presents an incomplete comparison because the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark results. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, by contrast, is fully measured and sits at the 84th percentile, with an average score of 34,222. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD EPYC 4244P, the Ryzen 7 3700X, the Intel i5-13450HX, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H, all fall within a 0.4% band of its average score. This places the Ryzen AI 7 350 in a well-established mid-to-high performance tier.

For the Intel Core i9-14901TE, the only facts available are its specifications. It is a desktop chip with a 45 W TDP, a 5.50 GHz boost clock, 36 MB of L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and ECC memory compatibility. These traits suggest it is intended for desktop systems where power draw and cooling are less constrained. The 50th percentile ranking, with an average score of 0, reflects the lack of measurement data, not a performance verdict.

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 is the only one of the two with a demonstrable performance profile. It is a strong mobile processor that matches or slightly trails several established desktop and mobile CPUs in average score. Users who need a mobile part with measured multi-core and single-core performance across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark should look to the Ryzen AI 7 350. The Intel Core i9-14901TE, without any scores, cannot be recommended on measured performance from this database. Its higher clock speeds, larger cache, and ECC support make it a plausible choice for desktop workloads that value those features, but the absence of benchmark data means any such claim is speculative. The database supports the AMD part as the only one with verified performance results.
