The Verdict

The data points to a straightforward choice for most workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 delivers dominant multi-threaded performance across the PassMark suite, winning tests like data compression, encryption, and integer math by margins between 25.4 and 52 percent. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration gives it a clear structural advantage over the 4-core, 8-thread Intel part. The AMD chip also holds the edge in single-threaded Cinebench tests.

The Intel Core i3-14100T has one notable strength: it outperforms the AMD chip in Cinebench R23 multi-core by 8.8 percent. This suggests that the Intel processor's cache layout and memory architecture can excel in specific render workloads. However, this is a single data point against a broader pattern of AMD dominance.

For a mobile platform, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 offers a 4 nm process, 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, and a Radeon 840M integrated GPU. The Intel chip targets desktop Socket 1700 with a 35 watt TDP and UHD Graphics 730. The recorded benchmarks show the AMD processor is the stronger performer in nearly every category, making it the logical pick for users who want maximum throughput from their processor. The Intel part remains a sensible option for those who prioritize the specific Cinebench R23 multi-core workload or require a desktop platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single victory for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 comes in PassMark extended instructions, where it scores 15826 against 10414 for the Intel chip. That is a 52 percent advantage, indicating the Zen 5 architecture handles complex instruction sets more efficiently. Random string sorting shows a similar gap: 23488 versus 15579, a 50.8 percent lead. The AMD processor also wins data compression by 41.4 percent (215812 versus 152636) and integer math by 44.8 percent (58332 versus 40292).

Floating point math goes to AMD as well, with 39362 against 31379, a 25.4 percent margin. Data encryption shows a 33.5 percent lead (10519 versus 7881). The multithread PassMark test gives AMD 18115 versus 13662, a 32.6 percent advantage. The physics test is nearly tied, with AMD at 976 and Intel at 973, a 0.3 percent margin. The find prime numbers test is exactly even at 56 points for both.

The Cinebench R15 results heavily favor AMD. Multi-core shows 1723 versus 1170, a 47.3 percent lead. Single-core shows 254 versus 165, a 53.9 percent advantage. This is the largest single-threaded gap in the entire comparison.

The Intel Core i3-14100T takes its only win in Cinebench R23 multi-core, scoring 11612 against 10590, an 8.8 percent lead. This result stands in contrast to the PassMark multithread test, where AMD leads by 32.6 percent. The discrepancy suggests the Intel chip's 12 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache help it in sustained render workloads, while the AMD chip's higher core count wins in varied multi-threaded tasks.

Single-threaded performance in PassMark is close: AMD leads 3591 to 3498, a 2.7 percent margin. The Cinebench R23 single-core test shows a larger AMD lead of 10.2 percent (1806 versus 1639). Both processors handle single-threaded workloads competently, but the AMD chip has a consistent edge.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core i3-14100T has 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD part has a 2.00 GHz base clock and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. The Intel part has a 2.70 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock.

Thermal design power separates the two: the AMD chip has a 28 watt TDP, while the Intel chip has a 35 watt TDP. The socket is different as well: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses Socket 1700. The memory support shows divergence: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip has a rated memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel chip has no recorded bandwidth figure.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part has a Radeon 840M, the Intel part has UHD Graphics 730. ECC memory support is present on both.

The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $134. The AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD processor has a die size not listed in the database, while the Intel chip has a die size of 163 mm². The Intel chip is part of the Core 14th Gen series; the AMD chip has no recorded series designation.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses Zen 5 architecture with the codename Gorgon Point. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node is 4 nm from TSMC. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3.

The Intel Core i3-14100T uses Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R. It belongs to the Core i3 generation within the Raptor Lake Refresh family. The process node is 10 nm from Intel. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3.

The cache total differs substantially. The Intel chip has a 12 MB shared L3 cache, while the AMD chip has only 4 MB of L3. However, the AMD chip's per-core L2 matches the Intel chip at 1 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core. The AMD chip's smaller L3 is offset by its higher core count and more modern process node.

The market segments differ: AMD targets mobile, Intel targets desktop. The production status for both is active. The release dates show the Intel chip launched on 2024-01-07, while the AMD chip has a release date of 2026-01-04. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 wins in data-heavy and parallel workloads. PassMark data compression, encryption, and integer math all favor AMD by large margins. The extended instructions test shows a 52 percent lead, indicating strong performance with SIMD and specialized instruction sets. Random string sorting, a cache-sensitive workload, also goes to AMD by 50.8 percent. The multithread PassMark test confirms this pattern with a 32.6 percent advantage. For users running compression tools, encryption tasks, or multi-threaded productivity suites, the AMD chip is the clear choice.

The Intel Core i3-14100T wins only in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it leads by 8.8 percent. This specific render workload appears to benefit from the Intel chip's larger shared L3 cache and higher base clock of 2.70 GHz. The physics test is effectively a tie at 976 versus 973, showing parity in that physics simulation workload. The find prime numbers test is also tied at 56.

For single-threaded tasks, the AMD chip wins all recorded tests. The Cinebench R15 single-core margin of 53.9 percent is the largest single-threaded gap. The Cinebench R23 single-core lead is 10.2 percent, and the PassMark single-thread lead is 2.7 percent.

The overall pattern shows the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 as the dominant processor in this comparison. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration, 4 nm process, and higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz give it advantages across most benchmark categories. The Intel Core i3-14100T has a single strong result in Cinebench R23 multi-core, making it a niche pick for users who prioritize that specific workload.
