Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and Intel Core i5-14401E represent fundamentally different design approaches. AMD's chip is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Gorgon Point, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation. It uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC. Intel's processor uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series, built on a 10 nm process node by Intel. The die size for Intel is 215 mm².

The AMD processor is a mobile part with an AMD Socket FP8, while Intel's chip is a desktop processor using Intel Socket 1700. This distinction drives several other differences. The AMD chip has a TDP of 28 watts, reflecting its mobile design, whereas Intel's TDP is 65 watts, typical for a desktop part.

Cache hierarchies differ notably. Both share 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache differs: AMD has 1 MB per core while Intel has 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows a larger divergence, with AMD offering 4 MB and Intel providing 20 MB shared.

PCIe support also differs. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Both support ECC memory. Integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730.

The AMD processor supports dual-channel memory with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, supporting DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 but has no listed memory bandwidth figure. The AMD release date is 2026-01-04, while Intel's release date is 2024-06-30.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. The largest margin comes in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where Intel leads by 41.7%. This points to a substantial advantage in heavily threaded workloads such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and scientific computation. The Intel chip also shows a strong 29.6% lead in Cinebench R23 single-core, indicating better performance in lightly threaded applications like web browsing, office productivity, and many games.

The Cinebench R15 results show a closer contest. Intel leads by 5.8% in multi-core and 1.6% in single-core. These smaller margins suggest that in some older or less demanding workloads, the two processors perform nearly identically.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, the recorded data shows no benchmark wins against this specific Intel rival. However, the AMD chip's lower TDP of 28 watts versus Intel's 65 watts indicates it operates in a different power envelope, making it suitable for environments where thermal and energy constraints take priority over raw performance. The AMD processor's mobile socket and support for LPDDR5X memory reinforce this positioning.

The database percentile rankings place AMD at 79% of all CPUs, while Intel sits at 60%. This means the AMD chip outperforms a larger share of the overall CPU pool despite losing to this particular Intel part. The average benchmark score for AMD is 26936, compared to Intel's 5253, though this figure likely reflects differences in the benchmark suites recorded for each processor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records four head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and Intel Core i5-14401E. Intel wins all four, but the margins vary considerably across tests.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core i5-14401E scores 18161 against AMD's 10590. This 41.7% delta is the largest in the comparison and represents the clearest separation between the two processors. The Intel chip's 20 MB of L3 cache and higher 65 W TDP likely contribute to this substantial lead in sustained multi-threaded work.

Cinebench R23 single-core shows Intel ahead at 2564 versus 1806, a 29.6% advantage. This result indicates that Intel's Raptor Lake architecture delivers stronger per-core performance in this workload, despite both processors having 6 cores and 12 threads. The higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz on Intel versus 4.60 GHz on AMD plays a role, but the architecture efficiency appears to be the dominant factor.

The Cinebench R15 results paint a different picture. In multi-core, Intel scores 1830 against AMD's 1723, a 5.8% lead. This is a much closer contest than the R23 multi-core result. The single-core R15 test shows Intel at 258 versus AMD's 254, a mere 1.6% difference. These smaller margins suggest that in less demanding or older workloads, the two processors are nearly equivalent.

The wins count in the database is 4 for Intel and 0 for AMD. The average benchmark score for Intel is 5253, while AMD's is 26936, though this discrepancy reflects different benchmark suites rather than a direct performance comparison. The nearest rivals for AMD include the Intel Core i7-1370P (0.1% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 7545U (0.3% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 5700G (-0.4% delta), and Intel Core i9-9900K (-0.6% delta). For Intel, the nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 (-0.1% delta), Intel Core i7-11700B (0.2% delta), Intel Core i9-10850K (0.2% delta), and Intel Core i5-13400T (0.8% delta).

The data confirms that Intel's desktop-oriented Raptor Lake processor holds a decisive advantage in modern multi-threaded workloads, while the AMD mobile chip remains competitive in less demanding scenarios. The AMD processor's higher percentile ranking (79% versus 60%) indicates it compares favorably against the broader CPU market, but in direct competition with this specific Intel part, the performance gap is clear and consistent across all recorded tests.
