AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i5-14600T Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i5-14600T

The recorded benchmark data places the Intel Core i5-14600T decisively ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 across every measured workload. The database shows the Intel chip winning all 15 head-to-head comparisons, with a significantly higher average benchmark score of 32707 compared to the AMD's 26936. The Intel part also holds a higher percentile rank among all CPUs at 83, versus 79 for the AMD. While the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile processor built on a newer 4 nm process, the Intel desktop chip's advantage in core count and cache capacity translates into a consistent performance lead, though the margin varies widely depending on the test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest gap between the two processors appears in multi-core rendering workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core i5-14600T scores 22447 against the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445's 10590, a delta of -52.8% for the AMD part. This means the Intel chip delivers more than double the multi-threaded rendering performance. A similar trend shows in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where Intel leads with 2262 versus 1723, a -23.8% difference. The single-core Cinebench results also favor Intel, with the R23 single-core score at 3169 versus 1806, a -43% delta, and the R15 single-core at 319 versus 254, a -20.4% delta. These results indicate that the Intel chip has a substantial advantage in both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded CPU-bound tasks.

The PassMark suite confirms the Intel dominance but reveals a more nuanced picture in specific instruction tests. In PassMark integer math, Intel scores 95112 against AMD's 58332, a -38.7% delta. Floating point math shows a -39.2% delta, with Intel at 64726 and AMD at 39362. The encryption test shows a -42.3% delta, with Intel scoring 18226 versus AMD's 10519. Data compression also favors Intel with a -28.5% delta (301827 versus 215812). The physics test displays one of the larger gaps at -47.9%, with Intel scoring 1873 against AMD's 976. Prime number finding shows the steepest relative deficit for AMD at -53.7%, with scores of 121 for Intel and 56 for AMD.

However, the closest competition appears in single-threaded PassMark tests. The PassMark single-thread test shows Intel at 3744 versus AMD at 3591, a narrow -4.1% delta. Extended instructions also remain relatively close, with Intel at 16985 and AMD at 15826, a -6.8% delta. Random string sorting shows a -31.5% delta (34310 versus 23488), while multithread testing shows a -31.4% delta (26409 versus 18115). Across all recorded tests, the Intel Core i5-14600T maintains a lead, but the smallest margins are in single-thread and extended instruction workloads, suggesting the AMD Zen 5 architecture is competitive in specific low-latency tasks despite the overall deficit.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark results indicate that the Intel Core i5-14600T is the clear winner for multi-core productivity and content creation. Its performance in Cinebench R23 multi-core at 22447 and PassMark multithread at 26409 shows strong scaling across its 14 cores and 20 threads. Tasks that rely on parallel execution, such as video rendering, 3D modeling, and scientific computing, will benefit from the Intel chip's higher throughput. The data also shows Intel ahead in integer and floating point math, which are foundational for general computing and simulation workloads. The physics test score of 1873 versus 976 further supports Intel's advantage in simulation and physics-based applications.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 does not win any recorded benchmark, but its performance profile suggests it is not without merit. The single-thread PassMark score of 3591 trails Intel's 3744 by only 4.1%, indicating that the Zen 5 architecture delivers respectable per-core performance. The extended instructions score of 15826 versus 16985 shows a modest 6.8% gap, meaning the AMD chip is competitive in workloads that use advanced instruction sets, such as cryptography or certain media codecs. Given its 28-watt TDP and mobile socket, the AMD processor appears designed for power-constrained environments where raw performance is secondary to efficiency. The database shows no benchmark wins for the AMD part, but its lower TDP and mobile market segment suggest it targets thin-and-light laptops rather than high-performance desktops.

For users prioritizing battery life and portability, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 offers a viable option with its 28-watt TDP and integrated Radeon 840M graphics. The Intel Core i5-14600T, with a 35-watt TDP and UHD Graphics 770, targets desktop systems where power draw is less critical. The data shows Intel winning all 15 head-to-head tests, but the AMD chip's single-thread performance remains within striking distance, making it suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing, office applications, and light coding where the larger multi-core gap is less relevant.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14600T uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process by Intel. The AMD chip belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which pairs Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, while the Intel chip is part of the Core i5 Raptor Lake Refresh. The process node difference is notable, with AMD using a smaller 4 nm process versus Intel's 10 nm, which typically affects power efficiency and transistor density. The Intel die size is 257 mm², while the AMD die size is not recorded. Both processors support ECC memory, but memory bandwidth is only listed for AMD at 89.6 GB/s. AMD's integrated graphics are Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD chip is a mobile processor, while the Intel chip is a desktop processor. Both have locked multipliers, meaning neither supports overclocking. The cache hierarchy reflects their different designs: AMD's 4 MB L3 is much smaller than Intel's 24 MB shared L3, which contributes to the Intel chip's advantage in multi-threaded workloads. The AMD part's 6 cores on Zen 5 architecture deliver competitive single-thread performance, as the 4.1% gap in PassMark single-thread shows, but the Intel chip's higher core count and larger cache provide a substantial overall performance lead in the recorded data.
