Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core i7-14700F has 20 cores and 28 threads. Base clocks are close: 2.00 GHz for AMD and 2.10 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks differ more substantially: 4.60 GHz for AMD and 5.40 GHz for Intel.

Thermal design power differs by a wide margin. The AMD part is rated at 28 W, while the Intel part is rated at 65 W. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The market segments also differ: AMD is a mobile part, Intel is a desktop part.

Memory support and PCIe generations vary. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. AMD has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory and dual-channel memory buses. AMD uses PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

The AMD part includes integrated graphics (Radeon 840M), while the Intel part has no integrated graphics (N/A). The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $359. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. Both have locked multipliers. The release dates differ: AMD released on 2026-01-04, Intel on 2024-01-07.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14700F uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, belonging to the Core i7 generation (Raptor Lake Refresh). It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel.

Cache configurations differ in capacity and organization. Both have 80 KB L1 per core. The AMD part has 1 MB L2 per core and 4 MB L3. The Intel part has 2 MB L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor has a recorded die size of 257 mm²; the AMD processor has no recorded die size.

The Intel part has a larger core count and a shared L3 cache that is significantly larger than the AMD part's L3. The AMD part uses a smaller process node from TSMC, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. These architectural differences align with the benchmark results: the Intel part's 20 cores and larger cache support its multi-threaded performance, while the AMD part's smaller node and lower TDP point toward a mobile efficiency focus.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700F wins in every recorded benchmark category. The largest advantages appear in multi-core rendering: Cinebench R23 multi-core shows a 69.8% lead, and Cinebench R15 multi-core shows a 51.3% lead. Data compression and encryption workloads also favor Intel heavily, with margins of 57.3% and 65.1% respectively. Floating-point math and integer math both show Intel leads above 60%. Physics simulation, prime number finding, and random string sorting all show Intel leads between 58% and 68.2%.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 does not win any recorded benchmark. Its closest performance relative to the Intel part appears in single-thread PassMark, where the gap narrows to 15.6%. The AMD part's advantage lies outside the benchmark scoreboard: it is a mobile processor with a 28 W TDP, integrated Radeon 840M graphics, and support for LPDDR5X memory. These features are not captured in the compute benchmarks but define its intended use case.

For workloads that stress the CPU cores, the Intel Core i7-14700F is the stronger choice by a wide margin. For a system that requires integrated graphics and a low-power mobile socket, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 provides those capabilities, but the recorded data shows no compute task where it exceeds the Intel part.
