AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i7-14700T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep: the Intel Core i7-14700T wins all 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons against the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445. The margins vary widely, from a modest single-thread edge to a massive multi-core gap.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 25,980 against the AMD's 10,590, a 59.2% deficit for the Ryzen AI 7 445. The single-core R23 result tells a similar story: Intel scores 3,667 versus 1,806, a 50.7% gap. Cinebench R15 follows the same pattern, with Intel leading 2,618 to 1,723 in multi-core (34.2% ahead) and 369 to 254 in single-core (31.2% ahead).

The PassMark suite confirms the trend across every workload category. The largest relative gap appears in find prime numbers, where Intel scores 145 against AMD's 56, a 61.4% advantage. Floating point math shows Intel at 79,042 versus 39,362, a 50.2% lead. Data encryption sees Intel at 21,277 versus 10,519, a 50.6% margin. Integer math favors Intel 113,854 to 58,332, a 48.8% difference. Physics tests put Intel at 1,946 against 976, a 49.8% edge.

The narrowest gap in the entire comparison is PassMark single-thread performance. Intel scores 3,905 versus AMD's 3,591, just 8% ahead. This suggests the Zen 5 core design in the AMD processor is competitive on a per-thread basis, even though the Intel chip still wins. Extended instructions show Intel ahead by 21.1%, scoring 20,052 to 15,826. Data compression and random string sorting both show Intel leading by 39.1%, with scores of 354,216 versus 215,812 and 38,546 versus 23,488 respectively. PassMark multi-thread shows Intel at 30,571 against 18,115, a 40.7% advantage.

The average benchmark score difference is substantial: Intel at 41,914 versus AMD at 26,936. This places the Intel chip in the 88th percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD processor sits in the 79th percentile.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14700T uses Raptor Lake, specifically Raptor Lake-R, on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm².

Core counts differ sharply. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel provides 20 cores and 28 threads. This thread count advantage, combined with Intel's 5.20 GHz boost clock versus AMD's 4.60 GHz, explains much of the multi-core performance gap. Intel's base clock of 1.30 GHz is lower than AMD's 2.00 GHz, but the higher boost ceiling and additional cores carry the workload.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. AMD uses 1 MB of L2 per core and 4 MB of L3 total. Intel uses 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The L3 difference is stark: 33 MB shared versus 4 MB total. This larger shared pool benefits Intel in multi-threaded workloads that repeatedly access the same data.

Memory support differs. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a measured bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with no bandwidth figure recorded. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity favors Intel. The Core i7-14700T provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Ryzen AI 7 445 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part targets the mobile segment with a 28 W TDP and an FP8 socket, while the Intel part is a desktop processor with a 35 W TDP on Socket 1700.

The Intel chip belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The AMD chip is part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part number is SRN41, and the AMD part number is 100-000001935. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data gives the Intel Core i7-14700T a clean sweep, so the question is not which processor wins a given category, but rather where the AMD part comes closest and where it falls furthest behind.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 shows its best relative performance in single-threaded workloads. The PassMark single-thread score of 3,591 trails Intel's 3,905 by only 8%. This indicates that for lightly threaded tasks, such as typical office applications or web browsing, the gap narrows considerably. The Zen 5 core design appears efficient on a per-thread basis.

The worst relative performance for AMD appears in find prime numbers, where Intel leads by 61.4%. This workload depends heavily on raw integer throughput and per-core resources. Intel's 20 cores and higher boost clock dominate here. The 33 MB shared L3 cache likely helps Intel keep working sets resident, while the AMD part's 4 MB L3 forces more frequent memory traffic.

Multi-core rendering also favors Intel heavily. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,980 versus 10,590 represents a 59.2% gap, nearly identical to the prime number margin. This pattern suggests that any workload that scales across many threads will strongly favor the Intel part. The 28-thread count versus 12 threads creates an inherent scaling advantage.

Encryption workloads show Intel ahead by 50.6%. Data compression shows Intel ahead by 39.1%. Physics simulation shows Intel ahead by 49.8%. These are all multi-threaded, sustained workloads that benefit from Intel's core count and larger cache.

For users constrained by power or thermal limits, the AMD part uses a 28 W TDP versus Intel's 35 W TDP. The AMD chip also supports LPDDR5X memory, which is common in thin-and-light mobile designs. The Intel desktop part requires a Socket 1700 motherboard and supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving platform flexibility that the AMD FP8 socket does not offer.

Its 20 cores, 28 threads, 5.20 GHz boost clock, and 33 MB shared L3 cache deliver results that the 6-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 cannot match. The average benchmark score of 41,914 versus 26,936 places the Intel part in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, compared to the AMD part's 79th percentile.

The nearest rivals for the Intel part include the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS with an average score of 41,963 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Core i7-12850HX at 41,779 (0.3% behind), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 at 42,055 (0.3% ahead), and the Intel Core 7 251TE at 41,650 (0.6% behind). The Intel Core i7-14700T sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445's nearest rivals show a different competitive landscape. The Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26,900 (0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U scores 26,849 (0.3% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G scores 27,051 (0.4% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27,097 (0.6% ahead).

The Intel Core i7-14700T is a desktop processor with a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile processor with no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part targets desktop workloads where power draw of 35 W is acceptable and performance is prioritized. The AMD part targets mobile platforms where the 28 W TDP and LPDDR5X support enable thinner designs.

For workloads that scale across threads, the Intel part is the clear choice based on the data. For single-threaded responsiveness, the gap narrows to 8%, but Intel still wins. The only areas where the AMD part shows advantages are platform-level: lower TDP, LPDDR5X support, and a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm. None of these translate into a benchmark win in the recorded data.
