AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i9-14900F Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous. The Intel Core i9-14900F wins every single head-to-head comparison in the database, taking all 15 recorded tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 does not register a single win. The average benchmark score of the Intel part is 60,008, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD mobile chip averages 26,936 and sits in the 79th percentile. The Intel Core i9-14900F is a desktop processor with 24 cores and 32 threads, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile chip with 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part targets users who need maximum multi-threaded throughput, heavy compute loads, or high-frequency single-core performance. The AMD part targets power-constrained mobile systems, where its 28 TDP rating and integrated Radeon 840M graphics are relevant. The data shows no scenario where the AMD chip wins on raw performance. The Intel Core i9-14900F, with a launch MSRP of $524, is the clear performance choice. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is the choice for portable systems where power draw and integrated graphics matter more than brute compute. The verdict from the recorded measurements: the Intel Core i9-14900F is the dominant processor in every benchmarked category.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm process node manufactured by TSMC. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The codename is Gorgon Point. The Intel Core i9-14900F uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel. Its codename is Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The die size of the Intel part is 257 mm², while the AMD chip does not have a recorded die size in the database.

The core configurations differ substantially. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel chip has 24 cores and 32 threads. Both have an L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel L3 cache is nine times larger in total capacity, which explains part of its multi-threaded advantage.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmark data, the Intel Core i9-14900F wins all 15 head-to-head tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 has zero wins in the database. The Intel chip is the winner for every compute-intensive use case: multi-threaded rendering (Cinebench R23 multi-core at 39,551), data encryption (34,644), integer math (177,066), and physics simulations (2,899). Its 36 MB shared L3 cache and 5.80 GHz boost clock support high-frequency single-threaded workloads, as shown in Cinebench R23 single-core (5,583) and passmark single-thread (4,506).

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 does not win any benchmark, but its specifications point to a different use case. The 28 TDP rating makes it suitable for thin-and-light mobile systems. The integrated Radeon 840M graphics eliminate the need for a separate GPU in basic display tasks. The LPDDR5X memory support and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth serve portable devices. The AMD chip's socket, AMD Socket FP8, and mobile market segment confirm its role in laptops.

The Intel chip, with its 65 TDP, desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700), and no integrated graphics, targets desktop builds with discrete GPUs. Its 24 cores and 32 threads handle heavily parallel workloads. Its Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes provides bandwidth for modern expansion cards. The Intel chip is the winner for all recorded performance metrics. The AMD chip is the choice for mobile systems where power efficiency, integrated graphics, and compact integration are priorities, even though the performance data shows it trailing in every test.
