AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core i9-14901KE

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and the Intel Core i9-14901KE occupy different corners of the processor market. The AMD part is a 6-core, 12-thread mobile chip built on Zen 5 architecture with a 28W TDP, while the Intel part is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop processor on Raptor Lake architecture with a 125W TDP. The database records a substantial gap in their average benchmark scores, with the AMD chip scoring 26936 and ranking at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel chip shows no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. This analysis draws exclusively from the recorded data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. Instead, the available measurements come solely from the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, which has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. The Intel Core i9-14901KE has an empty benchmark array, meaning no scores are recorded for it in any test. Without direct comparisons, the only quantifiable reference points are the AMD chip's scores and its nearest rivals.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10590 and a single-core score of 1806. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1723 multi-core and 254 single-core. These results place it in a competitive position for its class. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 18115, a single-thread score of 3591, and an average benchmark score of 26936. The chip's percentile rank of 79 indicates it outperforms roughly four out of five CPUs in the database.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the AMD chip's standing. The Intel Core i7-1370P has an average score of 26900, which is a 0.1% delta from the AMD chip's score, meaning the two are essentially tied. The AMD Ryzen 5 7545U scores 26849, a 0.3% delta, also a near tie. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G scores 27051, which is 0.4% higher than the Ryzen AI 7 445, and the Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27097, 0.6% higher. The data shows the Ryzen AI 7 445 sits in a tight cluster where differences are within a single percentage point. The Intel Core i9-14901KE, with no recorded scores, cannot be positioned in this comparison.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 demonstrates clear strengths in specific workload types based on its recorded PassMark subtests. The data compression score of 215812 is the highest among its PassMark results, indicating strong performance in tasks that involve data packing and unpacking. The integer math score of 58332 and floating point math score of 39362 show solid arithmetic throughput. The random string sorting score of 23488 suggests capable text and data organization workloads. The extended instructions score of 15826 and data encryption score of 10519 round out a balanced profile for general productivity tasks.

The find prime numbers score of 56 is notably lower than other subtests, which reflects the chip's modest core count and clock speeds in a workload that scales heavily with raw frequency. The physics score of 976 and the single-thread score of 3591 indicate moderate performance in simulation and single-threaded applications. The multi-thread score of 18115 confirms that the 6-core, 12-thread configuration provides meaningful parallel throughput for its power envelope.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmark data, so no wins can be attributed to it from the database. Its higher core count of 8 and thread count of 16, along with a boost clock of 5.80 GHz versus the AMD chip's 4.60 GHz, suggest it would likely perform better in heavily threaded and high-frequency workloads, but the absence of measured scores prevents any quantitative claim. The data simply does not support a win analysis for this processor.

The Verdict

The database provides a complete picture for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and a sparse one for the Intel Core i9-14901KE. The AMD chip has a full suite of benchmark scores, an average score of 26936, and a 79th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, all within a 0.6% delta, include the Intel Core i7-1370P, AMD Ryzen 5 7545U, AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, and Intel Core i9-9900K. The chip's performance is tightly clustered with these parts, indicating it delivers competitive results for its mobile class.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. No performance claims can be made from the data. Its specifications, including 8 cores, 16 threads, a 5.80 GHz boost clock, and 36 MB of L3 cache, indicate a higher ceiling for multi-threaded and high-frequency workloads, but the absence of measurements leaves this unverified.

The choice between these two processors depends on the workload and platform. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a mobile chip with a 28W TDP, Zen 5 architecture, and a 4 nm process, suited for portable systems where efficiency matters. Its recorded scores show balanced performance across integer math, floating point math, data compression, and encryption. The Intel Core i9-14901KE is a desktop chip with a 125W TDP, Raptor Lake architecture, and a 10 nm process, suited for desktop systems where power draw is less of a constraint. Its higher core count, larger cache, and unlocked multiplier suggest it is built for raw performance, but the database cannot confirm this without scores.

The data supports the AMD chip as the measured performer. It has a concrete average score, a percentile rank, and a set of subtests that quantify its capabilities. The Intel chip remains a specification sheet with no empirical results. For any user comparing these two, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 offers verifiable performance data, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE offers only theoretical advantages based on its specifications. The verdict from the database is that the AMD chip is the only one with recorded evidence of its performance level, and it performs at a level comparable to its nearest rivals, all within a single percentage point. The Intel chip's actual performance cannot be assessed from the available data.
