AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data in the database shows a decisive performance advantage for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 across all 15 recorded head-to-head comparisons. The AMD part wins every single test, with the margin of victory varying widely by workload type.

The largest gap appears in Cinebench R15 multicore, where the Ryzen AI 7 450 scores 2713 against 1318 for the Intel Core i3-14100F, a 105.8% advantage. This is the only test in the set where the AMD processor more than doubles the Intel score. The second-largest margin is in PassMark random string sorting, where the AMD chip scores 35648 versus 17596, a 102.6% delta, meaning it completes the sorting workload in roughly half the time.

Integer math shows a similarly lopsided result. The Ryzen AI 7 450 posts 88531 in PassMark integer math compared to 45357 for the Core i3-14100F, a 95.2% lead. Extended instructions follow at 86.9% (22400 versus 11984), and data encryption is close behind at 82.1% (16247 versus 8922). Data compression shows a 79.4% advantage, with scores of 315906 and 176106 respectively.

Multithreaded throughput strongly favors the AMD part. PassMark multithread shows 26350 versus 15420, a 70.9% lead. The Cinebench R23 multicore result is less extreme but still substantial: 18316 versus 13084, a 40% advantage. Floating point math lands at 53.9% (54447 versus 35370), while physics simulation shows 1578 versus 1077, a 46.5% delta. Prime number finding favors AMD by 45.9% (89 versus 61).

Single-thread performance tells a different story in terms of magnitude. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 leads in Cinebench R23 single-core by 10.3% (2038 versus 1847) and in Cinebench R15 single-core by 15.6% (215 versus 186). The PassMark single-thread test shows the smallest gap of all: 3901 versus 3778, just a 3.3% edge. This suggests that while the AMD architecture holds a clear single-thread advantage, it is modest compared to the multi-threaded margins, which are amplified by the core count difference.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture. The Ryzen AI 7 450 records an average score of 39485, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core i3-14100F averages 18519, in the 72nd percentile. The nearest rivals for the AMD part include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS with an average score of 39603 (0.3% lower), the Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS at 39325 (0.4% higher), and the Ryzen 7 9800X3D at 39768 (0.7% lower). The Intel part sits alongside the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18511, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE at 18505, and the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18380.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation that mixes Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i3-14100F uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series within the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. Intel fabricates it on a 10 nm process with a die size of 163 mm².

Core and thread counts differ sharply. The AMD part provides 8 cores and 16 threads, double the 4 cores and 8 threads of the Intel chip. This structural difference directly explains the large multicore deltas in the benchmark data. The base clocks also differ: the AMD processor runs at 2.00 GHz, while the Intel processor has a higher base clock of 3.50 GHz. Boost clocks reverse that order, with AMD reaching 5.10 GHz versus 4.70 GHz for Intel.

Cache configurations are organized differently. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 on the Intel side is worth noting in light of its lower core count, but the benchmark results do not show a compensating advantage.

Platform support and connectivity differ meaningfully. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile platform, and supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration with 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It offers PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes and includes integrated Radeon 860M graphics. The Intel Core i3-14100F uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode; the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. It offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes and has no integrated graphics, indicated as N/A. Both parts support ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The power envelope is substantially different. The AMD chip carries a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel chip is rated at 58 watts. The AMD part achieves its performance lead while drawing less power on paper, though the database does not include measured power consumption data. The process node advantage, 4 nm versus 10 nm, likely contributes to this efficiency gap, but the database records only the fabrication figures, not derived efficiency metrics.

Release timing also separates the two. The Intel Core i3-14100F entered the market in January 2024, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has a reported release date of January 2026. The production status for both is listed as active, and both are locked processors without an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not leave room for ambiguity. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 outperforms the Intel Core i3-14100F in every benchmark included in the database, with margins ranging from 3.3% in PassMark single-thread to 105.8% in Cinebench R15 multicore. The average benchmark score of 39485 versus 18519 places the AMD part in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, 15 points above the Intel part's 72nd percentile.

Workload type changes the size of the advantage but not its direction. Multithreaded workloads show the largest gains for the AMD chip, driven by its 8-core, 16-thread configuration against the Intel chip's 4 cores and 8 threads. Single-thread workloads show a smaller but consistent lead, with the AMD part ahead by 3.3% to 15.6% depending on the test. The AMD processor also carries a lower TDP of 28 watts versus 58 watts, a mobile-oriented socket (FP8), integrated Radeon 860M graphics, and a newer 4 nm process. The Intel part counters with a higher base clock, larger L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and a desktop socket (LGA 1700), but none of these translate into a benchmark win in the recorded data.

For a user selecting a processor strictly on the basis of the measured performance in this database, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 is the stronger choice across every tested metric. The Intel Core i3-14100F, with its launch MSRP of $109, occupies a different platform position as a desktop part with no integrated graphics, and its benchmark profile places it among rivals like the Intel Core i5-13420H and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE. The data says the AMD processor is faster; the platform and form-factor differences are what a buyer would weigh separately.
