Architecture Differences

AMD uses the Zen 5 architecture and the Gorgon Point codename, with the generation described as Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). Intel uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename and the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. The manufacturing process separates the two clearly: AMD is built on a 4 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 10 nm Intel process. AMD's die size is 195 mm², Intel's is 215 mm².

The cache design differs in the L2 and L3 stages: AMD provides 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3, while Intel provides 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 24 MB of shared L3. Both list 80 KB of L1 per core. Memory support also diverges: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. AMD's memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, while Intel's bandwidth is not recorded in the database.

On the platform side, AMD uses AMD Socket FP8 and PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel uses Intel Socket 1700 and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses a Radeon 860M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. The market segments are mobile for AMD and desktop for Intel.

Where Each One Wins

Benchmark results indicate a broad AMD advantage. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 wins 13 of the head-to-head tests, while the Intel Core i5-14500T wins 2. AMD's wins cover multi-core Cinebench, single-core Cinebench R23, PassMark data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, and PassMark single-thread. Intel's wins are Cinebench R15 single-core and PassMark floating point math.

The average scores reinforce the split: AMD averages 39485, Intel averages 28065. AMD's percentile of 87 places it above Intel's 80. In the nearest-rival comparison, AMD sits within 0.7 percentage points of four CPUs with average scores between 39215 and 39768, while Intel sits within 0.2 percentage points of four CPUs with average scores between 28003 and 28128.

The data suggests AMD's Zen 5 design delivers its strongest advantages in multi-threaded Cinebench, data compression, physics, and extended instruction workloads. Intel's two wins point to a narrower set of strengths: the Cinebench R15 single-core test and floating point math. The single-core story is mixed, because AMD wins Cinebench R23 single-core by 10.9% and PassMark single-thread by 4.4%, while Intel wins Cinebench R15 single-core by 14.7%.
