AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G vs Intel Core i5-14500T Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits cleanly in favor of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G. Across all 11 recorded head-to-head tests, the AMD part records the higher score. The Intel Core i5-14500T does not win a single measured workload. This is not a narrow margin situation; the AMD processor leads by double digits in most tests, with the smallest advantage appearing in prime number finding at 7.4 percent.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G shows its largest wins in extended instruction workloads and data compression. In PassMark extended instructions, it scores 28,223 versus 16,043 for the Intel chip, a 75.9 percent lead. Data compression shows a 53.5 percent advantage, with scores of 402,831 against 262,417. Random string sorting follows closely at 49.9 percent ahead. These results point to a processor that handles encryption, compression, and instruction-heavy code with substantial efficiency.

The Intel Core i5-14500T does not fall far behind in every category. In floating point math, the gap narrows to 8.2 percent (63,683 versus 58,869). Prime number generation is nearly tied at 87 versus 81, a 7.4 percent difference. Physics simulation also stays relatively close, with the AMD part leading 1,440 to 1,288, an 11.8 percent margin. The Intel chip's 14 cores and 20 threads do not translate into a multithread victory; the AMD part wins PassMark multithread by 32.8 percent, scoring 30,422 against 22,910.

For single-thread performance, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G posts 4,309 points against 3,736 for the Intel Core i5-14500T, a 15.3 percent lead. The AMD processor also holds the overall average benchmark advantage: 63,331 versus 28,065. The percentile ranking reflects this, with the AMD chip sitting at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs while the Intel part lands at the 80th.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is the stronger performer in every measured category. Users comparing these two desktop processors should expect the AMD chip to deliver higher throughput in multithreaded, single-threaded, and specialized instruction workloads. The AMD part wins all 11 head-to-head benchmarks, with an average score of 63,331 compared to 28,065 for the Intel part.

The Intel Core i5-14500T offers a lower thermal design power of 35 watts against the AMD part's 65 watts, which suggests a power-oriented tradeoff. However, the benchmark results do not show any performance category where that lower power budget yields a win. The Intel chip also supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, and it uses a 10 nm process node, but these features do not appear as advantages in the recorded scores.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G uses a 4 nm TSMC process, 8 cores and 16 threads, and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part uses 14 cores and 20 threads but a lower boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Despite fewer cores, the AMD processor wins the multithread test by 32.8 percent. The data suggests that core count alone does not determine the outcome here; the AMD architecture, clock speed, and memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s contribute to the result. The Intel part has no listed memory bandwidth figure in the database.

The launch MSRP for the Intel Core i5-14500T is $232. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G has no launch MSRP recorded. The verdict from the measurements is straightforward: the AMD part wins on performance across the board, while the Intel part remains a lower-power alternative without a benchmark victory.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single gap in the head-to-head table is extended instructions, where the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G scores 28,223 and the Intel Core i5-14500T scores 16,043. That 75.9 percent delta indicates a major advantage in workloads that use advanced CPU instruction sets, such as AES or AVX-style operations. Data compression shows the second largest gap at 53.5 percent, with the AMD part hitting 402,831 versus 262,417. Random string sorting follows at 49.9 percent, with scores of 42,663 and 28,462.

Multithread performance, often a strong suit for higher core count parts, favors the AMD chip by 32.8 percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G posts 30,422 points, while the Intel Core i5-14500T posts 22,910. The Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads, six more cores than the AMD part's 8 cores and 16 threads, yet the AMD processor still leads by a wide margin. Integer math shows a 23.2 percent gap, with 99,732 versus 80,922. Data encryption follows at 22.9 percent, with scores of 18,937 and 15,410.

Single-thread performance favors the AMD part by 15.3 percent. The scores are 4,309 for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G and 3,736 for the Intel Core i5-14500T. This matches the boost clock difference: the AMD chip boosts to 5.10 GHz, while the Intel chip boosts to 4.80 GHz. Physics simulation shows an 11.8 percent lead for AMD, at 1,440 versus 1,288. Floating point math rounds out the smaller gaps with an 8.2 percent lead for AMD, at 63,683 versus 58,869. Prime number finding is the closest test, with only a 7.4 percent difference: 87 versus 81.

The Intel Core i5-14500T also has Cinebench and Geekbench scores recorded in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 11,790 and single-core is 1,838. Geekbench multicore is 11,894 and single-core is 2,229. The AMD part does not have corresponding Cinebench or Geekbench entries in this database, so a direct comparison in those tests is not possible from the recorded data. All 11 head-to-head PassMark tests, however, show the AMD part winning.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is built on the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which uses Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14500T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and Raptor Lake architecture, part of the Core 14th Gen series, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 215 mm².

Cache layouts differ notably. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a larger 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Despite the larger L3 on the Intel chip, the AMD part wins the memory-sensitive workloads like data compression and random string sorting in the recorded benchmarks.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14500T supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 12 CPU lanes. The Intel part provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. This gives the Intel chip a higher PCIe generation and more lanes, though no benchmark in the head-to-head data tests PCIe throughput.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G uses the Radeon 860M, while the Intel Core i5-14500T uses UHD Graphics 770. No graphics benchmarks are included in the head-to-head data, so the performance comparison is limited to CPU workloads.

Clock speeds and power targets separate the two. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz, a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and a 65 watt TDP. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.70 GHz, a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, and a 35 watt TDP. The AMD part is multiplier unlocked, while the Intel part is locked. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700.

Release dates also differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G was released on 2026-02-28, while the Intel Core i5-14500T was released on 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $232, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. Production status is active for both parts.
