AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G and Intel Core i7-14701TE are both 8-core, 16-thread desktop processors, but the benchmark data shows they occupy very different performance tiers. The AMD chip records an average benchmark score of 63331, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part scores 26013 and sits in the 78th percentile. Across the shared PassMark tests, the Ryzen AI 7 450G wins 9 of 11 comparisons, often by massive margins.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most dominant AMD victory comes in extended instructions, where the Ryzen AI 7 450G scores 28223 against 14354 for the Core i7-14701TE, a 96.6% advantage. This indicates the AMD architecture handles AVX and similar workloads with far greater efficiency. Data compression shows a similar story: the AMD part scores 402831 versus 220520, a 82.7% lead. Random string sorting is nearly as lopsided, with the AMD chip winning 42663 to 22760, a 87.4% difference. These three tests point to a processor that simply executes more work per clock in memory and compute intensive routines.

Single-thread performance is another clear win for AMD. The Ryzen AI 7 450G records 4309 in the PassMark single-thread test, while the Intel chip manages only 2637, a 63.4% gap. That result matters for everyday responsiveness and lightly threaded applications. The multithread score follows the same pattern: 30422 for AMD versus 20042 for Intel, a 51.8% advantage. Integer math shows the Ryzen part at 99732 against 65792, a 51.6% gain, and floating-point math goes to AMD at 63683 versus 50219, a 26.8% lead. Data encryption also favors AMD, 18937 to 11699, a 61.9% difference.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE does take two wins. In the prime number search test, Intel scores 143 against AMD's 87, meaning the AMD result is 39.2% lower. The physics test also goes to Intel, 1860 to 1440, a 22.6% advantage for the Intel part. These two results suggest the Intel chip retains an edge in specific integer loops or legacy single-threaded physics calculations, but they are isolated wins in a benchmark suite that otherwise heavily favors AMD.

The average benchmark score comparison reinforces the head-to-head results. The Ryzen AI 7 450G averages 63331, which places it just 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX (63173) and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13790F (63080). It trails the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 390 by 0.7% (63765) and beats the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 by 0.8% (62839). The Core i7-14701TE, by contrast, averages 26013, sitting 0.1% above the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (25981) and 0.5% above the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (25880), while falling 0.4% short of the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS (26106) and 0.7% short of the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26187). In other words, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G competes with high-end mobile and desktop parts, whereas the Intel Core i7-14701TE sits in the company of mid-range Ryzen 5 chips.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes the choice straightforward for most users. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G delivers dramatically higher scores in nearly every PassMark workload, including a 96.6% lead in extended instructions, an 82.7% lead in data compression, and a 63.4% lead in single-thread performance. Its average benchmark score of 63331 is more than double the Intel part's 26013. The AMD chip also has an unlocked multiplier, which allows for manual overclocking, and it runs on the AMD Socket AM5 platform.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE is the right pick only for specific scenarios that match its two wins. The prime number and physics tests are the only areas where Intel comes out ahead, with a 39.2% better prime number result and a 22.6% better physics result. That narrow edge could matter for legacy physics simulation code or workloads dominated by simple integer loops. The Intel chip also carries a lower 45 W TDP versus 65 W for the AMD part, which may favor compact cooling designs.

For general computing, content creation, data compression, encryption, and any workload that scales with multithread throughput, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is the stronger part by a wide margin. For users who prioritize the specific integer and physics patterns where the Intel chip wins, and who need the lower power envelope, the Core i7-14701TE remains a defensible option, but the benchmark results show it is not competitive in overall throughput.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ on several core specifications. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE runs at 2.10 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost. Despite the lower clock speeds, the AMD part delivers higher benchmark scores, indicating that architectural efficiency outweighs raw clock frequency in these tests.

The TDP is another differentiator. The AMD chip is rated at 65 W, while the Intel chip is rated at 45 W. The Intel part therefore draws less power on paper, but it also produces far lower performance in most workloads.

Socket support separates the two platforms entirely. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Intel Socket 1700, meaning they are not interchangeable in any motherboard.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory through a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity is another point of difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part therefore offers a newer PCIe generation and more lanes for expansion.

The integrated graphics units also differ. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 860M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. The production status for both is Active, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450G is built on the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC and has a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on a 10 nm process node from Intel and has a larger die size of 257 mm².

Cache configurations differ notably between the two. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core on the AMD side, but the Intel chip has 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache is the bigger difference: the AMD chip has 8 MB total, while the Intel chip has 33 MB shared. That larger L3 cache on the Intel part does not translate into a performance advantage in the recorded tests, which suggests the AMD architecture's other strengths dominate.

The AMD chip carries the Gorgon Point codename and uses a hybrid Zen 5 and Zen 5c core arrangement, while the Intel chip uses the Raptor Lake Refresh design. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel part is locked. The AMD part is fabricated by TSMC at 4 nm, while the Intel part is fabricated by Intel at 10 nm. The die size difference, 195 mm² for AMD versus 257 mm² for Intel, reflects the different process nodes and design philosophies. Both parts are currently active in production, with the AMD chip released in 2026 and the Intel chip released in 2024. The part numbers are 100-000001917 for AMD and Q49GSRNJL for Intel.
