AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear distinction between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14450HX holds an 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part delivers a substantially higher average benchmark score of 32,040, whereas the AMD processor has no recorded average score in the database. For users selecting strictly on measured performance, the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the definitive choice, as its benchmark results place it well above the midpoint of all processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE, while newer and built on a smaller process node, lacks recorded performance data in this database, making a direct performance comparison impossible from the available measurements. The Intel chip is the only one with verifiable benchmark scores, and those scores indicate a processor that outperforms roughly 82 percent of all CPUs in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14450HX wins in every measurable benchmark category, as it is the only processor with recorded scores. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no benchmark entries, so there are no measured wins for that part. The Intel processor demonstrates strength across both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 20,108 in multicore and 2,838 in singlecore. PassMark results show a multithread score of 23,680 and a single thread score of 3,643. The data indicates the Intel chip handles integer math particularly well, with a PassMark integer math score of 78,330, and floating point math at 58,037. Data compression reaches 278,538, while encryption scores 15,574. Extended instructions score 17,207, physics reaches 1,475, and random string sorting hits 29,565. The find prime numbers test records a score of 98. These figures cover a broad range of computational tasks, and the Intel processor delivers consistent results across all of them. The AMD processor, lacking any recorded benchmarks, cannot be positioned as a winner in any measured category.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process by TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The Intel Core i5-14450HX uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-HX Refresh, and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm². The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 10 cores and 16 threads. Both processors offer the same thread count, but Intel provides two additional physical cores.

Cache configurations differ notably. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and provides 20 MB of shared L3. This gives Intel a larger total cache footprint, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access the same data. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Intel chip runs at 2.40 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The AMD part reaches a higher peak frequency, but the Intel part starts from a higher base.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities are split: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation and more lanes, which matters for connectivity to high-speed storage and expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE includes a Radeon 860M, while the Intel Core i5-14450HX includes UHD Graphics 710. The AMD processor uses an AMD Socket AM5, whereas the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1964, reflecting their different market segments: the AMD part is listed as Desktop, and the Intel part is listed as Mobile. The release dates also differ, with the Intel chip appearing on 2024-01-07 and the AMD chip on 2026-02-28. Both processors have unlocked multipliers and remain in active production.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct comparison is limited because the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no recorded benchmark scores. The Intel Core i5-14450HX, however, has a full set of measurements. In Cinebench R15, the Intel processor scores 2,026 in multicore and 285 in singlecore. Moving to Cinebench R20, the scores rise to 8,445 in multicore and 1,191 in singlecore. The most recent Cinebench R23 results show 20,108 in multicore and 2,838 in singlecore. These scores indicate a processor that scales well with increasing thread counts, as the multicore scores grow consistently across R15, R20, and R23.

PassMark results for the Intel chip cover a wider range of tasks. The multithread score is 23,680, and the single thread score is 3,643. Integer math reaches 78,330, while floating point math hits 58,037. Data compression scores 278,538, and data encryption scores 15,574. Extended instructions record 17,207, physics scores 1,475, and random string sorting scores 29,565. Find prime numbers is the lowest result at 98, which is typical for a workload that does not benefit from high core counts or wide instruction sets. The average benchmark score for the Intel processor is 32,040, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs.

The nearest rivals to the Intel Core i5-14450HX provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i7-13705H has an average score of 32,076, which is 0.1 percent higher. The Intel Core i5-14400 scores 32,115, 0.2 percent higher. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32,121, 0.3 percent higher. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32,226, 0.6 percent higher. These deltas are small, meaning the Core i5-14450HX performs within one percent of these four rivals. The data shows a tightly clustered group of processors around the 32,000 score mark, and the Core i5-14450HX sits just below all four of its nearest competitors. The greatest gap is 0.6 percent against the Core i9-11900, a difference that falls within normal run-to-run variation for most workloads.

Since the AMD processor has no benchmarks, there are no head-to-head wins to report. The Intel chip's scores stand alone in the database, and the AMD chip's performance remains unmeasured. For anyone relying on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the only option with verified results, and those results place it among the upper half of all processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE may offer architectural advantages such as a smaller process node and higher boost clock, but without benchmark data, no quantitative comparison is possible. The database records what it records, and in this case, only one processor has a measurable performance profile.
