AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data available for this comparison is asymmetric. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core i7-14700 has a full suite of results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark. Consequently, the Intel processor holds every recorded win by default, and the AMD processor holds no recorded wins. The database shows zero benchmark wins for the AMD part and zero for the Intel part in the head-to-head section, but the Intel part carries 19 individual test scores, while the AMD part carries none.

The Intel Core i7-14700 sits at the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 52,301. Its nearest rivals are close: the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H trails by 0.2%, the AMD EPYC 8124P leads by 0.3%, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX leads by 0.4%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X trails by 0.7%. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, which reflects the absence of recorded measurements rather than a literal performance of zero.

The use-case split is therefore lopsided in the available data. The Intel part demonstrates strength in multithreaded productivity workloads, with high Cinebench R23 multicore and Passmark multithread scores. The AMD part cannot be placed in any workload category based on recorded measurements. The only factual comparison that can be made is that the Intel Core i7-14700 has a recorded performance profile and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE does not.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ substantially in core count and topology. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14700 uses 20 cores and 28 threads. The AMD chip is based on the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC and has a die size of 195 mm². The Intel chip is a Raptor Lake-R design, part of the Core 14th Gen series, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm².

Cache configurations differ in both structure and capacity. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also provides 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and offers 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger shared L3 on the Intel part is a notable advantage for workloads that reuse data across cores.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel Core i7-14700 has a slightly higher base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Thermal design power differs by a wide margin: the AMD part is rated at 35 W, while the Intel part is rated at 65 W.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both parts support ECC memory.

Platform connectivity differs. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5 and provides PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses the Radeon 860M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD processor has a release date of 2026-02-28, while the Intel processor was released on 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD part number is 100-000001924, and the Intel part number is SRN40.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no recorded benchmark scores, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The Intel Core i7-14700 has 19 recorded results, and each one stands as the only data point in its respective test.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel part scores 4,061 in multicore and 299 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 14,388 in multicore and 2,031 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score reaches 28,398, with a single-core score of 2,080. These results place the Intel part in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52,301.

Geekbench results follow a similar pattern. The Intel part records a multicore score of 17,087 and a single-core score of 2,409. Passmark results cover a wider range of specialized tests. The multithread score is 40,318, and the single-thread score is 4,236 (recorded under two test names, passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, both with the same value). Integer math scores 154,535, floating-point math scores 106,716, and extended instructions score 28,388. Data compression scores 498,198, data encryption scores 29,601, and random string sorting scores 54,340. Physics scores 2,226, and finding prime numbers scores 164.

The nearest rival data for the Intel part provides context for these numbers. The Intel Xeon Gold 5320H has an average score of 52,431, which is 0.2% lower than the Core i7-14700. The AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52,121, which is 0.3% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX scores 52,073, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X scores 51,947, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas are all within one percentage point, indicating that the Core i7-14700 sits in a tightly clustered performance band among its nearest competitors.

The absence of AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE scores means no win margin can be calculated in either direction. The database records zero wins for each part in the head-to-head section, which is consistent with the missing AMD data. The only quantitative statement the data supports is that the Intel part has a complete set of scores and the AMD part does not.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one clear choice for users who require benchmark evidence. The Intel Core i7-14700 has a complete set of 19 benchmark scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark, placing it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 52,301. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average score, which places it in a competitive band with server and high-end desktop parts. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking.

The Intel part also offers more cores, more threads, more L3 cache, a higher boost clock, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity with 16 lanes. The AMD part offers a smaller die, a lower TDP of 35 W versus 65 W, an unlocked multiplier, and a newer release date of 2026-02-28 compared to 2024-01-07. The AMD part also supports LPDDR5X memory and records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part records no memory bandwidth figure.

For workloads that depend on multithreaded throughput, the Intel part has direct evidence: Cinebench R23 multicore of 28,398, Passmark multithread of 40,318, and Geekbench multicore of 17,087. For single-threaded work, it records Cinebench R23 single-core of 2,080, Geekbench single-core of 2,409, and Passmark single-thread of 4,236. The AMD part cannot be assessed for any workload category because no measurements exist in the database.

The choice between these two processors, based strictly on recorded data, falls to the Intel Core i7-14700. It is the only one of the two with a measurable performance profile, and that profile is strong enough to rank among the top 9% of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450GE remains an unmeasured entry in the database, with no scores, no rival comparisons, and no benchmark evidence to support a performance claim. Until the database records AMD benchmark results, the Intel Core i7-14700 is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance data.
