AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded head-to-head data covers four Cinebench workloads, and the split is decisive in favor of Intel: three wins for the Core i5-14401E against one for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350. The single AMD victory comes in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where the Ryzen posts 2336.5 points against 1830 for the Intel part, a 27.7% advantage. That result is the largest margin in either direction across the entire comparison.

The Intel processor responds in Cinebench R15 single-core with 258 points versus 247 for the AMD chip, a 4.3% lead. That is a narrow gap, but it widens considerably in the newer Cinebench R23 workloads. In R23 multi-core, the Core i5-14401E scores 18161 against 14278.5 for the Ryzen, which translates to a 21.4% deficit for the AMD part. The largest margin overall appears in R23 single-core: Intel scores 2564, AMD scores 1954, putting the Ryzen 23.8% behind.

These results outline a clear pattern. The AMD processor wins decisively in one older multi-threaded test, while the Intel processor wins the other three tests, including both single-core checks and the more demanding R23 multi-core workload. The average benchmark scores in the database reinforce the separation. The Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 carries an average of 35719 and sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs. The Core i5-14401E averages 5253 and sits at the 60th percentile. That large difference in average score reflects the different benchmark sets recorded for each chip, but within the shared Cinebench tests, the Intel part holds a 3-to-1 win count.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 uses the Zen 5 architecture on the Krackan Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses Raptor Lake on the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node gap is substantial: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which explains differences in transistor density and power behavior.

Core counts differ as well. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 6 cores and 12 threads. Despite having fewer cores, the Intel part delivers higher multi-core scores in R23, suggesting its individual cores are more efficient in that workload. Cache layouts also diverge. Both share an L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 pool on Intel likely contributes to its single-core strength.

Clock speeds tell a similar story. The AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The higher base clock on Intel helps in sustained workloads, while the higher boost clock on AMD is offset by its lower R23 scores.

Power envelopes differ sharply. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 65 watts. That 37-watt gap means the AMD chip is designed for constrained thermal environments, likely a mobile platform, while the Intel chip targets desktop systems with more cooling headroom. Sockets confirm this: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD chip is classified in the mobile segment, the Intel chip in the desktop segment.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generations differ: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD chip carries a Radeon 860M, while the Intel chip carries UHD Graphics 730. Die sizes are close, with AMD at 195 mm² and Intel at 215 mm².

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits cleanly by workload type. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 takes its only head-to-head win in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where it leads by 27.7%. That result suggests the AMD chip handles older multi-threaded rendering workloads with relative strength, likely leveraging its 8-core, 16-thread configuration. The 28-watt TDP also implies efficiency in that context, though the database does not record power draw during the test.

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every other shared test. Its single-core margins are consistent: 4.3% in R15 and 23.8% in R23. The multi-core R23 margin of 21.4% is also notable, given that the Intel chip has two fewer cores and four fewer threads. The Intel part clearly favors newer Cinebench versions, where its higher base clock and larger L3 cache appear to pay off.

Beyond the head-to-head list, the broader benchmark records show different strengths. The AMD chip has an extensive PassMark suite: data compression at 281834, data encryption at 14462, extended instructions at 19955, prime numbers at 81, floating point math at 51639, integer math at 84868, multithread at 23994, physics at 1318, random string sorting at 31071, and single-thread at 3872. The Intel chip has no PassMark entries, only Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results. In R20, the Intel chip scores 7627 multi-core and 1076 single-core, tests the AMD chip does not share.

For users focused on Cinebench rendering, the Intel part is the stronger choice across three of four tests. For users interested in the broader PassMark workload coverage, the AMD chip provides far more recorded data points, all of which sit within its 85th percentile ranking.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on platform and workload. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 belongs in a mobile context: 28-watt TDP, Socket FP8, LPDDR5X support, and a 4 nm process. It wins one Cinebench test (R15 multi-core) and offers a wide PassMark benchmark suite. Its 85th percentile ranking versus all CPUs places it well above the Intel chip's 60th percentile, but that ranking draws on different benchmark sets, so it should not be read as a direct performance comparison.

The Intel Core i5-14401E belongs in a desktop context: 65-watt TDP, Socket 1700, DDR4 and DDR5 support, and a 10 nm process. It wins three of the four shared Cinebench tests, including both single-core checks and R23 multi-core. Its R23 single-core lead of 23.8% is the largest margin in the head-to-head data. The Intel chip also supports PCIe Gen 5, which the AMD chip does not.

Choosing between them depends on the target system. For a low-power mobile design with a wide range of recorded workloads, the AMD chip is the appropriate pick. For a desktop build where Cinebench rendering performance and single-core speed take priority, the Intel chip is the better option. The TDP difference alone (28 versus 65 watts) makes the AMD chip unsuitable for high-performance desktop scenarios, while the Intel chip's 65-watt envelope and larger L3 cache make it the stronger renderer in the shared tests. Neither chip is unlocked, so overclocking is not a factor.
