Architecture Differences

The two chips come from fundamentally different design philosophies. AMD's Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 uses the Zen 5 architecture, with a hybrid arrangement of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores under the Krackan Point codename. The processor is built on TSMC's 4 nm node and measures 195 mm². Intel's Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm².

Cache layouts differ substantially. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core on AMD, but Intel doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is where the gap widens: AMD has 8 MB total, while Intel has 33 MB shared. That larger L3 pool likely contributes to Intel's strong Cinebench R23 performance despite its older process node.

Memory support also diverges. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both are dual-channel. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel does not have a recorded memory bandwidth figure in the database. PCIe generation differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics separate the two further. AMD uses the Radeon 860M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Both processors are locked, meaning the multiplier is not unlocked. AMD's market segment is mobile, Intel's is desktop. AMD's socket is FP8, Intel's is Socket 1700. AMD released on 2025-01-05, Intel on 2024-06-30.

The Verdict

The data points to two different usage profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 is the stronger all-around performer in most measured workloads, with a 46.8% lead in PassMark single-thread and wins in 11 of 15 tests. Its 85th percentile ranking and 35719 average score place it clearly above Intel's 78th percentile and 26013 average. The 28 W TDP and mobile socket indicate a design aimed at efficient, portable systems.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins where sustained multi-core and physics workloads matter. Its Cinebench R23 results are significantly better, 17035 versus 14278.5, and it leads in physics by 29.1%. The 45 W TDP and desktop socket suggest a part intended for always-plugged-in systems where power draw is less critical.

For general productivity, data compression, encryption, and single-thread responsiveness, the AMD chip delivers better results. For rendering workloads that scale with the newer Cinebench version, and for physics simulation, Intel holds the advantage. The choice depends entirely on the workload mix.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 wins in these categories:

• PassMark single-thread: 46.8% ahead (3872 vs 2637)
• PassMark extended instructions: 39% ahead (19955 vs 14354)
• Cinebench R15 multicore: 36.2% ahead (2336.5 vs 1716)
• PassMark random string sorting: 36.5% ahead (31071 vs 22760)
• PassMark integer math: 29% ahead (84868 vs 65792)
• PassMark data compression: 27.8% ahead (281834 vs 220520)
• PassMark data encryption: 23.6% ahead (14462 vs 11699)
• PassMark multithread: 19.7% ahead (23994 vs 20042)
• PassMark floating-point math: 2.8% ahead (51639 vs 50219)
• Cinebench R15 single-core: 2.1% ahead (247 vs 242)

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in these categories:

• PassMark find prime numbers: 43.4% ahead (143 vs 81)
• PassMark physics: 29.1% ahead (1860 vs 1318)
• Cinebench R23 single-core: 18.8% ahead (2405 vs 1954)
• Cinebench R23 multicore: 16.2% ahead (17035 vs 14278.5)

The split is clean. AMD excels in general integer work, encryption, compression, and single-thread responsiveness. Intel dominates in prime-number finding, physics, and the R23 rendering tests. A system builder prioritizing spreadsheet, database, and compression tasks should favor AMD. One running physics simulations or rendering with Cinebench R23 should favor Intel.
