AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep for the Intel Core i7-14701E across all 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 failing to secure a single win. This is not a close contest; the margins range from modest single-digit advantages to dramatic triple-digit gaps. The most striking result appears in the PassMark find prime numbers test, where the Intel part scores 176 against the AMD's 76, a 131.6% advantage. This benchmark is heavily dependent on integer throughput and cache behavior, and the Intel processor's larger shared L3 cache likely plays a decisive role here.

The Cinebench suite reveals the largest overall performance deltas. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core i7-14701E scores 22195 versus the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360's 13794, a 60.9% lead. The single-core result in the same test is almost equally lopsided: 3133 versus 1958, a 60% advantage. These are substantial margins that indicate the Intel architecture has a significant clock speed and IPC advantage in this workload. The Cinebench R15 results follow the same pattern but with smaller gaps: 2237 versus 2023 for multi-core (10.6%) and 315 versus 271 for single-core (16.2%). The R15 test is less demanding on cache and memory, which narrows the gap, but the Intel processor still leads comfortably.

PassMark multi-threaded performance shows an 18% advantage for the Intel chip, scoring 26112 against the AMD's 22125. The physics test is another standout: the Intel Core i7-14701E records 2399 points versus 1257 for the AMD, a 90.9% delta. This workload often stresses both memory bandwidth and core efficiency, and the Intel processor's higher sustained clock rates appear to be the deciding factor. Floating point math also favors Intel heavily, with 61873 versus 46996, a 31.7% lead. The integer math test is closer, 81325 versus 77414 (5.1%), suggesting that the Zen 5 architecture in the AMD chip narrows the gap when the workload does not rely on large caches.

Data compression and encryption tasks show moderate Intel advantages: 282939 versus 256603 (10.3%) for compression and 14862 versus 13264 (12%) for encryption. Extended instructions score nearly identically, 18528 versus 18029 (2.8%), and random string sorting is also close at 29158 versus 28390 (2.7%). Single-thread performance in PassMark gives the Intel part an 11.5% edge, with scores of 4305 versus 3862. Across every measured category, the Intel Core i7-14701E finishes ahead, but the size of the margin varies wildly by workload, from under 3% in string sorting and extended instructions to over 90% in physics and over 130% in prime number finding.

Where Each One Wins

Interpreting the benchmark results purely by wins, the Intel Core i7-14701E wins everywhere. However, the magnitude of each win tells a more nuanced story about workload suitability. The Intel processor dominates in compute-heavy, high-throughput scenarios: Cinebench R23 multi-core (60.9% ahead), physics simulation (90.9% ahead), and prime number finding (131.6% ahead). These workloads reward high clock speeds, deep caches, and strong sustained multi-core throughput, all of which favor the Intel part's 5.40 GHz boost clock and 33 MB shared L3 cache.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360, despite losing every comparison, comes closest in tasks that are less cache-sensitive and more dependent on raw instruction execution efficiency. Random string sorting (2.7% delta) and extended instructions (2.8% delta) are nearly tied, indicating that Zen 5's instruction pipeline is competitive when the working set fits within the smaller 8 MB L3 cache. Integer math also stays within 5.1%, which suggests the AMD architecture handles general-purpose arithmetic efficiently. For users in mobile platforms where power is constrained, the AMD chip's 28 W TDP compared to Intel's 65 W TDP means it delivers roughly comparable performance in these narrow workloads while consuming less power, though the database does not include direct power efficiency metrics.

For single-threaded tasks, the Intel part holds an 11.5% to 60% advantage depending on the test. The Cinebench R23 single-core gap of 60% is especially notable because it reflects both clock speed and architectural efficiency. The AMD chip's 5.00 GHz boost clock is close to Intel's 5.40 GHz, yet the score gap is large, implying that the Intel core extracts more work per cycle in this specific render workload. In contrast, the PassMark single-thread test shows only an 11.5% gap, indicating that the two architectures are closer in general-purpose single-threaded performance.

The practical takeaway is workload-dependent. If the use case involves heavy multi-core rendering, physics simulation, cryptography, data encryption, or prime number generation, the Intel Core i7-14701E is measurably faster, often by wide margins. If the workload involves string sorting, extended instruction execution, or integer math, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is nearly on par, with deltas under 5%, and it does so within a lower TDP envelope. The database records no benchmark category where the AMD part wins outright.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i7-14701E is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, using a 10 nm process node from Intel. It belongs to the Core 14th Gen family with the codename Raptor Lake Refresh and is part of the Core i7 generation. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 uses Zen 5 architecture under the codename Strix Point, fabricated on a 4 nm process node by TSMC. This is a mobile-oriented design from the Ryzen AI PRO 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The process node difference is significant: 10 nm versus 4 nm, with the smaller node typically enabling better power efficiency and higher transistor density, though the recorded die sizes are similar at 257 mm² for Intel and 233 mm² for AMD.

Cache layouts differ substantially. Both processors feature 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache is 2 MB per core on the Intel part versus 1 MB per core on the AMD part. The shared L3 cache is the biggest divergence: Intel provides 33 MB shared, while AMD offers only 8 MB. This 25 MB difference in last-level cache is the likely reason for the large deltas in cache-sensitive workloads like prime number finding (131.6%) and physics (90.9%). The AMD chip's smaller L3 is a notable disadvantage in these tests, although Zen 5's design may compensate in other areas not fully captured here.

Memory support also differs. The Intel Core i7-14701E supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, also dual-channel. The AMD part lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; no comparable bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel chip. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel processor includes integrated graphics in the form of UHD Graphics 770, whereas the AMD chip integrates Radeon 880M graphics. The market segments differ as well: the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8.

The production status for both is active. The Intel processor was released in June 2024, and the AMD processor was released in January 2025. Neither chip has a recorded launch MSRP, and both have locked multipliers, meaning they are not intended for overclocking via multiplier adjustment. The part numbers are Q49FSRNJK for Intel and 100-000001571 for AMD.

Specification Differences

Base clock speeds are 2.60 GHz for the Intel part versus 2.00 GHz for the AMD part. Boost clocks are 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz. TDP ratings differ substantially: 65 W for Intel versus 28 W for AMD, reflecting the desktop versus mobile positioning. The process node is 10 nm for Intel and 4 nm for AMD, with Intel as the foundry for the former and TSMC for the latter. Die size is 257 mm² for Intel and 233 mm² for AMD. L2 cache is 2 MB per core on Intel versus 1 MB per core on AMD. L3 cache is 33 MB shared on Intel versus 8 MB on AMD. Memory support differs: DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel, DDR5 and LPDDR5X for AMD. PCIe generation differs: Gen 5 for Intel, Gen 4 for AMD. Integrated graphics differ: UHD Graphics 770 for Intel, Radeon 880M for AMD. Market segment differs: Desktop for Intel, Mobile for AMD. Socket differs: Intel Socket 1700 versus AMD Socket FP8. Release dates differ: June 2024 for Intel, January 2025 for AMD. The AMD part lists 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth; the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory, both have locked multipliers, and both are marked as active in production.
