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

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 and the Intel Core i7-14701TE is not a clean generational sweep but a functional division of labor. The recorded data shows the AMD part winning 10 of the 15 head-to-head tests, while the Intel part takes 5. The pattern is consistent: AMD dominates memory-bandwidth-sensitive and integer-heavy workloads, while Intel wins in floating-point, prime-number scanning, and physics simulation.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is the stronger choice for data compression, encryption, extended instruction throughput, integer math, multithreaded general workloads, and single-thread responsiveness. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3862 versus Intel's 2637 is the largest margin in either direction at 46.5 percent, which indicates a decisive advantage in lightly threaded, latency-critical tasks. Data compression at 256603 versus 220520 (16.4 percent ahead) and integer math at 77414 versus 65792 (17.7 percent ahead) reinforce this pattern.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE claims the opposite territory. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035 versus AMD's 13794 is a 19 percent advantage, making it the clear winner for heavily threaded rendering workloads. It also leads in floating-point math (50219 versus 46996, 6.4 percent ahead), physics simulation (1860 versus 1257, 32.4 percent ahead), and prime-number finding (143 versus 76, 46.9 percent ahead). The Cinebench R23 single-core result also favors Intel at 2405 versus 1958, an 18.6 percent gap.

The practical split is straightforward. For workloads that stress raw FPU throughput, physics solvers, or long render passes, the Intel part delivers more compute. For database operations, compression, encryption, mixed integer code, and interactive single-threaded applications, the AMD part is measurably faster. The AMD chip also holds the edge in the aggregate PassMark multithread test at 22125 versus 20042, a 10.4 percent margin, which suggests its integer-heavy multithread efficiency carries broader real-world weight than Intel's narrower FPU wins.

Architecture Differences

The two processors take fundamentally different design paths. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, with the codename Strix Point and the Ryzen AI PRO 300 generation designation. It is built for the mobile segment on AMD Socket FP8. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, from the Core 14th Gen family. It is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700.

Both chips have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the thread count parity does not explain the performance differences. The cache layouts differ substantially. AMD provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of total L3. Intel provides the same 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and offers a much larger 33 MB shared L3. That larger L3 pool is a likely contributor to Intel's Cinebench R23 multicore and single-core wins, since more cache can hold larger working sets during rendering and floating-point loops.

The memory interfaces also diverge. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus, but the database lists no memory bandwidth figure for it. The AMD part's higher bandwidth figure aligns with its wins in data compression and encryption, workloads that move large blocks of data through the memory subsystem.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses the Radeon 880M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. PCIe support also differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. Both parts support ECC memory. The AMD chip has a TDP of 28 watts against Intel's 45 watts, and the process node difference (4 nm versus 10 nm) explains why AMD achieves its results within a lower power envelope. The die sizes are close: AMD at 233 mm² and Intel at 257 mm².

The release dates differ by roughly six months, with Intel launching in mid-2024 and AMD in early 2025. Neither chip has a recorded launch MSRP. Both are production-active, and both have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single win for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 comes in PassMark single-thread, where it scores 3862 against Intel's 2637, a 46.5 percent advantage. The same margin appears in the duplicate singlethread entry. This is not a marginal lead; it is a fundamental per-core performance gap that will show up in any latency-sensitive application.

AMD also wins extended instructions by 25.6 percent (18029 versus 14354), random string sorting by 24.7 percent (28390 versus 22760), and Cinebench R15 multicore by 17.9 percent (2023 versus 1716). The R15 single-core test goes to AMD by 12 percent (271 versus 242). PassMark multithread favors AMD by 10.4 percent (22125 versus 20042). Data compression and encryption go to AMD by 16.4 percent and 13.4 percent respectively, and integer math by 17.7 percent.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE's biggest win is in PassMark find prime numbers, where it scores 143 versus AMD's 76, a 46.9 percent margin. That is the only test where Intel leads by a similar magnitude to AMD's single-thread advantage. Physics simulation goes to Intel by 32.4 percent (1860 versus 1257). Cinebench R23 multicore favors Intel by 19 percent (17035 versus 13794), and Cinebench R23 single-core favors Intel by 18.6 percent (2405 versus 1958). Floating-point math goes to Intel by a narrower 6.4 percent (50219 versus 46996).

The Cinebench R15 results are interesting because they reverse the R23 outcome. In the older test, AMD leads multicore by 17.9 percent, yet in R23, Intel leads by 19 percent. This suggests the two chips scale differently across Cinebench versions, with Intel's advantage growing as the workload becomes more demanding. The R15 single-core also favors AMD, while R23 single-core flips to Intel. The data does not explain the cause, but the pattern is consistent with Intel's larger L3 cache and higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz) becoming more relevant in the newer benchmark.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors with identical core and thread counts but sharply different strengths. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 wins 10 of 15 benchmarks, including the largest margin in the entire comparison: a 46.5 percent single-thread lead. It also wins in data compression, encryption, extended instructions, integer math, random string sorting, and the PassMark multithread aggregate. For interactive work, database operations, compression pipelines, and any integer-heavy code, the AMD part is the measured winner.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins 5 of 15 benchmarks, but its wins include the two Cinebench R23 tests and physics simulation. For sustained rendering in Cinebench R23, floating-point math, prime-number scanning, and physics solvers, Intel holds the advantage. The 19 percent multicore lead in R23 and the 32.4 percent physics lead are substantial for those specific workloads.

The overall average benchmark score favors AMD: 32662 against Intel's 26013. The percentile rankings also favor AMD at 83 versus Intel's 78. The nearest rival data places AMD within 0.5 percent of several comparable chips, while Intel sits within 0.7 percent of its nearest rivals, confirming both parts are competitive in their respective segments.

The choice depends entirely on the workload mix. If the priority is single-thread responsiveness, data movement, and integer throughput, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 is the stronger processor. If the priority is floating-point rendering, physics, and prime-heavy computation, the Intel Core i7-14701TE delivers more. The power envelope also matters: AMD achieves its wins at 28 watts, while Intel requires 45 watts. The recorded data does not show a universal winner, only a clear division of labor.
