The Verdict

The benchmark data for these two processors is asymmetric. The Intel Core i5-14490F has a full set of recorded benchmark results, while the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE has no benchmark scores in the database. As a result, the quantitative analysis below draws exclusively from the Intel processor's measurements.

The Intel Core i5-14490F delivers a multi-core score of 23000 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core score of 3247 in the same test. Its average benchmark score of 38149 places it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs. The nearest rival data shows the i5-14490F is effectively level with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, which scores 38194, a difference of just -0.1%. It also edges out the Intel Core i5-13600KF by 0.1% and trails the AMD Ryzen 7 250 by 0.2% and the Intel Core i5-13600HX by 0.3%. This indicates that the i5-14490F sits in a tightly contested performance band where the top four closest competitors are all within 0.3% of its score.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE, the database contains no benchmark measurements. Its percentile rank is listed at 50, and its average benchmark score is zero. Without recorded scores, a direct performance comparison cannot be made from the data. What can be compared are the architectural and specification differences between the two parts.

The AMD processor uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC, has 8 cores, a 5.10 GHz boost clock, a 35 watt TDP, and supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory. The Intel processor uses Intel's 10 nm process, has 10 cores, a 2.50 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost clock, a 65 watt TDP, supports DDR4 and DDR5, and includes 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part also supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD part supports PCIe Gen 4 with 12 lanes.

Given the available data, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the only one of the two with verifiable benchmark results. Its performance tier is well established relative to four close rivals. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE, lacking any recorded scores, cannot be positioned in the same way. The i5-14490F is the processor with the demonstrated performance record in this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE is based on the Gorgon Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation using Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architectures. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². The processor uses a hybrid core arrangement combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, which is a design approach that mixes high-performance and high-efficiency cores within the same package. The AMD part includes Radeon 860M integrated graphics, making it a single-chip solution for systems that do not require a discrete GPU. It supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and has ECC memory support enabled. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 12 lanes.

The Intel Core i5-14490F belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, with the Raptor Lake architecture and the Raptor Lake-R codename. It is part of the Core i5 generation built on Raptor Lake Refresh. The processor is manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 215 mm². It has 10 physical cores and 16 threads, which indicates a configuration of 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores under Intel's hybrid architecture. The L3 cache is 24 MB shared, which is three times the 8 MB L3 cache of the AMD part. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving it flexibility for older and newer platforms. It has no integrated graphics, meaning a discrete GPU is mandatory. PCIe connectivity is Gen 5 with 16 lanes, offering a newer and wider interface than the AMD part's Gen 4 with 12 lanes.

The architecture differences are substantial. The AMD part uses a newer 4 nm process versus Intel's 10 nm process, which likely contributes to its lower 35 watt TDP. The Intel part counters with more cores, more L3 cache, DDR4 compatibility, and a wider PCIe Gen 5 interface. The AMD part brings integrated graphics and ECC memory support, neither of which the Intel part offers.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its wins are measurable across rendering, math, and general computation workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 23000 multi-core and 3247 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2318 multi-core and 327 single-core. PassMark results show strengths in integer math at 87844, floating point math at 66558, and data compression at 340026. The processor also records a single-thread PassMark score of 3873 and a multithread score of 28662. Its average benchmark score of 38149 places it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals all within 0.3% of its score.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450GE has no benchmark scores in the database. Its wins cannot be quantified from measured data. What the specification sheet shows is a lower TDP of 35 watts, which is less than the Intel part's 65 watts. It also includes integrated graphics, which removes the need for a separate GPU in systems that do not require discrete graphics. ECC memory support is present on the AMD part and absent on the Intel part. These are specification-level advantages, not measured performance wins.

For workloads where the Intel part's recorded scores apply, such as multi-threaded rendering, integer and floating point math, and data compression, the Intel Core i5-14490F has verified results. For the AMD part, no workload has a recorded score, so no benchmark-based use case can be assigned. The data supports choosing the Intel part for applications where measured performance matters, and the AMD part for scenarios where lower power draw, integrated graphics, or ECC memory support are the deciding factors.
