AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data records a clean sweep for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, which wins all 17 head-to-head comparisons against the Intel Core i3-14100F. The margins, however, vary dramatically depending on the workload type, revealing a processor that dominates in multi-threaded and data-heavy tasks while only edging ahead in single-threaded tests.

The largest victory comes in PassMark integer math, where the AMD chip scores 101831 against Intel's 45357, a 124.5% advantage. Random string sorting shows a nearly identical gap at 124.2%, with scores of 39447 and 17596 respectively. These results indicate a substantial advantage in integer-heavy and sorting workloads. Cinebench R15 multicore also shows a massive 115.6% delta, with the AMD part scoring 2842 versus 1318, more than doubling the Intel processor's output.

PassMark extended instructions delivers a 109.6% lead, and data encryption shows a 105.1% margin, with scores of 18297 and 8922. Data compression follows at 101.3%, with the AMD processor posting 354510 against 176106. These figures point to a decisive advantage in encryption, compression, and SIMD-style workloads.

The gap narrows considerably in rendering tests. Cinebench R23 multicore shows a 42.9% lead, with the AMD chip at 18698 versus 13084. Geekbench multicore shows an 81.1% advantage, with scores of 13760 and 7598. PassMark multithread delivers a 91.1% margin, and floating-point math shows a 77.6% lead. Prime number finding, which heavily stresses the FPU and memory pipeline, shows a 91.8% delta.

Single-threaded results are far closer. Cinebench R23 singlecore shows just a 7.9% lead, with scores of 1992 and 1847. Geekbench singlecore shows a 7% margin, and Cinebench R15 singlecore shows 62.9%, though the absolute scores are low for both parts. PassMark single-thread shows only a 1.7% difference, with scores of 3841 and 3778, indicating that the two processors are nearly identical in lightly threaded, frequency-bound work. PassMark physics shows a 58.2% lead, with scores of 1704 and 1077.

The overall average benchmark score reinforces the gap. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 sits at 40048, while the Intel Core i3-14100F sits at 18519. The AMD part ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, compared to the 72nd percentile for the Intel part. The nearest rivals for the AMD chip include the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 at 40081, which trails by only 0.1%, and the Intel Core 5 221E at 40144, which trails by 0.2%. The Intel Core i3-14100F, by contrast, sits near the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18511, a 0% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE at 18505, a 0.1% delta.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is a mobile part built on TSMC's 4 nm process, using the Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Point codename. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i3-14100F is a desktop part built on Intel's 10 nm process, using the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD chip offers 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel chip offers 4 cores and 8 threads. This 2.5x core advantage and 2.5x thread advantage explains the large multicore deltas seen in the benchmarks. The AMD chip also has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, though the Intel part has a higher base clock at 3.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz.

Cache hierarchies differ in structure. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD chip provides 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip provides 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3. The AMD chip's larger L3 capacity helps in workloads that benefit from a bigger shared pool.

The memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The Intel chip supports ECC memory, while the AMD chip does not.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics also differ sharply: the AMD chip includes a Radeon 880M iGPU, while the Intel Core i3-14100F has no integrated graphics at all, hence the "F" designation.

Physical and platform details diverge. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD die measures 233 mm², while the Intel die measures 163 mm². The AMD chip carries a 28 W TDP, while the Intel chip carries a 58 W TDP. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is 100-000001530, and the Intel part number is SRMX2. The AMD chip was released on 2024-06-30, while the Intel chip was released on 2024-01-07. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $109.

The Verdict

The benchmark data presents a clear hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 outperforms the Intel Core i3-14100F in every recorded test, with the largest margins in multi-threaded and data-intensive workloads. The 42.9% lead in Cinebench R23 multicore and the 81.1% lead in Geekbench multicore indicate that the AMD chip's additional cores and threads translate directly into rendering and general productivity performance. The 124.5% lead in integer math and the 124.2% lead in random string sorting confirm that the AMD part is substantially stronger in compute-heavy tasks.

The Intel Core i3-14100F remains competitive only in single-threaded workloads, where the 1.7% delta in PassMark single-thread shows that the two processors are effectively matched. The Intel chip's higher base clock of 3.50 GHz does not overcome the AMD chip's higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz in the recorded tests, but the single-thread results show that the gap is small enough to be workload-dependent.

The data suggests that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the stronger processor for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and data processing. The Intel Core i3-14100F, with its 4 cores and 8 threads, is positioned for lightly threaded desktop workloads where its lower core count is less of a limitation. The AMD chip's integrated Radeon 880M graphics also provide a functional GPU, whereas the Intel chip requires a discrete graphics card.

The percentile rankings summarize the overall standing. The AMD chip sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel chip sits at the 72nd percentile. The average benchmark scores of 40048 and 18519 show that the AMD chip delivers more than double the aggregate performance of the Intel chip across the recorded test suite.
