Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Strix Point, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC. The die size is 233 mm². The Intel Core i3-14100T uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen family. It is manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 163 mm².

Cache organization differs noticeably. Both chips have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has a slightly larger L2 at 1.25 MB per core but a smaller 12 MB shared L3 cache. This gives the AMD part a total of 10 MB of L2 across all cores versus 5 MB for the Intel, and a 4 MB advantage in L3.

The memory controllers also differ. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X in a dual-channel configuration with a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database lists no bandwidth figure for it. Intel's platform includes PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes, while AMD's platform tops out at PCIe Gen 4 with the same 16 lanes. ECC memory is supported on the Intel chip but not on the AMD chip.

The AMD processor is a mobile part on Socket FP8 with a 28 W TDP. The Intel processor is a desktop part on Socket 1700 with a 35 W TDP. Both have locked multipliers and are currently in active production. The AMD chip was released in late June 2024; the Intel chip in early January 2024. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $134; no launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD chip.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data is unambiguous: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins all 15 recorded benchmark comparisons, with zero wins for the Intel Core i3-14100T. The magnitude of the victory varies substantially by workload.

The largest single gap appears in PassMark random string sorting, where AMD scores 39447 against Intel's 15579, a 153.2% difference. This is closely followed by PassMark integer math at 152.7% (101831 versus 40292). These two tests point to a massive advantage in data manipulation and integer-heavy processing, likely driven by the core count difference.

Cinebench R15 multicore shows a 142.9% lead (2842 versus 1170), while PassMark extended instructions shows a 141.1% lead (25113 versus 10414). Data compression and encryption are both over 132% ahead (354510 versus 152636 for compression, 18297 versus 7881 for encryption). Floating point math is exactly 100.1% ahead (62802 versus 31379), and find prime numbers is 108.9% ahead (117 versus 56).

The multithread aggregate tests confirm the pattern. PassMark multithread shows a 115.7% lead (29467 versus 13662), and Cinebench R23 multicore shows a 61% lead (18698 versus 11612). PassMark physics shows a 75.1% lead (1704 versus 973). These results reflect the 10-core/20-thread configuration versus the 4-core/8-thread configuration.

Single-thread performance is the closest contest. Cinebench R23 single-core shows a 21.5% lead for AMD (1992 versus 1639), and Cinebench R15 single-core shows an 83.6% lead (303 versus 165), though the R15 absolute numbers are small. The PassMark single-thread test shows the narrowest margin at 9.8% (3841 versus 3498). Even here, the AMD chip holds a consistent advantage in every recorded metric.

The overall benchmark averages reflect this dominance. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has an average benchmark score of 40048, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core i3-14100T averages 17648, placing it in the 71st percentile. The AMD chip's nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (delta -0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (delta -0.5%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (delta -0.7%). The Intel chip's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i3-13100F (delta 0%), Intel Core i7-1255U (delta 0%), AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (delta 0.2%), and AMD EPYC 9374F (delta -0.3%).

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 outperforms the Intel Core i3-14100T in every benchmark category recorded in the database. The overall average score differential is substantial: 40048 versus 17648, which is more than double. The percentile rankings confirm the separation, with AMD at 87th percentile versus Intel at 71st.

The Intel Core i3-14100T does hold advantages in platform features. It supports PCIe Gen 5, which the AMD chip lacks. It supports ECC memory, which the AMD chip does not. It also supports DDR4 memory, which can matter for users with existing memory modules. Its 163 mm² die size is smaller, and its launch MSRP is listed at $134.

The AMD chip counters with a lower TDP of 28 W versus 35 W, a higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz versus 4.40 GHz, and a much larger core count. It also has a higher memory bandwidth specification at 89.6 GB/s. The AMD processor is a mobile part, while the Intel is a desktop part, so the platform context matters for any actual build decision.

For users who prioritize raw compute throughput, multithreaded rendering, or heavy data processing, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the only choice based on the recorded scores. For users who need PCIe Gen 5, ECC memory, or DDR4 compatibility, the Intel Core i3-14100T offers those specific capabilities, but with significantly lower performance in every benchmark test.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins in every benchmark category recorded, so the "where each one wins" split is defined by the margin of victory rather than by any Intel win.

The largest AMD victories, over 140%, occur in PassMark random string sorting (153.2%), PassMark integer math (152.7%), Cinebench R15 multicore (142.9%), and PassMark extended instructions (141.1%). These are workloads that scale heavily with core count and thread count. The 10-core/20-thread AMD part simply overwhelms the 4-core/8-thread Intel part in these parallel tasks.

The mid-range AMD victories, between 100% and 140%, include data compression (132.3%), data encryption (132.2%), PassMark multithread (115.7%), find prime numbers (108.9%), and floating point math (100.1%). These also benefit from the core advantage but show that even the per-core efficiency of the Zen 5 architecture sustains a large lead.

The smallest AMD victories, under 100%, are in Cinebench R23 multicore (61%), PassMark physics (75.1%), Cinebench R15 single-core (83.6%), Cinebench R23 single-core (21.5%), and PassMark single-thread (9.8%). The single-thread tests show that the Intel chip is competitive on a per-core basis, but it still loses every time. The AMD chip's higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz versus 4.40 GHz contributes to this edge.

The Intel Core i3-14100T does not win any benchmark, but it offers platform-specific advantages that are not captured in the compute scores. It is a desktop part on Socket 1700, which means it fits into a mature desktop ecosystem. It supports PCIe Gen 5 for newer storage and expansion cards. It supports ECC memory for error-correcting workloads. It supports DDR4, which can lower the cost of a build if the user already has DDR4 modules. Its smaller die size of 163 mm² and its listed launch MSRP of $134 are also differentiators, though the database does not include any price-performance analysis.

For workloads that require maximum multithreaded throughput, such as video rendering, code compilation, or scientific computing, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the clear pick. For workloads that require ECC memory or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel Core i3-14100T provides those features, but users must accept a substantial performance penalty in every benchmark recorded.
