AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Core i5-14500T Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 and Intel Core i5-14500T represent two distinct approaches to mainstream processing, one a mobile-first Strix Point chip and the other a desktop Raptor Lake Refresh part. The recorded data shows a consistent and often substantial performance advantage for the AMD processor across every benchmark in the comparison, though the two chips have very different physical and platform characteristics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data is unambiguous in its outcome. Across the 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins all 17, with the Intel Core i5-14500T recording zero victories. The margins, however, vary considerably by workload type.

The largest gap appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core testing, where the AMD chip scores 18698 against 11790 for the Intel part. That translates to a 58.6% advantage, a dominant result that indicates the Ryzen AI 9 365 is able to sustain significantly higher throughput under sustained all-core loads. The Cinebench R15 multi-core test tells a similar story, with AMD leading 2842 to 2022, a 40.6% margin. This suggests the AMD processor’s efficiency-oriented design does not come at the cost of raw multi-threaded capability.

Single-threaded performance is much closer. In the Cinebench R15 single-core test, the AMD part wins with 303 points versus 252, a 20.2% lead. In the more modern Cinebench R23 single-core test, the gap narrows to 8.4%, with AMD scoring 1992 to Intel’s 1838. Geekbench single-core results show an even tighter race: 2253 for AMD versus 2229 for Intel, a margin of just 1.1%. PassMark single-thread testing likewise shows a narrow 2.8% lead for AMD, with scores of 3841 and 3736. These results indicate that while the AMD chip has the edge in lightly threaded work, the Intel part remains competitive in that domain.

The PassMark suite reveals where the AMD architecture pulls ahead most decisively. In PassMark extended instructions, AMD scores 25113 against 16043, a 56.5% advantage. PassMark find prime numbers shows AMD at 117 versus 81, a 44.4% lead. PassMark random string sorting goes to AMD by 38.6%, with scores of 39447 and 28462. These are computationally intensive workloads that often respond well to a combination of high clock speeds and efficient instruction handling, and the data shows the Zen 5 implementation is substantially stronger here.

Memory and encryption tests also favor AMD. PassMark data compression shows AMD at 354510 versus 262417, a 35.1% lead. PassMark data encryption goes to AMD 18297 to 15410, an 18.7% margin. PassMark integer math shows AMD at 101831 against 80922, a 25.8% advantage, while floating point math is closer at 62802 versus 58869, a 6.7% lead. PassMark physics results show AMD at 1704 versus 1288, a 32.3% margin, and PassMark multithread scores of 29467 versus 22910 give AMD a 28.6% lead.

The overall average benchmark score places the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 at 40048, with a percentile rank of 87 against all CPUs. The Intel Core i5-14500T has an average benchmark score of 28065 and a percentile rank of 80. The AMD processor’s nearest rival in the database is the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, which scores 40081, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the two are effectively tied. Other close rivals include the Intel Core 5 221E at 40144 (-0.2%) and the AMD Ryzen 9 270 at 40246 (-0.5%). The Intel Core i5-14500T, by contrast, sits near the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE, which scores 28054 with a delta of 0%, and the Intel Core i9-12900H at 28003 with a delta of 0.2%. These nearest-rival comparisons show that the two chips occupy very different performance tiers in the database, with the AMD part competing against much stronger processors.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is the faster processor in every measured workload, with the largest margins in multi-threaded and instruction-heavy tasks. Its 58.6% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 56.5% lead in PassMark extended instructions show a substantial capability gap. The Intel Core i5-14500T remains competitive only in single-threaded tests, where its 1.1% deficit in Geekbench single-core shows it can nearly match the AMD part.

The Intel chip does have its own attributes, including ECC memory support and a desktop socket, but the benchmark data does not show any performance area where it takes the lead. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 also has a higher average benchmark score of 40048 versus 28065, and a higher percentile ranking of 87 versus 80. For workloads that stress multi-core throughput or extended instruction sets, the AMD processor is the stronger choice according to the recorded data. For users who need single-threaded performance, the difference is small enough that either chip could serve, but the AMD part still comes out ahead.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ significantly in their core configurations. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14500T has 14 cores and 20 threads. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz.

The sockets are incompatible. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip is listed with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. ECC memory support differs as well, with the AMD chip not supporting it and the Intel chip supporting it. PCIe capabilities also differ: the AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel Core i5-14500T uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD chip has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel chip has a die size of 215 mm². The Intel processor has a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD processor has no recorded launch MSRP. The AMD part was released on 2024-06-30, while the Intel part was released on 2024-01-07. Both processors are currently active in production and both have locked multipliers.

Architecture Differences

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 uses a combination of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14500T uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series, and is manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel. The Intel part belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

Cache configurations differ between the two. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core but has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 cache on the Intel part may help in certain workloads, but the benchmark data shows the AMD chip still wins in all recorded tests.

The AMD part is a mobile processor, while the Intel part is a desktop processor. The AMD chip uses a hybrid core arrangement within its Zen 5 generation, combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, while the Intel chip is based on Raptor Lake Refresh. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning they are not intended for overclocking. The AMD chip uses a dual-channel memory bus, as does the Intel chip, but the AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, a figure not available for the Intel part.
