Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head benchmark data shows a dominant result: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 wins 13 of the 15 recorded comparisons. The Intel Core i3-14100 wins only 2 comparisons, both in the PassMark single-thread test, and by a minimal margin.

The AMD processor's largest advantages appear in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD chip scores 2672.5 versus 1292 for Intel, a 106.8% difference. PassMark integer math shows a 118.7% delta, with the AMD at 99156 versus 45329. PassMark find prime numbers shows a 125.5% delta (124 versus 55). These results indicate the Ryzen AI 9 465 is the clear choice for sustained parallel workloads, content rendering, and number-crunching tasks.

The Intel Core i3-14100 takes a narrow lead in PassMark single-thread performance, scoring 3759 versus 3750 for the AMD, a 0.2% delta. This is effectively a statistical tie, but it does mean the Intel chip has a slight edge in lightly threaded, latency-sensitive tasks. Beyond that single test, the Intel processor does not win any other benchmark in the recorded set.

For workloads that depend on memory bandwidth, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 lists 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, while the Intel Core i3-14100 does not have a recorded bandwidth figure in the database. The AMD part also supports LPDDR5X memory, which is typically associated with higher bandwidth mobile implementations.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, part of the Ryzen AI 400 generation that combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i3-14100 uses Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core i3 Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 163 mm².

Cache layouts differ significantly. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD's larger L3 pool and higher core count give it a structural advantage in workloads that benefit from larger shared caches.

The memory controllers differ. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i3-14100 supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. The Intel chip supports ECC memory, while the AMD chip does not.

PCIe support differs by generation. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Intel platform a newer PCIe generation for expansion devices, though the AMD part's mobile socket context means it is typically paired with integrated solutions.

The sockets are incompatible. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile socket. The Intel Core i3-14100 uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. The market segments also differ: the AMD part is classified as mobile, while the Intel part is desktop.

Specification Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 has 10 cores and 20 threads. The Intel Core i3-14100 has 4 cores and 8 threads. This is the largest specification gap between the two.

Base clocks differ: the AMD runs at 2.00 GHz, the Intel at 3.50 GHz. Boost clocks also differ: the AMD reaches 5.00 GHz, the Intel reaches 4.70 GHz.

Thermal design power differs substantially. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 has a TDP of 28 watts. The Intel Core i3-14100 has a TDP of 60 watts. The AMD chip delivers higher multi-core performance while drawing less rated power.
