AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

The database compares the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 with the Intel Core i5-14401E across Cinebench and aggregate metrics. The AMD is a 10-core, 20-thread mobile processor on Zen 5, while the Intel is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor on Raptor Lake. Head-to-head results show three wins for Intel and one for AMD. The AMD sits at the 88th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 43431; the Intel sits at the 60th percentile with an average score of 5253.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct comparisons cover four Cinebench runs. The AMD's strongest showing is Cinebench R15 multi-core, where it scores 2672.5 against the Intel's 1830. That is a 46% lead, the largest margin in the entire head-to-head set. The Intel counters in Cinebench R15 single-core with 258 versus 247, a 4.3% edge. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel scores 18161 versus 17462.5, a 3.8% lead. The single-core R23 result is the Intel's clearest win: 2564 versus 1996.5, a 22.1% margin. The overall head-to-head tally is 1 win for AMD and 3 wins for Intel.

These results indicate a clear split. The AMD's only win is also its largest, while the Intel wins the other three by a range of 3.8% to 22.1%. The Intel's R15 single-core edge of 4.3% is narrow, while its R23 single-core edge of 22.1% is the widest of its three wins. The R23 multi-core result is notable because the Intel holds the higher score there despite the AMD's larger core and thread count.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ at nearly every architectural level. The AMD uses Zen 5 architecture, codename Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel uses Raptor Lake architecture, codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD's die size is 233 mm²; the Intel's is 215 mm². The AMD has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz on the AMD and 2.50 GHz on the Intel; boost clocks are 5.00 GHz and 4.70 GHz respectively. TDP is 28 W for the AMD and 65 W for the Intel.

Cache layouts also differ. Both list 80 KB of L1 per core. The AMD has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3; the Intel has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3. Memory support: the AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth; the Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded. ECC memory is supported on the Intel, not on the AMD. PCIe: the AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes; the Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics: the AMD has Radeon 880M, the Intel has UHD Graphics 730. The AMD is a mobile part on Socket FP8; the Intel is a desktop part on Socket 1700. Both are active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD's listed release date is 2025-12-31, while the Intel's is 2024-06-30. The Intel is part of the Core 14th Gen series; the AMD's generation is Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c), while the Intel's generation is Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh).

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head wins split by workload. The AMD's only direct win is R15 multi-core, and it is decisive: 2672.5 versus 1830, a 46% margin. The Intel's direct wins are R15 single-core, R23 multi-core, and R23 single-core. The margins are 4.3%, 3.8%, and 22.1% respectively. For single-core Cinebench work, the Intel is consistently ahead in both R15 and R23. For multi-core Cinebench work, the results are split: the AMD leads R15 by 46%, while the Intel leads R23 by 3.8%.

The Intel's recorded benchmark suite also includes Cinebench R20 results: 7627 multi-core and 1076 single-core. The AMD has no R20 entry in the database. The AMD's recorded suite includes a full Passmark set: data compression 349463, data encryption 17601, extended instructions 24773, find prime numbers 124, floating point math 62411, integer math 99156, multithread 28986, physics 1689, random string sorting 37379, and single thread 3750. The AMD's Passmark single-thread entry appears twice in the recorded list with a score of 3750. The Intel has no Passmark entries in the database. These AMD-only results show the AMD's highest recorded Passmark scores are data compression at 349463 and integer math at 99156, with a multithread score of 28986.

The aggregate data also separates the two. The AMD's average benchmark score of 43431 is coupled with an 88th percentile ranking, while the Intel's average of 5253 sits at the 60th percentile. Because the Intel's recorded list is limited to Cinebench tests, its average reflects a smaller set of workloads than the AMD's.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates the two processors cleanly. The Intel wins three of four head-to-head comparisons, including both R23 tests and R15 single-core. The AMD wins one comparison, R15 multi-core, by the largest margin in the set. For workloads resembling R23 multi-core or single-core Cinebench, the Intel's scores are higher: 18161 versus 17462.5 in R23 multi-core, and 2564 versus 1996.5 in R23 single-core. For workloads resembling R15 multi-core, the AMD's 2672.5 versus 1830 is a decisive edge.

Aggregate data favors the AMD: 88th percentile versus 60th, with average scores of 43431 and 5253. The AMD's aggregate position is 0.2% above the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385, 0.5% above the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H, and 0.6% below the Ryzen 7 170 and the Ryzen 7 PRO 7745. The Intel's aggregate position is 0.1% below the Xeon E5-2699A v4, 0.2% above the Core i7-11700B and the Core i9-10850K, and 0.8% above the Core i5-13400T.

The Intel also supports ECC memory and uses a desktop socket; the AMD has more cores and threads, a lower TDP of 28 W versus 65 W, and a mobile socket. The data thus points to the Intel for Cinebench R23-style and single-core workloads, and to the AMD for R15 multi-core and aggregate percentile positioning.
