AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 vs Intel Core i5-14500T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 wins all 17 head-to-head comparisons against the Intel Core i5-14500T, with no benchmark favoring the Intel part. The scale of the advantage varies sharply by workload type, ranging from a modest 6.3% lead in single-threaded PassMark to an overwhelming 97.3% lead in extended instruction throughput.

The largest measured gap appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where AMD scores 21761 against Intel's 11790, a delta of 84.6%. This is the standout multi-core result in the comparison. Cinebench R15 multi-core shows a similar pattern at 3409.5 versus 2022, a 68.6% advantage. The AMD part also leads Geekbench multi-core by 28.1%, scoring 15242 versus 11894. These results indicate that the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 holds a substantial throughput advantage in heavily threaded rendering and general-purpose multi-core workloads.

Single-thread performance is closer but still favors AMD consistently. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 2018 versus 1838, a 9.8% lead. Geekbench single-core is 2407 versus 2229, an 8% lead. PassMark single-thread shows 3973 versus 3736, a 6.3% lead. Cinebench R15 single-core shows the largest single-thread gap in percentage terms at 21.6%, with 306.5 versus 252. The data indicates that AMD's architectural advantage is not limited to multi-core scaling; it also delivers a measurable edge in lightly threaded tasks.

Specialized PassMark subtests reinforce the pattern. Data compression shows 445719 versus 262417, a 69.9% lead. Random string sorting shows 48723 versus 28462, a 71.2% lead. Integer math shows 122933 versus 80922, a 51.9% lead. Floating point math shows 76892 versus 58869, a 30.6% lead. Prime number finding shows 126 versus 81, a 55.6% lead. The largest percentage delta in the entire comparison is extended instructions at 97.3%, where AMD scores 31653 versus 16043. Data encryption shows a 44.4% lead, with 22252 versus 15410.

The multi-thread PassMark score, which aggregates overall parallel performance, shows 35148 versus 22910, a 53.4% lead. PassMark physics shows 1881 versus 1288, a 46% lead. Across every measured category, from memory-sensitive sorting to compute-heavy math and encryption, the AMD part records a higher score. The Intel part does not win a single subtest, despite having more physical cores. This indicates that core count alone does not determine the outcome; the AMD part's per-core efficiency and thread scheduling deliver higher results across the board.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is built on Zen 5 architecture with the Strix Point codename, part of the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14500T uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel.

The core configurations differ in structure. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while Intel provides 14 cores and 20 threads. Intel has two more physical cores but four fewer threads, indicating a hybrid layout with fewer total logical processors. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. AMD operates at a lower thermal design power of 28 watts compared to Intel's 35 watts, while delivering higher clock speeds.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core on AMD and 1.25 MB per core on Intel. The L3 cache is 16 MB on AMD and 24 MB shared on Intel. Despite having less L3 cache, the AMD part scores higher in every benchmark, suggesting that its memory subsystem and core efficiency compensate for the smaller shared cache.

The memory support differs in type and bandwidth. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a dual-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel memory bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. AMD does not support ECC memory, while Intel does. This is a notable feature split: the Intel part is positioned for systems requiring error-correcting memory.

PCIe support also differs. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes for the CPU. Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes for the CPU. The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses the Radeon 890M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part uses a mobile socket (AMD Socket FP8), while the Intel part uses a desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700). The market segments reflect this: AMD is classified as Mobile, Intel as Desktop.

The production status for both is Active. The release dates differ: AMD was released on 2024-06-30, while Intel was released on 2024-01-07. The AMD part has a die size of 233 mm², while Intel has a die size of 215 mm². The AMD part number is 100-000000994, and the Intel part number is SRN3P. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to a clear winner in raw performance. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 leads in every recorded comparison, with deltas ranging from 6.3% to 97.3%. The average benchmark score in the database is 37904 for AMD versus 28065 for Intel, a difference of roughly 35%. AMD also holds a higher percentile ranking across all CPUs at 86 versus Intel's 80.

The Intel Core i5-14500T has advantages in specific configuration areas. It supports ECC memory, which AMD does not. It uses PCIe Gen 5 rather than Gen 4. It has more physical cores at 14 versus 12, and a larger shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 16 MB. It also carries a launch MSRP of $232. However, none of these configuration advantages translate into a benchmark win in the recorded data.

The AMD part is the stronger choice for workloads that stress multi-threaded throughput, encryption, compression, and extended instructions. The data shows that its 24 threads outperform Intel's 20 threads despite Intel having more physical cores. The AMD part also wins every single-thread test, which indicates that its architecture is more efficient per clock. The lower TDP of 28 watts versus 35 watts reinforces this efficiency profile.

The Intel part remains relevant for systems that require ECC memory or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, as those features are absent from the AMD part. It also serves the desktop socket market, while AMD is a mobile part. For pure performance as measured by the database benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 is the clear winner. The Intel Core i5-14500T offers specific platform features but no performance victories in this comparison.
