AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 vs Intel Core i3-14100T Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 and Intel Core i3-14100T occupy opposite corners of the processor market, and the benchmark data reflects a complete mismatch in performance. The AMD part, a 12-core mobile processor built on a 4 nm process, dominates every recorded workload against the Intel desktop chip. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 wins all 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with margins ranging from 10.5% in single-threaded tests to over 200% in integer math. The Intel Core i3-14100T, a 4-core desktop chip on Intel's 10 nm process, trails by substantial margins in both single-core and multi-core workloads. The database places the AMD processor at the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel chip sits at the 71st percentile. Average benchmark scores reinforce this separation: the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 records an average score of 46030, compared to 17648 for the Core i3-14100T.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear hierarchy: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is the superior processor in every measurable category. Buyers selecting between these two parts should base their decision on platform and power requirements, not performance, since the AMD chip wins every benchmark in the comparison. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21812, which is 87.8% higher than the Intel's 11612. In single-core R23, the AMD chip scores 1988 versus 1639 for Intel, a 21.3% advantage. The margins grow larger in specialized workloads, with the AMD part leading by 202.2% in PassMark integer math (121754 versus 40292) and by 186% in random string sorting (44552 versus 15579). The Intel Core i3-14100T does offer ECC memory support, which the AMD processor lacks, and it uses the LGA 1700 desktop socket with PCIe Gen 5. The AMD part targets mobile systems with the FP8 socket and PCIe Gen 4. The Intel chip also carries a launch MSRP of $134. The performance gap is so wide that the Intel part only appears competitive in single-threaded PassMark tests, where it trails by 10.5% (3498 versus 3867). For any workload that scales with core count or benefits from higher memory bandwidth, the Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 is the clear choice. The Intel chip may still serve systems requiring ECC memory or a desktop socket, but the recorded data shows no performance scenario where it wins.
