AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 vs Intel Core i5-14600T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a decisive overall victory for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, which wins 12 of the 15 head-to-head comparisons against the Intel Core i5-14600T. The most dramatic separation occurs in PassMark extended instructions, where the AMD part posts 34,365 against Intel's 16,985, a 102.3% advantage. This result indicates a substantial difference in SIMD and specialized instruction throughput that favors the Zen 5 architecture.

Data compression workloads also heavily favor AMD. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 scores 484,584 in PassMark data compression versus 301,827 for the Intel chip, a 60.6% lead. Random string sorting follows a similar pattern, with AMD at 51,576 and Intel at 34,310, a 50.3% gap. These workloads benefit from the AMD processor's 24 threads, which provide more parallel work capacity than Intel's 20 threads.

The multi-threaded PassMark benchmark shows AMD ahead by 40.1%, scoring 37,010 compared to 26,409. Integer math tells the same story: 130,171 for AMD versus 95,112 for Intel, a 36.9% difference. Floating point math sees AMD at 81,320 against Intel's 64,726, a 25.6% margin. Data encryption favors AMD as well, with 23,746 versus 18,226, a 30.3% improvement.

Cinebench R23 multicore results are closer but still favor AMD. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 scores 23,491.5 while the Core i5-14600T scores 22,447, a 4.7% difference. The older Cinebench R15 multicore test shows a wider gap: 3,518 for AMD versus 2,262 for Intel, a 55.5% lead. This suggests that the AMD processor scales better in legacy multi-threaded rendering workloads.

The Intel Core i5-14600T claims three wins, and two of them are significant. Cinebench R23 single-core shows Intel at 3,169 versus AMD at 2,066, a 34.8% advantage for Intel. This is the largest single-core margin in the entire comparison. Cinebench R15 single-core is nearly tied, with Intel at 319 and AMD at 317, a 0.6% edge. The third Intel win comes in PassMark physics, where Intel scores 1,873 against AMD's 1,851, a 1.2% margin.

The PassMark single-thread test tells a different story from Cinebench. AMD scores 4,124 while Intel scores 3,744, giving AMD a 10.1% lead. The discrepancy between Cinebench and PassMark single-thread results highlights how different workloads stress the CPU in distinct ways, with Cinebench favoring Intel's higher boost clock and PassMark favoring AMD's architecture.

Find prime numbers is nearly a tie, with AMD at 125 and Intel at 121, a 3.3% difference. This workload shows both processors performing at similar levels despite their architectural differences.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Point codename, belonging to 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 processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Its thermal design power is 28 W, and it uses the AMD Socket FP8, placing it in the mobile market segment.

The Intel Core i5-14600T belongs to the Core 14th Gen series using the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename. It is a Raptor Lake Refresh part built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm². The processor has 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. Its thermal design power is 35 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1700, placing it in the desktop market segment.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core and 1 MB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3. The Intel processor also provides 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles L2 to 2 MB per core, and increases L3 to 24 MB shared. Intel's larger cache hierarchy may help in workloads with high data reuse, but the benchmark results do not show a consistent advantage from this configuration.

Memory support and PCIe capabilities also diverge. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory on a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, though the database does not record a bandwidth figure for it. AMD provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Intel also supports ECC memory, which AMD does not.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor pairs with the Radeon 890M, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 770. The mobile versus desktop positioning of these two parts is a key distinction, with the AMD chip designed for laptops and the Intel chip designed for desktop systems.

The AMD processor carries the part number 100-000001936 and was released at the end of 2025. The Intel processor carries the part number SRN46 and was released in early 2024. Both processors are listed as active production parts with locked multipliers.

The Verdict

The data indicates two processors aimed at different segments with different performance profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 delivers superior multi-threaded throughput across nearly every measured workload. Its wins span compression, encryption, extended instructions, integer math, floating point math, random string sorting, and multithread benchmarks, with margins ranging from 3.3% to 102.3%. For workloads that scale with thread count and SIMD execution, this processor is the stronger choice.

The Intel Core i5-14600T holds a clear advantage in Cinebench R23 single-core, where it leads by 34.8%, and a marginal edge in Cinebench R15 single-core. It also wins the PassMark physics test by 1.2%. These results suggest that Intel's chip is competitive, even superior, in specific single-threaded rendering and physics simulations. The PassMark single-thread test, however, favors AMD by 10.1%, so the single-core picture is workload dependent.

The average benchmark score reflects the overall gap. The AMD processor records an average score of 58,826, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs. The Intel processor records an average score of 32,707, placing it in the 83rd percentile. The AMD chip's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 9645 at 58,916 and the Intel Xeon w5-2545 at 58,504, while the Intel chip's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H at 32,697 and the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F at 32,750.

For users running heavily threaded workloads, data compression, encryption, or instruction-heavy compute tasks, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is the clear choice based on the recorded benchmarks. For users who prioritize Cinebench single-core rendering performance, the Intel Core i5-14600T offers a measurable advantage in that specific test, despite trailing in most other comparisons. The desktop versus mobile distinction also matters: the Intel chip sits in a desktop socket, while the AMD chip targets mobile systems.

The production status for both processors is active, and both have locked multipliers. The Intel Core i5-14600T carries a launch MSRP of $255, while the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 has no recorded MSRP in the database.
