AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 vs Intel Core i5-14600 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14600 dominates the recorded benchmark data. The database contains 19 benchmark results for the i5-14600, while the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes the comparison one-sided in terms of measurable performance data. The i5-14600 holds an average benchmark score of 44,889 and sits at the 89th percentile among all CPUs tracked. The Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero, which reflects the absence of recorded test data rather than a literal performance result.

The Intel part wins across every category where data exists. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 30,464 points. In single-core, it reaches 4,300. Geekbench shows 14,680 multi-core and 2,424 single-core. PassMark tests cover integer math, floating point math, data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, random string sorting, physics, single-thread performance, and multithread performance. All of these favor the i5-14600 by default, since the AMD processor has no entries in the same tests.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 cannot be assigned benchmark wins from the recorded data. Its strengths appear in the specification sheet, not in measured performance. It uses a 4 nm process, runs on the Zen 5 architecture, and carries a 28 W TDP. The Intel part uses a 10 nm process, runs on Raptor Lake, and carries a 65 W TDP. The difference in power class suggests the AMD part targets mobile platforms while the Intel part targets desktop systems. The AMD chip uses Socket FP8, which is a mobile socket. The Intel chip uses Socket 1700, a desktop socket.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the i5-14600 shows strong results in Cinebench R23 multi-core at 30,464 and PassMark multithread at 35,848. For single-thread responsiveness, it posts 4,300 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4,167 in PassMark single thread. The AMD part has no comparable numbers in the database, so any attempt to claim wins for it would lack supporting evidence.

The Verdict

The data indicates the Intel Core i5-14600 is the only part in this comparison with measured performance. Its 89th percentile ranking places it well above the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, which has no benchmark results and sits at the 50th percentile by default. Buyers choosing between these two should recognize that the i5-14600 delivers verified multi-core and single-core performance across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, Geekbench, and PassMark suites.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 should be considered only when the platform matters more than measured CPU performance. It is a mobile processor with a 28 W TDP, a 4 nm process, and Socket FP8. The Intel part is a desktop processor with a 65 W TDP, a 10 nm process, and Socket 1700. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. The Intel part supports ECC memory. The AMD part does not.

The Intel Core i5-14600 also has a launch MSRP of $255. The AMD part has no launch MSRP in the database. The i5-14600 uses 14 cores and 20 threads, while the AMD part uses 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel part has more physical cores, but the AMD part has more threads. Despite the thread advantage on paper, no benchmark data exists to show whether the AMD part converts those threads into performance.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward. The Intel Core i5-14600 is the only part with proven results. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 remains an unmeasured option with a mobile-oriented feature set.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors, the comparison relies on the full benchmark list recorded for the Intel Core i5-14600. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has zero recorded scores, so every delta is effectively undefined. The i5-14600 delivers 30,464 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4,300 points in Cinebench R23 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it posts 12,794 multi-core and 1,806 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it posts 3,070 multi-core and 433 single-core.

Geekbench results show 14,680 multi-core and 2,424 single-core. PassMark results include 117,078 in integer math, 85,759 in floating point math, 434,620 in data compression, 25,082 in data encryption, 25,674 in extended instructions, 155 in find prime numbers, 48,043 in random string sorting, 2,330 in physics, 4,167 in single-thread, and 35,848 in multithread. The single-thread result appears twice in the database under slightly different test names, with identical scores of 4,167.

The nearest rivals to the i5-14600 provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i9-12900KS averages 45,094, which is 0.5% lower than the i5-14600's average of 44,889. The AMD EPYC 4344P averages 45,122, also 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D averages 44,573, which is 0.7% higher than the i5-14600. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H averages 44,466, which is 1% higher. These deltas show the i5-14600 sits in a tight competitive band, within 1% of four other CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no nearest rivals listed and no average benchmark score. Its 50th percentile ranking reflects the absence of data. In any direct comparison, the i5-14600 wins every measured category by default because the AMD part has no entries.
