The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile ranking against all CPUs sits at 50. Because the database contains no measurement for this processor, the head-to-head comparison is incomplete. The Intel processor, by contrast, holds a percentile ranking of 83 among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. The absence of AMD data makes any direct score comparison impossible, but the architectural specifications suggest the AMD chip is designed for a different segment, mobile systems rather than desktop towers.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 uses the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process node from TSMC. Its codename is Gorgon Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The die size is 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14600T uses the older Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process node from Intel. Its die size is 257 mm². The smaller process node gives AMD a potential efficiency advantage, though measured data does not currently confirm this.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel processor has 14 cores and 20 threads. The Intel chip has more physical cores but fewer threads, which suggests a hybrid core arrangement typical of Raptor Lake designs, with performance cores and efficiency cores. The AMD chip’s thread count surpasses the Intel chip’s thread count, which can benefit heavily threaded workloads if the software scales well. Cache configurations also differ. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 cache per core and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 cache on the Intel part may improve performance in workloads that repeatedly access large data sets.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The AMD processor has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The AMD chip holds a 0.10 GHz advantage in boost frequency and a 0.20 GHz advantage in base frequency. These differences are modest and may be offset by other factors such as power limits and thermal behavior.

Power and platform characteristics are also distinct. The AMD processor has a TDP of 28 watts and uses AMD Socket FP8, which is a mobile platform. The Intel processor has a TDP of 35 watts and uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform. Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory over a dual-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, with no recorded bandwidth figure. The Intel processor supports ECC memory, while the AMD processor does not. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with the AMD chip using Radeon 890M and the Intel chip using UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor’s release date is recorded as late 2025, while the Intel processor was released in early 2024. The AMD processor’s launch MSRP is not recorded; the Intel processor’s launch MSRP is $255, stated once here and not repeated.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14600T wins in every category where measured data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22447 demonstrates strong parallel processing capability, which suits video rendering, 3D modeling, and other multi-threaded creative workloads. The single-core score of 3169 in the same test shows responsiveness in everyday applications, including web browsing, office productivity, and light coding tasks. The Geekbench multi-core score of 12840 and single-core score of 2559 provide additional evidence of balanced performance. The PassMark multithread score of 26409 and single-thread score of 3744 reinforce this conclusion. Math-intensive workloads, such as scientific computing and financial modeling, are well served by the integer math score of 95112 and floating point math score of 64726. Data compression and encryption tasks benefit from scores of 301827 and 18226 respectively. The extended instructions score of 16985 suggests solid support for modern instruction sets used in multimedia and cryptography.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475, lacking recorded benchmarks, does not have any measured wins in the database. Its architecture suggests potential strengths. The 4 nm process node from TSMC implies lower power consumption per unit of work, and the 28 watt TDP is lower than the Intel chip’s 35 watt TDP. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz could deliver strong single-thread performance, and the 24 thread count may help in heavily parallel tasks. The LPDDR5X memory support and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth are notable for a mobile platform. The Radeon 890M integrated graphics may outperform the Intel UHD Graphics 770 in graphics workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD chip’s mobile socket and lower TDP indicate it is designed for laptops and compact systems, where power efficiency and thermal management are priorities. The Intel chip’s desktop socket and higher TDP indicate it is intended for full-size desktop systems with more substantial cooling.
