AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results for the Intel Core i7-14700, but no recorded scores for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 52301, placing it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD processor sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0, meaning the database holds no verified performance measurements for it.

Without a head-to-head result set, the recorded data can only characterize the Intel side. In Cinebench R23, the Core i7-14700 scores 28398 in multicore and 2080 in singlecore. In Geekbench, it records 17087 multicore and 2409 singlecore. PassMark multithread shows 40318, while single thread shows 4236.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Intel part's standing. The Intel Xeon Gold 5320H scores 52431, which is 0.2% lower than the Core i7-14700. The AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52121, 0.3% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX scores 52073, 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X scores 51947, 0.7% higher. These deltas are small enough that the Core i7-14700 sits essentially in a tie with all four rivals, none of which exceed a 0.7% advantage.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no benchmark entries, no wins, and no losses recorded. Any assertion about its performance relative to the Intel part cannot be grounded in measured data. The only defensible statement is that the Intel Core i7-14700 delivers a strong, verified multicore result, while the AMD processor's performance profile remains unquantified in this database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14700 uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The die sizes differ: AMD measures 233 mm², Intel measures 257 mm².

Core and thread counts diverge sharply. The AMD part has 12 cores and 24 threads. The Intel part has 20 cores and 28 threads. The AMD generation is listed as Ryzen AI 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c), indicating a hybrid core layout within the Zen 5 family. The Intel generation is Core i7 (Raptor Lake Refresh), which uses a mix of performance and efficiency cores, though the database does not break out the core type counts.

Cache hierarchies differ. Both allocate 80 KB of L1 per core. AMD provides 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. Intel provides 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part therefore carries roughly double the L3 capacity in absolute terms, plus larger per-core L2.

The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database lists no memory bandwidth figure. AMD does not support ECC memory; Intel does. This is a meaningful divergence for workloads that require error-corrected memory.

PCIe capability differs. AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, doubling the per-lane bandwidth available for discrete devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses the Radeon 890M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not provide performance scores for either iGPU, so no quantitative comparison is possible.

The market segments and sockets reflect the intended platforms. AMD is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP8. Intel is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD release date is recorded as 2025-12-31, while the Intel release date is 2024-01-07. The AMD part has a part number of 100-000001859; the Intel part is SRN40.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear choice for anyone who needs verified performance: the Intel Core i7-14700. It has a full benchmark suite, an average score of 52301, and a 91st percentile ranking. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 has no benchmark data, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. On the evidence available, the Intel processor is the only one with measurable performance.

The Intel part also carries structural advantages in core count, thread count, L3 cache, memory flexibility (DDR4 and DDR5), ECC support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Its 20 cores and 28 threads provide more parallelism than the AMD part's 12 cores and 24 threads. The 33 MB shared L3 exceeds the AMD part's 16 MB. The launch MSRP is $384.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 is a mobile processor with a 28 W TDP, which suggests a lower-power platform, and it offers LPDDR5X support and a smaller 4 nm process. But none of those attributes are backed by benchmark scores in this database. The architecture differences are real, but without measurements, they cannot be translated into a performance verdict.

The selection depends on platform intent. The Intel Core i7-14700 is the desktop part with verified results and a strong percentile position. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 is the mobile part with no recorded results. For any user who relies on measured data, the Intel Core i7-14700 is the only defensible option in this comparison.
