Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 dominates in most computational workloads that stress throughput and data manipulation. Its largest victories come in extension-heavy tasks and data compression. The recorded data shows a 93.1% lead in PassMark extended instructions, a 52.8% advantage in data compression, and a 42.3% lead in random string sorting. These are workloads that benefit from a wide execution engine and efficient instruction handling. The AMD chip also holds a 34.1% lead in integer math, a 23.6% lead in floating point math, and a 25.8% lead in data encryption. The multithreaded PassMark score favors the AMD part by 37.8%, and the Cinebench R15 multicore test shows a 43% advantage.

The Intel Core i5-14600T wins in the single-core Cinebench tests. It leads by 1.9% in Cinebench R15 single-core and by a substantial 35.2% in Cinebench R23 single-core. The largest Intel victory is in Cinebench R23 multicore, where it leads by 14.9%. These wins indicate that the Intel part has a strong advantage in lightly threaded rendering workloads and in mixed-thread rendering that scales well with its core configuration. The Intel chip also holds a narrow 2.2% deficit in PassMark physics, a close result that highlights the AMD part's slight edge in that specific simulation test.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 uses the Zen 5 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, with the codename Gorgon Point. It belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14600T uses the Raptor Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process, with the codename Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel chip has 14 cores and 20 threads. The Intel part has more physical cores, but the AMD part has more threads due to simultaneous multithreading on all 12 cores. The Intel Core i5-14600T uses a hybrid configuration typical of Raptor Lake, though the database records only the total core and thread counts.

Cache layouts also differ. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, but the Intel part doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is larger on the Intel side at 24 MB shared, compared to 16 MB on the AMD side. The AMD chip has a smaller die size at 233 mm², while the Intel die measures 257 mm².

Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while no bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part. Both support ECC memory. The AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while the Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

The integrated graphics are also different. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 890M, while the Intel chip uses the UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part targets the mobile market with an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel chip has a TDP of 35 watts. The production status is recorded as Active for both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results tell a nuanced story. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 scores 3234 against 2262 for the Intel chip, a 43% lead. That is the AMD part's biggest Cinebench win. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the Intel chip scores 319 against 313, a slim 1.9% edge. The picture changes in Cinebench R23. The Intel chip scores 22447 against 19095, a 14.9% lead in multicore, and 3169 against 2054 in single-core, a 35.2% lead. The AMD part wins the older R15 multicore test by a wide margin, but the Intel part wins the newer R23 tests by a wide margin in both single-core and multicore.

The PassMark suite heavily favors the AMD chip. In data compression, the AMD part scores 461195 against 301827, a 52.8% lead. In data encryption, the AMD part scores 22929 against 18226, a 25.8% lead. Extended instructions show the largest gap: 32803 against 16985, a 93.1% lead. Find prime numbers shows a 12.4% lead, with scores of 136 and 121. Floating point math favors the AMD part at 80023 against 64726, a 23.6% lead. Integer math shows 127573 against 95112, a 34.1% lead. The multithread test shows 36402 against 26409, a 37.8% lead. Physics is close: 1915 against 1873, a 2.2% lead. Random string sorting shows 48824 against 34310, a 42.3% lead. The single-thread PassMark test favors the AMD part at 4050 against 3744, an 8.2% lead. The same result appears twice in the database, once as passmark_single_thread and once as passmark_singlethread, with identical scores.

The Intel chip also has recorded results in Cinebench R20, with a multicore score of 9427 and a single-core score of 1330. It also has Geekbench scores of 12840 multicore and 2559 single-core. The AMD chip has no recorded results for these tests, so no direct head-to-head comparison is possible for those workloads.
