Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 uses the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Gorgon Point, and belongs to the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700T uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core i7 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm².

Core configurations differ substantially. AMD implements 12 cores and 24 threads. Intel implements 20 cores and 28 threads, which indicates a hybrid arrangement of performance and efficiency cores typical of the Raptor Lake design. The AMD chip's base clock is 2.00 GHz and its boost clock is 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip's base clock is 1.30 GHz and its boost clock is also 5.20 GHz. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning neither supports unlocked overclocking.

Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has more than double the L3 cache, which may explain its strength in certain rendering workloads despite lower core efficiency.

Memory support shows a split. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory. Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses the Radeon 890M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD chip is a mobile segment processor on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip is a desktop segment processor on Intel Socket 1700.

The AMD chip's release date is recorded as 2026-01-04, while the Intel chip's release date is 2024-01-07. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $384, stated here once. The AMD chip has no launch MSRP recorded. Production status is Active for both.

The Verdict

The data indicates two distinct usage profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 wins the majority of benchmark tests, particularly in data compression, encryption, extended instructions, integer math, multithread throughput, random string sorting, and floating-point math. Its average benchmark score is 34.3% higher than Intel's (56,306 versus 41,914), and it ranks 4 percentile points higher overall. For workloads that stress data manipulation, encryption, and parallel integer operations, AMD is the stronger choice.

The Intel Core i7-14700T wins the heavily weighted Cinebench rendering tests. Its 26.5% lead in Cinebench R23 multicore and 44% lead in Cinebench R23 single-core indicate a decisive advantage in CPU rendering and single-threaded legacy workloads. The Intel chip also wins Cinebench R15 single-core, PassMark find prime numbers, and PassMark physics. For rendering pipelines and physics simulation, Intel is the stronger option.

The socket and market segment differences are decisive for system integration. AMD targets mobile platforms with AMD Socket FP8, while Intel targets desktop platforms with Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip draws 28 W TDP, while the Intel chip draws 35 W TDP. The Intel chip supports PCIe Gen 5, while AMD supports PCIe Gen 4. These factors determine which platform each processor can serve, independent of raw benchmark scores.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 wins in data-heavy and security-related workloads. Its 63.6% lead in extended instructions makes it the choice for SIMD-heavy numerical code. The 30.2% lead in data compression and 26.7% lead in random string sorting point to strengths in database, archiving, and text-processing tasks. The 12% lead in integer math and 19.1% lead in multithread performance cover general productivity and parallel computation. The 7.8% lead in data encryption suits encryption and hashing tasks. Even the narrow 1.2% floating-point math win and the 3.7% single-thread PassMark win indicate AMD holds a slight edge in those areas as well.

The Intel Core i7-14700T wins in rendering and physics. The 26.5% lead in Cinebench R23 multicore makes it the stronger choice for 3D rendering, video encoding, and other multi-threaded creative workloads that rely on rendering engines. The 44% lead in Cinebench R23 single-core covers legacy single-threaded applications and older software that cannot use multiple cores effectively. The 15.2% lead in Cinebench R15 single-core reinforces this pattern. The 6.2% lead in find prime numbers and the 1.6% lead in physics indicate Intel holds a small but consistent advantage in prime-number computation and physics simulation.

The overall win count favors AMD at 10 wins versus 5, but the magnitude of Intel's Cinebench wins is large enough to matter for rendering-focused users. AMD's average benchmark score advantage of 34.3% reflects its broader dominance across the PassMark suite, while Intel's concentrated wins in Cinebench show a narrower but deeper advantage in specific rendering workloads.
