AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 vs Intel Core i5-14400T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive sweep: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 wins all 11 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the Intel Core i5-14400T. There are no benchmark categories where the Intel part takes the lead.

The largest margin appears in extended instructions, where AMD scores 31,969 against Intel's 14,562, a 119.5% advantage. This category typically reflects SIMD-heavy workloads, and the gap confirms that the Zen 5 architecture handles those operations with substantially more throughput. Data compression shows a similar story: AMD at 461,650 versus 235,636, a 95.9% delta. Integer math follows at 126,829 versus 65,667, a 93.1% gap. Random string sorting lands at 48,894 versus 25,181, a 94.2% delta.

The multithread score is equally one-sided. AMD records 36,487 against Intel's 20,223, an 80.4% advantage. That result aligns with the core and thread counts: AMD fields 12 cores and 24 threads, while Intel has 10 cores and 16 threads. The AMD part also posts a 50.9% win in the physics test, 1,877 versus 1,244. Floating point math goes to AMD at 79,887 versus 49,139, a 62.6% delta. Data encryption shows AMD at 23,132 versus 13,244, a 74.7% lead.

Single-thread performance is closer but still favors AMD. The Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 scores 4,301 in the single-thread test, against 3,512 for the Core i5-14400T, a 22.5% margin. This matters because single-thread speed drives responsiveness in everyday applications, and a 22.5% gap is not trivial. The find prime numbers test, often a proxy for integer-heavy single-thread loops, shows AMD at 130 versus Intel's 73, a 78.1% delta.

The average benchmark score reinforces the pattern. AMD's average across all recorded tests is 74,496, while Intel's is 27,166. The percentile ranking tells the same story: AMD sits in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, Intel in the 79th.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear choice for workloads that benefit from high multi-thread throughput. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 leads by 80.4% in the multithread benchmark, a gap that will be visible in rendering, video encoding, and compilation tasks. Its 12-core, 24-thread layout, combined with a 5.20 GHz boost clock, gives it both parallel capacity and single-thread speed.

The Intel Core i5-14400T, with a 35 W TDP and a 4.50 GHz boost clock, records lower scores across every recorded test. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i9-9900K and AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with average scores within 0.4% of its 27,166 average. That places it firmly in a previous-generation performance tier.

For users constrained by desktop socket compatibility, the Intel part uses Socket 1700, while the AMD part uses the mobile FP8 socket. The AMD processor is not a direct drop-in replacement for a desktop motherboard. The recorded data, however, shows that the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 outperforms the Intel Core i5-14400T in every measured category, with single-thread and multithread margins of 22.5% and 80.4% respectively. The Intel part remains a capable desktop option, but the benchmark results place the AMD part in a higher performance class.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in core count: AMD has 12 cores, Intel has 10. Thread counts differ as well, with AMD at 24 threads and Intel at 16. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for AMD and 1.50 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 5.20 GHz for AMD and 4.50 GHz for Intel.

TDP ratings differ: AMD is rated at 28 W, Intel at 35 W. Sockets are different: AMD uses AMD Socket FP8, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The process nodes are not the same: AMD uses 4 nm from TSMC, Intel uses 10 nm from Intel's own foundry. Die sizes are close: AMD measures 233 mm², Intel measures 215 mm².

Cache layouts differ in L2 and L3. AMD has 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3. Intel has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3. Both have 80 KB of L1 per core.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 is built on Zen 5 architecture, with the codename Gorgon Point and a generation label of Ryzen AI PRO 400 (Zen 5 / Zen 5c). The Intel Core i5-14400T uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core i5 generation (Raptor Lake Refresh).

The manufacturing process differs. AMD uses a 4 nm node from TSMC. Intel uses a 10 nm node from its own foundry. This process difference likely contributes to the AMD part's lower TDP of 28 W versus Intel's 35 W, despite AMD having more cores and higher clock speeds.

Cache architecture differs in organization. AMD provides 1 MB of L2 per core, while Intel provides 1.25 MB per core. AMD's L3 is 16 MB, Intel's is 20 MB shared. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

PCIe support differs by generation, with AMD on Gen 4 and Intel on Gen 5. Both have 16 CPU lanes. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 wins every recorded benchmark category. It is the stronger choice for data compression, integer math, floating point math, encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, physics calculations, prime number searches, multithread workloads, and single-thread workloads.

For data compression, the 95.9% lead translates to faster archive creation and extraction. For integer math, the 93.1% gap indicates stronger general-purpose calculation throughput. The 62.6% floating point advantage matters for scientific and engineering calculations. The 119.5% extended instructions lead suggests heavy SIMD workloads will finish in roughly half the time.

The Intel Core i5-14400T does not win any category in the head-to-head data. Its strengths are contextual: it uses a desktop socket (Socket 1700), supports DDR4 memory, and has a lower launch MSRP of $221. Its nearest rival comparisons show it performing within 0.8% of parts like the Intel Core i7-13700H and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G, meaning it sits in a competitive mid-range desktop bracket.

For users selecting between these two, the AMD part is the performance leader in every measured dimension. The Intel part offers desktop compatibility, DDR4 support, and PCIe Gen 5. The decision rests on platform requirements rather than benchmark results, since the recorded data shows no workload where the Intel processor comes out ahead.
