AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 vs Intel Core i9-14900F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded PassMark data shows a clear overall advantage for the Intel Core i9-14900F, which claims 10 of the 11 head-to-head benchmark wins. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 secures a single victory, but the magnitude of Intel's wins in most workloads is substantial.

In multi-threaded performance, the Intel chip scores 46532 in PassMark multithread against AMD's 36487, a 21.6% deficit for the Ryzen part. The gap widens considerably in integer math, where Intel posts 177066 versus 126829, a 28.4% advantage. Floating point math shows a similar pattern: Intel's 119550 beats AMD's 79887 by 33.2%. Data compression favors Intel by 18.2% (564207 vs 461650), while data encryption shows Intel ahead by 33.2% (34644 vs 23132). Random string sorting gives Intel a 23.3% edge (63728 vs 48894), and the physics test shows Intel at 2899 against AMD's 1877, a 35.3% margin. The find prime numbers test is the most lopsided: Intel scores 209 versus AMD's 130, a 37.8% difference.

The single-thread results are much closer. Intel leads with 4506 in PassMark single thread against AMD's 4301, a modest 4.5% delta. This indicates that while Intel holds the per-core advantage, the difference is not overwhelming in lightly threaded tasks.

AMD's only win comes in extended instructions, where it scores 31969 against Intel's 31084, a 2.8% margin. This is a narrow but notable result, suggesting that AMD's newer architecture handles certain specialized instruction sets slightly better.

The average benchmark scores place the AMD part at 74496, which is 24.1% higher than Intel's 60008 average. However, this average includes a broader set of benchmarks for AMD, and the head-to-head PassMark suite tells a different story. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 sits at the 94th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Core i9-14900F sits at the 92nd percentile. Despite Intel's dominance in the direct comparisons, both processors are high-performing parts in the overall database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors represent fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 uses the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². It is a mobile part, coded Gorgon Point, from the Ryzen AI PRO 400 generation, combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i9-14900F uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, on Intel's 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die. It is a desktop part from the Core 14th Gen family.

Core counts differ substantially. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads, while Intel provides 24 cores and 32 threads. Both have a base clock of 2.00 GHz, but Intel's boost clock reaches 5.80 GHz versus AMD's 5.20 GHz. The cache hierarchy also differs: AMD uses 80 KB L1 per core and 1 MB L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3. Intel uses the same 80 KB L1 per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and provides 36 MB of shared L3, giving it significantly more total cache capacity.

Memory support shows a key divergence. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory, offering 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though the database does not list a bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory, which is notable for workstation-adjacent workloads.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation: AMD offers PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics situation is inverted: AMD includes a Radeon 890M iGPU, while Intel's F-series chip has no integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU. The power envelope reflects their market segments: AMD's TDP is 28 watts for mobile, while Intel's is 65 watts for desktop. The AMD part is manufactured by TSMC, the Intel part by Intel's own fabs.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14900F is the clear victor in compute-heavy and throughput-oriented workloads. Its 24 cores and 32 threads, combined with 36 MB of shared L3 cache and a 5.80 GHz boost clock, drive decisive wins in integer math, floating point math, data compression, data encryption, random string sorting, and physics simulations. The multithread score of 46532 and the 37.8% margin in prime number finding indicate that any workload that scales across cores will favor Intel. The 4.5% single-thread edge also means Intel holds a slight lead in lightly threaded applications, though this is not a dominant advantage. For users running rendering, compilation, scientific computation, or heavy data processing on a desktop platform, the Intel part delivers measurably higher throughput, and its 65 W TDP reflects a desktop-oriented power budget.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 wins only in extended instructions, with a 2.8% margin. This is a narrow victory, but it indicates that certain specialized instruction sets execute more efficiently on the Zen 5 architecture. Its strength lies elsewhere: the 28 W TDP, mobile form factor, and integrated Radeon 890M graphics make it suitable for compact or battery-powered systems where a discrete GPU is not required. The 94th percentile ranking versus Intel's 92nd percentile, along with the higher average benchmark score of 74496, suggests that the AMD part performs well across a broader range of recorded tests, even if the direct PassMark comparisons favor Intel. The LPDDR5X memory support and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth position it for memory-sensitive mobile workloads. For a portable workstation or a system where power efficiency and integrated graphics matter more than raw multi-core throughput, the AMD chip is the more balanced option. The data shows Intel wins the performance crown in almost every direct comparison, but AMD's part is competitive in single-thread performance and holds a clear efficiency and platform flexibility advantage.
