AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded Passmark results show a decisive overall advantage for the Intel Core i5-14450HX, which wins 9 of the 11 shared workload tests. The Intel part leads by a wide margin in most throughput-heavy tasks, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 secures only the single-threaded tests, and by a narrow margin.

In data compression, the Intel chip scores 278538 against 230437 for the AMD part, a 17.3% deficit for the Ryzen AI Embedded P132. The gap widens further in encryption workloads, where Intel delivers 15574 versus 11444, a 26.5% difference. Floating point math shows a similar pattern: Intel at 58037, AMD at 42248, meaning the AMD processor trails by 27.2%. Integer math follows with 78330 for Intel and 62249 for AMD, a 20.5% shortfall. The multithread test reinforces the trend, with Intel at 23680 and AMD at 19262, an 18.7% gap. Physics workloads show Intel at 1475 versus AMD at 1022, a 30.7% difference. Prime number generation heavily favors Intel, 98 to 57, a 41.8% lead. Random string sorting lands at 29565 for Intel and 25181 for AMD, a 14.8% gap. Extended instructions are closer, with Intel at 17207 and AMD at 16520, a modest 4% difference.

The only two wins for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 come in the single-thread test, where it scores 3713 against Intel's 3643. That 1.9% advantage is consistent across both single-thread entries in the database. The practical impact of that win is limited, as the Intel part leads by double-digit percentages in nearly every multi-threaded and math-oriented benchmark.

Looking at the broader average benchmark scores, the AMD processor actually holds a higher overall average at 37804, compared to 32040 for Intel. This discrepancy stems from the fact that the AMD average includes additional benchmark categories beyond the shared head-to-head tests, while the Intel average draws from its own wider set of recorded tests including Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results. The Cinebench numbers for Intel show a multicore score of 20108 in R23 and a single-core score of 2838, figures that have no direct AMD counterpart in the shared test list.

The percentile rankings place the AMD part at 86th percentile among all CPUs, while Intel sits at 82nd. Both are strong positions, but the head-to-head data makes clear that the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the faster processor in the majority of measured workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing and design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Core i5-14450HX uses a 10 nm process from Intel's own fabs. The AMD chip is built on the Gorgon Point codename with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation, whereas Intel uses the Raptor Lake-HX refresh architecture.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel offers 10 cores and 16 threads. That difference alone explains much of the multi-threaded performance gap. Clock speeds also favor Intel: the base clock is 2.40 GHz versus 2.00 GHz, and the boost clock is 4.80 GHz versus 4.50 GHz.

Cache configurations diverge as well. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core on AMD and 2 MB per core on Intel. L3 cache shows a major difference: the AMD processor has only 4 MB total, while Intel provides 20 MB shared. This larger cache pool gives Intel a notable advantage in workloads that benefit from repeated data access.

Memory support differs in type and bandwidth. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, and the database records no bandwidth figure for it. Both are dual-channel. Both processors support ECC memory, which is unusual for mobile parts and relevant for embedded or workstation uses.

PCIe capabilities also separate the two. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The newer PCIe generation on Intel allows for faster connectivity to GPUs and NVMe storage, assuming the platform supports it.

Integrated graphics differ as well. AMD includes a Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 710. The database does not include graphics benchmarks for either part, so no performance comparison is possible from recorded data.

Power and packaging diverge significantly. The AMD processor has a TDP of 28 watts, while Intel lists 55 watts. This suggests the AMD part is designed for lower-power embedded scenarios, while Intel targets higher-performance mobile systems. The sockets are different: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses BGA 1964. The Intel die size is recorded at 257 mm², while the AMD die size is not listed.

Release timing also differs. The Intel Core i5-14450HX was released in January 2024, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is dated March 2026. Both are listed as active production parts. The Intel part has an unlocked multiplier, while the AMD part does not. The Intel part number is SRMXK; the AMD part number is listed as unknown.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14450HX is the clear winner for multi-threaded throughput. It leads in all shared multi-thread workloads by margins ranging from 4% in extended instructions to 41.8% in prime number generation. The additional 4 cores and 8 threads, combined with a larger 20 MB L3 cache and higher boost clock, give it a decisive edge in rendering, physics simulation, data compression, and encryption. The 10 nm process and 55 watt TDP indicate a design that prioritizes performance over efficiency.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 wins only in single-threaded performance, with a 1.9% edge over Intel. That advantage is small but consistent. The lower 28 watt TDP and 4 nm process suggest this processor targets embedded systems where power efficiency matters more than peak throughput. The support for LPDDR5X memory and the smaller form factor of Socket FP8 reinforce its embedded positioning.

For workloads that rely on single-core responsiveness, such as lightly threaded applications or interactive tasks, the AMD part holds a slight advantage. For anything that scales across cores, the Intel part is substantially faster. The AMD processor also carries a higher overall average benchmark score of 37804 versus 32040, reflecting its stronger standing in the broader database, though this includes tests not shared between the two parts.

The Intel processor also offers a newer PCIe generation with Gen 5 support and more lanes, which matters for systems with high-bandwidth expansion needs. The AMD part counters with lower power consumption and a more modern manufacturing node. The choice between them depends on whether the system prioritizes raw multi-core performance or power-constrained operation.
