AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i5-14600 Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data separates these two processors clearly. The Intel Core i5-14600 wins every single recorded head-to-head test, 11 out of 11. Its average benchmark score of 44889 places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 averages 37804, sitting in the 86th percentile. For workloads measured by the database, the Intel part is the stronger performer across the board, from single-threaded tasks to heavily parallelized multi-core loads.

The Ryzen AI Embedded P132, however, targets a different usage profile entirely. It is a 28-watt mobile-class processor on AMD Socket FP8, built on TSMC's 4 nm node with a Gorgon Point codename. Its market segment is mobile, meaning it is designed for embedded systems, compact devices, and power-constrained environments. The Intel Core i5-14600 is a 65-watt desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, built on Intel's 10 nm process with Raptor Lake architecture. These are not direct competitors in the traditional sense; they serve different physical and thermal envelopes. The data shows that if raw performance is the only criterion, the i5-14600 wins decisively. If power efficiency and embedded form factor matter more, the P132 has a place despite its lower scores.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results are one-sided. The Intel Core i5-14600 wins all 11 recorded tests. The closest margin is in single-thread performance. In passmark_single_thread, the Intel part scores 4167 against the AMD part's 3713, a delta of -10.9% from the AMD perspective. That means the Intel part is about 12.2% faster in raw single-thread work. The same result appears in the duplicate passmark_singlethread test.

The gap widens significantly in multi-threaded and math-heavy workloads. In passmark_multithread, the Intel part scores 35848 versus 19262, a delta of -46.3%. In passmark_integer_math, the Intel part scores 117078 versus 62249, a delta of -46.8%. In passmark_floating_point_math, the Intel part scores 85759 versus 42248, a delta of -50.7%. These results indicate the Intel part delivers roughly double the throughput in integer and floating-point operations.

The largest margin appears in passmark_find_prime_numbers. The Intel part scores 155 versus 57, a delta of -63.2%. That is a 2.7x advantage for the Intel part. In passmark_data_encryption, the Intel part scores 25082 versus 11444, a delta of -54.4%. In passmark_physics, the Intel part scores 2330 versus 1022, a delta of -56.1%. In passmark_extended_instructions, the Intel part scores 25674 versus 16520, a delta of -35.7%. In passmark_data_compression, the Intel part scores 434620 versus 230437, a delta of -47%. In passmark_random_string_sorting, the Intel part scores 48043 versus 25181, a delta of -47.6%.

Every recorded delta favors the Intel part. The AMD part has zero wins in the head-to-head table. The smallest deficit is in single-thread performance, where the AMD part trails by roughly 11%. The largest deficit is in prime number finding, where it trails by over 63%.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14600 wins every benchmark category. It is the better choice for any workload measured by the database. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration with a 24 MB shared L3 cache and 5.20 GHz boost clock delivers consistently higher scores across compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating-point math, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, and single-thread tests.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 does not win any recorded benchmark. Its advantages appear only in non-performance fields. It has a 28-watt TDP versus 65 watts, which indicates lower power draw. It uses a 4 nm process, which suggests a more modern manufacturing node. It supports LPDDR5X memory, which is relevant for mobile and embedded designs. It targets the mobile market segment with an FP8 socket, meaning it fits into compact systems where the larger Intel Socket 1700 desktop platform may not apply.

For a system builder choosing between these two, the decision depends on the physical and thermal constraints of the target device. If the platform is a desktop with standard cooling and power headroom, the Intel Core i5-14600 is the clear performance pick. If the platform is an embedded or mobile device requiring lower power consumption and a smaller footprint, the AMD part offers those characteristics, but with the understanding that its benchmark scores are substantially lower across every measured workload. The data does not show any workload where the AMD part comes out ahead.
