AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 and the Intel Core i7-14700 occupy different corners of the processor landscape, and their recorded benchmark data reflects that split. The former is a 6-core mobile part built for efficiency, while the latter is a 20-core desktop powerhouse. The database shows a clear performance hierarchy across the board, but the reasons behind that hierarchy are rooted in their architectural and physical differences, which are substantial.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the head-to-head benchmark results, the Intel Core i7-14700 wins every single recorded test. There are 11 comparisons in the database, and Intel claims all of them. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 does not register a single victory in any of the shared workload tests. This is not a close contest in any category; the deltas range from a relatively modest 12.3% deficit for AMD in single-threaded work to a massive 65.2% gap in prime number finding.

The most significant wins for the Intel part come in heavily multithreaded and compute-intensive tasks. The largest margins are in `passmark_find_prime_numbers`, where Intel leads by 65.2%, and `passmark_data_encryption`, where the gap is 61.3%. Floating-point math also shows a major separation, with Intel ahead by 60.4%. Integer math follows closely at 59.7%. These are the workloads that scale with core count and raw throughput, which is exactly where the Core i7-14700, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, has a structural advantage.

The AMD processor’s smallest deficit is in single-thread performance, trailing by only 12.3% in both `passmark_single_thread` and `passmark_singlethread`. This suggests that while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 cannot match the Intel chip's overall throughput, its individual core efficiency is relatively competitive. The data indicates that for lightly threaded tasks, the performance difference narrows considerably, though Intel still holds the lead.

The Intel part also dominates in the broader `avgBenchmarkScore` metric, posting a score of 52301 compared to AMD’s 37804. This overall average places the Core i7-14700 in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the Ryzen AI Embedded P132 sits in the 86th percentile. The nearest rivals for each processor confirm their respective performance tiers: Intel’s competitors include the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H and AMD EPYC 8124P, while AMD’s closest matches are the Intel Core 5 211E and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435, all with average scores near 37800.

The Verdict

The data points to a simple conclusion for raw performance: the Intel Core i7-14700 is the superior processor in every measured workload. Its 20 cores, 28 threads, and higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz deliver a commanding lead across all benchmark categories. The recorded scores show that users who need maximum compute throughput, whether for encryption, math processing, or multithreaded rendering, should look to the Intel part. Its 91st percentile ranking and average score of 52301 place it in a different league than the AMD chip.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, however, is not without its own rationale. Its 28-watt TDP, compared to Intel’s 65-watt TDP, indicates a much lower power envelope. This makes it suitable for mobile or embedded platforms where thermal and power constraints are a priority. Its 4 nm process node from TSMC, versus Intel’s 10 nm node, also suggests a more modern manufacturing process that could offer better efficiency per watt. While the benchmark data does not include direct power consumption measurements, the TDP figures alone indicate a fundamental design difference: one is built for minimal energy draw, the other for maximal output.

For users strictly prioritizing performance, the choice is clear. The Intel Core i7-14700 delivers the higher scores and the broader capability across all tested workloads. For users prioritizing power efficiency, portability, or embedded deployment, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 offers a viable alternative with lower power requirements, though at a significant performance cost. The data does not show any scenario where the AMD part wins, so the decision rests entirely on non-performance factors like power, size, and platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The biggest single win for the Intel Core i7-14700 comes in `passmark_find_prime_numbers`, where its score of 164 dwarfs AMD’s 57, a delta of 65.2%. This test is highly sensitive to integer arithmetic and cache performance, areas where the Intel chip’s larger 33 MB shared L3 cache and higher clock speed provide a decisive edge. The 2 MB per-core L2 cache on Intel, double that of AMD’s 1 MB per-core, also contributes to this result.

Data encryption shows a similarly large gap. Intel scores 29601 against AMD’s 11444, a 61.3% difference. This workload often benefits from higher core counts and efficient instruction execution, both of which favor the Intel part. Floating-point math follows with Intel at 106716 and AMD at 42248, a 60.4% lead. The Intel chip’s 20 cores are able to process parallel math workloads far more effectively than AMD’s 6 cores, despite the latter’s Zen 5 architecture.

Integer math is another area of clear dominance, with Intel scoring 154535 against AMD’s 62249, a 59.7% gap. This test likely scales with core count, and the 28 threads of the Intel part provide substantial parallelism that the 12 threads of the AMD chip cannot match. The `passmark_multithread` score reinforces this, with Intel at 40318 and AMD at 19262, a 52.2% deficit. This is a direct measure of multi-threaded capability, and the nearly 2.1x advantage for Intel is consistent with its 3.3x advantage in core count.

Data compression shows Intel winning 498198 to 230437, a 53.7% lead, and random string sorting follows the same pattern with Intel at 54340 and AMD at 25181, also a 53.7% gap. Physics simulation rounds out the major losses for AMD, with Intel scoring 2226 against AMD’s 1022, a 54.1% difference. The smallest gap is in single-thread tests, where Intel leads 4236 to 3713, a 12.3% margin. This indicates that while the Intel core is faster, the AMD core is not far behind in purely serial execution.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the "Gorgon Point" codename and is part of the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, built on a Zen 5 / Zen 5c core design. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14700, in contrast, uses the "Raptor Lake-R" codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, built on a 10 nm process node at Intel. This process difference is significant, as the smaller node typically allows for better power efficiency and higher transistor density, though the benchmark data shows that Intel’s larger node and higher core count win on performance.

The cache hierarchies also differ. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. However, the AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is a major differentiator: the AMD chip has only 4 MB, while the Intel chip has 33 MB shared. This 8.25x difference in L3 capacity is likely a major factor in the benchmark gaps, particularly in tests that rely on data reuse and memory access patterns.

The integrated graphics are another departure. AMD uses the Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The memory support differs as well: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both have dual-channel memory buses, and both support ECC memory. The AMD chip has a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel chip has no recorded bandwidth figure in the database. PCIe support also differs, with AMD offering Gen 4 with 14 lanes and Intel offering Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the most obvious differences. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14700 has 20 cores and 28 threads. This is a 3.3x difference in cores and a 2.3x difference in threads. The clock speeds also favor Intel: the AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, while the Intel chip has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The boost clock advantage of 0.90 GHz is substantial.

The TDP is a critical distinction. The AMD part draws 28 watts, while the Intel part draws 65 watts, more than double. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket FP8, while Intel uses Socket 1700. The market segments differ, with AMD targeting Mobile and Intel targeting Desktop. The release dates are also different, with AMD launching on 2026-03-08 and Intel on 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a recorded launch MSRP of $384, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP listed. The Intel part has a die size of 257 mm², while the AMD part has no recorded die size. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
