AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a clear split between two very different processor designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 takes 5 wins, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE takes 6, but the margins tell a more interesting story than the raw win count.

The AMD processor's most dominant result comes in single-threaded performance, where it scores 3713 against Intel's 2637, a 40.8% advantage. This is a substantial gap that appears consistently across both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread tests. The AMD part also leads in extended instructions with a 15.1% margin (16520 vs 14354), random string sorting by 10.6% (25181 vs 22760), and data compression by 4.5% (230437 vs 220520).

The Intel processor, however, counters with significant wins in several compute-heavy workloads. The physics test shows Intel at 1860 versus AMD's 1022, a 45.1% difference. Prime number finding is even more lopsided: Intel scores 143 against AMD's 57, a 60.1% gap. Floating point math favors Intel by 15.9% (50219 vs 42248), integer math by 5.4% (65792 vs 62249), and multithread performance by 3.9% (20042 vs 19262). Data encryption is nearly a tie, with Intel ahead by just 2.2% (11699 vs 11444).

Looking at aggregate scores, the AMD processor posts an average benchmark score of 37804, placing it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part averages 26013, at the 78th percentile. The AMD chip's nearest rival, the Intel Core 5 211E, averages 37829, a 0.1% difference. The Intel i7-14701TE sits close to the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, which averages 25981, a 0.1% gap. The average score difference between the two processors in this comparison, roughly 45%, stems largely from the AMD chip's single-thread dominance and the fact that the Intel part's Cinebench scores are included in its average while the AMD part's average draws from PassMark tests only.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. AMD's Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses the Gorgon Point codename with a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c core arrangement, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. Intel's Core i7-14701TE belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die size.

Core counts differ: AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel offers 8 cores and 16 threads. Clock speeds favor Intel on paper, with a 2.10 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost versus AMD's 2.00 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost. Yet the benchmark data shows AMD winning single-thread performance by 40.8%, indicating that architecture efficiency, not raw clock rate, drives the result.

Cache hierarchies diverge significantly. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core, but AMD allocates 1 MB of L2 per core and a 4 MB L3 cache, while Intel gives 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 on Intel likely contributes to its wins in physics and floating point math, workloads that benefit from larger working sets residing on-chip.

Memory support differs as well. AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities favor Intel: the i7-14701TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD pairs the CPU with a Radeon 840M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor targets the mobile segment with a 28 W TDP and AMD Socket FP8, while Intel targets desktop with a 45 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700. The production status for both is active. Release dates show Intel launched in mid-2024, while AMD's part arrived later, in early 2026. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data indicates two distinct performance profiles. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 delivers exceptional single-thread performance, beating Intel by 40.8% in that metric, and shows strength in extended instructions, random string sorting, and data compression. Its average benchmark score of 37804 and 86th percentile ranking place it ahead of the Intel part overall.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE counters with strong multithreaded and math-oriented performance. It wins the physics test by 45.1%, prime number finding by 60.1%, floating point math by 15.9%, integer math by 5.4%, and overall multithread by 3.9%. It also has more cores, more threads, a larger L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 support.

The AMD processor is the choice for workloads dominated by single-thread responsiveness and instruction-level efficiency. The Intel processor suits workloads that scale across many threads and benefit from large cache capacity and math throughput. The AMD part's 28 W TDP versus Intel's 45 W TDP also indicates a power efficiency gap, though the database records no power consumption measurements beyond TDP.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification category. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE uses 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz for AMD and 2.10 GHz for Intel; boost clocks are 4.50 GHz for AMD and 5.20 GHz for Intel.

TDP ratings differ by 17 W: AMD draws 28 W, Intel draws 45 W. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket FP8, Intel uses Socket 1700. Process nodes differ by generation: AMD is on 4 nm from TSMC, Intel is on 10 nm from its own foundry. The Intel die measures 257 mm²; the database records no die size for AMD.

Cache allocation differs in L2 and L3. AMD provides 1 MB of L2 per core and 4 MB of L3, while Intel provides 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. Memory support overlaps on DDR5, but AMD adds LPDDR5X while Intel adds DDR4. AMD records 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth; Intel has no recorded figure. PCIe differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes, Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 840M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Market segments differ: AMD targets mobile, Intel targets desktop. Release dates differ by roughly a year and a half: Intel launched in mid-2024, AMD in early 2026. The multiplier is locked on both. The Intel part has a recorded part number, Q49GSRNJL, while AMD's is unknown.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 wins in single-thread performance by 40.8%, extended instructions by 15.1%, random string sorting by 10.6%, and data compression by 4.5%. These results point to workloads that rely on per-core efficiency, branch handling, and string manipulation. The high single-thread score of 3713 suggests responsiveness in latency-sensitive applications.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in prime number finding by 60.1%, physics by 45.1%, floating point math by 15.9%, integer math by 5.4%, multithread by 3.9%, and data encryption by 2.2%. These results indicate strength in numerically intensive, parallel workloads. The physics score of 1860 and floating point score of 50219 are particularly notable.

The split is clean: AMD for single-thread and instruction-level work, Intel for parallel math and physics. The AMD part's higher percentile ranking (86 vs 78) and higher average score (37804 vs 26013) reflect its overall benchmark standing, but the Intel part's wins in six of eleven head-to-head tests show that workload selection determines the better choice. The 8-core, 16-thread Intel processor with 33 MB of L3 cache handles cache-hungry, thread-scalable tasks, while the 6-core, 12-thread AMD processor with its 4 nm process and 4.50 GHz boost excels at per-thread throughput and power-conscious mobile deployments.
