Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins in extended instructions, single-thread performance, integer math, random string sorting, data compression, and multithread workloads. These wins point to strengths in general-purpose computing, encryption-adjacent operations, and tasks that benefit from high per-core efficiency. The 8.9% single-thread lead and the 21.3% extended instructions lead are the standout margins. The 4 nm process from TSMC likely contributes to the efficiency that shows up in these results. The integrated Radeon 880M also makes this part suitable for systems that need graphics output without a discrete GPU.

The Intel Core i5-14400F wins in physics, prime number finding, floating point math, and data encryption. These wins indicate strength in compute-heavy numerical workloads and simulations. The 20.6% physics lead and the 17.4% prime number lead are decisive. The larger 20 MB L3 cache and the 10-core configuration likely support these results. The 65 TDP rating suggests the part can sustain higher power draw for longer bursts, which may explain the floating point and encryption advantages. The Gen 5 PCIe support also gives this part an edge for systems that need the latest storage or expansion bandwidth.

The two parts split the workload spectrum cleanly. AMD leads in memory-oriented operations and instruction throughput, while Intel leads in numerical computation and simulated physics. The multithread score difference is marginal at 1.6%, so neither part can claim a dominant lead in general parallel processing.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors with distinct identities. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is a mobile-oriented part with a 28 TDP, integrated Radeon 880M graphics, and a 4 nm TSMC process.

The nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F, which scores 52873 with a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Xeon 634, which scores 52974 with a -0.1% delta. This puts the AMD part in a tightly competitive field around the 52900 score level.

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a desktop part with a 65 TDP, no integrated graphics, and a 10 nm Intel process. It wins 4 of 11 head-to-head benchmarks, with its largest margins in physics and prime number finding. Its average benchmark score of 32279 places it in the 83rd percentile. The nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, which scores 32233 with a 0.1% delta, and the Intel Core i9-11900, which scores 32226 with a 0.2% delta. The Intel part competes in a lower score band, around 32200.

For users who need a processor with integrated graphics, a low power envelope, and strong single-thread and instruction throughput, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the clear choice based on the recorded data. For users who need maximum numerical computation, physics simulation, and the latest PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel Core i5-14400F delivers those specific wins. The AMD part's higher average score and higher percentile make it the stronger overall performer in the database's measurements. The Intel part's specific benchmark victories show it retains advantages in particular compute domains, but the overall record favors the AMD processor.
