Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm².

Cache organization differs between the two. The AMD part uses 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also uses 80 KB of L1 cache per core but has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and a larger 20 MB shared L3 cache. The Intel chip therefore provides more than double the L3 capacity, which can benefit workloads with large working sets that reuse data frequently.

Memory support also separates the two designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14401E supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, though no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database for it. This means the AMD part is tied to newer memory types only, while the Intel part retains compatibility with older DDR4 modules.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes. The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. The Intel part's Gen 5 interface offers higher potential transfer rates for compatible devices, while the AMD part uses the more established Gen 4 standard.

The AMD chip is classified as a Mobile market segment part, while the Intel chip is a Desktop market segment part. Both are production-active and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD processor has a release date in 2026, while the Intel processor has a release date in 2024.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 as the stronger processor in overall compute performance. Its average benchmark score of 52901 is roughly ten times the Intel Core i5-14401E's 5253. The percentile ranking confirms this gap: the AMD part lands in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part lands in the 60th percentile.

The AMD processor also carries more cores and threads, 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads for the Intel part. Its boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz, which is higher than the Intel part's 4.70 GHz. Its base clock is lower at 2.00 GHz versus 2.50 GHz, but the higher boost ceiling and larger thread count give it a structural advantage in multi-threaded work.

The Intel Core i5-14401E does hold advantages in specific areas. It offers a larger 20 MB shared L3 cache versus 8 MB on the AMD part, and it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which broadens platform flexibility. It also provides PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, which the AMD part does not. These features matter for users who need legacy memory support or the latest PCIe standard, but they do not translate into higher benchmark scores in the recorded data.

For workloads where raw compute throughput, thread parallelism, and single-thread speed matter most, the data favors the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164. For workloads where cache capacity, DDR4 compatibility, or PCIe Gen 5 support are the deciding factors, the Intel Core i5-14401E has the relevant feature set.

TDP is 28 watts for the AMD part and 65 watts for the Intel part.

The socket and platform differ entirely. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8 and is a Mobile segment part. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700 and is a Desktop segment part. The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename with Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores on a 4 nm TSMC process. The Intel part uses the Raptor Lake-R codename with Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm Intel process.

Cache configurations differ in L2 and L3. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3. The Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are not recorded in the database for these two processors, so the available evidence comes from their respective benchmark suites. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 has a broad set of PassMark results, while the Intel Core i5-14401E has a set of Cinebench results. The two suites measure different workloads, so the comparison relies on each part's overall average score and its percentile placement.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164's average benchmark score of 52901 places it among much stronger competitors. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F at 52873, the Intel Xeon 634 at 52974, the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53206, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53288. The AMD part sits within 0.7% of all four of these processors, which shows it performs at a level comparable to high-end desktop and server parts.

The Intel Core i5-14401E's average benchmark score of 5253 places it among a different tier of competitors. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 at 5259, the Intel Core i7-11700B at 5241, the Intel Core i9-10850K at 5240, and the Intel Core i5-13400T at 5210. The Intel part sits within 0.8% of these processors, which indicates it performs at a level consistent with older desktop and mobile parts.

Within the AMD part's own PassMark results, the strongest scores appear in data compression at 327891, integer math at 87940, floating point math at 55799, and random string sorting at 34801. The extended instructions score is 24193, data encryption scores 16055, and multithread score is 25889. Single-thread score is 4029, physics score is 1210, and find prime numbers score is 71.

Within the Intel part's Cinebench results, the multicore scores scale with the test version: Cinebench R15 multicore is 1830, R20 multicore is 7627, and R23 multicore is 18161. Single-core scores are 258 in R15, 1076 in R20, and 2564 in R23. These results show consistent scaling across Cinebench versions but no direct point of comparison to the PassMark suite used for the AMD part.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins on raw compute metrics. Its 8 cores and 16 threads outperform the Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads in parallel workloads. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock exceeds the Intel part's 4.70 GHz boost clock, which supports higher single-thread performance in burst workloads. Its average benchmark score of 52901 versus 5253 and its 91st percentile placement versus the 60th percentile placement both indicate substantially stronger overall compute capability.

The AMD part also wins on power efficiency. Its 28 watt TDP is less than half of the Intel part's 65 watt TDP, and it still delivers a higher average benchmark score. The 4 nm TSMC process gives it a manufacturing advantage over the 10 nm Intel process, which helps explain the performance-per-watt gap.

The AMD part wins on memory bandwidth. It has a recorded 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, while no bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part. It also supports LPDDR5X, a memory type not available on the Intel part, which is relevant for power-sensitive mobile platforms.

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins on cache capacity. Its 20 MB shared L3 cache is more than double the AMD part's 8 MB L3 cache. Its L2 cache is also larger per core at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB. Workloads that repeatedly access large datasets may benefit from the larger cache footprint.

The Intel part wins on memory flexibility. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part supports only DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Platforms with existing DDR4 memory can use the Intel part without a memory upgrade.

The Intel part wins on PCIe generation. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while the AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with the same lane count. Devices that require Gen 5 bandwidth will only work at full speed on the Intel platform.

The Intel part also wins on release timing. It was released in 2024, two years before the AMD part's 2026 release. For users who need a current Desktop platform with Socket 1700, the Intel part is the available option in the database.
