AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data positions the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and Intel Core i5-14401TE in distinctly different performance classes. The AMD processor holds a commanding lead in the recorded measurements, with an average benchmark score of 52901 placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel part, with no recorded benchmark scores and a 50th percentile placement, cannot be compared directly on a test-by-test basis. However, the available data indicates that the AMD chip delivers substantially higher multi-threaded throughput, as evidenced by its PassMark multi-thread score of 25889, a figure the Intel processor has no recorded equivalent for. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the appropriate choice for workloads requiring high parallel processing capability and advanced integrated graphics, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE, with its 45 W TDP and desktop socket, fits systems where a standard LGA1700 platform and legacy DDR4 support are priorities. The data shows no scenario where the Intel part outperforms the AMD part in the recorded metrics.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². It belongs to the Gorgon Point codename family and is part of the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². It is based on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, which is a Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

The AMD part integrates 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part provides 6 cores and 12 threads. Core count differences directly influence multi-threaded performance, and the AMD chip's additional cores and threads contribute to its higher recorded scores. The cache hierarchy also differs significantly. The AMD processor features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has the same 80 KB L1 per core, a larger 1.25 MB L2 per core, and a substantially larger 20 MB shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger L3 cache could benefit certain workloads, but the recorded benchmark data does not include tests that isolate this advantage.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Both processors support ECC memory. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), giving the Intel chip a newer PCIe standard for potential peripheral bandwidth advantages.

Integrated graphics differ notably. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 includes a Radeon 880M, a more capable integrated GPU solution. The Intel Core i5-14401TE includes UHD Graphics 730. The database does not record any GPU benchmark scores for either processor, so the comparison rests on the known part names.

The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8 and is classified in the mobile market segment. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified in the desktop market segment. This socket and segment distinction determines platform compatibility: the AMD part targets embedded and mobile designs, while the Intel part fits standard desktop motherboards. The release dates differ as well, with the AMD part dated March 2026 and the Intel part dated June 2024. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP in the database, and both have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark section in the database contains no paired test results, and the win counts for both processors are zero. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164, however, has a full set of recorded PassMark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark results. This absence of data for the Intel part means a direct per-test comparison cannot be made. The AMD processor's scores stand alone as reference points.

The AMD chip records a PassMark multi-thread score of 25889, which reflects its 8-core, 16-thread configuration. Its single-thread score is 4029, recorded under both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread test names. In integer math, the AMD part scores 87940, and in floating point math it scores 55799. The extended instructions test yields a score of 24193. Data compression scores 327891, and data encryption scores 16055. Random string sorting produces a score of 34801. The find prime numbers test gives a notably low score of 71, and the physics test scores 1210.

The average benchmark score for the AMD processor is 52901, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F with an average score of 52873 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Xeon 634 with an average score of 52974 and a delta of -0.1 percent, the AMD EPYC 7313P with an average score of 53206 and a delta of -0.6 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with an average score of 53288 and a delta of -0.7 percent. These figures indicate that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 sits within a tight performance cluster, essentially matching the Ryzen 5 9500F and trailing the Xeon 634 by a negligible margin. The Intel Core i5-14401TE, with an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals recorded, cannot be positioned within this cluster.

The performance gap between the two processors is therefore qualitative rather than quantitative. The AMD part has established measured results across a broad suite of tests, while the Intel part has no recorded measurements. The absence of Intel data means the database cannot confirm any specific performance advantage for the Core i5-14401TE.

Specification Differences

The recorded specifications show several points of difference between the two processors. Core and thread counts differ: the AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, the Intel part has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are identical at 2.00 GHz for both. Boost clocks differ, with the AMD part reaching 5.00 GHz and the Intel part reaching 4.50 GHz. The AMD processor has a 0.50 GHz higher boost clock, which contributes to its single-thread performance potential.

TDP ratings differ, with the AMD part rated at 28 W and the Intel part rated at 45 W. The AMD processor draws less power under the recorded specification, making it more suitable for power-constrained embedded or mobile designs. The Intel processor's higher TDP indicates a greater power envelope for desktop operation.

Socket types differ: AMD Socket FP8 for the AMD part, Intel Socket 1700 for the Intel part. Process nodes differ: 4 nm for AMD, 10 nm for Intel. The AMD part uses a smaller process node, which typically enables higher efficiency and density. Die sizes are 233 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel, a 18 mm² difference in favor of the Intel part being smaller by physical area.

Cache configurations differ in L2 and L3 sizes. The AMD part has 1 MB L2 per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB L2 per core. The AMD part has 8 MB L3 cache, while the Intel part has 20 MB shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger L3 cache could provide a data locality advantage in cache-sensitive workloads, but no recorded benchmarks confirm this.

Memory support differs: the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded memory bandwidth. PCIe support differs: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes, the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: Radeon 880M for AMD, UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. Market segments differ: mobile for AMD, desktop for Intel. Release dates differ: March 2026 for AMD, June 2024 for Intel. Part numbers differ: unknown for AMD, Q4T4SRNJP for Intel.
