AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and Intel Core i5-14501E target different segments entirely, and the data reflects that split. The AMD part is a mobile-class processor with an active production status, an 8-core/16-thread configuration, and a 28 TDP, while the Intel part is a desktop-class processor with 6 cores and 12 threads at a 65 TDP. The AMD chip posts a 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 52,901. The Intel chip, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile, making direct comparison impossible from measured results alone.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is the clear choice for workloads that depend on multithreaded throughput and portable efficiency. Its PassMark multithread score of 25,889, combined with a single-thread score of 4,029, shows a balanced profile suitable for embedded AI tasks and mobile deployments. The Intel Core i5-14501E, with its higher 5.20 GHz boost clock and larger 24 MB shared L3 cache, suits desktop environments where raw single-core responsiveness and large cache residency matter more than core count. Benchmark results indicate the AMD part is the better overall performer, but the Intel part remains viable for desktop builds where its specifications fit the bill.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge at the architectural level. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series, and is built on Raptor Lake architecture at a 10 nm process node from Intel with a die size of 215 mm².

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 per core but increases L2 to 1.25 MB per core and offers a much larger 24 MB shared L3 cache. This difference in L3 capacity favors the Intel part for workloads with repetitive data access patterns that fit within the larger cache. The AMD part compensates with a higher core count and simultaneous multithreading, 16 threads versus 12, which can hide memory latency through parallelism.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel access and a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel access, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ, with the AMD part using Radeon 880M and the Intel part using UHD Graphics 770.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the Intel Core i5-14501E has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164, however, has a full set of PassMark results. Its single-thread score of 4,029 and multithread score of 25,889 define its measured capability. The AMD part also records a floating point math score of 55,799 and an integer math score of 87,940, indicating strong arithmetic throughput. Data compression scores reach 327,891, while data encryption scores 16,055. Extended instruction performance sits at 24,193, and prime number finding scores 71. Random string sorting reaches 34,801, and physics calculations score 1,210.

Because the Intel part has no scores, no direct win/loss tally can be computed. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, confirming the absence of comparative data. What the recorded data does show is that the AMD part holds a 91st percentile position among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 52,901. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F with an average score of 52,873 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Xeon 634 at 52,974 with a delta of -0.1 percent, the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53,206 with a delta of -0.6 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53,288 with a delta of -0.7 percent. These deltas place the AMD part within a tight performance cluster, trailing the top rival by less than one percent. The Intel part has no nearest rivals listed and no average score, so its relative standing cannot be evaluated from the database.
