AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and the Intel Core i9-14901KE. The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which means the comparison must rely on the AMD processor's measured performance and its position among all CPUs, alongside the architectural specifications of the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 delivers an average benchmark score of 52,901 across the recorded tests. This places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, indicating that it outperforms roughly nine out of ten processors measured. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F with an average score of 52,873, which is 0.1% lower, the Intel Xeon 634 at 52,974, which is 0.1% higher, the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53,206, which is 0.6% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53,288, which is 0.7% higher. These tight margins show that the P164 sits in a dense cluster of high-performance processors, all within a single percentage point of each other.

On individual workload tests, the P164 shows distinct strengths. The data compression score reaches 327,891, which is by far the largest single score in its benchmark suite and suggests exceptional throughput in data-intensive workloads. The integer math score of 87,940 and the floating point math score of 55,799 both indicate strong arithmetic capability. The extended instructions score of 24,193 and the encryption score of 16,055 further confirm that the processor handles specialized instruction sets efficiently. The multithread score of 25,889 and the single-thread score of 4,029 round out the picture of a balanced performer across both parallel and single-threaded tasks.

The physics score of 1,210 and the find prime numbers score of 71 are lower in absolute terms, but these are different workload types that do not directly translate to the same scale as the other tests. The random string sorting score of 34,801 indicates solid sorting and data organization performance. Because the Intel Core i9-14901KE has no benchmark scores in the database, the data cannot show a direct win for either processor in any specific test.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 wins in the area of measured benchmark performance. It has an average benchmark score of 52,901 and a 91st percentile ranking. Its strong data compression score of 327,891 suggests it handles compression-heavy workloads with high throughput. The integer math score of 87,940 and floating point math score of 55,799 indicate solid computational capability for number-crunching tasks. The encryption score of 16,055 and extended instructions score of 24,193 suggest it processes security and specialized instruction workloads effectively. The multithread score of 25,889 and single-thread score of 4,029 show balanced performance across both parallel and single-threaded scenarios.

The AMD's low TDP of 28 watts indicates it operates within a modest power envelope, which can be advantageous in thermally constrained environments. Its support for LPDDR5X memory and its classification as a mobile segment part suggest it is suited to compact or embedded systems where power efficiency matters.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE wins in the area of clock speed. Its boost clock of 5.80 GHz is higher than the AMD's 5.00 GHz, and its base clock of 3.80 GHz is higher than the AMD's 2.00 GHz. The Intel part also has a substantially larger L3 cache at 36 MB compared to 8 MB, which can be an advantage for workloads that benefit from large amounts of fast cache. The Intel processor supports PCIe Gen 5, which is a newer generation than the AMD's PCIe Gen 4, offering higher potential bandwidth for compatible peripherals. The Intel processor also has an unlocked multiplier, which allows users to adjust clock speeds beyond factory settings, assuming adequate cooling and power delivery are available.

The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which gives it flexibility in memory selection, while the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The Intel's TDP of 125 watts is much higher, which indicates it is designed for systems that can supply and dissipate more power, and it is classified as a desktop segment part.

The Verdict

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is a measured performer with an average benchmark score of 52,901 and a 91st percentile ranking, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. For users who prioritize confirmed performance results, the AMD processor has concrete measurements that place it among the top processors in the database, within 0.7% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE offers higher clock speeds, a larger L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and an unlocked multiplier. These features could be relevant for workloads that scale with clock frequency or cache capacity, but the absence of benchmark scores means the database cannot confirm how these specifications translate into measured performance.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 suits systems that need strong measured performance within a 28 watt TDP, mobile or embedded form factors, and support for LPDDR5X memory. The Intel Core i9-14901KE suits systems that can accommodate a 125 watt TDP, require PCIe Gen 5, benefit from a 36 MB L3 cache, and may use the unlocked multiplier for clock adjustments. The choice between the two depends entirely on whether the workload favors the AMD's measured efficiency and compact design or the Intel's higher clock specifications and larger cache, since direct benchmark comparisons are not available in the database.
