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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 and Intel Core i9-14901TE are both 8-core, 16-thread processors, but the benchmark data available in the database is one-sided. The AMD part has a full suite of recorded PassMark results, while the Intel part has no benchmark entries at all. This absence of recorded data for the Intel processor means a direct numerical comparison across individual tests is not possible from the database. What can be analyzed is the AMD processor's absolute performance profile and how it positions against other processors in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 delivers a PassMark single-thread score of 4029. This places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, indicating strong per-core performance. Its multithreaded score of 25889 reflects the combined throughput of its 8 cores and 16 threads. The average benchmark score for the AMD processor is 52901, which places it in a competitive cluster with several other processors. The nearest rival in the database is the AMD Ryzen 5 9500F, which has an average score of 52873, a delta of 0.1 percent, meaning the P164 is effectively tied with it. The Intel Xeon 634 scores 52974, which is 0.1 percent higher than the P164. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, 0.6 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, 0.7 percent higher. These deltas are small, showing that the P164 sits in a tightly packed performance band among these rivals.

In integer math, the P164 scores 87940. In floating point math, it scores 55799. Extended instruction workloads produce a score of 24193. Data compression tasks yield 327891, while data encryption scores 16055. Random string sorting completes at 34801. Prime number finding, a test that stresses branch prediction and integer throughput, returns a score of 71. Physics simulation scores 1210. These individual workload numbers reveal a processor that is well balanced across different instruction types, with particularly strong results in compression and sorting tasks.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE carries an average benchmark score of 0 in the database and sits in the 50th percentile with no recorded measurements. This is a data gap, not a performance judgment. The database cannot confirm any performance outcome for the Intel part. Therefore, the head-to-head comparison is limited to architectural and specification differences, which are substantial.

Where Each One Wins

Without recorded benchmarks for the Intel Core i9-14901TE, the database cannot assign workload wins to it. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164, by contrast, has clear strengths in several measured categories. Its data compression score of 327891 is the highest among its recorded workloads, indicating that compression algorithms, which rely heavily on memory bandwidth and cache efficiency, benefit greatly from this processor. The random string sorting score of 34801 also shows strong memory subsystem performance. The encryption score of 16055 and the extended instructions score of 24193 show that the processor handles cryptographic and SIMD-style workloads competently.

The single-thread score of 4029 is notable. It places the P164 in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, which means that lightly threaded applications, such as many legacy programs, databases with low concurrency, or interactive workloads, will see strong responsiveness. The multithread score of 25889, while lower than the sum of its parts might suggest, is still respectable for an 8-core part with a 28 watt TDP. The physics score of 1210 is modest, suggesting that the processor is not optimized for physics simulation or heavily floating-point driven game physics.

For the Intel part, the database records no wins because no scores exist. The processor's specifications, however, indicate areas where it might excel if measured. It has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, both higher than the AMD's 2.00 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. It also has a larger L3 cache of 36 MB shared, compared to the AMD's 8 MB. These specifications suggest that the Intel part could deliver strong single-threaded performance in scenarios that benefit from high clock speeds and large cache, but the database has no measurements to confirm this.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE uses Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD processor comes from the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, which uses a mix of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel processor uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: the AMD part uses 1 MB per core, while the Intel part uses 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is a major difference. The AMD part has 8 MB total, while the Intel part has 36 MB shared. This is a 4.5 times difference in L3 capacity, which can significantly affect workloads that repeatedly access large datasets.

The process node difference is also significant. The AMD part uses TSMC's 4 nm process, while the Intel part uses Intel's 10 nm process. The die size for the AMD part is 233 mm², while the Intel part is 257 mm². Despite the Intel part having a larger die, it is built on an older process node. The AMD part packs its 8 cores, 8 MB L3, and Radeon 880M integrated graphics into a smaller die area.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with dual-channel memory and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database lists no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory. PCIe support differs: the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Intel part a potential bandwidth advantage for PCIe devices, but the AMD part has a lower power envelope.

The TDP difference is substantial. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 watts, while the Intel part has a TDP of 45 watts. This means the AMD processor is designed for lower power consumption and likely for more thermally constrained environments, consistent with its market segment of Mobile. The Intel processor is classified as Desktop. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses the Intel Socket 1700. The integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 880M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The release dates differ as well. The Intel Core i9-14901TE was released on 2024-06-30, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164 has a release date of 2026-03-08. The AMD part is newer by roughly 20 months. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP in the database. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The database provides a clear picture for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164: it is a capable 8-core, 16-thread processor with a 91st percentile single-thread ranking and an average benchmark score of 52901, placing it within 0.7 percent of several strong rivals. Its 28 watt TDP, 4 nm process, and integrated Radeon 880M graphics make it suited for power-conscious embedded or mobile applications. Its recorded scores show particular strength in data compression and sorting, with a strong single-thread result.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE cannot be evaluated on performance from the database because no benchmark measurements are recorded. Its specifications indicate a desktop processor with higher base and boost clocks, double the L2 cache per core, a much larger L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 support. Its 45 watt TDP and Intel Socket 1700 footprint target a different use case. Users who need verified performance data should note that the Intel part has no recorded scores, while the AMD part has a full suite of measurements. The choice between the two, based strictly on the recorded data, favors the AMD processor for any workload where measured performance is required. The Intel part remains an unverified quantity in the database.
