AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data contains no direct head-to-head measurements between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i and the Intel Core i5-14401E. The database lists six Cinebench results for the Intel part, while the AMD entry has no benchmark scores recorded. This asymmetry means the comparison must rely on the available Intel scores and the documented architectural specifications of both processors.

The Intel Core i5-14401E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 and a single-core score of 2564. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 7627 multi-core and 1076 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 1830 multi-core and 258 single-core. These results place the Intel part at the 60th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 5253. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 (average score 5259, a 0.1% deficit), the Intel Core i7-11700B (5241, a 0.2% advantage), the Intel Core i9-10850K (5240, a 0.2% advantage), and the Intel Core i5-13400T (5210, a 0.8% advantage). The Intel part effectively sits in a tight cluster, within 1% of its closest competitors.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking is 50, which is the median position, but this figure is not tied to any measured performance data. Consequently, no exact performance delta can be stated between the two processors. The Intel part's measured results stand as the only quantitative performance evidence available.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers, process nodes, and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c architecture. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm².

The AMD part contains 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part offers 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clock speeds differ: the AMD runs at 2.00 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz, whereas the Intel runs at 2.50 GHz with a boost of 4.70 GHz. The AMD has a thermal design power of 28 watts, while the Intel consumes 65 watts. The AMD uses an AMD Socket FP8, and the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. Both parts share 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and a larger 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part's total L3 is significantly smaller, which may affect workloads that rely on large resident data sets.

The Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD includes a Radeon 880M, while the Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD is classified as a mobile segment processor, while the Intel is a desktop segment processor. The AMD's production status is active, and its release date is recorded as 2026-03-08. The Intel's production status is also active, with a release date of 2024-06-30. Neither part has a launch MSRP listed in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14401E holds the only measurable performance data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 and single-core score of 2564 indicate strong all-around compute capability. The 60th percentile ranking and the average score of 5253 place it slightly above several established desktop parts, including the Intel Core i7-11700B and Intel Core i9-10850K, though the deltas are small (0.2% in both cases). The Intel part's advantage in L3 cache (20 MB versus 8 MB) and memory flexibility (DDR4 and DDR5 support) suggests it is well suited for desktop workloads that benefit from larger cache residency and a wider range of memory options.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded benchmarks, so no direct wins can be attributed to it from measured data. However, its architectural specifications indicate strengths in specific areas. It has more cores and threads (8 and 16 versus 6 and 12), a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz), a lower TDP (28 watts versus 65 watts), and a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm). The mobile market segment and the Radeon 880M integrated graphics suggest a focus on embedded or portable systems where power efficiency and integrated graphics capability matter. The memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is recorded for the AMD part, while no equivalent figure exists for the Intel part, indicating a defined memory throughput advantage.

The Intel part wins in cache capacity, with a 20 MB shared L3 versus 8 MB on the AMD, and in PCIe generation, with Gen 5 versus Gen 4. The Intel part also has a higher base clock (2.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz) and a larger L2 cache per core (1.25 MB versus 1 MB).

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14401E is the only processor with verified performance scores. Its Cinebench results across R15, R20, and R23 show consistent multi-core and single-core performance, and its 60th percentile ranking with an average score of 5253 places it in a competitive position relative to its nearest rivals. The Intel part's larger L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and dual memory type compatibility (DDR4 and DDR5) give it a strong case for desktop use cases where cache-sensitive workloads and modern I/O are priorities.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i cannot be benchmarked from the available data, so any performance verdict must be qualified. Its specifications point toward a different use case: 8 cores and 16 threads, a 28 watt TDP, a 4 nm process, and a mobile segment designation indicate a power-efficient embedded processor. The higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz and the Radeon 880M integrated graphics suggest it is designed for systems where space, power, and graphics output are constrained. The recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s gives it a defined throughput advantage, though no comparable Intel figure exists.

For users who require verified performance numbers and a desktop-oriented feature set, the Intel Core i5-14401E is the documented choice. For embedded or mobile designs where low power, high core count, and integrated graphics are the primary factors, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers the relevant specifications, but its actual performance remains unmeasured in the database. The data does not support a definitive performance winner between the two, as only one side has recorded scores.
