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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing. Neither the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i nor the Intel Core i5-14401TE has any benchmark scores, average scores, or nearest rival data populated. The wins counter shows zero for both processors, and the percentile versus all CPUs is identical at 50 for each. This means the analysis must rely entirely on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas.

Without measured scores, the only comparative signals come from clock potential, core counts, and platform capabilities. The AMD part reaches a 5.00 GHz boost clock, which is 11% higher than the Intel part's 4.50 GHz ceiling. The AMD processor also brings 8 cores and 16 threads against 6 cores and 12 threads on the Intel side, a 33% advantage in core count and a 33% advantage in thread count. These structural differences suggest the AMD part holds a theoretical throughput edge in heavily threaded workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this.

The Intel part counters with a larger shared L3 cache. The i5-14401TE has 20 MB of shared L3, while the AMD P164i has 8 MB of L3. The Intel processor also has a higher per-core L2 allocation at 1.25 MB per core versus 1 MB per core on the AMD side. L1 is identical at 80 KB per core. These cache differences may favor the Intel part in workloads with high data reuse, but again, no measured data validates this.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries, process nodes, and design generations. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The AMD part belongs to the Gorgon Point codename under the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, specifically combining Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel part belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation under the Raptor Lake architecture. The process node difference alone suggests the AMD design has a transistor density advantage, though transistor counts are not recorded in the database.

Die size differs modestly. The AMD processor measures 233 mm², while the Intel processor measures 215 mm². The AMD die is roughly 8% larger despite using a more advanced process node, which aligns with the higher core count and integrated Radeon 880M graphics. The Intel die carries UHD Graphics 730. Both processors support ECC memory, which positions them for reliability-focused workloads.

Memory support diverges clearly. The AMD P164i supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel i5-14401TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. The AMD part's LPDDR5X support is notable for embedded and mobile contexts, while the Intel part retains DDR4 compatibility for existing desktop platforms.

PCIe capability differs by generation. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU-only lanes. The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. The Intel part offers a newer PCIe standard, which can matter for storage and accelerator bandwidth, while the AMD part relies on the previous generation. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not available on either.

The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, indicating a mobile or embedded form factor, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. Market segments confirm this: AMD lists the P164i as Mobile, and Intel lists the i5-14401TE as Desktop. Release dates differ by roughly 20 months, with the Intel part released in 2024 and the AMD part released in 2026.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i wins on core and thread count, delivering 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads. It also has the higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.50 GHz, a 0.50 GHz advantage. The AMD part draws less power, with a TDP of 28 against 45 for the Intel part. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory, which the Intel part does not, and records a specific memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The AMD part uses a smaller 4 nm process from TSMC, which points to better power efficiency per transistor. Its mobile market segment and FP8 socket fit embedded and portable designs.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins on cache capacity. It has 20 MB of shared L3 versus 8 MB on the AMD part, a 12 MB difference. Per-core L2 is also larger at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB. The Intel processor supports DDR4 memory, giving it backward compatibility with existing desktop memory ecosystems. It provides PCIe Gen 5, which is a generation ahead of the AMD part's PCIe Gen 4. The Intel part uses the desktop Socket 1700, which matches a broader desktop platform ecosystem. Its 215 mm² die is smaller than the AMD part's 233 mm² die. The Intel processor also released earlier, in 2024 versus 2026.

The Verdict

The data presents two processors aimed at different deployment contexts. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i positions itself as a higher-core-count, higher-boost, lower-TDP mobile and embedded part with a smaller process node and LPDDR5X support. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, and 5.00 GHz boost clock give it a structural advantage in parallel throughput and single-thread ceiling on paper. The 28 TDP makes it the more power-conscious choice, which aligns with its mobile market segment and FP8 socket.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE positions itself as a desktop part with a 45 TDP, PCIe Gen 5, and larger L3 cache. Its 20 MB shared L3 and 1.25 MB per-core L2 give it a cache hierarchy advantage, which can benefit latency-sensitive workloads. DDR4 support extends its reach into platforms that are not yet on DDR5. The Socket 1700 desktop ecosystem and earlier release date make it a more established option in the desktop space.

There are no benchmark scores in the database for either processor, so the verdict cannot rest on measured performance. The nearest rivals lists are empty, the average benchmark scores are zero, and the percentile versus all CPUs is identical at 50 for both. Any choice between these two must be based on the specification record alone.

For applications that prioritize core count, boost frequency, power efficiency, and modern memory types, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i shows the stronger profile. For applications that prioritize cache capacity, PCIe Gen 5, DDR4 compatibility, and desktop platform fit, the Intel Core i5-14401TE shows the stronger profile. The recorded data does not indicate a universal winner. The AMD part dominates the throughput and efficiency columns, while the Intel part dominates the cache and platform connectivity columns. The decision rests on which of those categories matters more for the target workload.
