AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete set of benchmark results for the Intel Core i5-14450HX, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible. However, the Intel part's recorded data provides a detailed profile of its performance against the broader CPU landscape. The Intel Core i5-14450HX achieves an average benchmark score of 32040, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i7-13705H scores 32076, a delta of -0.1 percent; the Intel Core i5-14400 scores 32115, a delta of -0.2 percent; the Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, a delta of -0.3 percent; and the Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, a delta of -0.6 percent. These margins are exceptionally small, indicating that the Core i5-14450HX delivers near-identical aggregate performance to processors from both older and newer Intel generations, as well as desktop parts.

Looking at the individual workload results for the Intel Core i5-14450HX, the multi-threaded Cinebench tests show strong scaling. The processor records 2026 points in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 8445 points in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 20108 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Single-core scores follow a similar pattern: 285 points in Cinebench R15, 1191 points in Cinebench R20, and 2838 points in Cinebench R23. The PassMark suite adds further granularity. The processor scores 78330 in integer math, 58037 in floating point math, 278538 in data compression, and 15574 in data encryption. It also records 17207 in extended instructions, 29565 in random string sorting, 1475 in physics, and 98 in prime number finding. The multithread score of 23680 is complemented by a single-thread score of 3643, which appears twice in the database under slightly different test names but with identical values.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i, by contrast, has no benchmark entries at all. Its percentile rank is 50, but with an average benchmark score of zero, this percentile reflects an absence of data rather than a measured competitive position. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and neither processor records any wins in direct comparison. The practical consequence is that the Intel part is fully characterized in the database, while the AMD part can only be assessed through its architectural and specification profile.

The Verdict

The recorded data strongly favors the Intel Core i5-14450HX for any user who relies on measured performance. It has a full suite of benchmark results, a 82nd percentile ranking, and an average score of 32040. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no measured scores, so its real-world performance cannot be quantified from the database. The Intel part also benefits from a higher core count: 10 cores and 16 threads versus 8 cores and 16 threads for the AMD part. Both processors support the same thread count, but the Intel part has two additional physical cores, which typically helps in heavily threaded workloads.

However, the AMD processor is not without structural advantages. It uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm node from Intel's own foundry. The AMD part has a lower thermal design power of 28 watts compared to 55 watts for the Intel part, which suggests a more power-efficient design for constrained chassis. The AMD part also integrates a Radeon 880M graphics unit, whereas the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 710. For workloads that stress the integrated GPU, the AMD part is likely the stronger choice, though no benchmark data confirms this.

The choice depends on the priority. If measured performance is the requirement, the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the only option with data to support it. If efficiency, process technology, and integrated graphics capability are the priorities, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers a modern design with a smaller process node and lower power envelope. The Intel part has a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 5.00 GHz for the AMD part, but the AMD part has the higher peak frequency. The Intel part has a higher base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for the AMD part. These clock differences are minor and do not compensate for the absence of AMD benchmark data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, which is built on a combination of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14450HX uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-HX refresh, part of the Core 14th Gen family. The AMD part is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process at Intel. The die sizes differ as well: the AMD part measures 233 mm², and the Intel part measures 257 mm².

Cache hierarchies show notable differences. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: the AMD part has 1 MB per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is a more substantial difference. The AMD part has 8 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel part has 20 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel part significantly more last-level cache, which can improve performance in cache-sensitive workloads. Neither processor has a 3D V-Cache option recorded.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. This means the Intel part offers a newer PCIe standard for peripheral connectivity.

The socket types are incompatible. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1964. The integrated graphics differ, with the AMD part using a Radeon 880M and the Intel part using UHD Graphics 710. The AMD part has a fixed multiplier, while the Intel part has an unlocked multiplier, which allows overclocking on supported platforms.
