AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i and the Intel Core i7-14700. The Intel part, however, carries a full set of measured scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark suites, while the AMD processor has no recorded benchmark entries. This asymmetry means the comparison relies entirely on the Intel side's measured results and the architectural specifications of both parts.

Intel's Core i7-14700 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28,398 and a single-core score of 2,080. The R20 run shows 14,388 multi-core and 2,031 single-core, while the older R15 test records 4,061 multi-core and 299 single-core. Geekbench results reach 17,087 multi-core and 2,409 single-core.

The Passmark suite on the Intel chip shows notable strengths in specific workloads. Integer math scores 154,535, floating-point math reaches 106,716, and extended instructions land at 28,388. Data compression scores 498,198, while data encryption hits 29,601. The multi-thread test reports 40,318, with single-thread at 4,236. Prime number finding scores 164, physics reaches 2,226, and random string sorting scores 54,340.

The Intel processor's average benchmark score is 52,301, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H at 52,431 (0.2% behind), the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52,121 (0.3% ahead), the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52,073 (0.4% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X at 51,947 (0.7% ahead). The data shows the Core i7-14700 essentially trades blows with these parts, sitting within a narrow 0.7% band of its closest competition.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded benchmark scores, the database can only compare specifications and architectural traits. The wins column shows zero for both parts, reflecting the absence of direct test data rather than any performance verdict.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700 wins outright in thread count and cache capacity. It offers 20 cores and 28 threads versus the AMD's 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel L3 cache totals 33 MB shared, compared to AMD's 8 MB. L2 cache on Intel is 2 MB per core, double the AMD's 1 MB per core. Both share 80 KB L1 per core.

Clock speeds favor Intel at the top end. Intel boosts to 5.40 GHz versus AMD's 5.00 GHz, though Intel's base clock of 2.10 GHz is only slightly higher than AMD's 2.00 GHz. The Intel part runs at a 65 watt TDP, while the AMD part draws 28 watts. This power envelope difference suggests the AMD chip could fit into thermally constrained systems, but the database provides no measured performance data to confirm any efficiency advantage.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i wins on process technology and memory bandwidth. Its 4 nm TSMC process compares to Intel's 10 nm node. AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s with DDR5 and LPDDR5X support, while Intel lists no memory bandwidth figure. The AMD die measures 233 mm² versus Intel's 257 mm². AMD also supports PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes, while Intel moves to Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 880M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The database records no graphics benchmarks for either, so no numerical comparison is possible.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i uses the Gorgon Point codename from the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700 uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R from the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 257 mm².

The AMD part's cache hierarchy provides 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3. The L3 difference is substantial: Intel's shared pool is more than four times larger than AMD's total L3.

Market segments differ clearly. AMD targets mobile with its Socket FP8 and 28 watt TDP. Intel targets desktop with Socket 1700 and 65 watts. The AMD processor's Radeon 880M integrated graphics and LPDDR5X support align with embedded mobile use cases, while Intel's UHD Graphics 770 and DDR4 compatibility suit desktop builds.

Both processors support ECC memory, which indicates server or workstation alignment despite their different form factors. The AMD part's PCIe Gen 4 interface contrasts with Intel's Gen 5, giving Intel a newer interconnect generation. The AMD part's 4 nm TSMC process represents a denser manufacturing node than Intel's 10 nm, though the database records no transistor counts for either.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split by use case. The Intel Core i7-14700 is the only part with measured benchmark scores, and those scores place it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. Its 20 cores, 28 threads, and 33 MB L3 cache provide the raw multi-threaded capability that the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28,398 and Geekbench multi-core score of 17,087 reflect. The Passmark integer math score of 154,535 and floating-point math score of 106,716 further confirm strong compute throughput.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i has no recorded benchmarks, so the database cannot quantify its performance. What the specifications show is a lower-power part with 8 cores and 16 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its 28 watt TDP, 4 nm process, and LPDDR5X support position it for embedded or mobile systems where power constraints matter more than raw throughput.

The Intel part's nearest rivals cluster within 0.7% of its average score, meaning the Core i7-14700 is competitive with the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H, AMD EPYC 8124P, Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX, and AMD Ryzen 9 5950X. The benchmark data shows no dominant winner among these five, but the Core i7-14700 has the advantage of a full benchmark record.

For users selecting between these two parts, the Intel Core i7-14700 provides measured, validated performance across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers a lower power envelope, newer process node, and higher memory bandwidth per the specifications, but no tested results exist in the database to confirm any performance claim. The choice comes down to whether the use case demands the Intel part's verified multi-threaded throughput or the AMD part's embedded-oriented power efficiency. The database records no head-to-head tests, so any direct comparison remains speculative beyond the specification sheet.
