Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part includes a Radeon 880M GPU. The Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. The database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either part, so the comparison stops at naming the integrated solutions.

The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no launch MSRP listed in the database.

The Verdict

The database contains no benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i, so any performance claims about that part cannot be verified from recorded measurements. The Intel Core i7-14700T, by contrast, has a full set of benchmark results and a percentile ranking of 88. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 41914 places it among capable desktop processors, with nearest rivals within 0.6% of its score in either direction.

For users selecting a processor based on measured data, the Intel Core i7-14700T is the only part with documented performance. Its 20 cores and 28 threads give it a clear structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads, and its single-thread scores are competitive. The Intel part also offers PCIe Gen 5 support, which the AMD part lacks.

The AMD part may appeal in scenarios where power efficiency and integrated graphics matter. Its 28 watt TDP is lower than the Intel part's 35 watts, and its 4 nm process from TSMC suggests better efficiency per watt. The Radeon 880M integrated GPU may outperform Intel's UHD Graphics 770 in some scenarios, but the database does not include graphics benchmarks to confirm this. The AMD part also supports LPDDR5X memory, which is not listed for the Intel part.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Intel Core i7-14700T is the only part with verified benchmark performance, and its scores are strong across both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The AMD part remains an unknown quantity in the database, with specifications that suggest efficiency advantages but no measured results to support performance comparisons.

The PassMark single-thread score is 3905. These numbers suggest the Intel part can handle lightly threaded applications with ease, and its 5.20 GHz boost clock supports this.

The AMD part's specifications offer points of comparison. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock is close to the Intel part's 5.20 GHz, so single-thread performance could be similar or better depending on IPC. The Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture, built on a 4 nm process, may provide higher instructions per clock than Intel's Raptor Lake cores. However, without benchmark scores, this remains speculative.

The AMD part's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is listed, while the Intel part has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. The AMD part's support for LPDDR5X memory could provide efficiency and bandwidth advantages in mobile or embedded scenarios, but the database does not include measured memory benchmarks for either part.

The Intel part's percentile ranking of 88 and average benchmark score of 41914 place it in the upper tier of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its score, indicating that the Core i7-14700T sits in a competitive performance band. The AMD part's percentile ranking is 50, with an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the absence of benchmark data.

In the absence of direct head-to-head results, the recorded data shows that the Intel Core i7-14700T delivers strong, verified performance across both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P164i offers a more efficient specification sheet, but no measured scores exist to support a performance comparison. The database's only complete performance picture belongs to the Intel part.
