Architecture Differences

The two processors come from entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. This hybrid core arrangement combines high-performance Zen 5 cores with high-efficiency Zen 5c cores in a single package. The Intel Core i5-14400F uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, representing the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. Intel's design pairs performance cores with efficient cores, but the database does not specify the exact core mix.

Manufacturing differences are significant. AMD fabricates its chip on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². Intel fabricates its chip on a 10 nm process at its own foundry with a die size of 215 mm². The AMD chip is slightly larger in physical area despite using a smaller process node, which likely reflects the additional integrated GPU hardware and the hybrid core layout.

Cache hierarchies differ between the two designs. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD chip provides 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel chip provides 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The L3 cache arrangement is notably different: AMD uses 16 MB of L3 cache, and Intel uses 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel's larger shared L3 pool gives its cores faster access to frequently used data across the entire processor.

PCIe connectivity also follows different paths. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core i5-14400F provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel's newer PCIe standard offers higher bandwidth for compatible storage and expansion cards, though the practical benefit depends on the rest of the system.

Memory bandwidth figures are only recorded for the AMD chip, which lists 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip has no recorded memory bandwidth value in the database, though it supports both DDR4 and DDR5, suggesting flexible platform compatibility rather than a single high-speed memory path.

Specification Differences

The specification table shows clear divergences across almost every measurable field. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 runs at a 2.00 GHz base clock and 5.00 GHz boost clock. The Intel Core i5-14400F runs at a 2.50 GHz base clock and 4.70 GHz boost clock. Intel has a higher base frequency by 500 MHz, but AMD has a higher boost frequency by 300 MHz.

Thermal design power differs substantially. The AMD chip carries a 28-watt TDP, which is a mobile-class power envelope. The Intel chip carries a 65-watt TDP, which is a mainstream desktop power envelope. This difference alone explains much of the performance gap in sustained workloads.

Socket compatibility separates the two completely. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, which is a mobile and embedded socket. The Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700, which is the standard socket for 12th, 13th, and 14th generation Core desktop processors. No motherboard supports both.

The AMD chip includes a Radeon 880M integrated GPU, making it a complete system-on-chip solution for compact embedded designs. The Intel chip has no integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU for any display output.

Release dates show the Intel chip launched on January 7, 2024, while the AMD chip launched on February 28, 2026, over two years later. Both carry active production status. The Intel chip has a recorded launch MSRP of $196, while the AMD chip has no launch MSRP recorded.

The Intel chip has a part number of SRN3RSRN47, while the AMD chip's part number is listed as unknown. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, meaning overclocking is not supported on either platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database contains no entries, and the wins counter shows zero for both processors. This means there are no direct comparisons recorded between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 and the Intel Core i5-14400F.

In Cinebench R20, it scores 9,090 multi-core and 1,283 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2,181 multi-core and 307 single-core. Geekbench scores are 11,268 multi-core and 2,058 single-core.

PassMark results for the Intel chip show strong integer math performance at 81,524 and floating point math at 61,319. Data compression scores reach 315,521, and data encryption scores reach 16,949. Extended instruction testing produces 19,937, while prime number finding is comparatively low at 86. Random string sorting scores 32,680, and physics testing scores 1,523. The multithread score is 25,470, and the single-thread score is 3,701.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has zero recorded benchmark scores across all test categories. Without any data points, the database cannot produce a meaningful comparison between the two processors. The Intel chip's performance can be contextualized against its nearest rivals, however. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32,233, which is 0.1 percent lower than the Intel chip. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32,226, which is 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32,354, which is 0.2 percent higher. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32,121, which is 0.5 percent lower.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400F wins in every measurable performance category because it has all of the recorded data. Its 83rd percentile ranking places it among the top processors in the database, and its average benchmark score of 32,279 confirms strong multi-threaded capability. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,645 indicates solid sustained rendering performance, and the Geekbench multi-core score of 11,268 supports general productivity workloads.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 wins in power efficiency and platform integration. Its 28-watt TDP is less than half of the Intel chip's 65-watt TDP, which makes it suitable for thermally constrained embedded systems. The integrated Radeon 880M graphics provides display output without a discrete GPU, which the Intel chip cannot offer at all. The AMD chip's 4 nm TSMC process also suggests a more modern manufacturing technology, though the database does not provide performance data to confirm practical benefits.

For desktop builders, the Intel chip is the only sensible option. It has a desktop socket, recorded performance data, and a launch MSRP of $196. The AMD chip targets a different market segment entirely, with a mobile socket and an embedded design focus. The database shows no scenario where the AMD chip competes directly with the Intel chip in desktop workloads, as their market segments, sockets, thermal envelopes, and feature sets place them in completely different product categories.

The Intel chip's nearest rivals are all mobile or older desktop processors, including the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS and Intel Core i7-12800H, both of which are mobile parts. This suggests the Core i5-14400F holds its own against efficient mobile chips while delivering desktop-class performance. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174, by contrast, has no rivals listed and no benchmark presence, leaving its performance characteristics entirely undocumented in the database.
