AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 vs Intel Core i7-14650HX Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the Intel Core i7-14650HX as the dominant processor in this comparison across every benchmark category where scores exist. The Intel part holds an 88th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 sits at the 50th percentile. The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark scores or rival comparisons in the database, meaning all quantitative performance analysis must be drawn from the Intel side of the dataset. The Intel Core i7-14650HX delivers 16 cores and 24 threads against the AMD part's 10 cores and 20 threads, and it posts an average benchmark score of 41,576. The AMD processor's average benchmark score is recorded as zero, which indicates no completed measurements are available for it. For users selecting based on measured performance, the Intel Core i7-14650HX is the only option with validated results. The AMD part may appeal to those prioritizing a lower 28 W TDP and integrated Radeon 880M graphics, but the database contains no performance data to support a recommendation on speed.

The absence of AMD benchmark data prevents any direct score comparisons between the two processors. The only quantitative contrast available is structural: the Intel part offers 60% more cores, 20% more threads, a 0.20 GHz higher base clock, a 0.20 GHz higher boost clock, 14 MB more L3 cache, and double the L2 cache per core. The AMD part counters with a lower 28 W TDP, a smaller 233 mm² die, a more advanced 4 nm process, and faster integrated graphics in the Radeon 880M. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the AMD part at 89.6 GB/s, which provides one measurable advantage where the Intel part has no recorded figure. Without benchmark results for the AMD processor, the performance delta between the two cannot be quantified from the database. The Intel Core i7-14650HX remains the sole processor in this comparison with validated application scores.
