Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14901E shows clear strengths in raw compute benchmarks based on recorded data. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25753 and singlecore score of 3635 are substantial figures. The PassMark multithread score of 30298 and single thread score of 4354 indicate strong performance across both parallel and single-threaded workloads. The high data compression score of 288777 and integer math score of 112736 point to capability in data-heavy and integer-heavy tasks. The 86th percentile ranking confirms that the Intel chip performs above the vast majority of CPUs in the database, sitting within 0.3% of its nearest rivals.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its performance wins cannot be quantified from measurements. However, its architecture and specifications suggest areas of advantage based on recorded data. The AMD chip has 10 cores and 20 threads versus 8 cores and 16 threads for Intel, giving it a higher thread count on paper. The AMD chip also has a much lower TDP of 28 watts versus 65 watts, which indicates a power efficiency advantage for mobile deployment. The 4 nm TSMC process node versus Intel's 10 nm node points to a denser, potentially more efficient design. The AMD chip supports LPDDR5X memory, which is a mobile-oriented memory type not present on the Intel chip.

The AMD chip's integrated Radeon 880M graphics may offer different graphics capabilities compared to Intel's UHD Graphics 770, though no benchmark scores exist to confirm a winner. The AMD chip's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is recorded, while Intel's is not, so no comparison can be drawn from the data.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear split between the two processors based on recorded information. The Intel Core i9-14901E delivers confirmed benchmark performance with an average score of 37911 and an 86th percentile ranking. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25753 and singlecore score of 3635 are strong absolute values. The nearest rivals are all within 0.3% in average score, meaning the Intel chip sits in a highly competitive performance tier.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance cannot be placed relative to the Intel chip or any other CPU. What the data does show is a different design philosophy. The AMD chip uses more cores and threads, a smaller process node, a lower TDP, and mobile-oriented features such as LPDDR5X support and a mobile socket. The Intel chip uses a higher boost clock, larger L2 and L3 caches, PCIe Gen 5, and a desktop socket.

For a user selecting between these two, the recorded data only supports a verdict for the Intel chip: it is a proven performer in the 86th percentile with benchmark scores across Cinebench and PassMark. The AMD chip's strengths are architectural and speculative from a performance standpoint, with no measurements to confirm or deny its capabilities. The Intel chip is the only one with verified compute results, and those results are competitive with its nearest rivals. The AMD chip offers a higher thread count and lower power envelope, which are meaningful for mobile or embedded use cases, but without benchmark data, the Intel Core i9-14901E is the only processor with demonstrated performance in this comparison.
