Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is built on a fundamentally different architecture than the Intel Core i5-14400. The AMD part uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. This hybrid core arrangement is designed for efficiency, with the 4 nm TSMC process node enabling a compact 233 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14400, in contrast, uses the Raptor Lake architecture from the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen family built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its die size is slightly smaller at 215 mm², but the process node is several generations behind.

Cache hierarchies differ between the two designs. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache per core is 1 MB on the AMD chip versus 1.25 MB on the Intel chip. The L3 cache structure is notably different: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has 16 MB of L3, while the Intel Core i5-14400 has 20 MB of shared L3. This larger Intel L3 pool can help with data-heavy workloads, though the AMD chip's newer core architecture may compensate through other means.

Memory support is another key divergence. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with a rated memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which gives system builders flexibility with older memory, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for the Intel part. Both are dual-channel designs. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, doubling the per-lane bandwidth potential for storage and graphics.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Radeon 880M, while the Intel Core i5-14400 uses UHD Graphics 730. The Radeon 880M is a more capable integrated solution for light gaming and media tasks, though the database does not provide specific graphics benchmarks for either. The AMD part is socketed in AMD Socket FP8, a mobile platform, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 for desktops.

The production status for both is active, but their release timing is separated by roughly two years. The Intel Core i5-14400 launched on 2024-01-07, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i launched on 2026-02-28. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, meaning overclocking is not officially supported on either.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14400 across multiple suites, but records no benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i. This absence of AMD data means the comparison relies entirely on the Intel chip's measured performance and its position among rivals. The Intel Core i5-14400 achieves an average benchmark score of 32115, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-12800H with an average score of 32121, the Intel Core i7-13705H at 32076, the Intel Core i5-14450HX at 32040, and the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226. The delta percentages against these rivals are minimal: 0% versus the i7-12800H, 0.1% behind the i7-13705H, 0.2% behind the i5-14450HX, and 0.3% ahead of the i9-11900.

Looking at the Intel part's specific Cinebench results, the R15 multicore score is 2148 and the single-core score is 303. In R20, the multicore score jumps to 8952 with a single-core score of 1263. The R23 results show a multicore score of 21315 and a single-core score of 3009. These scores represent a desktop-class CPU that can handle heavy multithreaded rendering tasks with strong single-thread performance for everyday responsiveness.

Geekbench results for the Intel chip show a multicore score of 9807 and a single-core score of 1905. PassMark tests reveal strengths in specific areas: integer math scores 82017, floating point math scores 61549, and extended instructions score 19816. Data compression reaches 314995, while data encryption hits 16731. Random string sorting scores 32346, and the multithread score is 25080. The find prime numbers test returns a low score of 80, which indicates a relative weakness in that particular workload. Single-thread performance in PassMark is 3741, and physics scores 1396.

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries, the database cannot show direct head-to-head wins for either processor. The wins count stands at 0 for both items. What the data does show is that the Intel Core i5-14400 sits in a competitive cluster with its nearest rivals, all within 0.3% of each other. The AMD part's percentile ranking of 50 suggests it is expected to perform at the median level, but without recorded measurements, this remains an unverified projection.

The lack of AMD benchmark data is itself a finding. The Intel part has 19 recorded benchmark scores across seven different tests, while the AMD part has none. This means any performance comparison must be framed as an expectation based on architecture and specifications rather than measured outcomes.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field in the database. Core count is identical at 10, but thread count differs: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has 20 threads versus the Intel Core i5-14400's 16 threads. Base clocks differ by 0.50 GHz, with the Intel chip running at 2.50 GHz and the AMD chip at 2.00 GHz. Boost clocks differ by 0.30 GHz, with the AMD chip reaching 5.00 GHz and the Intel chip reaching 4.70 GHz.

TDP is a major divergence: the AMD processor is rated at 28 watts, while the Intel processor is rated at 65 watts. This 37-watt difference reflects the mobile versus desktop design targets. Sockets are incompatible, with the AMD part using AMD Socket FP8 and the Intel part using Intel Socket 1700. Process nodes differ significantly: 4 nm TSMC for AMD versus 10 nm Intel for the Intel chip. Die sizes are close, at 233 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel.

Cache configurations show differences in L2 and L3. L1 is identical at 80 KB per core. L2 is 1 MB per core on the AMD chip and 1.25 MB per core on the Intel chip.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear split: the Intel Core i5-14400 is a measured performer with a 82nd percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 32115, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. For users who require verified performance data, the Intel chip is the only option with actual numbers in the database.

The Intel part's position among its nearest rivals is tight but solid. It trails the Intel Core i7-12800H by 0%, the Intel Core i7-13705H by 0.1%, and the Intel Core i5-14450HX by 0.2%, while leading the Intel Core i9-11900 by 0.3%. This clustering suggests the Core i5-14400 delivers performance consistent with higher-tier mobile and older desktop parts, making it a reliable choice for desktop workloads where measured results matter.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, by contrast, offers compelling specifications on paper. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock, 20 threads, and 28 watt TDP indicate efficiency and strong multithreading potential. The 4 nm process node and LPDDR5X support suggest modern design. However, the absence of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm whether these specifications translate into competitive performance. The 50th percentile ranking is a projection, not a measurement.

For users who need a desktop processor with proven scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark, the Intel Core i5-14400 is the data-backed pick. For users who prioritize low power consumption, mobile deployment, and the latest process technology, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i offers architectural advantages, but its performance remains unverified. The verdict from the database is straightforward: choose Intel for confirmed performance, choose AMD for efficiency and modern design, with the caveat that AMD's numbers are not yet recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400 wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21315 and single-core score of 3009 demonstrate strength in rendering and general productivity. Geekbench scores of 9807 multicore and 1905 single-core reinforce this pattern. PassMark results show particular proficiency in integer math at 82017, floating point math at 61549, and data compression at 314995. The multithread score of 25080 indicates solid parallel processing capability. The 82nd percentile ranking places it above most CPUs in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins on specification-based advantages. Its 20 threads versus 16 provide a 25% thread count advantage for heavily threaded workloads. The 5.00 GHz boost clock is higher than the Intel chip's 4.70 GHz, suggesting an edge in single-threaded bursts. The 28 watt TDP versus 65 watts makes it the efficiency leader, consuming less power for what should be comparable work. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is a recorded figure that the Intel part lacks, indicating a potential advantage in memory-intensive applications. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics are more capable than the UHD Graphics 730, though no benchmark scores exist to quantify the gap.

For use cases, the Intel Core i5-14400 fits desktop systems where measured performance is available and the 65 watt TDP is acceptable. Its 20 MB of L3 cache and Gen 5 PCIe support make it suitable for gaming rigs and workstation builds. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i fits mobile and embedded systems where the 28 watt TDP, LPDDR5X memory support, and 4 nm process deliver efficiency. Its Gen 4 PCIe is adequate for most mobile peripherals. The database shows a clear division: Intel wins on verified performance, AMD wins on power efficiency and thread count, with the caveat that AMD's performance claims remain unmeasured.
