AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides a complete benchmark profile only for the Intel Core i5-14401E, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark scores listed in the database. This asymmetry shapes the entire comparison. The Intel part's Cinebench results establish a clear performance baseline, but without corresponding AMD scores, direct head-to-head wins cannot be quantified.

The Intel Core i5-14401E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,161 points and a single-core score of 2,564 points. In Cinebench R20, it records 7,627 multi-core and 1,076 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1,830 multi-core and 258 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 60th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 5,253.

The nearest rivals for the Intel part reveal its competitive positioning. The Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 averages 5,259 points, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the i5-14401E. The Intel Core i7-11700B scores 5,241, which is 0.2 percent behind. The Intel Core i9-10850K also averages 5,240, another 0.2 percent deficit. The Intel Core i5-13400T trails at 5,210, or 0.8 percent lower. These tiny margins indicate the i5-14401E sits in a tightly packed performance cluster where less than one percentage point separates it from four established desktop and mobile processors.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i shows an average benchmark score of zero and holds the 50th percentile, meaning it has no recorded measurements to compare. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and both win counters read zero. The database therefore offers no empirical evidence of the AMD part's Cinebench behavior, leaving its performance characteristics inferable only from its architectural specifications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in their design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c core architecture. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

The AMD part integrates 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part provides 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives the AMD processor a 4-core and 8-thread advantage, which typically translates to superior multi-threaded throughput in heavily parallel workloads. The AMD chip's base clock runs at 2.00 GHz with a boost clock reaching 5.00 GHz. The Intel chip starts at a higher 2.50 GHz base but boosts to a lower 4.70 GHz maximum. The higher boost ceiling on the AMD side suggests a potential single-thread advantage, though the base clock deficit indicates different power management strategies.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. Both processors allocate 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part provides 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel part offers 1.25 MB per core, giving Intel a 25 percent larger per-core L2 allocation. At the L3 level, the AMD chip has 16 MB total, whereas the Intel chip has 20 MB shared. The Intel processor therefore holds a 4 MB L3 advantage, which can benefit workloads with large working sets that exceed the AMD cache capacity.

Memory support shows another clear split. The AMD chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part specifies a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part lists no bandwidth figure in the database. Both use dual-channel memory buses. ECC memory support is present in both processors, a feature relevant for embedded and workstation reliability.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation and lane count. The AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe generation on the Intel side offers double the theoretical bandwidth per lane, which matters for high-throughput storage and accelerators.

Integrated graphics present another contrast. The AMD chip pairs with Radeon 880M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 730. The Radeon 880M is positioned as a more capable integrated GPU for embedded AI workloads, whereas UHD Graphics 730 serves basic display output.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the available data, the Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every benchmark category where measurements exist, but this is a consequence of missing AMD data rather than proven superiority. The Intel part's Cinebench scores show strong multi-core scaling: the R23 multi-core score of 18,161 is roughly 2.4 times its single-core score of 2,564, indicating efficient utilization of its 6 cores and 12 threads.

The AMD processor's architectural advantages suggest where it would likely excel if benchmark data existed. Its 10 cores and 20 threads provide 66 percent more cores and 66 percent more threads than the Intel part. For heavily threaded workloads such as video rendering, scientific computing, or virtualization, the AMD chip's additional parallelism should deliver higher throughput, though the database does not confirm this empirically.

The Intel processor's higher base clock of 2.50 GHz versus 2.00 GHz gives it a latency advantage in lightly threaded tasks that cannot leverage turbo boost effectively. Its larger L3 cache of 20 MB versus 16 MB also benefits workloads with moderate memory footprints that fit within the cache hierarchy.

The AMD chip's 5.00 GHz boost clock, 0.30 GHz higher than Intel's 4.70 GHz, positions it favorably for bursty single-threaded workloads that reach maximum turbo. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics likely provides superior GPU compute for embedded AI inference compared to UHD Graphics 730, though no benchmark scores confirm this.

The Intel part's PCIe Gen 5 support gives it a bandwidth advantage for external devices. The AMD part's LPDDR5X support enables lower power memory configurations, aligning with its 28 W TDP compared to Intel's 65 W TDP.

The Verdict

The database presents an incomplete comparison. The Intel Core i5-14401E has six benchmark scores across three Cinebench versions, placing it at the 60th percentile with an average score of 5,253. Its nearest rivals all fall within one percentage point, confirming it as a solid mid-range performer in the current database population.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark data, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of zero. Its architectural specifications suggest capabilities that the Intel part cannot match: 10 cores versus 6, a 5.00 GHz boost versus 4.70 GHz, a 4 nm process versus 10 nm, and a substantially lower 28 W TDP versus 65 W. The embedded AI positioning implies the Radeon 880M graphics and Zen 5 cores target machine learning inference at the edge, a use case the Intel desktop chip does not address with equal focus.

For users selecting between these two based strictly on recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14401E is the only option with verified performance measurements. Its Cinebench results demonstrate strong multi-threaded capability for a 6-core part, and its PCIe Gen 5 support future-proofs external connectivity. The AMD part remains an unproven quantity in the database, though its specification sheet points toward higher core counts, lower power consumption, and newer process technology. The choice hinges on whether the user prioritizes verified desktop performance or the embedded AI feature set and efficiency profile that the AMD architecture advertises.
