AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core i5-14500HX Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data positions these two mobile processors very differently. The Intel Core i5-14500HX holds the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part has a recorded average benchmark score of 35,094, placing it in the upper tier of mobile processors. The AMD part has no recorded benchmark entries in the database, so its performance profile cannot be quantified from direct measurements. The Intel Core i5-14500HX is the only one of the two with verifiable performance data, and that data shows a strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performer for mobile workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i, with its 50th percentile ranking, sits at the midpoint of all CPUs, indicating a moderate performance class. The Intel processor clearly delivers higher measured performance across every benchmark category where data exists. Users seeking confirmed high-end mobile compute should select the Intel Core i5-14500HX based on the recorded scores. The AMD part lacks any benchmark records, making it an unverified option in this database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses a 4 nm process node from TSMC, while the Intel Core i5-14500HX uses a 10 nm process from Intel. The AMD chip has a die size of 233 mm², whereas the Intel chip measures 257 mm². The AMD processor is codenamed Gorgon Point and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel processor uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-HX refresh, part of the Core 14th Gen series.

Core configurations differ substantially. The AMD part has 10 cores and 20 threads, while the Intel part has 14 cores and 20 threads. Both support 20 threads, but Intel achieves this with four additional physical cores. Base clocks differ as well: the AMD chip runs at 2.00 GHz, the Intel chip at 2.60 GHz. Boost clocks are close, with AMD at 5.00 GHz and Intel at 4.90 GHz. The Intel chip carries a 55 W TDP, while the AMD chip is rated at 28 W, a considerable power envelope difference that likely influences sustained performance and thermal behavior.

Cache hierarchies differ in size and organization. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also has 80 KB of L1 per core but doubles L2 to 2 MB per core and provides 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-14500HX provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i9-12900HX has an average score of 35,003, a delta of 0.3% relative to the i5-14500HX. The Intel Core i7-13800H averages 34,988, also 0.3% behind. The Intel Core 7 253PTE averages 34,962, 0.4% behind. The Intel Core i7-12700K averages 35,287, which is 0.5% ahead of the i5-14500HX. These margins are narrow, all within a half percent, indicating the i5-14500HX performs in the same class as several strong desktop and mobile processors from prior generations.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no benchmark entries and no nearest rival data. Its 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs in the database, but no score confirms its absolute performance. The absence of recorded measurements means the database cannot verify any performance claims for the AMD part. The Intel part, by contrast, has 19 recorded benchmark results spanning rendering, general compute, and specialized math workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500HX wins in every category where performance data exists. Its 14-core configuration with 20 threads, combined with a 2 MB per-core L2 cache and 24 MB shared L3, gives it a structural advantage in heavily threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24,234 and PassMark multithread score of 28,508 confirm strong parallel compute capability. The unlocked multiplier on the Intel part allows tuning for users who require additional performance beyond stock settings. The Intel chip also supports PCIe Gen 5, which provides newer connectivity for storage and graphics expansion. Its 4.90 GHz boost clock supports responsive single-threaded performance, evidenced by the Geekbench single-core score of 2,129 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,421.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins in efficiency-oriented attributes based on its specifications. The 28 W TDP is dramatically lower than Intel's 55 W TDP, indicating lower power draw and likely lower heat output in sustained operation. The 4 nm TSMC process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node, which typically correlates with improved power efficiency per transistor. The AMD chip also records a memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s with LPDDR5X support, a specification the Intel database entry does not list. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics may offer different graphics capabilities than Intel's UHD Graphics 770, though no benchmark data confirms either. The AMD part's 5.00 GHz boost clock is nominally higher than Intel's 4.90 GHz.

The production status for both parts is Active, meaning both remain available in the market. The Intel Core i5-14500HX sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i sits at the 50th percentile. For workloads where measured performance matters, the Intel processor is the clear choice from the data. For applications prioritizing lower power draw and smaller process geometry, the AMD processor has the specification-level advantage. The Intel part's nearest rivals all fall within 0.5% of its average score, confirming it competes at a high level against established processors like the Core i9-12900HX and Core i7-12700K. The AMD part has no comparable data to establish its competitive position beyond the 50th percentile ranking.
