AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

The Verdict

The database records for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i and the Intel Core i9-14901E show two processors built for completely different roles. The AMD part is a 10-core, 20-thread mobile chip on a 4 nm process with a 28 W TDP, while the Intel part is an 8-core, 16-thread desktop chip on a 10 nm process with a 65 W TDP. The Intel Core i9-14901E has a full benchmark suite in the database, with an average score of 37911 and a percentile ranking of 86 among all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and a percentile of 50, meaning it sits at the median of all recorded CPUs purely by default.

Given the recorded data, the Intel Core i9-14901E is the only one of the two with measurable performance evidence. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at a score of 37904 with a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at 37943 with a -0.1% delta, the Intel Core 5 211E at 37829 with a 0.2% delta, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 37804 with a 0.3% delta. This places the i9-14901E in a tight pack where it trades places with those chips by fractions of a percent. For anyone choosing between these two specific parts, the data only supports the Intel chip for workloads where measured performance matters, since the AMD part lacks any benchmark entries.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is a mobile part with a 28 W TDP, which indicates a low-power design suited for embedded or portable systems, but the database offers no scores to quantify its capability. The Intel Core i9-14901E is a desktop part with a 65 W TDP and a full set of Cinebench and PassMark results, making it the defensible pick for applications that require proven throughput. The verdict from the recorded data is simple: choose the Intel Core i9-14901E if you need documented performance, and treat the AMD part as an unverified option until benchmark data appears.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is fabricated by TSMC on a 4 nm process with a die size of 233 mm².

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no individual benchmark scores at all. The Intel Core i9-14901E, however, has a complete set of recorded results. Its Cinebench R15 multicore score is 2595, and its single-core score is 366. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10816 multicore and 1526 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 25753 multicore and 3635 single-core.

PassMark results for the Intel chip are extensive. It scores 288777 in data compression, 18571 in data encryption, 17249 in extended instructions, 189 in find prime numbers, 81089 in floating point math, 112736 in integer math, 30298 in multithread, 3041 in physics, 39138 in random string sorting, and 4354 in single-thread (recorded twice as both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread).

The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 37911, and it sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are within 0.3% of its average score: the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37904 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at 37943 (-0.1% delta), the Intel Core 5 211E at 37829 (0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 37804 (0.3% delta). The i9-14901E effectively trades the lead with these chips, beating the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Core 5 211E by 0% and 0.2% respectively, while trailing the Ryzen 7 9700X by 0.1% and the P132 by 0.3%.

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i has no recorded scores, wins and losses cannot be assigned. The Intel chip is the only part with measurable data, so it takes every available benchmark category by default.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14901E wins every category where data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25753 and single-core score of 3635 indicate strong performance in both threaded and lightly threaded workloads. Its PassMark integer math score of 112736 and floating point math score of 81089 show solid arithmetic throughput. Data compression at 288777 and encryption at 18571 indicate capable handling of data-intensive tasks. The chip's 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that it outperforms the large majority of processors in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i wins no recorded benchmark categories because no scores exist. Its advantages must be inferred from specifications rather than measurements. It has more cores and threads (10 versus 8, 20 versus 16), which could benefit highly parallel workloads if the software scales well. Its 28 W TDP is less than half of the Intel chip's 65 W TDP, suggesting lower power draw and heat output, which matters for compact or embedded systems. Its 4 nm TSMC process node is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node, and its smaller die size of 233 mm² versus 257 mm² indicates a denser design. The AMD chip also supports LPDDR5X memory, which the Intel chip does not, and it has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, a figure the Intel chip lacks.

For a use-case split, the Intel Core i9-14901E is the choice for desktop systems where measured performance is the priority, given its complete benchmark record and 86th percentile standing. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174i is positioned for mobile and embedded applications where lower power consumption, a more modern process node, and a higher core count matter more than recorded benchmark scores. The data does not support a performance comparison between them, so any selection must rely on the Intel chip's proven results versus the AMD chip's unverified specifications.
