Its 12 cores and 24 threads outperform the Intel Core i5-14400T's 10 cores and 16 threads across all PassMark tests. The P185 achieves an average benchmark score of 62839, which is 2.3 times higher than the Intel part's 27166. The AMD chip also holds a 93rd percentile ranking versus the Intel chip's 79th percentile, placing it in a higher overall performance tier.

For users prioritizing raw compute performance, the P185 is the clear selection. The margin is not narrow: the AMD chip leads by 58.9% in data compression, 79.4% in integer math, and 82.3% in extended instructions. The i5-14400T, however, targets a different use case. It is a desktop Raptor Lake Refresh part with a 35 TDP, while the P185 is a mobile Gorgon Point processor with a 28 TDP. The Intel chip's lower core count and clock speeds make it better suited for basic desktop tasks where the P185's performance headroom is unnecessary.

Architecture Differences

The P185 uses AMD's Gorgon Point codename with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c generation label, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The i5-14400T uses Intel's Raptor Lake-R codename with a Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The P185's die size is 233 mm², while the Intel chip measures 215 mm², though both share an 80 KB L1 cache per core.

Cache configurations differ notably. The P185 provides 1 MB L2 per core and 16 MB L3 total. The i5-14400T provides 1.25 MB L2 per core and 20 MB shared L3. This gives the Intel chip more total L3 cache despite having fewer cores. The P185 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database.

The P185 integrates a Radeon 890M GPU, while the i5-14400T includes UHD Graphics 730. Both support ECC memory. The P185 uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The P185 uses AMD Socket FP8 and is a mobile-market part. The i5-14400T uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets desktop systems. The P185's boost clock reaches 5.10 GHz versus 4.50 GHz for the Intel chip, and its base clock is 2.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD P185 wins every recorded comparison, but the margins vary by workload type. The largest gap appears in extended instructions, where the AMD chip scores 26544 against 14562 for the Intel chip, a delta of 82.3%. This suggests a significant advantage in workloads using specialized instruction sets. Integer math follows closely: 117832 versus 65667, a 79.4% lead. Prime number finding shows 129 versus 73, a 76.7% advantage, indicating strong performance in scalar integer operations.

Data compression shows 374429 for the AMD chip versus 235636 for the Intel chip, a 58.9% delta. Random string sorting yields 40557 versus 25181, a 61.1% advantage. Multi-thread performance delivers 31817 versus 20223, a 57.3% lead, reflecting the core and thread count differences. Data encryption results show 19612 versus 13244, a 48.1% gap. Floating point math scores 70587 versus 49139, a 43.6% delta. Physics tests show 1772 versus 1244, a 42.4% advantage.

The narrowest margin is single-thread performance: 3977 versus 3512, a 13.2% lead for the AMD chip. This is still a meaningful difference, indicating the P185's Zen 5 cores have higher per-thread throughput than the Raptor Lake cores at their respective clock speeds. The AMD chip's higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.50 GHz contributes to this result. Across all 11 tests, the AMD chip wins by an average delta that exceeds 50% in most categories, confirming a consistent architectural advantage rather than a workload-specific anomaly.

Specification Differences

The two processors diverge on nearly every specification field. The P185 has 12 cores and 24 threads; the i5-14400T has 10 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 2.00 GHz versus 1.50 GHz, and boost clocks are 5.10 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. TDP ratings show 28 for the AMD chip and 35 for the Intel chip, meaning the higher-performing AMD part also consumes less power in the recorded specification.

The Intel Core i5-14400T, while losing all head-to-head tests, still offers specific characteristics from the data. Its 20 MB shared L3 cache is larger than the AMD chip's 16 MB, which can benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes provides a newer I/O interface than the AMD chip's PCIe Gen 4. The Intel chip also supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, giving it broader compatibility with existing desktop platforms. Its lower core count and thread count mean it consumes less computational resources, and its 35 TDP is only slightly higher than the AMD chip's 28 TDP despite the performance gap.

The P185's mobile segment designation and 28 TDP make it suitable for embedded or mobile systems needing high throughput in a power-constrained envelope. The i5-14400T's desktop segment and Socket 1700 compatibility target traditional desktop builds. The AMD chip's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is a recorded advantage, while the Intel chip's memory bandwidth is not recorded. For users with workloads that stress single-thread performance, the P185 still leads by 13.2%, showing it is not merely a multi-core specialist. The data supports the P185 as the dominant processor in this comparison, with the i5-14400T serving as a capable desktop alternative with a lower performance ceiling and an established launch MSRP of $221.
