AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and Intel Core i5-14501E occupy very different positions in the database. The AMD processor has a recorded average benchmark score of 62,839 and sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part shows a 50th percentile placement with no recorded benchmark scores in the current dataset. This makes direct comparison incomplete, but the available data still reveals a clear performance hierarchy.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 wins across every benchmark category where it has recorded scores. Its strongest showing is in PassMark data compression, where it scores 374,429, a figure that dwarfs its other results. The multithread score of 31,817 and integer math score of 117,832 indicate strong parallel throughput. Single-thread performance is recorded at 3,977, which places it comfortably ahead of most desktop processors in the database. Floating point math scores 70,587, extended instructions score 26,544, and random string sorting scores 40,557. The physics test records 1,772, and find prime numbers scores 129.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has zero recorded benchmarks in this dataset, so no wins can be assigned to it. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, which reflects missing data rather than actual performance. The database does not currently contain any head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors, and the wins counter shows 0 for both sides. What can be said is that the AMD part demonstrates measurable performance across eleven distinct PassMark tests, while the Intel part has no comparable measurements in the database.

The use-case split therefore favors the AMD processor in every measurable category. Workloads involving data compression, encryption, extended instruction sets, prime number searching, floating point math, integer math, multithreaded tasks, physics simulation, and random string sorting all fall to the AMD side based on recorded data. The Intel processor cannot claim any benchmark victory because no scores exist for it. The database indicates the AMD part is a mobile segment processor with a 28 TDP, while the Intel part is a desktop segment processor with a 65 TDP, but the benchmark gap is substantial where data exists.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation based on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 215 mm². The process node gap is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which typically indicates a density and efficiency advantage for the AMD design.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel processor has 6 cores and 12 threads. This is a 2x difference in both core and thread counts. The AMD part combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, suggesting a hybrid of high-performance and high-efficiency cores, though the database does not specify the exact distribution. The Intel part uses a homogeneous Raptor Lake design with 6 cores, all presumably performance cores given the absence of a hybrid core description.

Cache configurations also diverge. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. For L3 cache, the AMD processor has 16 MB, while the Intel processor has 24 MB shared. The Intel part therefore has a larger total cache pool despite fewer cores, which could benefit workloads with large working sets. The AMD part has no v-cache 3D option listed, and neither processor shows a total L3 field.

Clock speeds show the Intel processor with a higher base clock of 3.30 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for the AMD part. Boost clocks are nearly identical: 5.20 GHz for Intel and 5.10 GHz for AMD. The Intel part achieves its boost with a 65 TDP, while the AMD part operates at 28 TDP, a 37-watt difference that reflects the process node advantage and mobile design intent of the AMD processor.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory but has no recorded bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generations differ: the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation, which matters for storage and expansion bandwidth.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD processor uses a Radeon 890M, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not provide comparative graphics benchmarks, so no performance assessment is possible from this data alone. Production status is Active for both processors, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 and the Intel Core i5-14501E. The head-to-head benchmarks array is empty, and the wins counters show 0 for both processors. The Intel part has no benchmark scores at all in its record. This means a direct performance comparison must rely on the AMD processor's absolute scores and its position relative to other CPUs in the database, rather than a direct matchup.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 has eleven recorded PassMark scores. Its average benchmark score of 62,839 places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database provide useful context. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX has an average score of 62,738, which is 0.2% lower than the AMD part. The Intel Core i7-13790F scores 63,080, which is 0.4% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX scores 63,173, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 scores 62,498, which is 0.5% lower. These deltas are small, indicating the AMD processor performs in a tight band around these competitors.

The single-thread score of 3,977 for the AMD part is notable because it exceeds what the database typically shows for processors in its percentile range. The multithread score of 31,817 and integer math score of 117,832 suggest strong scaling across the 12 cores and 24 threads. The data compression score of 374,429 is exceptionally high, likely reflecting the architecture's efficiency at that specific workload. The encryption score of 19,612, extended instructions score of 26,544, and floating point math score of 70,587 round out the compute profile.

For the Intel Core i5-14501E, the absence of benchmark data means no exact numbers can be cited for comparison. The 50th percentile placement is based on the database's overall scoring model, but the average benchmark score of 0 indicates the processor has not been measured. The 6 cores and 12 threads at a 5.20 GHz boost clock suggest it should handle single-threaded and moderately threaded workloads, but the database provides no confirmation. The 24 MB of L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core could benefit cache-sensitive applications, but again, no recorded scores exist.

The recorded data shows the AMD processor outperforms its direct named rivals by margins between -0.5% and +0.5%, which is a narrow band. The Intel part cannot be placed relative to the AMD part because it has no measurements. The database's percentile fields indicate the AMD processor ranks in the top 7% of all CPUs, while the Intel processor sits exactly at the median. These percentile values come from the database directly and are not derived from the missing benchmark data.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but incomplete picture. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is a 12-core, 24-thread processor on a 4 nm process with a 28 TDP, a 93rd percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of 62,839. The Intel Core i5-14501E is a 6-core, 12-thread processor on a 10 nm process with a 65 TDP, a 50th percentile ranking, and no recorded benchmark scores. For any workload measured in the database, the AMD processor has a recorded score, and the Intel processor does not.

The AMD processor should be selected when the workload demands high multithreaded throughput, data compression, encryption, or extended instruction performance, based on its recorded scores. Its 12 cores and 24 threads provide double the parallelism of the Intel part. The 4 nm process and 28 TDP indicate it delivers this performance in a mobile segment package with lower power draw. The 93rd percentile placement confirms it sits among top-performing CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501E should be selected when the workload benefits from higher base clock, larger L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5, or DDR4 memory support. Its 3.30 GHz base clock and 5.20 GHz boost clock are higher than the AMD part's 2.00 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost. The 24 MB shared L3 cache is 8 MB larger than the AMD part's 16 MB. PCIe Gen 5 provides a newer interconnect standard. DDR4 support offers memory flexibility that the AMD part lacks. However, no benchmark data exists to quantify these advantages.

The database does not support a recommendation for the Intel processor in any measured performance category. The 50th percentile ranking places it at the median of all CPUs, while the AMD processor ranks in the 93rd percentile. The absence of head-to-head results and Intel benchmark scores means the performance gap cannot be precisely quantified, but the available data consistently favors the AMD processor. Users who prioritize measured performance across the recorded PassMark tests should select the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185. Users who require specific Intel platform features such as PCIe Gen 5, DDR4 support, or a desktop socket should consider the Intel Core i5-14501E based on those platform attributes rather than recorded performance.
