Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is the clear winner for compute-heavy, parallel workloads. Its 44.9% lead in integer math and 43.3% lead in extended instructions make it the stronger choice for applications that rely on arithmetic throughput and SIMD-style processing. The 32.3% advantage in data compression and 39.1% lead in random string sorting point to strengths in data manipulation and algorithmic workloads. The 32% edge in data encryption and 14.1% lead in floating point math further reinforce the AMD part's suitability for scientific computing, financial modeling, and server-side tasks that demand sustained multi-core output. The 21.8% multithread advantage and the 93rd percentile overall ranking confirm that the P185 is designed for heavy, sustained computational loads.

The Intel Core i7-14701E wins in latency-sensitive tasks. The 26.7% lead in the find prime numbers test indicates faster integer recursion and branch handling. The 26.1% advantage in physics suggests better performance in simulation engines that use single-threaded physics calculations. The 7.6% single-thread lead matters for legacy applications or workloads with limited parallelism, such as older games or single-threaded scripts. Intel's 83rd percentile ranking, while lower than AMD's 93rd, still places it well above the median CPU. For users running mixed workloads where single-thread responsiveness matters more than raw throughput, the Intel part has a measurable edge.

The benchmark data does not show a single universal winner. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 dominates in every throughput-oriented test, while the Intel Core i7-14701E holds advantages in the four tests that prioritize low-latency execution. The choice between them depends entirely on whether the target workload is parallel-heavy or single-thread-bound.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in core configuration, clock speeds, power envelope, socket, process node, cache, memory support, PCIe generation, integrated graphics, market segment, and release date. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 uses 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701E uses 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD base clock is 2.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel base clock is 2.60 GHz with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The AMD TDP is 28, whereas the Intel TDP is 65.

The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core for both. The L2 cache differs: AMD has 1 MB per core, while Intel has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache is also different, with AMD providing 16 MB and Intel providing 33 MB shared.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with dual-channel memory and a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe generation differs: AMD uses Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ, with the AMD part using Radeon 890M and the Intel part using UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor targets the mobile market, while the Intel processor targets the desktop market. The AMD release date is 2026-02-28, and the Intel release date is 2024-06-30. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation, based on the Zen 5 and Zen 5c architecture, with the codename Gorgon Point. The Intel Core i7-14701E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with the codename Raptor Lake-R and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. These are fundamentally different microarchitectures with different design goals. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, which is a smaller process node than Intel's 10 nm process. The die size reflects this, with AMD at 233 mm² and Intel at 257 mm².

The core counts and thread counts differ significantly. AMD provides 12 cores and 24 threads, which gives it a 50% core advantage and a 50% thread advantage over Intel's 8 cores and 16 threads. This core count difference is the primary driver of AMD's multithread benchmark lead. The L3 cache configuration also differs structurally: AMD uses a 16 MB L3 cache, while Intel uses a 33 MB shared L3 cache. Intel's larger L3 cache may contribute to its single-thread performance advantage, as more cache reduces memory latency. The L2 cache is larger on Intel at 2 MB per core versus 1 MB per core on AMD.

The PCIe generation differs, with Intel supporting Gen 5 and AMD supporting Gen 4. This affects potential bandwidth to discrete devices, though both provide 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics units are different: AMD uses Radeon 890M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The market segment differs, with the AMD part classified as mobile and the Intel part as desktop. This explains the TDP difference, with AMD at 28 and Intel at 65. The release dates are separated by roughly 20 months, with Intel launching in 2024 and AMD in 2026. The production status for both is active.
