AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall margin for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185. Across the eleven shared PassMark workloads, the AMD part wins nine, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE takes two. The average benchmark score difference is substantial: the AMD processor records 62839 points against 26013 for the Intel chip, a gap that places the AMD part at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs versus the 78th percentile for Intel.

The largest single victory for the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 comes in extended instructions, where it scores 26544 against 14354, a 84.9% advantage. Integer math shows a similar pattern, with the AMD part scoring 117832 versus 65792, a 79.1% lead. Random string sorting favors AMD by 78.2%, with scores of 40557 and 22760 respectively. Data compression delivers a 69.8% win for AMD (374429 versus 220520), and data encryption follows at 67.6% (19612 versus 11699). The floating point math test gives AMD a 40.6% edge, 70587 to 50219. In the multithreaded PassMark test, AMD scores 31817 against 20042, a 58.8% advantage. Single-thread performance also goes to AMD: 3977 versus 2637, a 50.8% lead.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE claims its first win in the find prime numbers test, scoring 143 against 129, a 9.8% advantage for Intel. The physics test also goes to Intel, with 1860 versus 1772, a 4.7% margin. These two wins are narrow compared to the scale of AMD's victories, and they represent the only two workloads in the shared suite where the Intel part comes out ahead.

Context from the nearest rivals reinforces the positioning. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 sits within 0.5% of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 PRO 465 (62498) and 0.2% above the Intel Core Ultra 7 255HX (62738). It trails the Intel Core i7-13790F by 0.4% (63080) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265HX by 0.5% (63173). The Intel Core i7-14701TE, by contrast, lands near lower-tier parts: it is 0.1% above the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (25981), 0.5% above the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (25880), and 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS (26106) and 0.7% below the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26187). These deltas show the AMD part competing in a higher performance class altogether.

Looking at the two wins for Intel, the physics result is interesting because the Intel chip also has a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 5.10 GHz) and a higher base clock (2.10 GHz versus 2.00 GHz). The prime number result may reflect the different core organization, since the Intel part uses 8 cores and 16 threads while the AMD part uses 12 cores and 24 threads. The AMD processor's larger thread count does not help in that particular workload, but it dominates in most throughput-oriented tests.

The Verdict

The benchmark data indicates that the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 is the stronger processor for the majority of compute-heavy tasks. Its 9 wins out of 11 head-to-head tests, combined with an average benchmark score more than double that of the Intel chip (62839 versus 26013), place it in a different performance tier. The 93rd percentile ranking versus the 78th percentile ranking confirms this separation.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE should be selected only in scenarios where its specific strengths matter. It wins the physics test and the find prime numbers test, both by single-digit percentage margins. For workloads that resemble those two tests, the Intel part is competitive. However, the data does not show any workload where Intel wins by a large margin, whereas AMD wins by 40% to 85% in six separate tests.

The AMD part also carries a much lower thermal design power, 28 watts versus 45 watts for Intel. That difference matters for system design, though the database does not include thermal performance measurements. The AMD processor uses a smaller process node (4 nm from TSMC) compared to Intel's 10 nm node from its own foundry, which aligns with the efficiency differential implied by the TDP figures.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185 dominates in data-heavy and parallel workloads. Data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, integer math, floating point math, multithreaded execution, random string sorting, and single-thread execution all go to AMD. The margins range from 40.6% to 84.9%, which means the AMD part is not merely ahead but often dramatically ahead in these categories. For database operations, encryption tasks, scientific calculations, and general productivity, the recorded scores favor AMD clearly.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in two narrow categories. The find prime numbers test (143 versus 129) and the physics test (1860 versus 1772) both favor Intel. These results suggest that certain algorithmic patterns, possibly those with lower thread scaling or specific instruction sequences, work better on the Intel architecture. The Intel chip also has a larger shared L3 cache (33 MB versus 16 MB) and a higher per-core L2 cache (2 MB per core versus 1 MB per core), which may contribute to these specific wins.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the AMD part still holds a 50.8% advantage (3977 versus 2637), so the Intel wins do not translate into a general single-thread superiority. The Intel advantages are isolated to the two tests where it won.
