AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i and Intel Core i5-14401E target fundamentally different segments, and the recorded data reflects that split. The AMD part is a 12-core, 24-thread mobile processor built on a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel part is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop chip on Intel’s 10 nm node. The benchmark records in the database show the Intel Core i5-14401E with a full set of Cinebench scores, whereas the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no recorded benchmark entries, meaning its wins are defined by architectural and feature advantages rather than measured performance results.

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins on raw single-thread and multi-thread workload scores as recorded in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 and single-core score of 2564 place it in the 60th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 5253. The nearest rivals list shows it within 0.8% of the Intel Core i5-13400T, 0.2% of the Intel Core i9-10850K, and 0.2% of the Intel Core i7-11700B, indicating a tightly clustered performance band. The AMD part, by contrast, has a 50th percentile ranking and a zero average benchmark score, indicating no direct measured performance data exists in the database.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins on integration and platform capability. It uses AMD Socket FP8, a mobile socket, and integrates a Radeon 890M graphics solution, which is a significant step above the Intel UHD Graphics 730 found in the Core i5-14401E. The AMD part also supports LPDDR5X memory alongside DDR5, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip carries a 28 watt TDP, which is less than half of the Intel part’s 65 watt TDP, indicating a power efficiency advantage for mobile or embedded deployments. The AMD processor also uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, whereas the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel, suggesting a density and efficiency lead for the AMD design.

In terms of cache structure, the AMD part provides 80 KB L1 per core and 1 MB L2 per core, with 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB L1 per core and 1.25 MB L2 per core, with 20 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has a larger L3 cache, which can benefit certain workload patterns, but the AMD part’s higher core count and thread count provide a theoretical throughput advantage in heavily threaded tasks, even without recorded benchmark scores.

Architecture Differences

The architecture split is significant. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. This is a 4 nm TSMC design with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. It is built on Intel’s 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm².

The AMD part has 12 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The AMD part’s boost clock is higher by 0.40 GHz, but the Intel part’s base clock is higher by 0.50 GHz. The AMD part’s higher core and thread count, combined with the newer Zen 5 architecture, suggests a design aimed at parallel workloads, while the Intel part’s higher base clock and larger L3 cache suggest a design optimized for single-thread responsiveness and desktop workloads.

Memory support differs substantially. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with a dual-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus but no recorded memory bandwidth figure. Both parts support ECC memory. The PCIe configuration also differs: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part’s Gen 5 PCIe support is a forward-looking feature for desktop expansion, while the AMD part’s Gen 4 implementation aligns with its mobile and embedded positioning.

The integrated graphics differ sharply. The AMD part uses the Radeon 890M, which is a modern integrated GPU with substantial compute capability. The Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730, which is a basic desktop graphics solution. The market segments confirm the intended use: the AMD part is classified as Mobile, while the Intel part is classified as Desktop. The release dates also differ, with the AMD part dated 2026-02-28 and the Intel part dated 2024-06-30, placing the AMD design as a later generation product.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. However, the Intel Core i5-14401E has a complete set of Cinebench scores, which provide a reference point for its performance. Its Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 1830, and its single-core score is 258. Its Cinebench R20 multi-core score is 7627, and its single-core score is 1076. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 18161, and its single-core score is 2564.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no recorded benchmark scores, so direct numerical comparison is impossible from the database. The percentile fields show the Intel part at the 60th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part is at the 50th percentile. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 5253, while the AMD part has a zero average benchmark score. The nearest rivals for the Intel part show a tight competitive cluster: the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 has an average score of 5259 with a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core i7-11700B has an average score of 5241 with a delta of 0.2%, the Intel Core i9-10850K has an average score of 5240 with a delta of 0.2%, and the Intel Core i5-13400T has an average score of 5210 with a delta of 0.8%. This indicates that the Intel part’s measured performance is within 1% of several mainstream and workstation processors.

Given the lack of AMD benchmark data, the analysis must rely on architectural differences. The AMD part’s 12 cores and 24 threads versus the Intel part’s 6 cores and 12 threads indicates a theoretical 100% advantage in thread count, which would typically translate to a multi-threaded workload advantage, but no measured scores confirm this. The AMD part’s boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus the Intel part’s 4.70 GHz suggests a potential single-thread advantage, but again, no recorded scores exist. The Intel part’s larger L3 cache of 20 MB versus the AMD part’s 16 MB could favor cache-sensitive workloads, but this remains unquantified in the database.
