AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data splits cleanly along market lines. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i targets mobile embedded workloads with a 28 W TDP, while the Intel Core i7-14701E is a desktop part rated at 65 W. Every recorded benchmark score belongs to the Intel processor, which holds a decisive advantage in both single-threaded and multithreaded tests. The AMD part has no benchmark entries in the database, so all performance comparisons rely on the Intel side's recorded results.

The Intel Core i7-14701E wins across every measured category, including Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multicore and singlecore tests, plus the full Passmark suite. Its strongest margins appear in heavily threaded workloads such as Cinebench R23 multicore, where the score reaches 22195, and Passmark multithread, which records 26112. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i, by contrast, offers no recorded scores in the database, meaning its performance profile is entirely unquantified for direct comparison.

The AMD part does win on efficiency and integration. Its 28 W TDP is less than half the Intel part's 65 W TDP. It also uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, whereas the Intel chip uses a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry. The AMD processor integrates a Radeon 890M graphics unit, while the Intel chip carries UHD Graphics 770. For embedded applications where power draw and integrated graphics matter more than raw compute, the AMD part has a structural advantage, but the recorded benchmark data gives every performance win to Intel.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. All recorded scores belong to the Intel Core i7-14701E. That means the comparison must be read from the Intel side's absolute numbers and its position relative to other CPUs.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel part scores 2237 in multicore and 315 in singlecore. In Cinebench R20, it scores 9321 in multicore and 1315 in singlecore. In Cinebench R23, the multicore result is 22195 and the singlecore result is 3133. These figures establish the Intel processor as a capable performer in rendering workloads, with the multicore scores scaling well above the singlecore results, as expected from an 8-core, 16-thread design.

The Passmark suite reinforces the Intel part's strengths. The multithread score is 26112, and the single-thread score is 4305. Integer math reaches 81325, floating point math reaches 61873, and extended instructions score 18528. Data compression posts 282939, while data encryption records 14862. Random string sorting scores 29158, physics scores 2399, and find prime numbers scores 176. These numbers show a processor that handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy tasks with consistency, with the compression score standing out as particularly high relative to other Passmark results.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33244, a -0.1% delta, meaning it is essentially tied with the Intel chip. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091, a 0.3% delta in favor of Intel. The Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33089, a 0.4% delta in favor of the 14701E. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 33206 places it in a tight cluster with these four rivals, all within 0.4% of one another.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its 50th percentile placement reflects the absence of recorded data rather than measured performance. The Intel part's 83rd percentile placement, by contrast, is based on actual test results.

Specification Differences

The core counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel processor has 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD part uses a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel part uses a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Intel holds the clock advantage on both ends.

The TDP figures show a major efficiency gap. The AMD processor is rated at 28 W, while the Intel processor is rated at 65 W. The AMD part draws less than half the power of the Intel part. The sockets differ as well: the AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700.

Cache configurations diverge. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache differs: the AMD processor has 1 MB per core, while the Intel processor has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache also differs: the AMD processor has 16 MB, while the Intel processor has 33 MB shared. The Intel part has more total cache at every level beyond L1.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a dual-channel bus with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database lists no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both parts support ECC memory.

PCIe capability differs by generation. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The die sizes are close but not identical. The AMD processor has a die size of 233 mm², while the Intel processor has a die size of 257 mm². The process nodes are further apart: the AMD part is built on a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel part is built on a 10 nm process from Intel. The market segments also differ, with the AMD part classified as Mobile and the Intel part classified as Desktop. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i uses the Gorgon Point codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Embedded generation built on Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i7-14701E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with a Raptor Lake Refresh generation label. These are fundamentally different designs: AMD's chip uses a hybrid of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, while Intel's chip uses the Raptor Lake core design.

The manufacturing process separates the two clearly. The AMD processor is fabricated on a 4 nm node by TSMC. The Intel processor is fabricated on a 10 nm node by Intel. The die sizes reflect the different designs: 233 mm² for the AMD part and 257 mm² for the Intel part. The AMD part achieves a lower TDP of 28 W on a smaller die with a denser process, while the Intel part uses a larger die on a less dense process to reach a 65 W TDP.

The core architecture affects cache organization. The AMD processor provides 1 MB of L2 per core and 16 MB of L3, while the Intel processor provides 2 MB of L2 per core and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part's larger L2 and L3 allocations give it more on-die storage for repeated data access, which aligns with its higher clock speeds. The AMD part's Zen 5 and Zen 5c combination is designed for power efficiency, with the smaller cores presumably handling lighter workloads, though the database does not specify the core mix.

The memory controller designs differ. The AMD processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5, with no bandwidth figure recorded. The AMD part's inclusion of LPDDR5X support points to mobile and embedded usage, where low-power memory is common. The Intel part's DDR4 support points to desktop flexibility, where users may reuse older memory.

The integrated graphics differ in architecture as well. The AMD processor uses Radeon 890M, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not provide performance figures for either graphics unit, but the Radeon 890M is associated with AMD's embedded mobile lineup, while UHD Graphics 770 is the standard Intel desktop solution. The PCIe controller also differs, with the AMD part limited to Gen 4 and the Intel part supporting Gen 5. For embedded applications using Gen 4 storage or accelerators, the AMD part is sufficient; for desktop systems with Gen 5 devices, the Intel part is the only option of the two.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i7-14701E is the only one of the two processors with recorded performance data, and that data shows a strong desktop part. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22195, its Passmark multithread score of 26112, and its 83rd percentile placement all indicate a processor that delivers competitive performance against its nearest measured rivals, which sit within 0.4% of its average benchmark score of 33206. The Intel part also offers higher base and boost clocks, more L2 and L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and DDR4 compatibility. For any workload where measured compute performance is the deciding factor, the data points to the Intel processor.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i cannot be assessed on measured performance because the database contains no benchmark results for it. Its case rests on specification advantages: a 28 W TDP, a 4 nm TSMC process, 12 cores and 24 threads, LPDDR5X memory support, and a mobile embedded market classification. These features make it suitable for power-constrained embedded designs where the Intel part's 65 W TDP and desktop socket would be impractical. The AMD part's 50th percentile placement is a placeholder, not a performance verdict.

The choice depends on the use case. For desktop or high-throughput embedded systems where the 65 W TDP is acceptable and peak performance is required, the Intel Core i7-14701E is the supported choice based on recorded benchmarks. For low-power embedded or mobile applications where the 28 W TDP, 4 nm process, and LPDDR5X support align with system constraints, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i offers the relevant specifications, though its performance remains unmeasured in this database.
