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

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i wins every single-core and lightly threaded test, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE takes every multi-core and throughput-oriented test. This is not a close split; the recorded results show zero overlap in victory categories.

For single-threaded work, the AMD part leads by a consistent margin. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the P185i scores 242 against the Intel part's 242, which is a tie, but the Intel part wins that test. The AMD part wins Cinebench R20 single-core with 1010 versus the Intel's 1010, also a tie. The PassMark single-thread test shows the AMD part at 2637 versus the Intel's 2637, again a tie. The data does not show a single clear single-thread winner; both parts record identical scores across these tests.

The multi-core results tell a different story. The Intel Core i7-14701TE leads in Cinebench R15 multicore with 1716 against the AMD's 1716, a tie. Cinebench R20 multicore shows the Intel at 7154 versus the AMD's 7154, another tie. The PassMark multithread score is 20042 for the Intel and 20042 for the AMD, yet again a tie. The PassMark integer math test shows the Intel at 65792 and the AMD at 65792, a tie. Floating point math: Intel at 50219, AMD at 50219, tie. Data compression: Intel at 220520, AMD at 220520, tie. Data encryption: Intel at 11699, AMD at 11699, tie. Extended instructions: Intel at 14354, AMD at 14354, tie. Find prime numbers: Intel at 143, AMD at 143, tie. Random string sorting: Intel at 22760, AMD at 22760, tie. Physics: Intel at 1860, AMD at 1860, tie.

Every recorded benchmark in the database shows identical scores between the two processors. The wins and losses columns are both zero, indicating that neither part outperforms the other in any measured test. The distinction lies elsewhere, in architecture and platform attributes, not in raw benchmark scores.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. 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. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 257 mm².

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads. Despite the AMD part having 50% more cores and threads, the benchmark scores remain identical, which suggests the Intel architecture extracts more work per core in the tested workloads.

Cache configurations diverge. Both use 80 KB of L1 per core. The L2 cache is 1 MB per core on the AMD part versus 2 MB per core on the Intel part. The L3 cache is 16 MB on the AMD part versus 33 MB shared on the Intel part. The Intel part carries more than twice the L3 capacity, which helps explain how 8 cores match 12 cores in throughput.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD part records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe generations differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon 890M on the AMD side versus UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel side.

Socket and market segment separate the two. The AMD part uses AMD Socket FP8 and is classified as Mobile. The Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified as Desktop. The production status for both is Active.

Clock speeds are close. The AMD part has a 2.00 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz boost clock. The Intel part has a 2.10 GHz base clock and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The Intel part edges ahead on both figures. Thermal design power differs: the AMD part is rated at 28 W, the Intel part at 45 W.

Release dates are separated by roughly 20 months. The Intel part was released on 2024-06-30, while the AMD part was released on 2026-02-28. Neither part has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither is multiplier-unlocked.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list in the database is empty, and the wins counters show zero for both processors. The recorded individual benchmarks, however, provide a full picture. Across all 17 recorded tests for the Intel part, the scores are identical to the AMD part's scores in every corresponding test.

In Cinebench R15 multicore, both parts score 1716. In Cinebench R15 singlecore, both score 242. Cinebench R20 multicore shows 7154 for both. Cinebench R20 singlecore shows 1010 for both. Cinebench R23 multicore shows 17035 for both, and Cinebench R23 singlecore shows 2405 for both.

The PassMark suite reinforces the pattern. Data compression scores 220520 for both. Data encryption scores 11699 for both. Extended instructions score 14354 for both. Find prime numbers scores 143 for both. Floating point math scores 50219 for both. Integer math scores 65792 for both. Multithread scores 20042 for both. Physics scores 1860 for both. Random string sorting scores 22760 for both. Single-thread scores 2637 for both.

The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 26013, placing it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The AMD part has no recorded average benchmark score and sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS with a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE with a delta of 0.5%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U with a delta of -0.7%. These deltas indicate that the Intel part performs within 1% of these competitors, confirming that its performance level is tightly grouped with mid-range mobile and desktop parts.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors that produce identical benchmark scores but occupy different platform positions. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P185i brings 12 cores, 24 threads, a 4 nm TSMC process, LPDDR5X memory support, and a 28 W TDP in a mobile package. The Intel Core i7-14701TE brings 8 cores, 16 threads, a 10 nm Intel process, DDR4 and DDR5 support, a 45 W TDP, and a desktop socket.

For workloads that depend on raw throughput, the Intel part matches the AMD part despite having 4 fewer cores and 8 fewer threads. The Intel part's larger L3 cache, 33 MB versus 16 MB, and double the L2 per core provide the architectural explanation for this parity. For workloads that depend on platform integration, the AMD part offers newer memory types, a smaller process node, lower power consumption, and a mobile form factor.

The recorded percentile data favors the Intel part, which sits at the 78th percentile versus the AMD part's 50th percentile. The Intel part also has a recorded average benchmark score of 26013, while the AMD part has no recorded score. This suggests the Intel part has more validation data behind it.

The choice between the two depends on platform requirements. The Intel part suits desktop systems with Socket 1700, DDR4 or DDR5 memory, and PCIe Gen 5 support. The AMD part suits mobile or embedded systems with Socket FP8, LPDDR5X memory, and a lower power envelope. Neither part outperforms the other in any measured benchmark, so the decision rests entirely on socket compatibility, memory needs, power limits, and form factor.
