The Verdict

The database contains complete benchmark measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 and none for the Intel Core i9-14901TE. With no recorded scores for the Intel part, the data cannot support a performance comparison between the two. The AMD part's 96th percentile ranking and average score of 90541 indicate it sits among the higher-performing CPUs in the database, with its nearest rivals within a narrow band of 0.7% above and 3.0% below its average score.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE has a 50th percentile ranking, which places it at the midpoint of all CPUs in the database, but the absence of benchmark entries means that ranking is not accompanied by any measured workload data. The AMD part has a higher core count at 12 versus 8, a higher thread count at 24 versus 16, and a larger shared L3 cache at 64 MB versus 36 MB. The Intel part has a higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, a higher base clock is held by the AMD part at 3.20 GHz versus 2.30 GHz, and the Intel part has a larger per-core L2 cache at 2 MB versus 1 MB.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 is the only one of the two with measured performance data in the database. The Intel Core i9-14901TE cannot be assessed on benchmark results because none are recorded. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the AMD part has a verified performance profile, while the Intel part has none in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 wins on measured benchmark performance because it is the only one of the two with recorded scores. Its multi-thread score of 45231, integer math score of 152414, floating point math score of 99548, and data compression score of 554760 provide a full workload profile. The data encryption score of 27784, extended instructions score of 45666, random string sorting score of 59487, physics score of 2887, and prime number finding score of 320 complete the measurement set. Its 96th percentile ranking across all CPUs puts it well above the Intel part's 50th percentile ranking.

The AMD part also wins on core count, thread count, L3 cache size, memory bandwidth (256.0 GB/s recorded versus none for the Intel part), and integrated graphics (Radeon 8060S versus UHD Graphics 770). Its mobile market segment and quad-channel LPDDR5X support indicate a design aimed at high-bandwidth, high-throughput workloads.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE wins on boost clock, 5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, and on per-core L2 cache at 2 MB versus 1 MB. It also holds an advantage in PCIe generation, Gen 5 versus Gen 4 for the AMD part. Its desktop market segment and DDR4/DDR5 support give it a different platform fit. Its lower TDP of 45 versus 55 for the AMD part indicates a lower power envelope. However, with no benchmark scores recorded, the Intel part's wins are limited to specification fields rather than measured performance.

The data shows the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 392 is the processor with a complete performance record, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE lacks any recorded measurements. For workloads where the AMD part's multi-thread and math scores apply, the database supports it as the higher-performing option. For the Intel part, the database provides no measured basis for a workload advantage beyond its clock and cache specifications.
