AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head comparison results between the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 and the Intel Core i5-14501E. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and neither processor records any wins in direct comparative testing. The Intel Core i5-14501E also has no individual benchmark scores recorded in the database, which prevents any score-by-score comparison between these two parts.

What can be established from the recorded data is how the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 performs in absolute terms. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 28424 and a single-core score of 4012. In Cinebench R20, it records 11938 multicore and 1685 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2865 multicore and 404 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 32075, single-thread score of 3995, integer math at 105056, floating point math at 69580, data compression at 379448, and data encryption at 18978.

The average benchmark score for the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 is 43326, placing it at the 88th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals by average score are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 at 43431, which is 0.2 percent higher, the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H at 43210, which is 0.3 percent lower, the AMD Ryzen 7 170 at 43689, which is 0.8 percent higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 at 43704, which is 0.9 percent higher. These deltas are small, indicating that the Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 sits in a tightly clustered performance band around the 43300 average score mark.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50, but with no benchmark entries recorded, this percentile reflects an absence of measured data rather than a measured performance level. The database cannot confirm any performance relationship between the two processors.

The AMD part has more cores, more threads, a higher base clock, a lower boost clock, a lower TDP, a smaller process node, larger L3 cache, and quad-channel memory with a recorded bandwidth figure. The Intel part has a higher boost clock, a larger L2 cache per core, a larger die size, dual-channel memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5, and Gen 5 PCIe connectivity.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 385 wins on core count and thread count, offering 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads on the Intel part. Multithreaded workloads that scale with core count would favor the AMD processor based on this configuration difference. The AMD part also has a higher base clock of 3.60 GHz, a lower thermal design power of 55 watts versus 65 watts, and a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache is larger than the Intel part's 24 MB. The quad-channel LPDDR5X memory support with a measured bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s gives the AMD processor a memory bandwidth advantage on paper, which matters for memory-intensive workloads. The AMD part also records an 88th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on boost clock, reaching 5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz. It also has a larger L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 1 MB. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering broader memory compatibility, and provides Gen 5 PCIe connectivity with 16 lanes, which is a newer PCIe generation than the Gen 4 implementation on the AMD part. The Intel part has a smaller physical footprint in terms of die size at 215 mm², though the AMD die size is not recorded for comparison. The Intel part is a desktop-segment processor, while the AMD part is mobile-segment.

The database shows no benchmark wins for either processor, as the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores. The AMD part's performance position is established through its average score of 43326 and its proximity to four rivals within a 0.9 percent delta band. Those rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 465 at 43431, the Intel Core Ultra 9 386H at 43210, the AMD Ryzen 7 170 at 43689, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745 at 43704. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no comparable recorded data, so any performance-based win allocation between these two specific parts cannot be derived from the database. The specification differences provide the only basis for distinguishing workload suitability, with the AMD part oriented toward higher thread counts, lower power draw, and higher memory bandwidth, and the Intel part oriented toward higher single-core boost clocks, broader memory type support, and newer PCIe generation.
