Cache hierarchies differ meaningfully. Both parts share 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel part uses 1.25 MB per core, giving the Intel chip a slightly larger L2 allocation per core. The L3 cache tells a different story: the AMD part has 32 MB shared, while the Intel part has 12 MB shared. The AMD chip provides nearly three times the L3 capacity, which can reduce memory latency in cache-sensitive workloads.

Memory support diverges sharply. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel bus, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel Core i3-14100F supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded. Both parts support ECC memory, an unusual feature for consumer-oriented chips. The AMD part's quad-channel configuration and higher bandwidth make it better suited for memory-heavy tasks, while the Intel part's dual-channel flexibility allows builders to choose between older DDR4 and newer DDR5 modules.

PCIe support also differs. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel part provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel chip's newer PCIe generation offers higher per-lane bandwidth for compatible devices, though the AMD chip's lane count matches.

Integrated graphics is a major differentiator. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 includes a Radeon 8050S integrated GPU, making it a complete package for systems without a discrete graphics card. The Intel Core i3-14100F has no integrated graphics, indicated as N/A, so it requires a separate GPU for any display output. This makes the AMD part suitable for compact or portable systems, while the Intel part targets desktop builds with dedicated graphics.

Clock speeds are similar on paper. The AMD part has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The AMD chip runs slightly faster at both ends, though the Intel chip's higher percentile rank suggests its real-world results are competitive despite the lower clocks.
