AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core i5-14400 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 and the Intel Core i5-14400 target different usage environments, and the recorded data reflects that split. AMD's part is a mobile processor on Socket FP11, designed for laptops and compact systems where power envelopes and integrated graphics matter. Intel's part is a desktop processor on Socket 1700, built for conventional towers where sustained multi-core throughput and upgrade paths take priority.

The AMD chip uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip uses 10 cores and 16 threads. That extra core pair gives Intel an advantage in workloads that scale with core count, such as rendering, compilation, and heavy multitasking. The AMD chip counters with a higher boost clock, 5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, and a much larger shared L3 cache, 32 MB versus 20 MB. These characteristics favor bursty single-thread tasks and workloads that benefit from large cache footprints.

The integrated graphics also define use cases. AMD pairs the CPU with a Radeon 8050S, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The Radeon part is positioned for more demanding visual tasks, including light gaming and GPU-accelerated content creation, whereas UHD Graphics 730 is suited for basic desktop output and video playback. Memory support further separates them: AMD uses LPDDR5X with a quad-channel bus and 273.1 GB/s bandwidth, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus. The AMD platform is clearly built for bandwidth-hungry integrated graphics and data-heavy mobile workloads.

The Intel chip's benchmark scores are listed in the database, and its percentile versus all CPUs sits at 82, with an average benchmark score of 32115. The AMD chip's percentile is 50, and its average score is 0 in the current record, meaning no benchmark results are available for direct comparison. The nearest rivals to the Intel chip are all within 0.3 percent of its average score, indicating a tightly contested performance cluster.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. AMD uses TSMC's 4 nm process, while Intel uses its own 10 nm node. The AMD die is 70.6 mm², while Intel's die measures 215 mm². This difference in manufacturing geometry and die area influences power efficiency and thermal density, though the database does not include measured wattage figures.

AMD's architecture is codenamed Gorgon Halo, part of the Ryzen AI Max PRO generation built on Zen 5. Intel's architecture is Raptor Lake, specifically Raptor Lake-R from the Core 14th Gen family. AMD uses 8 cores with 16 threads, and each core has 80 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2. Intel uses 10 cores with 16 threads, and each core also has 80 KB of L1 but 1.25 MB of L2. The L3 caches diverge significantly: AMD provides 32 MB shared, Intel provides 20 MB shared.

Memory controllers differ in channel count and supported types. AMD supports LPDDR5X on a quad-channel bus with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth, a configuration tuned for integrated graphics and memory-intensive mobile tasks. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, and the database does not list its memory bandwidth. Both parts support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. AMD offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives Intel a potential advantage in bandwidth to discrete GPUs, NVMe drives, and other Gen 5 peripherals, though the practical impact depends on platform support.

Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier. AMD's part number is 100-000002144 and Intel's is SRN3QSRN46. The AMD chip launched on 2026-05-19, while Intel's launched on 2024-01-07. Intel's launch MSRP is $221, stated once here as recorded. AMD's launch MSRP is not listed.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors, and no benchmark scores for the AMD chip. The Intel chip, however, has a full set of recorded results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests.

Cinebench R15 multicore scores 2148, and singlecore scores 303. Cinebench R20 multicore scores 8952, and singlecore scores 1263. Cinebench R23 multicore scores 21315, and singlecore scores 3009. These numbers show a processor that scales well with multi-threaded rendering tasks, with the multicore scores roughly seven times higher than their singlecore counterparts.

Geekbench results show a multicore score of 9807 and a singlecore score of 1905. The ratio between multicore and singlecore here is about 5.1, reflecting the 10-core, 16-thread configuration under a workload that does not scale perfectly linearly.

Passmark results cover a range of specialized tests. Data compression scores 314995, data encryption scores 16731, extended instructions score 19816, find prime numbers scores 80, floating point math scores 61549, integer math scores 82017, multithread scores 25080, physics scores 1396, random string sorting scores 32346, and single thread scores 3741.

The Intel chip's nearest rivals provide context for its performance tier. The Core i7-12800H has an average score of 32121 with a delta of 0 percent, meaning the i5-14400 performs essentially identically. The Core i7-13705H scores 32076 with a delta of 0.1 percent. The Core i5-14450HX scores 32040 with a delta of 0.2 percent. The Core i9-11900 scores 32226 with a delta of -0.3 percent, meaning it slightly outperforms the i5-14400. This cluster indicates that the i5-14400 sits in a dense competitive band where no single rival dominates.

Without AMD benchmark data, the head-to-head comparison relies on architecture and specification analysis. The AMD chip's 32 MB L3 cache and quad-channel memory bandwidth suggest advantages in data-heavy integrated workloads. The Intel chip's extra cores and higher percentile ranking indicate strengths in conventional desktop multi-threading.
