AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an incomplete comparison, as the database contains benchmark results for only one of the two processors in this matchup. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, while the Intel Core i5-14450HX has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. This asymmetry means the head-to-head analysis is one-sided, but the available numbers for the Intel processor still provide a useful reference point for what the AMD part must match or exceed.

The Intel Core i5-14450HX delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108 and a single-core score of 2838. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8445 multi-core and 1191 single-core, while in the older R15 test it records 2026 multi-core and 285 single-core. These results place the Intel part at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32040. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-13705H (average score 32076, delta -0.1%), the Intel Core i5-14400 (32115, delta -0.2%), the Intel Core i7-12800H (32121, delta -0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-11900 (32226, delta -0.6%). The data shows the i5-14450HX sits within 0.6% of four other processors, indicating a tightly clustered performance band.

On the PassMark suite, the Intel part records a multi-thread score of 23680 and a single-thread score of 3643. Its strongest PassMark results include integer math at 78330, floating point math at 58037, and data compression at 278538. The data encryption score is 15574, extended instructions score is 17207, and random string sorting reaches 29565. Physics processing scores 1475, while the prime number finding test returns 98. These results show a processor well-suited to sustained multi-threaded workloads, with the multi-thread score sitting roughly 6.5 times higher than the single-thread score.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has zero recorded benchmarks, the database offers no direct measurements of its Cinebench or PassMark performance. The wins count stands at 0 for both processors, reflecting the absence of head-to-head test results rather than a competitive outcome. Any conclusion about relative performance must rely on architectural specifications rather than measured scores.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward selection: the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores, making it the verifiable performer. Its 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, backed by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 23680, confirms it as a capable mobile processor for demanding workloads. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, despite its architectural advantages on paper, lacks any benchmark data in the database, so no performance claims can be made for it.

Users requiring measured performance evidence should choose the Intel Core i5-14450HX. Users considering the AMD part must wait for benchmark results to appear in the database before making a data-driven decision. The Intel processor's nearest rivals, all within 0.6% of its average score, indicate it competes effectively with several other Intel and older-generation parts, but no competitor data exists for the AMD processor.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses the Gorgon Halo codename, built on the Ryzen AI Max PRO (Zen 5) generation, and is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14450HX belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-HX codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The process node difference is substantial: AMD's 4 nm process allows a die size of 70.6 mm², while Intel's 10 nm process results in a die size of 257 mm².

Core configurations also differ. The AMD processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 16 threads. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core versus 2 MB per core for Intel. Shared L3 cache favors AMD at 32 MB versus Intel's 20 MB. The Intel processor's extra cores are paired with half the L2 cache per core and less total L3 cache, suggesting different cache allocation strategies.

Memory support shows a clear split. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory on a quad-channel bus with a bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, with no recorded bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), giving Intel a generational advantage in PCIe bandwidth.

Integrated graphics differ markedly. The AMD processor includes a Radeon 8050S, while the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 710. The database does not record performance scores for either integrated GPU, but the product names indicate different graphics tiers. Clock speeds show AMD with a 3.60 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost, versus Intel with a 2.40 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The AMD part has a locked multiplier, while the Intel part is multiplier-unlocked.

Socket and packaging differ: AMD uses Socket FP11, while Intel uses BGA 1964. Release dates also differ, with the AMD processor dated 2026-05-19 and the Intel processor dated 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a part number of SRMXK, while the AMD part uses 100-000002144.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14450HX wins in every category where measured data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108 and single-core score of 2838 provide concrete evidence of strong performance in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The PassMark results reinforce this, with a multi-thread score of 23680 and a single-thread score of 3643. The processor's nearest rivals, all within 0.6% of its average score, show it competes effectively with the Intel Core i7-13705H, Intel Core i5-14400, Intel Core i7-12800H, and Intel Core i9-11900.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 wins in architectural specifications where the database provides data. It has a smaller 4 nm process node versus Intel's 10 nm, a smaller die size of 70.6 mm² versus 257 mm², higher base and boost clocks, more L3 cache at 32 MB versus 20 MB, quad-channel memory with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth versus dual-channel with no recorded figure, and a Radeon 8050S integrated GPU versus Intel's UHD Graphics 710. These specifications suggest advantages in power efficiency and memory bandwidth, but without benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm whether these translate into measured performance wins.

For users prioritizing verified performance, the Intel part is the only choice with data support. For users prioritizing architectural features such as newer process technology, higher memory bandwidth, and larger L3 cache, the AMD part offers advantages on paper. The absence of AMD benchmark data means no direct performance comparison is possible.
