AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core i7-14700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark records pairing the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 against the Intel Core i7-14700. The Intel part carries a full suite of measured results; the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct numeric comparison impossible for most workloads.

What the data does show is where the Intel Core i7-14700 stands on its own. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 28,398 points. Its single-core score in the same test is 2,080. Cinebench R20 results show 14,388 multi-core and 2,031 single-core. The older R15 test records 4,061 multi-core and 299 single-core. Geekbench results list 17,087 multi-core and 2,409 single-core.

The PassMark suite provides more granular detail. The Intel chip delivers 154,535 in integer math, 106,716 in floating point math, and 28,388 in extended instructions. Data compression scores 498,198, while encryption reaches 29,601. Random string sorting hits 54,340. The physics test records 2,226, and prime number finding scores 164. Multi-thread PassMark is 40,318, and single-thread is 4,236.

For the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, no such measurements exist in the database. The average benchmark score field is zero. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50, which places it at the median of the recorded CPU population, but that percentile appears without supporting benchmark data in the pack.

The Intel Core i7-14700 sits at the 91st percentile versus all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 52,301. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon Gold 5320H with an average score of 52,431 and a delta of -0.2 percent, the AMD EPYC 8124P at 52,121 with a delta of 0.3 percent, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52,073 with a delta of 0.4 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X at 51,947 with a delta of 0.7 percent. These deltas are all within one percent, indicating the Core i7-14700 sits in a tightly packed performance cluster.

Because the head-to-head array is empty and the AMD part has zero recorded scores, the only definitive statement the data permits is that the Intel chip has substantial measured performance across many tests, while the AMD chip's performance remains unquantified in this database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700 wins in every recorded benchmark category because it is the only one of the two with benchmark data. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no wins recorded in the winsA field, and the Intel part has no wins recorded in winsB either. The head-to-head array is empty, so neither processor can claim a victory over the other based on direct comparison.

The Intel chip's strongest recorded results are in throughput-oriented tasks. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 40,318 reflects the 20 cores and 28 threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 28,398 similarly benefits from the high core count. Data compression at 498,198 is the single highest score in its PassMark set. Integer math at 154,535 and floating point math at 106,716 show strong arithmetic throughput. Extended instructions at 28,388 indicate capable SIMD performance.

Single-thread performance for the Intel part is more modest in relative terms. Cinebench R23 single-core is 2,080, Geekbench single-core is 2,409, and PassMark single-thread is 4,236. These scores place it above the median CPU population but not at the top of the single-thread charts. The boost clock of 5.40 GHz contributes to these results, though the base clock of 2.10 GHz suggests power management plays a role in sustained loads.

The AMD part's market segment is mobile, whereas the Intel part is desktop. The database records the AMD chip as having 8 cores and 16 threads, a 3.60 GHz base clock and 5.00 GHz boost clock. Without benchmark scores, the data cannot confirm how those specifications translate into measured performance. The percentile field of 50 suggests the database ranks it at the midpoint of all CPUs, but no supporting score exists to validate that ranking.

The use-case split therefore defaults to the Intel part for any workload with recorded numbers. For workloads where the AMD part might excel, such as memory bandwidth or integrated graphics, the database lacks comparative data. The AMD chip's memory bandwidth is listed at 273.1 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure recorded. The AMD chip uses LPDDR5X memory in a quad-channel configuration; the Intel chip supports DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel. These differences are architectural, not measured.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max PRO generation built on Zen 5. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The die size is 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700 uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series, built on the Raptor Lake architecture. The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The die size is 257 mm².

Core counts differ sharply. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part has 20 cores and 28 threads. This means the Intel chip mixes performance cores and efficiency cores, a hybrid design typical of Raptor Lake. The AMD chip uses a uniform Zen 5 core layout.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: AMD provides 1 MB per core, Intel provides 2 MB per core. L3 cache is 32 MB shared on the AMD part and 33 MB shared on the Intel part. The total cache per core is higher on the Intel part due to the larger L2.

Memory support diverges. The AMD chip uses LPDDR5X with a quad-channel memory bus and a recorded bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and no recorded bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory.

PCI Express generations differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Intel chip a newer PCIe standard for storage and expansion.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD part includes a Radeon 8050S. The Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. The database does not include benchmark scores for either integrated GPU.

The sockets are incompatible. AMD uses Socket FP11, a mobile platform socket. Intel uses Socket 1700, a desktop socket. The market segments reflect this: AMD is Mobile, Intel is Desktop.

Release dates differ. The AMD part has a release date of 2026-05-19. The Intel part has a release date of 2024-01-07. The Intel chip has been available longer.

The multiplier is locked on both parts. Neither supports unlocked overclocking via the multiplier.
