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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 contains no benchmark scores, so direct numerical comparison is impossible. The Intel Core i7-14700HX, however, has a full benchmark suite recorded. The AMD part shows a 50th percentile ranking versus all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 89th percentile. The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 45953, placing it nearly identical to the AMD EPYC 7303 at 45960 (0% delta) and the AMD EPYC 4364P at 45970 (0% delta). It trails the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 by 0.2% (46030) and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 by 0.2% (46062).

Since the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 lacks any recorded benchmarks, the head-to-head section must rely on the Intel data alone. The Intel Core i7-14700HX delivers a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 3812 and a single-core score of 296. In Cinebench R20, it posts 13059 multicore and 1843 single-core. Cinebench R23 shows 24595 multicore and 2103 single-core. Geekbench results are 14390 multicore and 2116 single-core.

PassMark results for the Intel chip are extensive. Data compression scores 438539, data encryption 26092, and extended instructions 25718. Prime number finding yields 165, floating point math 93836, and integer math 131296. The multithread score is 36566, physics 2252, and random string sorting 48544. Single-thread performance is 3947.

The absence of AMD benchmark data means no wins can be attributed to the AMD part. All wins in this comparison belong to the Intel Core i7-14700HX by default, since it has measurable performance and the AMD part has none recorded. The Intel chip's 20 cores and 28 threads clearly outnumber the AMD part's 8 cores and 16 threads, which aligns with the Intel part's much higher percentile ranking.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses the Gorgon Halo codename with a Zen 5 generation label. It is built on a 4 nm TSMC process with a die size of 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i7-14700HX uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-HX codename, belonging to the Core i7 (Raptor Lake-HX Refresh) generation. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm².

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part has 20 cores and 28 threads. The Intel chip also uses a larger L2 cache at 2 MB per core versus 1 MB per core for AMD. L3 cache is 32 MB shared on the AMD side versus 33 MB shared on the Intel side. Both have 80 KB L1 cache per core.

Process node and foundry differences are significant. TSMC fabricates the AMD chip at 4 nm, while Intel fabricates its own chip at 10 nm. The die size difference is large: 70.6 mm² for AMD versus 257 mm² for Intel.

Memory architecture diverges. The AMD part uses LPDDR5X with quad-channel support and 273.1 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel support, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part has Radeon 8050S, while the Intel part has UHD Graphics 770.

Clock speeds show the Intel chip boosts higher. The AMD base clock is 3.60 GHz with a 5.00 GHz boost. The Intel base clock is 2.10 GHz with a 5.50 GHz boost. Both have a 55 W TDP.

The AMD part uses the AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1964. The AMD multiplier is locked, while the Intel multiplier is unlocked. The AMD release date is 2026-05-19, and the Intel release date is 2024-01-07. Part numbers are 100-000002144 for AMD and SRMXG for Intel.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear asymmetry. The Intel Core i7-14700HX has comprehensive benchmark coverage and an 89th percentile ranking. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has zero recorded benchmarks and sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part's average benchmark score of 45953 places it among server-class EPYC parts, while the AMD part's average score is 0.

For raw performance, the Intel chip is the only option with measurable data. Its 20 cores versus 8 cores, 28 threads versus 16 threads, and higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz all favor Intel. The Intel chip also carries a larger L3 cache (33 MB versus 32 MB) and double the L2 per core.

The AMD part does have advantages in specific areas. Its 4 nm process is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm process, and its die size is dramatically smaller at 70.6 mm² versus 257 mm². The quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the Intel part's dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 configuration, though no Intel bandwidth figure is recorded for comparison. The AMD part also uses PCIe Gen 4 versus Intel's Gen 5, meaning Intel has the newer PCIe standard.

Users who need proven performance should choose the Intel Core i7-14700HX. The database contains extensive results showing strong multicore and single-core scores. Users who prioritize the AMD platform's memory bandwidth and smaller process node may consider the Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, but no benchmark data supports a performance claim. The Intel part's 89th percentile ranking versus the AMD part's 50th percentile is the strongest signal in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700HX wins in every measurable benchmark category because it is the only part with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24595 and Geekbench multicore score of 14390 indicate strong multi-threaded workloads. PassMark multithread at 36566 and integer math at 131296 reinforce this. Single-core performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 2103 and Geekbench single-core at 2116.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 wins in architectural attributes without benchmark confirmation. It uses a smaller 4 nm process versus Intel's 10 nm, giving it a die size advantage at 70.6 mm² versus 257 mm². Its quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth is a clear specification win over the Intel part's dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 setup. The AMD part also has a higher base clock at 3.60 GHz versus 2.10 GHz, though Intel boosts higher at 5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz.

For memory-intensive workloads, the AMD part's 273.1 GB/s bandwidth could be a deciding factor, but no benchmark confirms this. For compute-heavy workloads with proven results, the Intel part's 20 cores and 28 threads deliver measurable performance. The Intel chip's unlocked multiplier also allows overclocking, while the AMD multiplier is locked.

The AMD part's newer release date of 2026-05-19 versus 2024-01-07 indicates a more recent design. The Intel part's PCIe Gen 5 support is newer than AMD's Gen 4. Both parts have identical TDP at 55 W, meaning power draw is nominally equal, though actual consumption is not recorded.

The database shows the Intel part matching server-class EPYC processors within 0.2%, which is a strong indicator of its performance tier. The AMD part has no comparable data, so any use-case advantage for it remains speculative. Users should treat the Intel part as the performance leader based on recorded measurements.
