AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14701E is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data, and the results place it firmly in the mid-to-upper performance tier. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no benchmark entries in the database, so all quantitative comparisons rely on the Intel part's measured scores and its standing against other CPUs.

The Core i7-14701E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22195 and a single-core score of 3133. These figures indicate strong scaling across all 16 threads, with the multi-core result roughly seven times the single-core figure, a ratio typical for a chip with eight cores and sixteen threads. In Cinebench R20, the same pattern holds: 9321 multi-core and 1315 single-core. The R15 scores of 2237 multi-core and 315 single-core follow the expected progression.

PassMark results show the processor's strengths in specific workloads. Integer math scores 81325, floating point math scores 61873, and extended instructions score 18528. Data compression reaches 282939, while data encryption hits 14862. The multithread score of 26112 and single-thread score of 4305 (recorded twice under slightly different test names) place the chip in a consistent performance band. Physics processing scores 2399, random string sorting scores 29158, and find prime numbers scores 176.

The database places the Core i7-14701E at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33206. Its nearest rivals are all AMD or Intel mobile or desktop parts with similar average scores. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33244, a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the Intel chip trails by a tenth of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091, a delta of 0.3 percent in favor of the Intel part. The Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33089, a delta of 0.4 percent in favor of the 14701E. These margins are narrow, all within a half percent, indicating that the 14701E sits at the center of a tightly clustered performance group.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no benchmark scores in the database, no head-to-head wins can be assigned. The wins counter shows zero for both processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing ecosystems. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the Gorgon Halo codename, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14701E uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel. This process gap typically translates into different power efficiency and transistor density characteristics, though the database does not record transistor counts for either chip.

Die size differs substantially. The AMD chip measures 70.6 mm², while the Intel chip measures 257 mm². The larger Intel die reflects its older process node and different integration strategy. Both processors have eight cores and sixteen threads, so core count parity exists. Base clock speeds differ: the AMD chip runs at 3.60 GHz, while the Intel chip runs at 2.60 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the order: the AMD chip reaches 5.00 GHz, while the Intel chip reaches 5.40 GHz. The Intel part has a higher top frequency but a lower idle or base frequency.

Cache layouts show both similarities and differences. Both chips provide 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: AMD gives 1 MB per core, Intel gives 2 MB per core. Total L3 cache is close, with AMD at 32 MB shared and Intel at 33 MB shared. The larger per-core L2 on the Intel side may benefit workloads with high locality, while the nearly equal L3 totals keep shared-cache performance comparable.

Memory support diverges clearly. The AMD chip supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel bus, delivering 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no recorded bandwidth figure. The AMD part's quad-channel LPDDR5X configuration gives it a theoretical bandwidth advantage, which can matter for memory-intensive tasks. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCI Express generation differs. The AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The Intel part's newer PCIe generation allows faster data transfer to compatible devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD chip includes a Radeon 8050S, while the Intel chip includes UHD Graphics 770. The database does not record benchmark scores for either integrated GPU, so no performance comparison is possible.

Production status is Active for both. Release dates differ: the AMD chip entered the database on May 19, 2026, while the Intel chip was released on June 30, 2024. The AMD part belongs to the Ryzen AI Max PRO generation built on Zen 5, while the Intel part belongs to the Core 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh family.

Market segments differ. The AMD chip is classified as Mobile, using the AMD Socket FP11. The Intel chip is classified as Desktop, using Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is 100-000002144, while the Intel part number is Q49FSRNJK.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data only covers the Intel Core i7-14701E, so the wins analysis relies on that processor's benchmark results and the architectural characteristics of both chips. The Intel part's measured scores show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22195 and a PassMark multithread score of 26112. These results place it at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 33206. The nearest rival data confirms that the 14701E trades blows with other high-end mobile and desktop chips, sitting within 0.4 percent of three AMD parts and one Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no benchmark scores, so its wins cannot be quantified. However, architectural data indicates potential advantages. The 4 nm process node suggests better power efficiency per clock compared to the Intel 10 nm process. The quad-channel LPDDR5X memory bus with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth gives the AMD chip a memory bandwidth edge over the Intel chip's dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 configuration, for which no bandwidth is recorded. The AMD chip also has a higher base clock of 3.60 GHz versus 2.60 GHz, which could benefit lightly threaded workloads at lower frequencies.

The Intel chip's advantages from the data include a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, a larger per-core L2 cache of 2 MB versus 1 MB, and PCIe Gen 5 support versus Gen 4. The Intel chip also has a slightly larger L3 cache at 33 MB versus 32 MB. For workloads that scale with single-core frequency, the Intel chip's higher boost clock could provide an edge. For workloads that depend on cache capacity per core, the Intel chip's doubled L2 may help.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear choice for users who require validated benchmark results: the Intel Core i7-14701E. It has an extensive set of measured scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark workloads, an average benchmark score of 33206, and an 83rd percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H and AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX, sit within a 0.4 percent margin, confirming that the 14701E competes at a high level. The Intel chip also offers a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz, a larger L2 cache per core, PCIe Gen 5 support, and a desktop socket with a 65 TDP.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485 has no recorded benchmark scores, so its performance cannot be verified from the database. Its architectural specifications suggest potential advantages in memory bandwidth (273.1 GB/s over a quad-channel LPDDR5X bus), process efficiency (4 nm versus 10 nm), and base clock speed (3.60 GHz versus 2.60 GHz). It also carries a lower TDP of 55 and a smaller die size of 70.6 mm². These factors could translate into better power efficiency and faster memory access, but without benchmark data, those remain theoretical.

Users who need proven multi-threaded and single-threaded performance from recorded measurements should select the Intel Core i7-14701E. Users who prioritize memory bandwidth, a smaller manufacturing process, and a mobile form factor may consider the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 485, but the absence of benchmark scores prevents a data-backed recommendation. The database currently offers no wins for either processor in a head-to-head comparison, and the only quantitative evidence favors the Intel part.
