AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 vs Intel Core i3-14100F Comparison

The Verdict

The database contains benchmark records for the Intel Core i3-14100F, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 has no recorded benchmark scores or nearest rival comparisons. This means the quantitative verdict must rely entirely on the Intel part's measured results and the architectural specifications of the AMD processor.

The Intel Core i3-14100F sits in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18519. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18511 (0 percent delta), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE at 18505 (0.1 percent ahead of the i3), the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18380 (0.8 percent behind), and the Intel Core 7 360 at 18374 (0.8 percent behind). The data shows the i3-14100F effectively matches its closest competitors, with no meaningful performance gap in either direction.

For the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490, the database records a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, but no actual benchmark scores exist to substantiate that position. The processor is listed as active with a 55 TDP, 12 cores, 24 threads, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock, but the lack of measured data prevents any direct comparison on performance.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the Intel Core i3-14100F has verifiable benchmark results across multiple tests, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 does not. Users seeking confirmed performance numbers should select the Intel part. The AMD processor's specifications suggest a very different class of hardware, but without test scores, it cannot be ranked against the i3-14100F in any meaningful way.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-14100F wins in every category where data exists, simply because the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 has no recorded benchmarks. The i3-14100F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13084 and a single-core score of 1847. In Geekbench, it posts 7598 multi-core and 2105 single-core. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 15420 and a single-thread score of 3778 (also recorded as 3778 under the alternate test name).

The AMD part's architectural profile points to different strengths. It uses LPDDR5X memory with quad-channel support and 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which the Intel processor cannot match since its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. The Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 also includes Radeon 8050S integrated graphics, whereas the i3-14100F has no integrated graphics at all (listed as N/A).

For single-core workloads, the Intel part's boost clock reaches 4.70 GHz, and its measured Cinebench R15 single-core score of 186 confirms capable single-thread performance. The AMD processor boosts to 5.00 GHz, but no single-core test results exist to verify how that clock speed translates into actual scores.

The data shows the i3-14100F is a desktop processor with DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, dual-channel memory bus, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 is a mobile processor with quad-channel LPDDR5X, PCIe Gen 4 with 16 CPU lanes, and ECC memory support. These are different market segments, and the benchmark database only contains results for the Intel desktop part.

Architecture Differences

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database provides no head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 and the Intel Core i3-14100F. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the wins count shows 0 for both processors. The AMD processor has no recorded benchmark scores at all, making any direct numerical comparison impossible.

All measured performance data in this comparison comes from the Intel Core i3-14100F. In Cinebench R15, the Intel part scores 1318 multi-core and 186 single-core. Cinebench R20 results show 5495 multi-core and 775 single-core. Cinebench R23 delivers 13084 multi-core and 1847 single-core. Geekbench shows 7598 multi-core and 2105 single-core.

PassMark tests provide additional detail for the Intel part. Data compression scores 176106, data encryption scores 8922, extended instructions score 11984, find prime numbers scores 61, floating point math scores 35370, integer math scores 45357, multi-thread scores 15420, physics scores 1077, random string sorting scores 17596, and single-thread scores 3778 (with the same value recorded under the alternate test name).

The Intel Core i3-14100F's nearest rival comparison shows how tightly grouped the competition is. The Intel Core i5-13420H scores 18511, a 0 percent delta from the i3-14100F's 18519 average. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE scores 18505, placing it 0.1 percent ahead of the i3-14100F. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380, which is 0.8 percent behind. The Intel Core 7 360 scores 18374, also 0.8 percent behind.

The percentile ranking reinforces this picture. The Intel Core i3-14100F sits at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 is listed at the 50th percentile. However, the AMD processor's percentile is not supported by any average benchmark score, as its avgBenchmarkScore is recorded as 0.

The architectural data suggests the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490 would likely produce different benchmark outcomes if measured. Its 12-core, 24-thread configuration with 64 MB of L3 cache and quad-channel LPDDR5X memory at 273.1 GB/s bandwidth represents a substantially different hardware profile than the 4-core, 8-thread Intel part with 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 support. The AMD processor's 55 TDP versus the Intel processor's 58 TDP indicates similar power envelopes, but the mobile versus desktop market segmentation and the AMD part's integrated Radeon 8050S graphics point to different intended use cases.

Without recorded benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen AI Max PRO 490, the database can only confirm the Intel Core i3-14100F's measured performance. The i3-14100F's results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark provide a complete picture of its capabilities, and its nearest rival data places it squarely within a competitive cluster of similarly performing processors. The AMD part remains an unverified entry in the database, with specifications that suggest high multi-threaded potential but no test scores to confirm it.
