AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core i3-14100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark records for this pairing, meaning the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and the Intel Core i3-14100 have not been tested against each other in the same workload suite. However, the Intel Core i3-14100 has a full set of standalone benchmark scores, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 currently has no recorded benchmark results at all. This absence of data for the AMD part is significant: the database lists an average benchmark score of 0 for the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, placing it at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, a position that reflects the lack of measurements rather than actual performance.

The Intel Core i3-14100, by contrast, delivers a substantial body of recorded results. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 12,820 points, while its single-core result reaches 1,809 points. The Cinebench R20 run shows 5,384 multicore and 759 single-core. Geekbench measurements put the multicore score at 7,231 and single-core at 2,133. PassMark results are extensive: multithread score of 15,095, single-thread score of 3,759, integer math at 45,329, floating point math at 35,266, data encryption at 8,838, data compression at 174,115, extended instructions at 11,865, physics at 958, random string sorting at 17,397, and prime number finding at 55. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 18,318, with a 72nd percentile ranking across all CPUs.

Without any recorded scores for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, no direct wins can be assigned to either side. The data indicates that the Intel Core i3-14100 has measurable, verified performance in every category the database tracks, whereas the AMD part remains an unmeasured entry. The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i3-14100 show how tightly packed the mid-range desktop field is: the Intel Core 3 305 scores 18,302, a delta of 0.1% above the i3-14100; the Intel Core 5 330 scores 18,345, a delta of -0.1%; the Intel Core 7 360 scores 18,374, a delta of -0.3%; and the Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18,380, a delta of -0.3%. These margins, all under a third of a percentage point, suggest that the i3-14100 sits in a very competitive tier where small score differences separate adjacent models.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO generation built on Zen 5. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die composed of two chiplets, each measuring 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i3-14100 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a monolithic 163 mm² die. The process node difference is stark: 4 nm versus 10 nm, which implies the AMD part can pack more transistors into a smaller area, though the database does not list transistor counts for either chip.

Core counts diverge sharply. The AMD processor offers 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel processor offers 4 cores and 8 threads. This is a 4x difference in core count and a 4x difference in thread count. Cache hierarchies also differ. Both share the same per-core L1 of 80 KB, but the L2 differs: AMD uses 1 MB per core, Intel uses 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache shows a major gap: AMD has 64 MB total, while Intel has 12 MB shared. That is over 5x more L3 cache on the AMD part.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The Intel chip has a higher base clock at 3.50 GHz compared to 3.10 GHz for AMD, but the AMD part boosts higher at 5.20 GHz versus 4.70 GHz for Intel. The Intel chip carries a higher TDP at 60 watts versus 55 watts for AMD, despite having far fewer cores, which suggests the AMD design achieves its core count within a lower thermal envelope.

Memory architecture is another major split. AMD supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel bus, delivering 273.1 GB/s of bandwidth. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory, but the AMD memory controller is oriented toward high-bandwidth mobile use, while Intel's is a conventional desktop dual-channel design.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. AMD provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 8065S, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The market segments are distinct as well: AMD is listed as Mobile, Intel as Desktop. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket FP11, Intel uses Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The recorded data allows only a one-sided verdict. The Intel Core i3-14100 has a complete benchmark profile with an average score of 18,318 and a 72nd percentile ranking, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile that reflects missing data. From a pure measurement standpoint, the Intel part is the only one with verified performance in the database.

The architectural comparison, however, suggests the AMD part is designed for a different workload profile entirely. Its 16 cores and 32 threads, 64 MB of L3 cache, quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth, and 5.20 GHz boost clock point to a high-end mobile processor aimed at heavily threaded tasks and memory-bandwidth-sensitive applications. The Intel part, with 4 cores, 8 threads, 12 MB of L3 cache, dual-channel memory, and a 4.70 GHz boost, is a conventional entry-level desktop chip.

The verdict from the data: the Intel Core i3-14100 is a proven, measured quantity in the database, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 cannot be evaluated for performance yet because no measurements exist. Any decision between them rests on the architectural specifications, not on benchmark results, until the AMD part receives recorded scores.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-14100 wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,820 and single-core score of 1,809, its Geekbench multicore of 7,231 and single-core of 2,133, and its PassMark multithread of 15,095 and single-thread of 3,759 all stand as verified results. It also wins on base clock (3.50 GHz versus 3.10 GHz), on process maturity for desktop use, and on PCIe generation (Gen 5 versus Gen 4). Its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, placing it in a tightly contested tier where it holds its own.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 wins on specifications that the Intel part cannot match: core count (16 versus 4), threads (32 versus 8), L3 cache (64 MB versus 12 MB), memory bandwidth (273.1 GB/s versus no recorded figure), boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.70 GHz), and process node (4 nm versus 10 nm). It also has a larger die configuration with two chiplets at 70.6 mm² each, a lower TDP (55 watts versus 60 watts), and a higher-end integrated GPU (Radeon 8065S versus UHD Graphics 730). Its quad-channel memory bus and LPDDR5X support indicate a design aimed at bandwidth-intensive mobile workloads.

The data implies a clear split: the Intel Core i3-14100 is the measured performer in the database, with verified scores across every benchmark the database tracks. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is the specification leader on paper, with architectural advantages that suggest high multithreaded and memory-bandwidth potential, but no recorded results exist to confirm that potential. Until benchmark data is added for the AMD part, the Intel Core i3-14100 remains the only one of the two with demonstrable performance evidence.
