AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core i5-14400 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing, meaning there are zero recorded wins for either processor in direct comparison tests. The available recorded data for the Intel Core i5-14400 comes from its individual benchmark suite, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no benchmark scores listed in the database at all. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible from the recorded measurements.

What the data does show is where the Intel Core i5-14400 stands on its own. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21315 in multicore and 3009 in singlecore. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 8952 multicore and 1263 singlecore. The older Cinebench R15 run yields 2148 multicore and 303 singlecore. Geekbench results show 9807 multicore and 1905 singlecore. PassMark results are extensive: multithread at 25080, single thread at 3741, integer math at 82017, floating point math at 61549, extended instructions at 19816, data compression at 314995, data encryption at 16731, find prime numbers at 80, random string sorting at 32346, and physics at 1396.

The Intel chip carries a percentile ranking of 82 against all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32115. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-12800H at an average score of 32121 with a 0 percent delta, the Intel Core i7-13705H at 32076 with a 0.1 percent delta, the Intel Core i5-14450HX at 32040 with a 0.2 percent delta, and the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 with a negative 0.3 percent delta. These figures place the i5-14400 in a tightly packed performance cluster where the separation between the closest competitors is less than a third of a percent. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, by contrast, has a percentile of 50 and an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, reflecting the absence of recorded benchmark data for that part.

Because the head-to-head array is empty, the biggest wins for either side cannot be quantified from direct comparison tests. The only concrete benchmark numbers available belong to the Intel processor, and those confirm it as a solid mid-range performer in its own right.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies and market segments. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC, while the Intel Core i5-14400 uses a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel. The AMD part is built on the Gorgon Halo codename with a Zen 5 generation designation, whereas Intel uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename under the Core 14th Gen series.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel processor has 10 cores and 16 threads. That is 6 more cores and 16 more threads on the AMD side. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD part runs at a 3.10 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.20 GHz, while the Intel part runs at a 2.50 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.70 GHz. The AMD chip has a higher base clock by 0.60 GHz and a higher boost clock by 0.50 GHz.

Cache configurations are structured differently. Both processors list 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core and 64 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 1.25 MB of L2 per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD chip carries 44 MB more L3 cache, while the Intel chip has 0.25 MB more L2 per core. The die size for the AMD processor is listed as 2x 70.6 mm², while the Intel die is 215 mm². The AMD processor uses a mobile market segment with an AMD Socket FP11, and the Intel processor is a desktop part using Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support diverges completely. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory with a quad-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel memory bus and no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory. PCI Express support also differs: the AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor includes a Radeon 8065S, while the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part is not multiplier unlocked, and neither is the Intel part. The release dates are far apart: the AMD processor launched on 2026-05-19, and the Intel processor launched on 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Where Each One Wins

Without head-to-head benchmark entries, the recorded data cannot assign wins in direct tests. However, the specification data and the Intel-only benchmark results provide a basis for use-case analysis.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 brings a 16-core, 32-thread configuration, which in a mobile segment context suggests capacity for heavily threaded workloads. Its 64 MB of L3 cache is significantly larger than the Intel part's 20 MB, and its 273.1 GB/s memory bandwidth with quad-channel LPDDR5X support indicates a design favoring memory-intensive tasks such as large data sets, compilation workloads, or creative applications that scale with memory throughput. The 5.20 GHz boost clock is also the highest recorded boost frequency between the two, which could benefit lightly threaded tasks that depend on a single core reaching maximum speed.

The Intel Core i5-14400 is a desktop part with 10 cores and 16 threads. Its recorded benchmark scores show strength in single-threaded tests: a PassMark single thread score of 3741, a Cinebench R23 singlecore score of 3009, and a Geekbench singlecore score of 1905. Its multicore scores are substantial for a desktop mid-range processor, with a PassMark multithread score of 25080 and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21315. The 82nd percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database places it above the median performer, and its average benchmark score of 32115 confirms it sits in a competitive range among its nearest rivals.

The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which gives platform flexibility. It also uses PCIe Gen 5, a newer generation than the AMD part's Gen 4, which matters for storage devices or expansion cards that can use the additional bandwidth. The Intel processor's die size of 215 mm² is a single larger die compared to the AMD part's dual 70.6 mm² dies, though the AMD part is built on a smaller 4 nm process.

The Verdict

The data supports different conclusions for different buyers. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is the higher-specification part on paper: more cores, more threads, higher clocks, more L3 cache, faster memory bandwidth, and a smaller process node. It is also a mobile part, which means it is designed for systems where power efficiency and integration matter. Its 55 TDP and LPDDR5X memory support reinforce that positioning. Buyers who need a mobile processor with maximum thread count and memory bandwidth should look at the AMD part based on the recorded specifications.

The Intel Core i5-14400 is a desktop processor with a 65 TDP and a recorded benchmark history. Its 82nd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 32115 show it performs competitively within the database's CPU population. Its nearest rivals are all within a 0.3 percent delta in average score, which indicates the i5-14400 is a tightly matched competitor in its performance class. The dual memory support for DDR4 and DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity give it platform advantages for desktop builders who want to choose their memory type or use current-generation expansion slots.

The AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its real-world performance cannot be verified from the recorded data. The Intel part has a full suite of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark results. For anyone relying strictly on measured performance data, the Intel Core i5-14400 is the only option with evidence of actual benchmark results. For anyone comparing specifications alone, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 offers the larger core count, higher clocks, and larger cache.
