AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits cleanly between the two processors, but only one of them actually has benchmark scores in the database. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 ships with no recorded benchmark entries, a zero average benchmark score, and a percentile of 50 among all CPUs tracked. The Intel Core i5-14450HX, by contrast, carries 17 benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark workloads, an average score of 32040, and a percentile of 82.

That asymmetry defines the use-case split. The Intel part wins every measured workload category because it is the only part with measurements. In multi-threaded rendering, the i5-14450HX posts 20108 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 8445 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. In single-threaded tasks, it records 2838 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 1191 in Cinebench R20 single-core. For data processing, Passmark shows 278538 in data compression, 15574 in data encryption, and 17207 in extended instructions. For mathematical workloads, it delivers 58037 in floating point math and 78330 in integer math. For memory or sorting tasks, it scores 29565 in random string sorting. For physics simulation, the score is 1475.

The AMD part, despite its 16 cores and 32 threads versus Intel's 10 cores and 16 threads, has no recorded wins because no benchmark results exist in the database for it. The data indicates that the Intel i5-14450HX is the only processor here with verified performance numbers, so any use-case allocation based on measurements must assign all wins to Intel. The AMD chip's higher core count and thread count suggest potential for multi-threaded workloads, but the database contains no scores to confirm that potential.

The Verdict

From the data as recorded, the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the only processor with any performance evidence. Its percentile of 82 places it above 82 percent of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 sits at percentile 50 with no average score. The Intel part's nearest rivals, all within 0.6 percent of its average score, are the Intel Core i7-13705H at 32076 (0.1 percent lower), the Intel Core i5-14400 at 32115 (0.2 percent lower), the Intel Core i7-12800H at 32121 (0.3 percent lower), and the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32226 (0.6 percent lower). This means the i5-14450HX sits in a tightly packed performance cluster, essentially tied with those four chips.

For anyone choosing based on measured data, the Intel part is the defensible pick. It delivers verified scores across rendering, math, encryption, compression, and single-thread tests. The AMD chip offers more cores (16 versus 10), more threads (32 versus 16), a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.80 GHz), and a larger L3 cache (64 MB versus 20 MB), but none of those specifications translate into recorded benchmark results. The database shows no wins for AMD, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Therefore, the verdict from the data is straightforward: the Intel Core i5-14450HX is the only processor with demonstrated performance, and it holds a high percentile ranking among all CPUs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the AMD processor has no benchmark entries, the comparison relies entirely on the Intel i5-14450HX's recorded scores. The largest wins for Intel, in absolute terms, are in multi-threaded rendering and data compression. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108 is the highest single number in the dataset, followed by the Passmark data compression score of 278538. These two results indicate strong parallel throughput and data handling capability.

In single-threaded tests, the i5-14450HX records 2838 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 285 in Cinebench R15 single-core. The Passmark single-thread score is 3643. These numbers, while lower than the multi-threaded results, still represent the only single-thread measurements available. The Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 8445 and the Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2026 round out the rendering suite.

For mathematical workloads, the Passmark integer math score of 78330 exceeds the floating point math score of 58037, suggesting stronger integer performance. The extended instructions score of 17207 and the find prime numbers score of 98 show the i5-14450HX handles specialized instruction sets and prime number calculations, though the prime number score is notably low compared to other metrics. The random string sorting score of 29565 and the multithread score of 23680 complete the Passmark set. Data encryption at 15574 and physics at 1475 are the remaining recorded results.

Since the AMD chip has no scores, every one of these numbers represents a win for Intel by default. The data cannot show any AMD advantage because no AMD measurements exist. The largest margin, if one were to compare against a hypothetical zero, would be the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108 and the Passmark data compression score of 278538, but the database does not provide a basis for such a comparison beyond the absence of AMD data.
