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 a mobile-market part that uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, and it has a die size listed as 2x 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i5-14500T is a desktop part from the Core 14th Gen series, using the Raptor Lake-R codename and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It uses a 10 nm process from Intel and has a die size of 215 mm².

Cache organization differs notably. The AMD chip provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a large 64 MB L3 cache. The Intel chip matches the L1 at 80 KB per core, but increases L2 to 1.25 MB per core and reduces L3 to 24 MB shared. The AMD part has no extra 3D V-Cache, and the same applies to the Intel part. The L3 difference is substantial: 64 MB versus 24 MB, a 40 MB gap that can affect workloads with large working sets.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses LPDDR5X with a quad-channel bus, yielding 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel Core i5-14500T supports both DDR4 and DDR5 but only on a dual-channel bus, and no bandwidth number is recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 8065S, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770.

The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. The Intel part was released in January 2024, while the AMD part carries a release date of May 2026. Both are active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the Intel Core i5-14500T, but no benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts for both sides stand at zero. This means a direct comparison using recorded test scores is not possible from the available data. The analysis must instead rely on architectural specifications and the Intel part's absolute scores.

Focusing on the Intel Core i5-14500T's recorded performance, the data shows strong multi-threaded results. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score reaches 11790, while the single-core score is 1838. Cinebench R20 shows 8177 multicore and 1154 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 2022 multicore and 252 single-core. Geekbench reports 11894 multicore and 2229 single-core. PassMark multithread sits at 22910, and single-thread at 3736. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 28065.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database provide context. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE has an average score of 28054, a delta of 0% against the Intel chip. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G scores 28032, with a delta of 0.1%. The Intel Core i9-12900H scores 28003, with a delta of 0.2%. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 scores 28128, with a delta of -0.2%. These deltas are all within 0.2%, indicating that the Intel Core i5-14500T performs nearly identically to these four rivals in overall average benchmark score.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded benchmarks, its percentile rank of 50 versus the Intel part's 80 is the only comparative metric available. The Intel part sits in the 80th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 50th percentile. This suggests that, based on the database's current data, the Intel part has a higher standing among all CPUs, but the lack of AMD scores means this is not a direct performance comparison.

The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11790 is a useful reference point. Its single-core score of 1838 is also recorded. For context, the R20 multicore score of 8177 and the Geekbench multicore score of 11894 are within a similar range. The PassMark integer math score of 80922 and floating point math score of 58869 show strong arithmetic throughput. Data compression scores 262417, while data encryption scores 15410. Extended instructions score 16043, and find prime numbers scores 81. Random string sorting scores 28462, and physics scores 1288.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates that the Intel Core i5-14500T is the only one of these two processors with any benchmark results. It holds an 80th percentile rank across all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28065. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. Based strictly on the database, the Intel part is the one with measurable performance data, and it performs closely to its nearest rivals, all within 0.2% delta.

The AMD part does offer architectural advantages on paper: 2 more cores, 12 more threads, a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.80 GHz, a larger 64 MB L3 cache, and significantly higher memory bandwidth at 273.1 GB/s. However, none of these are reflected in benchmark scores within the database. The Intel part has a smaller TDP at 35 watts versus 55 watts, and it uses a dual-channel memory bus versus the AMD part's quad-channel.

For a buyer or analyst relying on recorded measurements, the Intel Core i5-14500T is the only option with verified performance data. Its nearest rival deltas, all between -0.2% and 0.2%, show that it trades blows with the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, Intel Core i9-12900H, and AMD Ryzen AI 5 435. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 cannot be recommended based on measurements, as none exist. The verdict is straightforward: the Intel part has the data to support its standing, while the AMD part does not.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 wins on raw architectural headroom. It has 16 cores and 32 threads, which is a 2-core and 12-thread advantage over the Intel part. Its boost clock of 5.20 GHz is 0.40 GHz higher. Its 64 MB L3 cache is 40 MB larger, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access large datasets. Its memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s on a quad-channel bus is a clear advantage for memory-intensive tasks, and the 4 nm process node from TSMC offers a smaller die size at 2x 70.6 mm².

The Intel Core i5-14500T wins on measured performance data. It has a full suite of benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11790, a Geekbench multicore score of 11894, and a PassMark multithread score of 22910. Its average benchmark score of 28065 places it at the 80th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G, Intel Core i9-12900H, and AMD Ryzen AI 5 435, are all within 0.2% delta, showing consistent performance in its class. The Intel part also has a lower TDP at 35 watts, and its PCIe Gen 5 support offers newer interconnect technology. The Intel part is a desktop part with a recorded launch MSRP of $232.

For use-case selection, the data supports the Intel part for any scenario where verified benchmark results matter. The AMD part is only viable if the architectural specifications, such as core count, cache size, or memory bandwidth, are prioritized over recorded performance, because no benchmark data exists for it.
