AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core i5-14600T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains recorded benchmark scores only for the Intel Core i5-14600T; the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 currently has no benchmark entries or average score. This creates an asymmetric comparison where Intel's measured performance can be analyzed against its nearest rivals, while AMD's capabilities must be inferred from its specification sheet.

For the Intel Core i5-14600T, the strongest recorded results appear in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 22447 points. This places it in a competitive position among mid-range desktop processors. The single-core score of 3169 in the same test indicates solid per-thread performance, which is typical for a Raptor Lake Refresh design with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz.

In Geekbench, the Intel part records a multi-core score of 12840 and a single-core score of 2559. These numbers reflect a balanced processor that handles both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads without obvious weakness. The PassMark suite shows a multi-thread score of 26409, with integer math at 95112 and floating-point math at 64726. Data compression scores 301827, while encryption reaches 18226 and extended instructions hit 16985.

The Intel Core i5-14600T holds an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32707. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (a delta of 0%), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F scores 32750 (delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662 (delta 0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (delta -0.3%). This means the i5-14600T sits within a fraction of a percent of four other processors, indicating a highly competitive mid-range segment.

Because the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no benchmark scores in the database, there are no head-to-head wins to report for either part. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters show zero for both processors. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural differences and the Intel part's measured results.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14600T is a proven performer with a substantial benchmark footprint. Its 83rd percentile ranking places it above the majority of CPUs in the database, and its average score of 32707 is essentially tied with its four nearest rivals, all within 0.3% of each other. This indicates a well-rounded processor that delivers consistent results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark tests.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, lacking any benchmark data, cannot be evaluated on measured performance. The database shows zero scores and a 50th percentile ranking, which is a neutral placeholder rather than a reflection of actual capability. Prospective buyers should note this absence of recorded results.

For users who need a processor with verified performance data, the Intel Core i5-14600T is the only option with measurable evidence in this comparison. Its 14 cores and 20 threads, combined with a 35 W TDP and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, make it a sensible choice for desktop builds where power efficiency and proven multi-threaded performance are priorities. The AMD part, with 16 cores and 32 threads, a 55 W TDP, and a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz, appears promising on paper but lacks the benchmark validation to support any claims.

Architecture Differences

The two processors belong to different architectural families and target different market segments. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO (Zen 5) generation. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size listed as 2x 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i5-14600T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm².

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14600T wins in measured performance categories. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22447 and single-core score of 3169 demonstrate strong all-around rendering capability. The Geekbench multi-core score of 12840 and single-core score of 2559 indicate solid general-purpose computing. PassMark results across integer math (95112), floating-point math (64726), and multi-thread (26409) further support its utility in productivity workloads. The 35 W TDP makes it a power-efficient desktop option, and its 83rd percentile ranking places it well above the median CPU.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 wins on paper in several specification categories. It offers more cores (16 versus 14) and more threads (32 versus 20). Its L3 cache is substantially larger at 64 MB versus 24 MB. The memory bandwidth of 273.1 GB/s exceeds any recorded figure for the Intel part, which has no bandwidth listed. The 4 nm process node at TSMC suggests a more modern manufacturing approach compared to Intel's 10 nm node. The mobile form factor and 55 W TDP indicate a different use case, likely for high-performance laptops rather than desktop towers.

For users who prioritize verified performance, the Intel Core i5-14600T is the clear choice based on recorded data. Its benchmark scores are consistent across multiple test suites, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, confirming its position in a tightly competitive segment. For users who prioritize raw specifications such as core count, cache size, and memory bandwidth, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 presents a compelling theoretical profile, but the absence of benchmark data means its real-world performance remains unverified in the database.
