AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 vs Intel Core i7-14700F Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 and Intel Core i7-14700F occupy fundamentally different positions in the benchmark database. The Intel part has recorded benchmark scores across 19 tests, while the AMD processor currently has no benchmark entries in the database, giving it a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs. The i7-14700F sits at the 91st percentile, a substantial gap that reflects the availability of measured performance data.

The Intel Core i7-14700F dominates in every measured category because it is the only one with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,122 places it well above average, while its single-core score of 4,958 indicates strong per-thread performance. In Geekbench, the multi-core score of 19,620 and single-core score of 2,429 show balanced capability. The Passmark suite reveals specific strengths: integer math at 155,808, floating point math at 107,005, and multithread at 41,317.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded wins in the database because no benchmark scores exist for it. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, which means the database cannot yet compare its performance against any rival. The processor's percentile ranking of 50 is a neutral placeholder, not a performance indicator.

For workloads that benefit from many cores, the Intel i7-14700F shows strong results in multi-threaded tests. Its Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 3,540 and R20 multi-core score of 14,751 confirm scaling across its 20 cores and 28 threads. The Passmark data compression score of 505,885 and encryption score of 30,144 suggest solid throughput for content creation and security-related tasks.

For single-threaded workloads, the i7-14700F delivers competitive results. The Passmark single-thread score of 4,257, combined with Cinebench R15 single-core at 499 and R20 single-core at 2,082, indicates responsive performance for everyday applications.

The AMD part's architecture suggests it could be competitive, with 16 cores and 32 threads, a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, and a 64 MB L3 cache. However, without recorded benchmark data, the database cannot confirm any wins for this processor.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use completely different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel Core i7-14700F uses a 10 nm process at Intel. This process node difference gives AMD a potential efficiency advantage, as smaller process nodes typically allow for lower power consumption at similar performance levels.

The AMD processor uses the Gorgon Halo codename and belongs to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO series based on Zen 5 architecture. It has 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with Raptor Lake architecture. It has 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The AMD processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core, while its L3 cache is 33 MB shared across all cores. The AMD's larger L3 cache could benefit workloads with high data reuse, while Intel's larger per-core L2 may help with latency-sensitive tasks.

Memory support diverges sharply. The AMD processor supports LPDDR5X memory in a quad-channel configuration, providing 273.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, with no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. The AMD's quad-channel LPDDR5X setup offers substantially higher theoretical memory bandwidth, which matters for memory-intensive workloads.

PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The newer Gen 5 standard offers higher bandwidth per lane, though the AMD's lower lane generation may still suffice for many applications.

Integrated graphics separate the two. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 includes a Radeon 8065S integrated GPU, while the Intel Core i7-14700F has no integrated graphics at all. This makes the AMD part viable for systems without a discrete GPU, a notable distinction for compact or mobile builds.

The AMD processor targets the mobile market segment and uses AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel processor targets desktop and uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has a TDP of 55 watts, lower than Intel's 65 watts. Die size also differs: the AMD uses a 2x 70.6 mm² configuration, while Intel uses a single 257 mm² die.

Release dates show the AMD part arriving later, with a release date of May 19, 2026, versus January 7, 2024, for the Intel part. Both support ECC memory and have locked multipliers. The AMD part number is 100-000002124, while the Intel part number is SRN3Z.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The winsA and winsB fields both show 0. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. This means no direct comparison tests have been recorded.

However, the Intel Core i7-14700F has standalone benchmark scores that can be examined. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35,122 stands out, as does its Geekbench multi-core score of 19,620. The Passmark suite shows a multithread score of 41,317, with integer math at 155,808 and floating point math at 107,005.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance. The Intel Xeon 6505P has an average score of 53,701, which is 0.2 percent lower than the i7-14700F's average of 53,620. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53,469, 0.3 percent higher than the i7-14700F. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53,288, 0.6 percent higher, and the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53,206, 0.8 percent higher. These small deltas indicate the i7-14700F sits in a competitive cluster, slightly trailing the Xeon 6505P but ahead of the Xeon Phi 7290.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no benchmark scores, no nearest rivals, and no average score. Its percentile rank of 50 reflects this lack of data rather than any measured performance. Until benchmarks are recorded, the database cannot place this processor relative to the i7-14700F or any other CPU.

The Verdict

The data presents an incomplete comparison. The Intel Core i7-14700F has extensive recorded benchmark results, placing it at the 91st percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 53,620 places it near the Intel Xeon 6505P, Intel Xeon Phi 7290, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, and AMD EPYC 7313P, with all five processors within a 0.8 percent range.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded benchmarks, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder. The database cannot confirm any performance claim for this processor.

For users requiring measured performance data, the Intel Core i7-14700F is the only option with verified scores. Its 20 cores and 28 threads, boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and 33 MB of L3 cache support its recorded multi-threaded and single-threaded results. The processor targets desktop systems with dual-channel DDR4 or DDR5 memory.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 offers a different specification set: 16 cores and 32 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost clock, 64 MB of L3 cache, quad-channel LPDDR5X memory with 273.1 GB/s bandwidth, and integrated Radeon 8065S graphics. Its mobile segment focus and lower TDP of 55 watts suggest efficiency-oriented design. The larger L3 cache and higher memory bandwidth could serve memory-intensive workloads well, but the database lacks evidence to confirm this.

The release dates matter for context. The Intel part has been available since January 7, 2024, while the AMD part's release date is May 19, 2026. This two-year gap means the Intel processor has had time to accumulate benchmark data, while the AMD processor may not yet be widely available for testing.

The verdict from the database is straightforward: the Intel Core i7-14700F has proven performance data and holds the 91st percentile. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 has no recorded performance data, leaving its capabilities unverified. Users who need confirmed benchmark results should rely on the Intel processor. Users considering the AMD processor must wait for benchmark data to appear in the database before making a performance-based decision.
