AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded benchmark scores for either the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS or the Intel Core i5-14401TE. Both processors have an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rivals listed. Consequently, a direct head-to-head comparison based on measured performance data is not possible at this time. The percentile versus all CPUs is identical for both parts, with each sitting at the 50th percentile. This indicates that, in the absence of actual test results, neither processor has an established performance ranking over the other in the database.

The absence of benchmark data means that all comparisons must rely on the recorded specification fields. The AMD part operates with a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. On paper, the AMD processor holds a 2.30 GHz advantage at base frequency and a 0.50 GHz advantage at boost frequency. However, clock speed alone does not determine real-world performance, as architectural efficiency and memory subsystem behavior also play significant roles. Without measured scores, any statement about which CPU is faster remains speculative.

The wins count for both processors is zero. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty. This means the database has not yet processed any comparative workloads between these two specific models. The analysis below therefore focuses on architectural and specification differences, which are fully documented, rather than on performance deltas that do not exist in the record.

Where Each One Wins

Because no benchmark wins are recorded, the analysis must pivot to the design intent and specification profile of each processor to infer where each would likely excel, based solely on the data available.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture on a 4 nm process node from TSMC. It is classified as a mobile segment processor with a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The high base clock, relative to the Intel part, suggests that the AMD chip is designed to sustain higher frequencies under continuous load, which is often advantageous for latency-sensitive or single-threaded workloads. Its integrated graphics, Radeon 760M, is a more substantial GPU block than the Intel UHD Graphics 730, indicating that the AMD processor may be better suited for workloads that offload some visual processing to the iGPU, such as lightweight media playback or basic graphical rendering.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process node from Intel. It is classified as a desktop segment processor with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The lower base clock, combined with a 45 W TDP identical to the AMD part, suggests that the Intel processor is tuned for efficiency at idle or low-load states, potentially drawing less power when not under stress. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving platform designers more flexibility in memory choice, particularly for cost-sensitive or legacy systems. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes offers higher bandwidth per lane for storage or expansion devices, which could benefit data-intensive applications.

In terms of production status, both are active. The AMD part released on 2024-04-01, and the Intel part released on 2024-06-30. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded, so no pricing comparison is possible.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Hawk Point, and belongs to the 8000 series. It is built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, with a transistor count of 25,000 million and a die size of 178 mm². The smaller process node and higher transistor density indicate that the AMD design integrates more logic per unit area, which typically supports higher clock speeds and better power efficiency under load.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². The transistor count is not recorded for the Intel part. The larger die size on a less advanced process node suggests that the Intel design uses more physical area to achieve its feature set, which often correlates with higher power draw at equivalent frequencies, though the TDP rating for both is listed as 45 W.

Cache hierarchies differ in both capacity and per-core allocation. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor therefore holds a larger cache at every level, which can reduce memory latency for frequently accessed data and improve performance in cache-resident workloads. However, the AMD processor's higher clock speeds may compensate in scenarios where memory latency is less critical.

The memory support also differs. The AMD part supports only DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. The AMD part therefore has a documented bandwidth advantage, while the Intel part offers broader compatibility.

Both processors support ECC memory, which is a notable feature for embedded and reliability-focused applications. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported for either part.
