AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS and the Intel Core i7-14701TE shows a clear division of strengths. The Intel part is the higher-scoring processor overall, holding a 78th percentile rank among all CPUs versus the AMD part's 50th percentile. The Intel Core i7-14701TE is the pick for multi-threaded workloads, with substantially higher recorded benchmark scores in every multi-core test. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, however, offers a different set of advantages that are not captured in raw benchmark scores: a smaller manufacturing node, a newer architecture, and a mobile platform with integrated Radeon graphics. The data indicates the Intel processor is the performance leader in the recorded tests, while the AMD processor is the more modern and power-efficient design on paper, suited for embedded mobile applications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Hawk Point, and is built by TSMC on a 4 nm process. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake Refresh, and is built by Intel on a 10 nm process. The AMD chip has a smaller die size at 178 mm², while the Intel chip measures 257 mm². AMD lists 25,000 million transistors; Intel does not report a transistor count in the database.

The core configurations differ. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD base clock is 4.30 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz. The Intel base clock is much lower at 2.10 GHz, but its boost clock is higher at 5.20 GHz. Both parts are locked, and both support ECC memory.

Cache layouts are distinct. AMD uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has more cache at every level.

Memory support diverges. AMD supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database has no bandwidth figure for it. The PCIe interface differs as well: AMD uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

The integrated graphics are different. AMD includes a Radeon 760M, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor is classified as a mobile part on Socket FP8, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Socket 1700. The Intel release date is later, June 30, 2024, versus April 1, 2024, for AMD.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two specific processors. However, the Intel Core i7-14701TE has a full set of recorded benchmark scores, and its nearest rivals provide context for its performance level.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17035 and a single-core score of 2405. In Cinebench R20, it scores 7154 multi-core and 1010 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1716 multi-core and 242 single-core.

In PassMark tests, the Intel part shows strong results across the board. Its multi-thread score is 20042, and its single-thread score is 2637. The integer math score is 65792, while floating point math scores 50219. Data compression scores 220520, and data encryption scores 11699. Extended instructions score 14354, and finding prime numbers scores 143. Physics scores 1860, and random string sorting scores 22760.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i7-14701TE, based on average benchmark score, are all AMD parts. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 has an average score of 25981, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS has an average score of 26106, which is 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25880, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, which is 0.7% lower. These deltas are all within one percent, indicating that the Intel Core i7-14701TE performs in the same tier as these current AMD mobile parts, despite having a different core count and architecture.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS has no recorded benchmarks and no nearest rivals in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, and it holds a 50th percentile rank. The data therefore does not provide direct performance measurements for the AMD part, and its competitive position is defined by its specifications rather than test results.

The Intel part's nearest rivals show that it competes directly with AMD's Ryzen AI 5 and Ryzen 5 series. The largest delta is 0.7% below the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U, and the largest advantage is 0.5% above the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE. This places the Intel Core i7-14701TE in a tight performance band where no single processor has a decisive edge in average score.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins wherever recorded benchmark scores matter. Its 78th percentile rank and average score of 26013 are the only measured performance data available in the database. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17035 and the PassMark multi-thread score of 20042 indicate strong parallel workload capability, supported by 8 cores, 16 threads, and 33 MB of L3 cache. The single-thread scores of 2405 in Cinebench R23 and 2637 in PassMark show that its high 5.20 GHz boost clock delivers in lightly threaded tasks as well. The wide range of PassMark scores, from integer and floating point math to data compression and encryption, demonstrates broad applicability across compute-heavy embedded or desktop workloads.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS wins on architectural efficiency and platform features. Its 4 nm process node is smaller than Intel's 10 nm node, and its die size is 79 mm² smaller. It uses the newer Zen 4 architecture and is built by TSMC. Its base clock of 4.30 GHz is more than double the Intel base clock, which may translate to better sustained performance at lower power states, though power figures are not recorded in the database. The AMD part also supports the newer PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes, and its Radeon 760M integrated graphics may differ in capability from the Intel UHD Graphics 770, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded.

For memory flexibility, the Intel part wins by supporting both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part is DDR5 only. The Intel part also has more cache at every level, which typically benefits workloads that reuse data.

For embedded mobile deployment, the AMD part is the relevant choice due to its mobile market segment and Socket FP8. The Intel part is a desktop segment processor on Socket 1700. The AMD part also has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no such figure.

The data shows that the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the stronger performer in measured tests, and its nearest rivals are all AMD processors with nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8645HS, lacking benchmark entries, cannot be placed in the same performance comparison. Its advantages are in manufacturing process, architecture generation, platform mobility, and a higher base clock. The choice between them depends on whether the requirement is measured benchmark performance, where Intel leads, or a smaller, newer, mobile-oriented embedded design, where AMD is positioned.
