AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U and the Intel Core i7-14701E. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both processors stand at zero. Consequently, any performance differentiation must be derived from the available standalone benchmark results, architectural specifications, and the Intel processor's nearest rival comparisons.

The Intel Core i7-14701E has a complete benchmark profile across Cinebench and Passmark suites. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 22,195, while the single-core score is 3,133. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 9,321 and the single-core result is 1,315. The Cinebench R15 multicore score is 2,237, with a single-core score of 315. These results place the processor at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 33,206.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. This absence of measured results means the data cannot confirm any performance advantage for the AMD part in direct computation tests.

The Intel processor's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H shows an average score of 33,201, which is a delta of 0 percent compared to the Intel Core i7-14701E. The AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33,244, placing it 0.1 percent ahead of the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33,091, which is 0.3 percent behind. The Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33,089, also 0.3 percent behind. These narrow deltas indicate the Intel Core i7-14701E sits within a tightly clustered performance band among these competing processors.

The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multicore result of 22,195 demonstrates substantial multi-threaded capacity, and the single-core result of 3,133 indicates strong single-thread performance. In Passmark tests, the integer math score is 81,325, floating point math is 61,873, and extended instructions score 18,528. Data compression reaches 282,939, while data encryption is 14,862. The multithread score is 26,112, and the single-thread score is 4,305. Random string sorting yields 29,158, and physics processing records 2,399. The find prime numbers test records 176.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U, lacking any benchmark scores, cannot be positioned against these figures. The database records no measurements for the AMD part, so no comparative statements about its performance relative to the Intel processor are possible. The Intel processor's percentile ranking of 83 against all CPUs in the database suggests it performs above the median, while the AMD part's percentile of 50 places it at the median of the database's CPU population, though this percentile is derived from an average score of zero, which limits its interpretive value.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701E wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. The Cinebench suite shows consistent multi-core and single-core results across R15, R20, and R23 versions. The Passmark suite adds scores for integer math, floating point math, extended instructions, data compression, data encryption, multithread workloads, single-thread workloads, random string sorting, physics, and prime number finding. Each of these tests indicates the Intel part's capability in that specific workload type.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmark scores. The database shows zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part in the head-to-head array. The Intel part's standalone benchmarks, however, provide a full picture of its performance envelope, and the AMD part provides none.

Workload segmentation based on the Intel data shows strengths in specific areas. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22,195, compared to the single-core score of 3,133, indicates a strong scaling ratio for multi-threaded applications. The Passmark multithread score of 26,112 versus the single-thread score of 4,305 reinforces this pattern. The data compression score of 282,939 is the highest recorded Passmark figure for this processor, suggesting particular strength in compression workloads. Integer math at 81,325 and floating point math at 61,873 show a 31.4 percent advantage for integer operations. Extended instructions at 18,528 and data encryption at 14,862 show a 24.7 percent advantage for extended instruction workloads over encryption.

The AMD part's architecture, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, matches the Intel part's core and thread counts. Both processors support ECC memory, and both have integrated graphics. The AMD Radeon 780M versus the Intel UHD Graphics 770 indicates different integrated graphics solutions, but no benchmark data exists for either GPU in this comparison.
