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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark results for the Intel Core i7-14701TE, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no benchmark entries in this dataset. This creates an asymmetric comparison: the Intel processor has 17 recorded benchmark scores across Cinebench and Passmark test suites, while the AMD processor's performance must be inferred from its architectural characteristics and percentile ranking rather than direct measurements.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE achieves an average benchmark score of 26013, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database are all AMD processors: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 scores 25981 (0.1% behind the Intel part), the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26106 (0.4% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25880 (0.5% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187 (0.7% ahead). These deltas are remarkably tight, with the entire cluster of five processors falling within a 1.2% performance band.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U sits at the 50th percentile of all CPUs in the database, a full 28 percentile points below the Intel Core i7-14701TE. This percentile gap suggests that, based on the database's ranking methodology, the Intel processor occupies a meaningfully higher performance tier despite both parts sharing the same 8-core, 16-thread configuration.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i7-14701TE records a multicore score of 17035 and a singlecore score of 2405. The single-core result indicates strong per-thread performance, consistent with its 5.20 GHz boost clock. In Cinebench R20, the same processor scores 7154 multicore and 1010 singlecore. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1716 multicore and 242 singlecore.

Passmark results for the Intel part show a multithread score of 20042 and a single-thread score of 2637. The integer math workload scores 65792, while floating point math scores 50219. Extended instructions processing scores 14354. Data compression throughput reaches 220520, and data encryption scores 11699. Prime number finding scores 143, physics processing scores 1860, and random string sorting scores 22760.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE demonstrates its strengths through measured benchmark scores in every recorded test category. Its single-thread performance is notable: a Cinebench R23 singlecore score of 2405 and a Passmark single-thread score of 2637 indicate robust per-core capability. This matters for workloads that depend on one or two heavily utilized threads rather than scaling across all cores.

The Intel part also shows strong multicore throughput in the database. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035 and Passmark multithread score of 20042 confirm that all 16 threads can be put to productive use. Data compression at 220520 and integer math at 65792 are the highest recorded scores in the Intel benchmark set, suggesting particular aptitude for these workload types.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U has no direct benchmark scores in the database, so its performance profile cannot be quantified from measurements. Its 50th percentile ranking places it in the middle of the CPU performance distribution, substantially below the Intel part's 78th percentile. The AMD processor's 5.10 GHz boost clock is close to the Intel's 5.20 GHz, but the Intel part's higher percentile indicates better overall measured performance in the database.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE's power envelope is 45 W TDP, which is 17 W higher than the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U's 28 W TDP. The AMD part belongs to the mobile market segment, while the Intel part is a desktop processor. These segment differences affect where each processor would logically be deployed, though the database does not contain workload-specific performance tests for the AMD part.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U uses the Zen 4 architecture on the Hawk Point codename, built on TSMC's 4 nm process node. It contains 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die size. The Intel part's transistor count is not listed in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ notably between the two parts. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part offers more cache at every level: 25% more L1 per core, double the L2 per core, and more than double the L3 cache.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory through a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel bus, though its memory bandwidth figure is not recorded in the database. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCI Express connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, which represents a newer PCIe standard generation but fewer CPU-attached lanes.

The integrated graphics solutions are different. AMD uses the Radeon 780M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Process node and foundry also differ: AMD uses a 4 nm TSMC process, while Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry.

The AMD processor's socket is AMD Socket FP8, indicating a mobile platform. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning neither supports unlocked overclocking. The AMD part was released on 2024-04-01, while the Intel part followed on 2024-06-30. The Intel part has a recorded part number of Q49GSRNJL, while the AMD part's part number is listed as unknown.

The Verdict

The recorded data points clearly to the Intel Core i7-14701TE as the higher-performing processor in the database. Its 78th percentile ranking versus the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U's 50th percentile represents a substantial gap in measured performance distribution. The Intel part delivers benchmark scores across all 17 recorded tests, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035 and singlecore score of 2405, while the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores.

The Intel processor's 33 MB of L3 cache, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 5.20 GHz boost clock provide architectural advantages that align with its higher percentile ranking. Its support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity offer platform flexibility. The AMD processor counters with a lower 28 W TDP, smaller 178 mm² die on a 4 nm TSMC process, and 89.6 GB/s of recorded memory bandwidth.

The market segment distinction is decisive for deployment context. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8840U targets mobile and embedded applications where its 28 W TDP and FP8 socket fit compact, power-conscious designs. The Intel Core i7-14701TE targets desktop systems where its 45 W TDP and Socket 1700 platform are appropriate. Users with workloads matching the Intel part's measured strengths in multithreaded and single-threaded performance should select it based on the database results. The AMD part's performance cannot be directly quantified from this dataset, so its selection would rest on its architectural characteristics rather than measured benchmark outcomes. The percentile ranking suggests the Intel part occupies a higher performance tier, and the benchmark data confirms strong results across every recorded test category.
