AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS and Intel Core i7-14701E are both 8-core, 16-thread processors, but the recorded data positions them for entirely different workloads. The Intel Core i7-14701E is the clear performance leader, holding an 83rd percentile rank across all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 33,206, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores. The Intel part also posts a substantial advantage in platform connectivity, offering PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes compared to the AMD's PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes.

For users needing maximum compute throughput, the Intel Core i7-14701E is the only choice with available performance data. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (0% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS (-0.1%), AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (0.3%), and Intel Core i7-13650HX (0.4%), placing it in a tightly contested performance tier. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, despite its newer 4 nm process and higher base clock, has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning its real-world performance cannot be quantified here.

The choice breaks down by platform: the Intel part targets desktop Socket 1700 systems with a 65 W TDP, while the AMD part is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8 with a 45 W TDP. The AMD chip integrates Radeon 780M graphics, whereas Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not an option for either.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701E wins in every measurable category because it is the only one of the two with benchmark data. Its Cinebench scores show strong multi-threaded performance: 2,237 in R15 multi-core, 9,321 in R20 multi-core, and 22,195 in R23 multi-core. Single-core results are equally solid at 315 in R15, 1,315 in R20, and 3,133 in R23. PassMark results reinforce this, with a multi-thread score of 26,112 and a single-thread score of 4,305.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS wins on architectural efficiency and platform traits. It uses a 4 nm TSMC process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, compared to Intel's 10 nm process with a 257 mm² die. The AMD part operates at a 3.80 GHz base clock versus Intel's 2.60 GHz, though Intel's 5.40 GHz boost clock edges out AMD's 5.10 GHz. The AMD processor also delivers a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part's memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. Both support ECC memory and dual-channel configurations, but AMD supports only DDR5 while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

For embedded and mobile deployments, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS offers a lower 45 W TDP, which suits thermally constrained systems. The Intel Core i7-14701E, with its 65 W TDP and desktop socket, targets stationary workstations that can accommodate higher power draw.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, part of the 8000 series. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 25,000 million transistors and a die size of 178 mm². The Intel Core i7-14701E uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series. Intel manufactures it on a 10 nm process with a die size of 257 mm²; transistor count is not recorded.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. Intel's larger L3 cache more than doubles AMD's shared pool, which can benefit workloads with high data reuse.

Memory support diverges as well. AMD supports only DDR5 with dual-channel access and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel access, though its bandwidth figure is not listed. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity favors Intel with Gen 5 support across 16 CPU lanes, while AMD offers Gen 4 across 20 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon 780M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Release dates place AMD first at April 2024, with Intel following in June 2024. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. However, the Intel Core i7-14701E has a full set of recorded scores, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has none. This means all comparable performance figures come from the Intel part's benchmark suite.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i7-14701E scores 22,195 in multi-core and 3,133 in single-core. Cinebench R20 shows 9,321 multi-core and 1,315 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 2,237 multi-core and 315 single-core. These results indicate strong scaling from single-threaded to multi-threaded workloads, with the multi-core scores roughly 7 times the single-core scores across all three Cinebench versions.

PassMark results for the Intel part cover a broad range of workloads. The multi-thread score is 26,112, and the single-thread score is 4,305. Integer math scores 81,325, while floating-point math scores 61,873. Data compression scores 282,939, and data encryption scores 14,862. Extended instructions score 18,528, find prime numbers scores 176, physics scores 2,399, and random string sorting scores 29,158.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database include AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H with an average score of 33,201 and a 0% delta, AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS with 33,244 and a -0.1% delta, AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX with 33,091 and a 0.3% delta, and Intel Core i7-13650HX with 33,089 and a 0.4% delta. These tight delta percentages, all within 0.5% of the Intel Core i7-14701E's average score of 33,206, indicate a highly competitive performance cluster.

Because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS has no benchmark scores, its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed. The data cannot support any performance comparison between the two beyond the fact that Intel has measurable results and AMD does not.

The specification table shows clear trade-offs. AMD offers a smaller, denser chip with higher base clock and memory bandwidth, plus more PCIe lanes albeit on Gen 4. Intel offers a larger die with more cache per core, more L3 cache, higher boost clock, PCIe Gen 5, and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The two processors target different sockets and market segments, with AMD in mobile and Intel in desktop. Both support ECC memory and neither is overclockable.
