AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS and the Intel Core i9-14901KE. Both processors show an average benchmark score of 0, and both hold a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs tracked in the database. With no head-to-head benchmark entries, no wins are recorded for either part, and the winsA and winsB fields both stand at zero.

This absence of measured scores means the performance relationship between these two processors cannot be established through direct numerical comparison. The data confirms both are active production parts, but their relative speed in workloads such as rendering, compilation, or gaming remains unquantified in the database. Any attempt to rank them against each other would require inference from architectural specifications rather than measured results, which the database does not support.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, belonging to the 8000 series and the Ryzen Embedded generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 25,000 million transistors spread across a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core i9-14901KE employs Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Core i9 generation. Intel fabricates this chip on a 10 nm process at its own foundry, with a die size of 257 mm²; the database lists no transistor count for the Intel part.

The cache structures differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor offers 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and a much larger 36 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel chip more than double the last-level cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets that frequently re-access data.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 memory exclusively, running on a dual-channel bus with a measured memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also on a dual-channel bus, but the database does not record a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory, which the database confirms for each.

PCIe connectivity differs in both generation and lane count. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe standard on the Intel side offers higher per-lane bandwidth, while the AMD side offers more total lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip uses the Radeon 780M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770.

The socket and market segment separate the two clearly. AMD uses Socket FP8 and targets the mobile segment, while Intel uses Socket 1700 and targets the desktop segment. The launch dates differ by roughly three months, with the AMD part released on April 1, 2024, and the Intel part released on June 30, 2024. The Intel processor has an unlocked multiplier, while the AMD processor does not.

Where Each One Wins

Without benchmark data, the database provides no measured wins for either processor. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, and the head-to-head benchmark list is empty. Consequently, no workload-specific advantage can be substantiated from the recorded numbers.

What the specifications suggest, however qualitative, is that the Intel part carries a larger L3 cache at 36 MB versus 16 MB, which typically aids data-heavy tasks. The AMD part counters with a smaller process node at 4 nm versus 10 nm, which generally improves power efficiency. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering flexibility in platform choice, while the AMD part is restricted to DDR5. The AMD part provides 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, while the Intel part provides 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, which trade off lane count against per-lane speed.

The mobile versus desktop positioning also matters. The AMD processor fits into the mobile segment with a 45 W TDP, while the Intel processor sits in the desktop segment with a 125 W TDP. The higher TDP on the Intel side typically allows sustained performance under load, but the database does not quantify that advantage with any benchmark scores. The integrated graphics also differ, with the Radeon 780M on the AMD side and UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel side, but no graphics benchmarks are recorded for either.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several recorded specification fields. The boost clock stands at 5.10 GHz for the AMD part and 5.80 GHz for the Intel part, a difference of 0.70 GHz. The base clock is identical at 3.80 GHz for both. The TDP differs significantly: 45 W for AMD versus 125 W for Intel.

The process node shows a clear split: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. The foundry also differs, with TSMC producing the AMD chip and Intel producing its own. Die size is 178 mm² for AMD and 257 mm² for Intel. The transistor count is listed only for AMD at 25,000 million; no figure is recorded for Intel.

Cache sizes diverge on every level. L1 cache is 64 KB per core for AMD and 80 KB per core for Intel. L2 cache is 1 MB per core for AMD and 2 MB per core for Intel. L3 cache is 16 MB shared for AMD and 36 MB shared for Intel. Memory support lists DDR5 for AMD, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s for AMD, with no value for Intel. PCIe generation differs: Gen 4 for AMD, Gen 5 for Intel. PCIe lanes are 20 for AMD and 16 for Intel.

The socket is AMD Socket FP8 for AMD and Intel Socket 1700 for Intel. The market segment is mobile for AMD and desktop for Intel. The multiplier is locked on AMD and unlocked on Intel. The part number is listed as unknown for AMD and as Q49DSRNJC for Intel. The release date is April 1, 2024, for AMD and June 30, 2024, for Intel. Both processors share 8 cores and 16 threads, and both support ECC memory.

The Verdict

The database records no benchmark scores for either processor, so a performance verdict cannot be derived from measured data. The average benchmark score is 0 for both, and the percentile rank is 50 for both, which places them at the midpoint of all CPUs tracked but provides no relative distinction.

The specification data points to different intended use cases. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS, with its 45 W TDP and mobile segment designation, is positioned for power-conscious embedded or portable systems. Its 4 nm process and 25,000 million transistors indicate a denser, more efficient design. The Intel Core i9-14901KE, with its 125 W TDP and desktop segment designation, targets full-size desktop platforms where power draw is less constrained. Its larger 36 MB L3 cache and 5.80 GHz boost clock suggest an orientation toward high-frequency performance.

The socket and platform differences are decisive for any selection. The AMD part uses Socket FP8, which locks it to AMD mobile platforms. The Intel part uses Socket 1700, which locks it to Intel desktop platforms. These are not interchangeable, and no adapter or compatibility is recorded. The choice between them is therefore primarily a platform decision, not a pure performance decision.

The Intel part offers an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking for users who seek manual tuning. The AMD part lacks this feature. The Intel part also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which allows builders to reuse older memory or adopt newer standards. The AMD part requires DDR5, which may raise platform cost but also ensures modern memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s.

For users who need PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel part is the only option, as the AMD part provides PCIe Gen 4. For users who need more PCIe lanes, the AMD part provides 20 lanes versus 16 on the Intel side. Neither specification set dominates the other across all dimensions.

The release dates differ by about three months, with the AMD part arriving on April 1, 2024, and the Intel part on June 30, 2024. Both are listed as active production parts, so neither is discontinued or end-of-life.

In the absence of benchmark results, the database supports a platform-based recommendation. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 8845HS suits systems built around AMD Socket FP8 with DDR5 memory and a lower power envelope. The Intel Core i9-14901KE suits systems built around Intel Socket 1700 with either DDR4 or DDR5 memory, a higher power allowance, and a preference for PCIe Gen 5. No measured performance claim can be made for either processor over the other.
