AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X vs Intel Core i9-14900HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i9-14900HX has a substantial body of recorded benchmark data, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no benchmark scores in the database. This makes the comparison one-sided, but the available numbers for the Intel chip are extensive and tell a clear story about its performance profile.

The Intel Core i9-14900HX posts a multi-core score of 4574 in Cinebench R15, 15616 in Cinebench R20, and 30055 in Cinebench R23. Its single-core results in the same test family are 310.5, 2204, and 2181.5 respectively. These figures place the chip in the 91st percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 56004. The AMD part has no recorded average score and sits at the 50th percentile by default, meaning there is no direct numeric comparison available for any workload in the database.

The nearest rivals for the Intel chip in the database are all within a narrow band. The Intel Core 7 253PQE scores 55919, which is 0.2 percent behind the i9-14900HX. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 scores 56273, putting it 0.5 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 scores 56306, also 0.5 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX scores 56555, 1 percent ahead. These deltas show the i9-14900HX sits in a tightly contested performance tier, where the spread from its closest competitor below to its closest competitor above is less than 1.2 percentage points.

In Geekbench, the Intel chip records a multi-core score of 17511 and a single-core score of 2330. PassMark results cover a range of specialized workloads. The data compression score is 539965, data encryption is 32619, and extended instructions reach 31247. Floating point math scores 112273, integer math scores 157375, and the multithread score is 43778. Physics processing scores 2638, random string sorting scores 60861, and find prime numbers scores 193. The single-thread PassMark score is 4175, recorded twice under slightly different test labels.

Because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no benchmark entries, the head-to-head comparison cannot produce any win counts for either side. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero. The recorded data supports analysis of the Intel part only; any statement about the AMD part's performance would have no numeric backing in the database.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core i9-14900HX is the only one of the two processors with measurable benchmark results in the database. Its 91st percentile ranking and average score of 56004 place it among higher-performing CPUs, and its nearest rivals confirm it is competitive at that level. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded scores, so no performance verdict can be derived from the database for that part.

For a builder choosing between these two, the Intel chip has documented performance across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark workloads. The AMD chip offers no such documentation in the database. The Intel part also carries a higher core count of 24 versus 8, and a higher boost clock of 5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz. The AMD part has a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 2.20 GHz, and a lower TDP of 65 watts versus 55 watts for Intel, though the Intel TDP is specified at 55 watts while the AMD part is 65 watts. The Intel chip is a mobile part with an Intel BGA 1964 socket, while the AMD chip is a desktop part on AMD Socket AM5.

The database position is straightforward: the Intel Core i9-14900HX has the performance evidence, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X does not. Any selection between the two based on benchmark data must favor the Intel part, as it is the only one with recorded scores.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field in the database. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i9-14900HX uses 24 cores and 32 threads. Base clocks differ significantly: 3.80 GHz for AMD versus 2.20 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are closer but still distinct, with Intel at 5.80 GHz and AMD at 5.50 GHz.

TDP values are 65 watts for the AMD part and 55 watts for the Intel part. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, a desktop socket, while the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1964, a mobile socket. The market segments reflect this: AMD is listed as Desktop, Intel as Mobile.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe configurations are different. The AMD part offers Gen 5 with 24 lanes, while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

Release dates are distinct. The AMD part was released on 2025-10-06, while the Intel part was released on 2024-01-07. Both are marked as Active in production status, and both have unlocked multipliers. Part numbers are 100-000001404E for AMD and SRMXF for Intel. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X is part of the 9000 series and uses the Granite Ridge codename, built on the Zen 5 architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The transistor count is 8,315 million, and the die size is 70.6 mm². The Intel Core i9-14900HX belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake-HX codename, and is built on the Raptor Lake architecture (specifically a Raptor Lake-HX Refresh). It is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The Intel part has no transistor count listed, but its die size is 257 mm².

Cache configurations differ in the L2 and L3 levels. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB of L2 per core. The AMD part has 32 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Intel part has 36 MB of shared L3 cache.

The AMD part is part of the Ryzen Embedded generation and uses Zen 5 (Granite Ridge) technology. Its foundry is TSMC, while Intel uses its own foundry. The Intel part's generation is listed as Core i9 (Raptor Lake-HX Refresh). Neither part has a 3D V-Cache option listed.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14900HX wins every category where benchmark data exists, since the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded scores. The Intel part has documented wins in Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 for both multi-core and single-core tests, Geekbench multi-core and single-core, and the full PassMark suite including data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating point math, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, and single-thread tests.

The AMD part has no benchmark wins in the database. Its winsA count is zero, and the Intel part's winsB count is also zero, because no head-to-head benchmark entries exist. Any workload-specific advantage for the AMD part cannot be established from the recorded data.

The Intel part's higher core count (24 versus 8) and higher boost clock (5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz) align with its strong multi-core and single-core test results. The AMD part's higher base clock (3.80 GHz versus 2.20 GHz) suggests potential efficiency at lower loads, but no benchmark data supports a performance claim. The AMD part's smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm) and smaller die size (70.6 mm² versus 257 mm²) indicate a more compact design, but again, no performance numbers back this up.

In terms of platform positioning, the AMD part is a desktop processor on Socket AM5 with 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, while the Intel part is a mobile processor on BGA 1964 with 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. Builders targeting a desktop system with more PCIe lanes might favor the AMD part for connectivity, while those needing a mobile solution with documented performance would look to the Intel part. The Intel part also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering broader memory compatibility, while the AMD part is limited to DDR5.

The database shows the Intel Core i9-14900HX as the only one of the two with measurable performance, and its 91st percentile ranking places it among the stronger CPUs tracked. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X remains an unmeasured part with no scores, no rivals, and no average benchmark result. For any performance-based decision, the Intel part is the only one with evidence in the database.
