AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark results for the Intel Core i9-14901E, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X entry has no benchmark scores listed. This asymmetry shapes the comparison: the Intel part carries 17 measured results, whereas the AMD chip currently has no recorded performance data in the database.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i9-14901E scores 25,753 points in the multicore test and 3,635 points in single-core. Moving to Cinebench R20, it delivers 10,816 multicore and 1,526 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2,595 multicore and 366 single-core. These scores position the processor at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37,911.

PassMark results for the Intel part reinforce its profile. The multithread score is 30,298, while the single-thread result is 4,354. Integer math reaches 112,736, floating point math hits 81,089, and extended instructions score 17,249. Data compression records 288,777, data encryption scores 18,571, and find prime numbers produces 189. Random string sorting delivers 39,138, and the physics test yields 3,041.

The nearest rivals for this Intel processor, based on average benchmark score, include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37,904, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at 37,943, the Intel Core 5 211E at 37,829, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 37,804. The delta percentages are minimal: 0 percent for the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, negative 0.1 percent for the Ryzen 7 9700X, 0.2 percent for the Intel Core 5 211E, and 0.3 percent for the Ryzen AI Embedded P132. Essentially, the i9-14901E trades within a narrow band of these comparable parts, separated by less than a percentage point in average score.

Because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no benchmark entries, there are no head-to-head deltas to report between the two specific processors. The comparison instead relies on the Intel chip's measured results against its nearest rivals in the database, none of which is the 9700X itself.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction. The Intel Core i9-14901E is a measured performer with a full suite of benchmark results and an 86th percentile ranking across all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 37,911 places it essentially level with its closest rivals, all within 0.3 percent. For workloads captured by Cinebench and PassMark tests, this processor demonstrates strong multithreaded and single-threaded capability.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile versus all CPUs is listed at 50, with an average benchmark score of 0, and no nearest rivals are provided. Without measured data, no performance verdict can be derived from the database for this chip. Any selection between the two based on benchmark evidence would favor the Intel part solely because it has data behind it.

The Intel chip also carries a higher percentile position, 86 versus 50, though the AMD part's 50 percentile appears tied to the absence of scores rather than a direct measurement. The recorded facts show the i9-14901E as active with a 2024 release date, while the Ryzen Embedded 9700X is active with a 2025 release date.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14901E wins in every category where measurements exist. Cinebench R23 multicore at 25,753 and PassMark multithread at 30,298 indicate strong parallel workload performance. Single-thread results, including 3,635 in Cinebench R23 and 4,354 in PassMark, show capable lightly threaded execution. The PassMark math tests, integer at 112,736 and floating point at 81,089, point to solid compute throughput. Data compression at 288,777 and encryption at 18,571 round out a comprehensive measured profile.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X currently has no wins in the database because no benchmark scores are recorded for it. The chip's specifications are present, but performance outcomes are not. The 9700X carries a 65 watt TDP, 8 cores, 16 threads, a 3.80 GHz base clock, and a 5.50 GHz boost clock. It uses AMD Socket AM5, supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, includes ECC memory support, and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 24 CPU lanes. Its integrated graphics are listed as Radeon Graphics, and the multiplier is unlocked.

The Intel i9-14901E also runs at 65 watts TDP with 8 cores and 16 threads, but its base clock is 2.80 GHz and boost clock is 5.60 GHz. It uses Intel Socket 1700, supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, includes ECC memory support, and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Its integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770, and the multiplier is locked.

Use-case splits from the data: the Intel chip is the only one with benchmark-backed evidence for rendering, math-heavy tasks, compression, encryption, and general multithreaded applications. The AMD chip, based purely on listed specifications and no measurements, would require database scores before any workload advantage can be assigned.
