AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no direct head-to-head benchmark scores between these two processors, and the average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D is listed as 0 with an empty benchmark array. The Intel Core i5-14490F, by contrast, has a full set of recorded measurements across Cinebench and Passmark tests, with an average benchmark score of 38,149 and a percentile ranking of 86 among all CPUs. This asymmetric data situation means the comparison relies on the Intel chip’s documented performance profile and the AMD chip’s absence of recorded scores, which itself is a meaningful finding: the AMD part currently has no verified performance measurements in the database.

Focusing on what the data does show, the Intel Core i5-14490F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,000 and a single-core score of 3,247. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 9,660 and the single-core result is 1,363. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2,318 multi-core and 327 single-core. Passmark results for the Intel part include a multi-thread score of 28,662, a single-thread score of 3,873, integer math at 87,844, floating-point math at 66,558, extended instructions at 21,731, data compression at 340,026, data encryption at 18,225, find prime numbers at 122, physics at 2,093, and random string sorting at 35,608.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-14490F, based on average score, include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T at 38,194 with a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38,103 with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38,221 with a delta of -0.2%, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38,261 with a delta of -0.3%. The small deltas indicate that the i5-14490F sits in a tightly clustered performance band, essentially tied with these four rivals. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no nearest rivals listed, reinforcing that its performance profile is entirely unmeasured in the current database.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the AMD chip has zero wins against the Intel chip’s zero wins, no direct comparison of scores is possible. The investigative implication is that any performance claims about the AMD part must be treated as unverified, while the Intel part’s scores are well-documented and place it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs.

FAQ

Q: What is the average benchmark score for each processor?

A: The Intel Core i5-14490F has an average benchmark score of 38,149, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has an average benchmark score of 0, meaning no benchmark scores are recorded for the AMD part.

Q: How does the Intel Core i5-14490F compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The i5-14490F is within 0.3% of four rivals: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T (38,194, -0.1%), the Intel Core i5-13600KF (38,103, 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 (38,221, -0.2%), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX (38,261, -0.3%). This indicates near-identical average performance across this group.

Q: What is the processor percentile ranking for each chip?

A: The Intel Core i5-14490F ranks at the 86th percentile among all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D ranks at the 50th percentile, but with no benchmark scores, this percentile appears based on incomplete data.

Q: Does the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D have any recorded Cinebench scores?

A: No. The database lists no benchmark entries for the AMD part, so no Cinebench R15, R20, R23, or Passmark scores exist for it.

Q: What is the highest single-thread score recorded for the Intel Core i5-14490F?

A: The highest single-thread score is 3,873, recorded in both the Passmark single-thread and singlethread tests. In Cinebench, the single-core scores are 327 (R15), 1,363 (R20), and 3,247 (R23).

Q: Are there any head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors?

A: No. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts are zero for both processors, so no direct comparison scores exist in the database.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the only processor with verified performance measurements. Its average benchmark score of 38,149 places it at the 86th percentile, and its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,000 and single-core score of 3,247 provide concrete reference points. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals, which means the database currently offers no evidence of its performance capabilities. For any user relying on measured data, the Intel part is the only option with a documented performance profile. The AMD part’s 50th percentile, in the absence of scores, does not reflect measured performance and should not be interpreted as a comparative result. The data indicates that the Intel Core i5-14490F is the verified performer, while the AMD chip remains an unmeasured variable.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins in every category where recorded data exists, simply because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no benchmark scores. For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel chip’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,000 and Passmark multi-thread score of 28,662 provide measurable reference points. For single-threaded tasks, the Intel chip’s Passmark single-thread score of 3,873 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,247 show its capability. Specific Passmark subtests demonstrate strengths in integer math (87,844), floating-point math (66,558), data compression (340,026), data encryption (18,225), extended instructions (21,731), physics (2,093), random string sorting (35,608), and prime number finding (122). The Intel chip’s percentile ranking of 86 and its position within 0.3% of four nearest rivals indicate that it performs in a tight band with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, Intel Core i5-13600KF, AMD Ryzen 7 250, and Intel Core i5-13600HX. The AMD chip has no wins in any category because no scores are recorded. The data suggests the Intel chip is the only choice for users who require verified performance numbers. The AMD chip’s specifications, such as 12 cores, 24 threads, higher base and boost clocks, larger L3 cache, and DDR5 support, are documented, but without benchmark scores, these specifications cannot be translated into measured performance advantages. The Intel chip wins on the basis of available evidence, while the AMD chip’s potential remains unquantified in the database.
