AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core i7-14701TE contains a full benchmark suite, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible. However, the available Intel results can be interpreted against its nearest rivals to establish where the i7-14701TE stands.

In Cinebench R23, the Intel Core i7-14701TE scores 17,035 in multi-core and 2,405 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 7,154 multi-core and 1,010 single-core. The R15 results show 1,716 multi-core and 242 single-core. These scores place the i7-14701TE in the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The Passmark suite for the i7-14701TE shows a multi-thread score of 20,042, a single-thread score of 2,637, and an average benchmark score of 26,013. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, has an average score of 25,981, which is a 0.1% delta. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS sits at 26,106, a -0.4% delta, meaning the Intel part trails it by 0.4%. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25,880, a 0.5% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26,187, a -0.7% delta.

The data shows the i7-14701TE is within a very tight band of these rivals. It sits 0.1% above the Ryzen AI 5 340 and 0.5% above the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE. It trails the Ryzen 5 8640HS by 0.4% and the Ryzen 5 8540U by 0.7%. These are sub-one-percent margins, indicating near-identical average performance across this peer group.

In the Passmark sub-tests, the i7-14701TE records 220,520 in data compression, 11,699 in data encryption, 14,354 in extended instructions, 143 in find prime numbers, 50,219 in floating point math, 65,792 in integer math, 1,860 in physics, and 22,760 in random string sorting. These figures establish a baseline for the Intel processor across diverse workloads.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no benchmark scores recorded, no nearest rivals listed, and a percentile of 50. Its average benchmark score is 0. This means the database contains no measured performance data for this processor. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both items are 0.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. For users selecting based on recorded measurements, the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the only option with verified benchmark results. Its 78th percentile ranking and average score of 26,013 place it in the upper-middle range of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no measurements, so no performance verdict can be derived from the database for it.

The i7-14701TE is a locked multiplier processor, meaning its clock behavior is fixed by Intel's specifications. The 9900X3D has an unlocked multiplier, which allows clock adjustment, but this cannot be translated into a performance advantage without benchmark data.

The Intel part operates in the 45 W TDP class, while the AMD part is rated at 120 W TDP. The database records thermal design power, not measured power draw, so the practical power consumption difference is not quantified. The i7-14701TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, while the 9900X3D belongs to the 9000 series with Granite Ridge architecture and Zen 5 cores.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with recorded data. In multi-threaded workloads, its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,035 and Passmark multi-thread score of 20,042 demonstrate its capacity for parallel tasks. In single-threaded workloads, its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405 and Passmark single-thread score of 2,637 show its per-core strength.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D cannot claim any benchmark win from the database. However, the hardware specifications indicate different strengths. It has 12 cores and 24 threads, compared to 8 cores and 16 threads for the Intel part. Its base clock is 4.40 GHz and boost clock is 5.50 GHz, versus 2.10 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost for the Intel chip. The AMD processor has 128 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel processor has 33 MB of shared L3 cache. These specifications suggest the AMD part is positioned for cache-sensitive workloads, but the database does not contain measurements to confirm this.

The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD processor supports DDR5 only. Both support ECC memory. The AMD part has 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. The AMD processor includes Radeon Graphics, and the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 770.
