AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D vs Intel Core i9-14900F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i9-14900F holds the only complete set of recorded benchmark scores in this comparison. The database contains no measured workloads for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D, meaning its benchmark results are listed as zero across all tests. This makes a direct head-to-head score comparison impossible; the analysis must instead focus on architectural positioning and the Intel processor's absolute performance profile.

The Intel Core i9-14900F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39,551 and a single-core score of 5,583. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result reaches 16,611, while the single-core result sits at 2,344. The Cinebench R15 test shows a multi-core score of 3,986 and a single-core score of 562. Geekbench reports a multi-core score of 20,008 and a single-core score of 2,570.

PassMark results for the Intel processor reveal a multithread score of 46,532 and a single-thread score of 4,506. The integer math workload scores 177,066, while floating point math reaches 119,550. Data compression scores 564,207, and data encryption scores 34,644. Extended instructions produce 31,084. Find prime numbers scores 209, physics scores 2,899, and random string sorting scores 63,728.

The Intel Core i9-14900F's average benchmark score is 60,008, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rivals provide context: the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX averages 60,099, a delta of -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX averages 60,104, also -0.2%. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D averages 59,641, placing the Intel chip 0.6% ahead. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338T averages 60,572, which is 0.9% above the Core i9-14900F. These deltas are tight, all within a single percentage point, indicating that the Core i9-14900F performs essentially at parity with its closest measured competitors.

Because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no recorded benchmark data, there are no wins to attribute to either side. The Intel processor is therefore the only part in this pairing with empirical performance evidence in the database.

FAQ

The Verdict

The recorded data points decisively toward the Intel Core i9-14900F for any user requiring verified performance metrics. It has a full suite of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark results, an average benchmark score of 60,008, and a 92nd percentile ranking. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has zero measured scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects the absence of data rather than a performance judgment.

The Intel processor also provides a substantial core advantage, 24 cores versus 12, and 32 threads versus 24. Its boost clock of 5.80 GHz exceeds the AMD part's 5.50 GHz. The Intel chip's 36 MB of shared L3 cache is smaller than the AMD's 128 MB L3 cache, but the AMD part cannot be validated by benchmark results at this time.

For workloads where multi-core throughput matters, the Intel Core i9-14900F's 39,551 Cinebench R23 multi-core score and 46,532 PassMark multithread score offer concrete evidence of capability. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D offers no comparable numbers. The choice, based strictly on available data, is the Intel Core i9-14900F. The AMD part may have architectural merits, but the database contains no measurements to support a comparative conclusion.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i9-14900F has 24 cores and 32 threads. Base clocks diverge sharply: the AMD part runs at 4.40 GHz, the Intel part at 2.00 GHz. Boost clocks favor Intel at 5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz for AMD. Thermal design power also differs, with the AMD processor rated at 120 W and the Intel processor at 65 W.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel Core i9-14900F uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD processor is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 2x 70.6 mm². The Intel processor uses a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm². Transistor count is listed for AMD at 16,630 million; no transistor count is recorded for Intel.

Cache configurations differ in L2 and L3. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD processor has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Intel processor has 2 MB per core. L3 cache totals 128 MB for AMD and 36 MB shared for Intel. Memory support differs as well: AMD lists DDR5 only, Intel lists DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s for AMD, with no bandwidth figure listed for Intel. Both use dual-channel memory buses.

PCIe lanes differ: the AMD processor provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are present on the AMD part as Radeon Graphics; the Intel part lists N/A. The AMD multiplier is unlocked, while the Intel multiplier is locked. The AMD processor has a launch MSRP of none recorded. The Intel Core i9-14900F has a launch MSRP of $524.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D belongs to the 9000 series and is codenamed Granite Ridge, with its generation listed as Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge)). The Intel Core i9-14900F belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, with an architecture of Raptor Lake, a codename of Raptor Lake-R, and a generation of Core i9 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The manufacturing processes represent different foundries and nodes: AMD uses TSMC at 4 nm, Intel uses its own foundry at 10 nm.

Core architecture differs in structure. The AMD part is a 12-core, 24-thread design with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part is a 24-core, 32-thread design with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost of 5.80 GHz. The AMD die is split into two 70.6 mm² chiplets, totaling 16,630 million transistors. The Intel die is a single 257 mm² piece with no transistor count recorded.

Cache hierarchy diverges at L2 and L3. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 per core. AMD allocates 1 MB of L2 per core and 128 MB of L3, while Intel allocates 2 MB of L2 per core and 36 MB of shared L3. The AMD L3 pool is more than three times larger than Intel's, which may benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads, though no benchmark data exists to quantify that effect for this AMD part.

Memory architecture also separates the two. AMD supports only DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded. PCIe connectivity favors AMD with 24 Gen 5 lanes versus Intel's 16 Gen 5 lanes. Integrated graphics appear only on the AMD processor, listed as Radeon Graphics, while the Intel part has none. The AMD multiplier is unlocked, enabling overclocking, while the Intel multiplier is locked. Both parts support ECC memory and are marked as Active in production status. The AMD release date is recorded as 2025-10-06, while the Intel release date is 2024-01-07.
