Data encryption shows a 48.6 percent delta (17,387 versus 11,699), and extended instructions follow closely at 47.8 percent (21,212 versus 14,354). Single-thread performance also favors AMD heavily: the PassMark single thread result shows 3,858 for the Ryzen part versus 2,637 for the Intel part, a 46.3 percent difference.

The Cinebench suite consistently shows AMD ahead by roughly 15.7 to 15.9 percent across all six tests. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS scores 19,742 versus 17,035 for the Intel chip. Single-core in R23 shows 2,787 versus 2,405. The R20 results follow the same pattern: 8,291 versus 7,154 in multi-core, and 1,170 versus 1,010 in single-core. R15 shows 1,989 versus 1,716 in multi-core and 280 versus 242 in single-core.

PassMark integer math goes to AMD at 72,740 versus 65,792, a 10.6 percent edge. The multithread test shows 23,569 versus 20,042, a 17.6 percent advantage. Data compression lands at 265,826 versus 220,520, a 20.5 percent win for AMD.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE claims three wins. The largest is in the find prime numbers test, where Intel scores 143 versus AMD's 73, meaning the AMD result is 49 percent lower. The physics test goes to Intel at 1,860 versus 1,208, a 35.1 percent gap. Floating point math favors Intel at 50,219 versus 45,481, a 9.4 percent difference.

The win counts reveal a lopsided matchup. AMD dominates in memory-related workloads, encryption, instruction-heavy tasks, and every Cinebench render test. Intel's wins concentrate in prime number calculation, physics simulation, and floating point arithmetic.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS delivers its strongest results in tasks that stress memory bandwidth, encryption, and instruction throughput. The 55.9 percent lead in random string sorting indicates superior memory handling. Data encryption at 48.6 percent ahead suggests strong cryptographic acceleration. The extended instructions test, 47.8 percent in AMD's favor, points to efficient SIMD and specialized instruction processing.

For general productivity, AMD's 17.6 percent multithread advantage and 46.3 percent single-thread lead make it the stronger choice in most office and content creation scenarios. The Cinebench results, consistently 15.7 to 15.9 percent ahead, confirm that rendering workloads favor the AMD part despite the Intel chip having more cores.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE shows its strengths in narrowly defined computational tasks. The find prime numbers test, where Intel scores 143 against AMD's 73, suggests better integer loop performance in a specific algorithm. The physics test result, 1,860 versus 1,208, indicates superior performance in physics simulation workloads. Floating point math at 50,219 versus 45,481 shows Intel handles floating point-heavy calculations more effectively.

The pattern is clear: AMD wins across a broad range of everyday and professional workloads, while Intel wins in three specialized compute areas. The scope of AMD's victories, spanning 14 of 17 tests, outweighs the magnitude of Intel's wins in their three niche categories.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The chip integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. Cache is organized as 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. It contains 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The die size is 257 mm², and the cache layout is 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3.

The process node difference is significant: 4 nm versus 10 nm. AMD's smaller process allows for higher base clocks (4.30 GHz versus 2.10 GHz) while maintaining the same 45 W TDP. Intel compensates with a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, but the base clock gap is substantial.

Memory support differs: AMD supports DDR5 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. AMD lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; Intel does not have a recorded bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ. AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The generation advantage goes to Intel, though lane count favors AMD.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses the Radeon 760M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Both parts are locked (multiplier unlocked is false for both). AMD targets the mobile market segment with Socket FP7, while Intel targets the desktop segment with Socket 1700.
