Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F is built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix codename, fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, on a 10 nm process at Intel. The manufacturing difference is significant: the AMD chip integrates 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the Intel part has a larger 257 mm² die with no transistor count listed in the database.

Cache structures differ noticeably. The Ryzen 7 8700F provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i7-14701TE offers 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and a much larger 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L3 on the Intel chip does not translate into a benchmark advantage in the recorded tests, as the AMD part wins the majority of workloads.

Both CPUs have 8 cores and 16 threads. The Ryzen 7 8700F runs at a 4.10 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.00 GHz, while the Core i7-14701TE runs at a much lower 2.10 GHz base clock but boosts higher to 5.20 GHz. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel part is locked. The Ryzen 7 8700F is listed as part of the 8000 series, while the Core i7-14701TE belongs to Core 14th Gen.

Socket platforms diverge: the AMD chip uses Socket AM5, the Intel chip uses Socket 1700. PCIe support also differs. The Ryzen 7 8700F provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Core i7-14701TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part also includes integrated UHD Graphics 770 and ECC memory support, both absent on the AMD side.

Thermal design power differs: the Ryzen 7 8700F is rated at 65 W TDP, the Core i7-14701TE at 45 W TDP. Production status for both is listed as Active. The AMD chip was released on 2024-03-31, the Intel chip on 2024-06-30.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points decisively toward the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F for most workloads. It wins 15 of the 17 head-to-head tests, including every Cinebench variant and the majority of PassMark tests. The average benchmark score gap is 30746 versus 26013, a difference of roughly 18% in favor of the AMD part. The percentile ranking confirms this: 82nd for the Ryzen 7 8700F versus 78th for the Core i7-14701TE.

Users whose workloads rely on prime number calculations or physics simulation may prefer the Intel Core i7-14701TE, as it wins those two specific tests by 31.5% and 16.5% respectively. The Intel chip also offers integrated graphics, ECC memory support, and DDR4 compatibility, which may matter for specific system configurations. Its lower 45 W TDP could appeal in power-constrained builds, though the database does not include power consumption measurements.

For multi-threaded rendering, data compression, encryption, extended instruction workloads, floating point math, integer math, and random string sorting, the Ryzen 7 8700F shows consistent and often large advantages. The largest margin appears in passmark_random_string_sorting, where the AMD chip scores 45425 against 22760, a 99.6% lead. The smallest AMD win is in passmark_floating_point_math at 24.7% (62629 versus 50219).

The single-thread picture also favors AMD. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the Ryzen 7 8700F scores 3761 versus 2405, a 56.4% margin. PassMark single-thread shows 3872 versus 2637, a 46.8% lead. Despite the Intel chip having a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 5.00 GHz), the recorded data shows the AMD part ahead in single-thread tests.
