Intel Core i7-14650HX vs AMD Ryzen 7 7700 vs AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
Intel Core i7-14650HX
► remove from comparison
The Intel Core i7-14650HX is a high-end CPU based on the new Raptor Lake architecture for large and heavy notebooks. The CPU was introduced at the beginning of 2024 and is similar to the older Core i7-13700HX except for slightly higher CPU clock rates (max 200 MHz).
The total of 24 threads are divided into P-cores and E-cores, which we already know from Alder-Lake. The 13700HX offers 8 performance cores (P-cores) with hyperthreading and 8 efficiency cores (E-cores) without hyperthreading. A total of 20 threads are therefore supported. The P-cores clock from 2.2 to 5.2 GHz (single core) or 4.5 GHz (all cores) and the E-cores from 1.6 to 3.7 GHz. The integrated memory controller supports a maximum of DDR5 with 4800 MHz (and not 5600 MHz like the i9 HX models).
Compared to Alder Lake, the new Raptor Lake architecture offers improved P-cores (Raptor Cove architecture with more cache), more E-cores (same Gracemont architecture) and higher clock rates thanks to the improved Intel 7 process. Furthermore, Intel now supports faster DDR5 main memory in the top models (up to 5600 MHz in the i9).
The performance should be slightly above the older Core i7-13700HX (with the same TDP settings and cooling). This makes the CPU ideal for demanding tasks and games.
The 14650HX continues to be manufactured using Intel's improved 10nm FinFET process (Intel 7 process) and is specified with 55 watts of base power and 157 watts of turbo power.
AMD Ryzen 7 7700
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a fast high-end desktop processor of the Raphael series. It offers 8 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (16 threads). The cores clock from 3.8 (base) up to 5.3 GHz (single core boost). Compared to the faster Ryzen 9 CPUs (like the 7900X), the R7 offers less cores and slightly lower clock speeds.
The performance of the R7 7700 is slightly below the higher clocked AMD R7 7700X (that also features a higher TDP).
The Raphael series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores, so only one used for the 7700X) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon Graphics iGPU) in 6nm.
The Ryzen 7 7700 is rated at a TDP of only 65 Watt and therefore suited for smaller desktops (and cooling solutions).
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
► remove from comparison
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a fast high-end desktop processor of the Raphael series. It offers 8 cores based on the Zen 4 architecture that supports hyperthreading (16 threads). The cores clock from 4.5 (base) up to 5.4 GHz (single core boost). Compared to the faster Ryzen 9 CPUs (like the 7900X), the R7 offers less cores and slightly lower clock speeds.
The performance of the R7 7700X is clearly better than the old Ryzen 7 of the 5000 generation thanks to the improved architecture and modern 5nm process. Compared to Intels Alder Lake Core i7-12900K the performance is quite similar but stays behind the newer Rocket Lake i5-13600K (multi-threaded).
The Raphael series still uses a chiplet design with two CCD-clusters (each with 8 possible cores, so only one used for the 7700X) in 5nm and an IO-die (including the memory controller and the Radeon Graphics iGPU) in 6nm.
