Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Review: 24 Threads in a 3.08-Pound Workstation

Dell's Pro Precision 5 14s AMD mobile workstation, powered by the 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 processor with a 60 TOPS NPU and Radeon 890M integrated graphics, starts at $2,253 and is available now on Dell.com. The review configuration, featuring 64GB LPDDR5x memory, a 1TB Gen4 SSD, and a 14-inch QHD+ 120Hz display, prices at $5,404 as a single-unit purchase. The system's 24 threads and high-refresh panel distinguish it from the Intel version, delivering strong performance in rendering and compression workloads.

The Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD is the Ryzen half of Dell’s newest 14-inch mobile workstation. Our review unit runs the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475, a 12-core, 24-thread processor with a 60 TOPS NPU, alongside Radeon 890M integrated graphics, 64GB of LPDDR5x memory, a 1TB Gen4 SSD, and a 14-inch QHD+ display running at 120Hz. It is the same chassis Dell sells with Intel silicon, but the two configurations diverge more than the shared shell suggests. The headline for this one is threads. Where most 14-inch workstations in this class ship 16 cores without simultaneous multithreading, the HX PRO 475 brings 24 threads to bear, and it shows up everywhere rendering and compression workloads scale. The panel is the other differentiator: this configuration gets a 2560 x 1600 120Hz screen, whereas the Intel build we tested shipped a 1920 x 1200 panel with no high-refresh option listed. The Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD starts at $2,253, and our review configuration prices out at $5,404 as a single-unit purchase on Dell.com, with the 16GB to 64GB LPDDR5x jump being the largest line item at $1,700. As with all commercial systems, most business buyers purchase through an account team at volume discounts, so the web price is best viewed as a reference ceiling rather than a typical fleet cost. The system is available now on the Dell Pro Precision 5 Series 14S product page https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/dell-pro-precision-5-series-14s-laptop/spd/dell-pro-precision-pw514265-laptop/xcto pw514265 usx .

Measuring just 0.75 inches thick and weighing approximately 3.08 pounds, it offers a portable design without sacrificing performance. Processor options range from the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO to the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO, paired with integrated AMD Radeon 840M through 890M graphics, depending on the configuration. Our review unit features the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 processor with integrated Radeon 890M graphics. The unit features a 14-inch non-touch QHD+ IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a rated 35ms response time. Its 500-nit brightness and anti-glare finish produce a bright, easily visible image under a variety of lighting conditions, while 100% sRGB coverage provides vibrant and accurate colors. AMD FreeSync support helps deliver smoother motion, and Dell ComfortView Plus reduces potentially harmful blue-light emissions without significantly affecting color accuracy. The keyboard deck features a mini-LED backlit keyboard with a dedicated Copilot key. As expected for a compact 14-inch system, there is no numeric keypad, leaving enough room for a comfortable, well-spaced layout. A square power button with an integrated fingerprint reader sits at the upper-right corner, providing convenient biometric authentication. Below the keyboard is a large, centered glass touchpad that offers plenty of room for navigation and multitouch gestures. The right side of the Dell Pro 5 includes a 1GbE RJ-45 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and a universal audio jack. It also features a wedge-shaped lock slot for physically securing the laptop, along with optional eSIM support for mobile broadband connectivity. The left side provides the remainder of the laptop’s connectivity, including two Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 support. It also includes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port with PowerShare and a full-size HDMI 2.1 output. An optional Smart Card reader is available for organizations that require card-based authentication. Above the display is an 8MP HDR RGB+IR camera with user-presence detection, enabling high-resolution video conferencing, Windows Hello facial authentication, and presence-aware security features. Dual-array microphones help capture clear audio during calls, while an integrated sliding privacy shutter provides a simple physical way to block the camera when it is not in use. Removing the bottom panel provides a clear view of the Dell Pro 5’s internal layout. The cooling solution uses a single fan and heat-pipe assembly to manage the processor’s heat, while two 2W speakers are positioned along the lower corners of the chassis. Powering the system is a three-cell, 70Wh lithium-ion battery pack that occupies much of the lower portion of the unit. Wireless connectivity is handled by a replaceable MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925 card supporting 2×2 802.11be MIMO and Bluetooth 5.4. Our configuration also includes a replaceable 1TB Kioxia TLC PCIe Gen4 SSD. The system memory is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded by the user, making the initial configuration an important purchasing decision. Our review unit shipped with 64GB of dual-channel LPDDR5 memory operating at 8,533MT/s. The bottom cover features a generously sized ventilation section that provides the cooling system with a consistent supply of fresh air. Long rubber feet run along the front and rear edges, slightly elevating the laptop to improve airflow while keeping it stable and preventing it from sliding across a desk. Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Performance Our review unit runs the Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 with Radeon 890M graphics, 64GB of LPDDR5x, and a 1TB Gen4 SSD on Windows 11 Pro, with benchmarks tested in the Best Performance power mode. For battery life testing, we configure systems into Balanced power mode and set the screen brightness to 50%. One note on the memory: Dell rates this configuration at 8533 MT/s, but Task Manager, the system BIOS, and our SPEC runs all report 8000 MT/s on the review unit. For comparables, we included the Intel version of the same machine, the Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel https://www.storagereview.com/review/dell-pro-precision-5-14s-intel-review-certified-workstation-graphics-without-a-discrete-gpu Core Ultra X9 388H, Arc Pro B390, 64GB , the 16-inch Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475, Radeon 890M, 64GB , and the previous-generation Dell Pro 5 16 AMD https://www.storagereview.com/review/dell-pro-5-16-amd-review-the-desk-first-amd-option-in-dells-pro-laptop-line Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, Radeon 890M, 64GB as the generational reference. There is no 14-inch AMD system in the prior Pro 5 lineup, so both AMD comparisons are 16-inch machines; the comparisons here are about silicon and platform rather than chassis size. PCMark 10 PCMark 10 measures general system performance across everyday work such as web browsing, video conferencing, spreadsheets, writing, photo editing, and rendering. The overall score is supported by Essentials, Productivity, and Digital Content Creation subscores that show where a system’s strengths sit. Higher scores are better. PCMark 10 | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | Overall Score | 8,762 | 10,019 | 8,627 | 8,268 | Essentials | 11,442 | 12,188 | 10,744 | 10,870 | Productivity | 14,272 | 15,827 | 14,574 | 14,322 | Digital Content Creation | 11,178 | 14,147 | 11,127 | 9,852 | The review unit scored 8,762 overall, a 6% gain on the previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD and effectively a tie with its own 16-inch sibling. The Intel twin is 14% clear of it here, with the gap concentrated in Digital Content Creation, where Arc Pro B390 graphics do most of the work. PCMark 10 Modern Office Battery The PCMark 10 Modern Office battery test repeatedly runs common office tasks until the battery reaches the test’s cutoff point, in Balanced mode at 50% display brightness. This is a rundown of the whole system rather than a synthetic idle drain, so it tracks closely with what a full day of productivity work does to the battery. Longer runtimes are better. Modern Office Battery | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | Runtime higher is better | 14 hours 26 minutes | 23 hours 50 minutes | 15 hours 5 minutes | 15 hours 22 minutes | This is the review unit’s weakest showing. At 14 hours and 26 minutes, it trails the previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD by nearly an hour, gives up 39 minutes to its own 16-inch sibling, and concedes more than nine hours to the Intel version of the same laptop. A 120Hz QHD+ panel accounts for part of that against the Intel unit’s lower-resolution screen, but not nine hours of it. Buyers who value all-day unplugged runtime should look hard at the Intel build. Geekbench 6 Geekbench 6 measures processor performance using a mix of common tasks, with separate scores for single-core and multi-core workloads, plus GPU compute scores through OpenCL and Vulkan. Higher scores are better. Geekbench 6 | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | CPU Single-Core | 2,831 | 3,010 | 2,854 | 2,989 | CPU Multi-Core | 14,611 | 17,396 | 14,169 | 14,348 | GPU OpenCL | 36,322 | 56,745 | 37,520 | 33,449 | GPU Vulkan | 49,868 | 55,581 | 53,969 | 48,348 | Geekbench 6 is the one CPU test in this review where the Intel twin’s 16 cores beat 24 threads outright, taking multi-core by 19%. The generational gain over the HX PRO 470 is modest at 2% multi-core, and single-core goes to the older chip. On GPU compute, the Radeon 890M is roughly two-thirds of the Arc Pro B390 in OpenCL and close to 90% in Vulkan. Geekbench 7 Geekbench 7 joins the suite alongside Geekbench 6 as comparison data builds. Its CPU scores are calibrated against a baseline of 2,500, set by the AMD Ryzen 7700, while GPU scores are calibrated against a baseline of 100,000, set by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. Higher scores are better, and double the score indicates double the performance. Because Geekbench 7 uses new workloads and new baselines, its scores are not comparable to Geekbench 6 results. Geekbench 7 | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | CPU Single-Core | 2,571 | 2,702 | 2,659 | 2,602 | CPU Multi-Core | 15,514 | 18,788 | 16,641 | 14,860 | GPU OpenCL | 31,423 | 54,854 | 31,874 | 29,645 | GPU Vulkan | | 46,906 | | 14,451 | Both Precision AMD units failed workload validation in the Geekbench 7 Vulkan run, which assigns a score of zero to the affected subtest. We traced it to the fluid simulation workload and have discarded both results pending clean runs. The newer suite tells the same story as Geekbench 6, with the Intel twin 21% ahead in multi-core. Worth noting the 16-inch AMD sibling lands 7% above this unit on the same silicon, the clearest thermal-headroom signal in the review. Cinebench 2026 Cinebench 2026 is the current release in the Cinebench line and the only version we report. It tests CPU and GPU performance using Maxon’s Redshift render engine. It is built on the latest Cinema 4D 2026 code and is designed to show whether a machine is stable under high CPU load, whether a notebook’s cooling can sustain longer render tasks, and how it handles demanding real-world 3D work. Because code and compiler changes accelerated scene rendering, Cinebench 2026 scores use an adjusted range and should not be compared to scores from previous Cinebench versions. Its GPU test supports current AMD and NVIDIA hardware but does not yet run on Intel integrated graphics, and the Dell Pro 5 16 AMD has not completed a GPU run. Cinebench 2026 | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | CPU Single Thread | 466 | 513 | 471 | 485 | CPU Multiple Threads | 4,230 | 4,513 | 4,767 | 4,407 | GPU | 5,313 | N/A | 5,667 | N/A | The Radeon 890 M’s ability to run the GPU test at all is a practical advantage over the Arc Pro B390 here, since Cinebench 2026 does not yet support Intel integrated graphics. On the CPU side, the 16-inch AMD sibling pulls 13% ahead of the review unit, again pointing to sustained-load headroom rather than silicon differences. 7-Zip Compression The built-in 7-Zip benchmark measures how quickly the processor can compress and decompress data using multiple threads, run with a 128MB dictionary across ten passes. Decompression tends to scale with thread count, while compression leans on memory latency, so the two halves often tell different stories. Higher GIPS scores are better. 7-Zip 24.09 GIPS | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | Compressing | 89.099 | 92.836 | 85.627 | 92.443 | Decompressing | 117.545 | 93.089 | 117.863 | 115.362 | Total Rating | 103.322 | 92.963 | 101.745 | 103.903 | Decompression scales almost perfectly with thread count, and all three 24-thread AMD systems land near 116 GIPS, while the 16-thread Intel unit manages 93. That carries the total rating: 103.322 for the review unit against 92.963 for the Intel twin, an 11% win. Compression, which leans more on memory latency, goes the other way. y-cruncher y-cruncher measures how quickly the processor can calculate large numbers of digits of Pi, placing a heavy load on the CPU and memory subsystem. At the same time, the BBP runs to extract hexadecimal digits of Pi. Results are in seconds, so lower times are better. Neither Pro Precision AMD unit could complete the 5-billion or 10-billion digit runs, because the memory these platforms reserve for the integrated GPU leaves less available than those problem sizes require; the previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD completed 5 billion but not 10 billion. y-cruncher seconds, lower is better | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | Pi 1B | 24.648 | 28.404 | 22.840 | 25.160 | Pi 2.5B | 71.084 | 83.968 | 64.242 | 73.320 | Pi 5B | N/A | 190.356 | N/A | 163.768 | Pi 10B | N/A | 417.224 | N/A | N/A | Pi BBP 1B | 1.104 | 1.684 | 1.100 | 1.249 | Pi BBP 10B | 14.333 | 20.028 | 12.277 | 14.141 | Pi BBP 100B | 166.762 | 241.409 | 140.284 | 161.401 | At the sizes it can run, the review unit is quicker than the Intel twin across the board, finishing Pi to 2.5 billion digits 15% faster and the 100 billion BBP extraction 31% faster. The asterisk is that the Intel machine finishes the two largest runs at all, which matters for anyone whose workloads scale past what the shared memory pool allows. Blender The Blender benchmark measures rendering performance using three different 3D scenes: Monster, Junkshop, and Classroom. Results are reported in samples per minute, so higher scores are better, and we test on both the CPU and GPU. Scores are not comparable across Blender versions, so we report the current 5.2 release here. Blender 5.2 samples/min | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | GPU | |||| Monster | 124.50 | 567.52 | 123.00 | 118.77 | Junkshop | 101.06 | 463.30 | 101.21 | 95.75 | Classroom | 82.95 | 417.38 | 82.84 | 78.42 | CPU | |||| Monster | 127.02 | 133.46 | 130.86 | 127.45 | Junkshop | 95.84 | 94.27 | 99.74 | 98.89 | Classroom | 71.63 | 64.26 | 74.18 | 69.52 | Blender is the clearest illustration of the tradeoff in this review. The Radeon 890M renders Monster at 124.50 samples per minute against 567.52 for the Arc Pro B390, more than four and a half times faster on the Intel twin. CPU rendering runs the other direction but by far smaller margins, with the review unit taking Junkshop and Classroom from the Intel twin on thread count. Against the previous generation, the GPU gain is 5%, so the 890M in this platform performs essentially as it did last round. LuxMark LuxMark measures GPU compute performance by rendering complex scenes through OpenCL, based on LuxCoreRender. We run the Food and Hall scenes on all available OpenCL devices in each system, so the GPU listed in each column header did the rendering. Higher scores are better. LuxMark v4 | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | Hall | 2,077 | 3,494 | 2,058 | 2,125 | Food | 1,041 | 1,705 | 1,034 | 982 | The Arc Pro B390 is 68% faster in Hall and 64% faster in Food. Against its own predecessor, the review unit is flat in Hall and 6% up in Food, which matches the Blender picture: this is the same GPU generation, not a step forward. V-Ray Chaos V-Ray measures ray-traced rendering throughput, reported in vpaths, where higher is better. We run the CUDA-compatible engine on every system so results remain comparable to notebooks with discrete graphics; on systems without a discrete GPU, that path executes on the integrated graphics, even though V-Ray reports the processor name in its device field. V-Ray GPU vpaths | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | CUDA Engine | 897 | 890 | 1,039 | 861 | The four systems land within 20% of each other, and the review unit edges the Intel twin by less than 1%. That tight grouping is consistent with what we saw across the Precision family. This compatibility path leans on the CPU and memory subsystem as much as the GPU, so it does not separate these platforms the way LuxMark and Blender do. 3DMark CPU Profile The 3DMark CPU Profile benchmark measures CPU performance at fixed thread counts, from a single thread up to the maximum available, showing how performance scales as more cores are engaged. Higher scores are better. 3DMark CPU Profile | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | Max Threads | 8,778 | 10,277 | 9,267 | 6,696 | 8 Threads | 6,270 | 6,441 | 6,573 | 5,153 | 4 Threads | 4,047 | 4,176 | 4,238 | 3,513 | 1 Thread | 1,160 | 1,174 | 1,178 | 1,176 | All four are within 2% on one thread, and the field only separates as threads are added. The generational gain is the story here: 8,778 at max threads is 31% ahead of the previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD, the largest generational CPU gain in this review. The Intel twin still leads at 10,277. 3DMark Storage and Blackmagic Disk Speed Test 3DMark Storage measures how an SSD performs during gaming-related tasks such as loading games, installing software, saving progress, and moving game files. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test measures an SSD’s sequential read and write speeds using large media files. Higher is better in both. Storage | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | 3DMark Storage | 2,424 | 3,093 | 2,325 | 2,477 | Blackmagic Write MB/s | 4,772.0 | 9,000.8 | 5,070.5 | 5,166.5 | Blackmagic Read MB/s | 4,900.4 | 9,809.2 | 5,071.2 | 4,758.0 | Our review unit shipped with a Gen4 Kioxia BG7, and it shows: sequential throughput sits near 4.8 GB/s in both directions, whereas the Intel configuration’s Gen5 drive reads at nearly 9.8 GB/s, roughly twice as fast. Dell’s configurator lists this AMD build with Gen4 storage, while the Intel build is Gen5, so this is a platform difference rather than a bad sample, and it is worth attention from anyone moving large media files. Blackmagic RAW Speed Test The Blackmagic RAW Speed Test measures how many frames per second a system can decode Blackmagic RAW video on the CPU and on the GPU. We quote the 8K results at 12:1 compression, and higher is better. Blackmagic RAW Speed Test | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | 8K 12:1 CPU fps | 77 | 79 | 74 | 72 | 8K 12:1 GPU fps | 49 | 85 | 49 | 45 | CPU decode is close across the group at 72 to 79 fps. The GPU path is where the Radeon 890M struggles, at 49 fps against 85 for the Arc Pro B390, which is the difference between falling short of real-time 8K playback and clearing it comfortably. Topaz Video AI The Topaz Video AI benchmark measures AI video upscaling and frame-interpolation performance in frames per second across the application’s enhancement models, run here at 1080p input, where higher is better. The previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD was not tested with Topaz. Topaz Video AI fps | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | Artemis 1X / 2X / 4X | 3.75 / 2.24 / 0.79 | 6.22 / 5.28 / 1.89 | 3.72 / 2.21 / 0.78 | 3.25 / 1.94 / 0.68 | Iris 1X / 2X / 4X | 4.86 / 2.70 / 0.86 | 5.18 / 3.14 / 0.94 | 4.91 / 2.72 / 0.92 | 4.20 / 2.38 / 0.78 | Proteus 1X / 2X / 4X | 3.93 / 2.69 / 1.19 | 6.43 / 6.08 / 2.46 | 3.99 / 2.70 / 1.18 | 3.42 / 2.35 / 1.03 | Gaia 1X / 2X / 4X | 1.90 / 1.35 / 0.94 | 3.24 / 2.25 / 1.50 | 1.87 / 1.34 / 0.96 | 1.66 / 1.15 / 0.83 | Nyx 1X / 2X | 1.86 / 1.56 | 1.57 / 1.54 | 1.87 / 1.53 | 1.56 / 1.34 | Hyperion HDR 1X | 11.34 | 3.22 | 11.48 | 9.49 | 4X Slowmo Apollo / APFast | 6.05 / 17.72 | 8.57 / 22.13 | 6.08 / 17.59 | 5.72 / 16.11 | 16X Slowmo Aion | 9.13 | DNF | 9.05 | 7.98 | The Intel twin wins most of the upscaling models, in some cases by wide margins. Still, the Radeon 890M owns the two places it matters for AMD buyers: Hyperion HDR at 11.34 fps against 3.22, more than triple, and the 16X Slowmo Aion model, which completed here and on the 16-inch sibling but failed on the Intel twin. If your pipeline depends on either of those, the AMD build is the safer machine. UL Procyon AI Text Generation The Procyon AI Text Generation Benchmark streamlines LLM performance testing by providing a concise, consistent evaluation method. It enables repeated testing across four local models, Phi, Mistral, Llama3, and Llama2, while minimizing the complexity of large models and the number of variables. Developed with AI hardware leaders, it optimizes the use of local AI accelerators to deliver more reliable, efficient performance assessments. All four systems ran the models through ONNX Runtime with DirectML on their GPUs. Procyon AI Text Generation | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | Phi | 424 | 887 | 434 | 371 | Mistral | 396 | 646 | 403 | 346 | Llama3 | 352 | 674 | 357 | 306 | Llama2 | 379 | 786 | 390 | 329 | The Arc Pro B390 roughly doubles the Radeon 890M in Phi, Llama2, and Llama3, and leads Mistral by 63%, the widest AI gap in the review. Generationally, the review unit gains 14 to 15% on the HX PRO 470, and all four systems complete Llama2 thanks to their 64GB shared memory pools, which is the practical advantage integrated platforms hold over small-VRAM discrete cards for local inference. UL Procyon AI Computer Vision The Procyon AI Computer Vision Benchmark measures AI inference performance across CPUs, GPUs, and dedicated accelerators using a range of neural networks, evaluating tasks such as image classification, object detection, segmentation, and super-resolution with models including MobileNet V3, Inception V4, YOLO V3, DeepLab V3, Real ESRGAN, and ResNet 50. The WinML runs use float32 on CPU and GPU, giving a like-for-like view across vendors. We also run the newer Computer Vision 2 suite through each vendor’s native path, Ryzen AI in int8 on the AMD NPUs and OpenVINO on the Intel NPU and iGPU; those results are listed separately since precision and runtime differ by platform. Higher scores are better. Procyon AI Computer Vision WinML | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | CPU | 106 | 141 | 114 | 91 | GPU | 247 | 404 | 245 | 214 | Procyon AI Computer Vision 2 native runtimes | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD | NPU | 1,176 | 1,647 | 1,189 | 611 | iGPU | N/A | 1,517 | N/A | N/A | The generational NPU gain is the standout number: 1,176 against 611 for the HX PRO 470, nearly double, reflecting the move from a 50 TOPS to a 60 TOPS engine plus a newer Ryzen AI runtime. It is worth noting that the Intel twin still scores higher at 1,647 despite its 50 TOPS rating, a reminder that vendor TOPS figures do not translate directly into benchmark throughput. UL Procyon AI Image Generation The Procyon AI Image Generation Benchmark provides a consistent method for measuring AI inference performance from low-power NPUs to high-end GPUs, with three tests: Stable Diffusion XL FP16 for high-end GPUs, Stable Diffusion 1.5 FP16 for moderately powerful GPUs, and Stable Diffusion 1.5 INT8 for low-power devices. The benchmark uses the optimal inference path for each platform, meaning the AMD-optimized DirectML pipeline on the Radeon systems and OpenVINO on the Intel unit. The INT8 test runs on the NPU where a supported quantized model exists; the current Pro Precision AMD units do not yet have one available through Procyon, so those cells are blank pending a supported path. Procyon AI Image Generation | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro Precision 5 14s Intel Arc Pro B390 | Dell Pro Precision 5 16s AMD Radeon 890M | Dell Pro 5 16 AMD Radeon 890M | SD 1.5 FP16 | 281 | 632 | 316 | 255 | SDXL FP16 | 197 | 731 | 200 | 173 | SD 1.5 INT8 iGPU | N/A | 7,873 | N/A | N/A | SD 1.5 INT8 NPU | N/A | 3,003 | N/A | 3,598 | On the FP16 runs, the Arc Pro B390 is more than twice as fast in SD 1.5 and nearly four times as fast in SDXL, which is a real gap for anyone generating images locally. The interesting cell is the NPU row: the previous-generation Pro 5 16 AMD has a genuine quantized NPU running at 3,598 using AMD’s Ryzen AI path, ahead of the Intel twin’s 3,003, and we would expect this unit’s newer 60 TOPS NPU to beat it once Procyon exposes a supported quantized model for the platform. SPECviewperf 15 SPECviewperf 15 measures graphics performance using viewsets derived from professional applications in CAD, 3D modeling, rendering, engineering, and medical visualization, replayed here at 1080p. Higher scores are better, although performance can vary considerably between applications and graphics architectures. The enscape-01 viewset failed to complete on the review unit across multiple runs, and catia-07 failed on the Intel twin.

The review unit beats the Intel twin in four of the nine viewsets, both completed, taking 3dsmax, blender, medical, and solidworks. At the same time, Intel’s certified driver advantage shows up in the CAD and engineering traces, where it leads by 29 to 57%. Against its own predecessor, the review unit gains in all ten viewsets it completed, by about 12% on average. SPECworkstation 4 SPECworkstation 4 measures workstation performance across CPU, graphics, storage, AI, product design, engineering, financial services, and other professional workloads, using real applications grouped into seven industry verticals. Higher scores are better, and N/A means the system did not complete every workload required for that category.

Conclusion The Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD packs substantial multi-threaded performance into a compact 3.08-pound chassis. Its Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 475 delivered its strongest results in CPU-intensive workloads, beating the Intel version by 11% in the overall 7-Zip benchmark. It also completed every y-cruncher workload that fit within its available memory. Compared with the previous-generation AMD platform, the 31% improvement in the 3DMark CPU Profile and near doubling of NPU performance represent meaningful progress. The trade-offs are equally clear. Radeon 890M graphics fall well behind the Intel model’s Arc Pro B390 in most GPU compute, rendering, and AI workloads. At the same time, the Gen4 Kioxia SSD provides roughly half the sequential throughput of the Intel configuration’s Gen5 drive. Battery life reached a respectable 14 hours and 26 minutes, but that remains more than nine hours behind the Intel version. The AMD system does have a few workload-specific advantages, including support for the Cinebench 2026 GPU test and successful completion of Topaz Video AI’s 16X Slowmo Aion model. Outside of performance, the AMD configuration benefits from an excellent 14-inch QHD+ 120Hz display, a durable aluminium-alloy chassis, strong port selection, Wi-Fi 7, and a comprehensive set of business security features. The soldered memory makes choosing the correct capacity upfront important, especially considering the steep $1,700 upgrade to 64GB in Dell’s online configurator. Configurations on the Dell Store start at $2,253 and reach $5,404 as tested. The Dell Pro Precision 5 14s AMD carries a high single-unit price, but commercial customers will typically buy through negotiated volume agreements. It is best suited to mobile professionals whose workloads benefit from 24 CPU threads, ample shared memory, and a high-resolution display. Buyers prioritizing GPU acceleration, maximum battery life, or faster storage will find the Intel configuration more compelling, but for CPU-heavy workstation tasks in a highly portable form factor, the AMD version makes a strong case.
