AMD Ryzen 3 30 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 and Intel Core i5-14401TE present an unusual comparison because the database contains a full benchmark profile for the AMD part but no recorded benchmark scores for the Intel processor. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has an average benchmark score of 0 in the database, with an empty benchmark array and no rival comparisons. This means a direct score-by-score comparison is not possible from the recorded data. However, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 shows a complete set of Passmark results that place it at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile, a substantial gap in overall standing.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 delivers a Passmark single-thread score of 2465 and a multi-thread score of 9027. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 20137. The nearest rival data for the AMD part shows it is essentially tied with several higher-tier processors: it sits 0.6% behind the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U (average score 20249), 0.6% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7713P (average score 20024), 0.7% behind the Intel Core i7-9700K (average score 20271), and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11800H (average score 19998). These deltas indicate that the Ryzen 3 30's overall performance is competitive with much larger desktop and mobile chips, despite its modest 4-core configuration.

In specific workloads, the Ryzen 3 30 shows strengths in data compression with a Passmark score of 135834, integer math at 29846, floating point math at 14448, and random string sorting at 14431. Data encryption scores 6461, extended instructions score 6075, and the physics test scores 436. The find prime numbers test returns a score of 20, which is a low absolute value but reflects the test's scaling rather than a direct comparison point. Without any Intel benchmark scores in the database, the head-to-head wins cannot be calculated; the winsA and winsB fields both read 0, confirming that no direct comparison data exists.

The percentile difference is the most informative metric: 74th versus 50th percentile places the AMD part clearly above the Intel part in the overall CPU distribution. Given that the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded average score, its percentile is derived from its specifications rather than measured performance, which limits the confidence of this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 uses a Zen 2 architecture under the Mendocino codename, built on a 6 nm process node at TSMC with a die size of 100 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses a Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process node at Intel with a die size of 215 mm². The process node difference is significant: the AMD part uses a smaller fabrication process, which typically contributes to lower power consumption and higher density, while the Intel part uses a larger node with a correspondingly larger die.

The AMD processor integrates a Radeon 610M graphics unit, while the Intel processor integrates UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part does not support ECC memory, whereas the Intel part does support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD Ryzen 3 30 provides PCIe Gen 3 with 4 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel Core i5-14401TE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This represents a substantial difference in expansion and bandwidth capability, with the Intel part offering a newer PCIe generation and four times the lane count.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and organization. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has a larger cache at every level, with the L3 cache being five times larger than the AMD part's L3 cache. Core and thread counts also differ: the AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 12 threads.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field. Clock speeds: the AMD Ryzen 3 30 has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The Intel part has a lower base clock but a higher boost clock, giving it a wider frequency range. Thermal design power differs substantially: the AMD part is rated at 15 W, while the Intel part is rated at 45 W, a threefold difference in power envelope.

Socket compatibility: the AMD Ryzen 3 30 uses AMD Socket FT6, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE uses Intel Socket 1700. Market segments differ: the AMD part is classified as Mobile, while the Intel part is classified as Desktop. Memory support differs: the AMD part supports only LPDDR5, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded memory bandwidth value.

ECC memory support: the AMD part does not support ECC, while the Intel part does. The part numbers differ: the AMD part lists "unknown" as its part number, while the Intel part has the part number "Q4T4SRNJP". Release dates differ by over a year: the AMD Ryzen 3 30 was released on 2025-09-30, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE was released on 2024-06-30. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, while the AMD part has no series designation.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 demonstrates its strongest positioning in mobile and low-power scenarios. Its 15 W TDP is a fraction of the Intel part's 45 W TDP, which makes it suitable for thermally constrained environments where power efficiency is prioritized. The smaller 6 nm process node and the smaller die size of 100 mm² also point toward a more compact and power-efficient design. Its recorded LPDDR5 memory support with 88.0 GB/s bandwidth provides a specific performance characteristic for memory-intensive mobile workloads. The 74th percentile standing among all CPUs, despite having only 4 cores, indicates that the AMD part delivers strong overall performance relative to its core count.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins decisively in raw specification counts. It has 6 cores and 12 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, which gives it a 50% advantage in both core and thread counts. Its boost clock of 4.50 GHz is higher than the AMD part's 4.10 GHz, and its 20 MB of L3 cache is substantially larger than the AMD part's 4 MB. The Intel part also offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, which is a major advantage for desktop expansion, particularly for discrete GPUs and high-speed storage. ECC memory support makes the Intel part suitable for workstation or reliability-focused applications where data integrity is critical. The Intel part's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 gives it flexibility in memory selection that the AMD part lacks.

In benchmark standings, the AMD part's 74th percentile versus the Intel part's 50th percentile suggests that the AMD processor outperforms the Intel processor in the database's overall CPU ranking. However, this comparison is based on the AMD part's measured scores and the Intel part's specification-derived percentile, since the Intel part has no recorded benchmark data. The nearest rival analysis for the AMD part shows it trading places with processors that have much higher core counts, such as the 8-core Intel Core i7-9700K and the 8-core Intel Core i7-11800H, which indicates that the AMD Ryzen 3 30 punches above its core count in practical performance.

For users who prioritize multi-threaded throughput from a single processor, the Intel part's 12 threads and larger cache provide a theoretical advantage. For users who prioritize power efficiency and mobile deployment, the AMD part's 15 W TDP and smaller process node are clear advantages. The Intel part's desktop classification and Socket 1700 compatibility align with traditional desktop builds, while the AMD part's mobile classification and Socket FT6 align with compact or laptop systems. The data does not record any direct benchmark wins for either processor, so the final determination rests on the specification-level advantages and the AMD part's measured performance profile.
