AMD Ryzen 3 30 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen 3 30 and the Intel Core i5-14501E presents an unusual comparison situation. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has a complete set of PassMark benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core i5-14501E currently has no recorded benchmark scores. This means the head-to-head comparison must rely on what the database shows for the AMD part and the architectural and specification differences between the two processors.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 delivers a multi-thread score of 9027 in the PassMark multithread test. Its single-thread score is 2465, recorded in both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread entries. The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is 20137, placing it at the 74th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U at an average score of 20249 (0.6% higher), the AMD EPYC 7713P at 20024 (0.6% lower), the Intel Core i7-9700K at 20271 (0.7% higher), and the Intel Core i7-11800H at 19998 (0.7% lower). These small delta percentages show that the Ryzen 3 30 sits in a tightly contested performance band, effectively trading blows with a 28-core server processor and several high-end desktop and mobile chips.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 shows notable strengths in specific workloads. The data compression test yields a score of 135834, which is the highest individual benchmark score recorded for this processor. Integer math reaches 29846, floating point math reaches 14448, and random string sorting reaches 14431. The extended instructions score is 6075, and data encryption scores 6461. Find prime numbers returns a score of 20, and the physics test scores 436.

Because the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores in the database, the head-to-head comparison cannot show direct numerical deltas between the two. The database lists the i5-14501E with an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50, which reflects the absence of recorded measurements rather than actual performance. The comparison therefore shifts to what the specification records indicate about expected behavior, while the AMD part's measured results anchor the analysis.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction between these two processors based on what is recorded. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is a measured performer with a complete benchmark profile. Its 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs and its proximity to rivals like the Intel Core i7-9700K (0.7% higher average score) and Intel Core i7-11800H (0.7% lower average score) indicate that it delivers competitive results despite its modest core count and low power envelope.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no measured benchmark data in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder tied to the missing scores, not a performance verdict. Buyers looking for a desktop processor with six cores, twelve threads, and a 5.20 GHz boost clock will find the specification sheet compelling, but the database cannot confirm how those specifications translate into actual performance.

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is the only one of the two with verified results. It belongs in the mobile segment with a 15 W TDP, a 4-core, 8-thread configuration, and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. The Intel Core i5-14501E is a desktop part with a 65 W TDP, 6 cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The choice between them depends entirely on whether measured performance matters more than unverified specifications. The database currently supports the AMD part with actual numbers; the Intel part remains an unmeasured entry.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is built on the Zen 2 architecture with the Mendocino codename, part of the Ryzen 3 generation. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation within the Core 14th Gen series. The AMD part is manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. The Intel part is manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel.

Cache layouts differ significantly. 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 i5-14501E has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has substantially more L3 cache, 24 MB versus 4 MB, which reflects its larger desktop-oriented design.

The memory architecture differs as well. The AMD part uses LPDDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a recorded bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. The AMD part has no ECC support, while the Intel part supports ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities are a major architectural difference. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 provides PCIe Gen 3 with 4 CPU lanes. The Intel Core i5-14501E provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. This gives the Intel part four times the lane count and two generations newer PCIe technology. The integrated graphics also differ architecturally: AMD pairs the Ryzen 3 30 with Radeon 610M graphics, while Intel pairs the i5-14501E with UHD Graphics 770.

The transistor count is not recorded for either processor. The part number for the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is listed as unknown, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has the part number Q49HSRNJM.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 wins in the database because it has measured performance data. Its complete benchmark profile includes a multithread score of 9027, a single-thread score of 2465, and an average benchmark score of 20137. It ranks at the 74th percentile among all CPUs. The data shows it delivers competitive results against much larger processors, including the AMD EPYC 7713P, which it edges by 0.6% in average score despite the EPYC being a server-class part.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 also wins on efficiency-related specifications. Its 15 W TDP is far lower than the 65 W TDP of the Intel part. Its 6 nm process node from TSMC is smaller than the 10 nm node used for the Intel part. Its die size of 100 mm² is less than half of the Intel die size of 215 mm². These specifications point to a design optimized for low-power mobile use.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on raw specification comparisons where the database has recorded values. It has more cores (6 versus 4) and more threads (12 versus 8). It has a higher base clock (3.30 GHz versus 2.40 GHz) and a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.10 GHz). It has more L2 cache per core (1.25 MB versus 512 KB) and more L3 cache (24 MB versus 4 MB). It supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. It uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, compared to PCIe Gen 3 with 4 lanes on the AMD part. Its integrated UHD Graphics 770 is a different class of graphics solution than the Radeon 610M.

For use cases, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 suits the mobile segment it was designed for. The recorded benchmarks confirm it performs competitively in general productivity workloads despite its low TDP. The Intel Core i5-14501E suits desktop workloads where core count, cache size, memory flexibility, and PCIe bandwidth matter. The database cannot confirm its actual benchmark performance, so its advantages remain specification-based rather than measurement-based. The data shows the AMD part as the verified performer and the Intel part as an unmeasured specification sheet.
