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

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 and Intel Core i5-14501TE occupy different segments entirely, and the benchmark data reflects that split. The Ryzen 3 30 is a mobile processor with a 15 W TDP, designed for efficiency in compact systems. The Core i5-14501TE is a desktop chip with a 45 W TDP, built for sustained workloads in full-size machines. The recorded data shows the Ryzen 3 30 has a complete benchmark suite, with scores across eleven PassMark tests, while the Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark results in the database. This means the comparison is one-sided: the Ryzen 3 30 has measurable performance data, and the Core i5-14501TE does not.

The Ryzen 3 30 wins in every category where data exists, but that is because no data exists for the Intel part. The AMD chip delivers a multithread score of 9027, a single-thread score of 2465, and an average benchmark score of 20137. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0, which indicates no measurements have been recorded. The database percentile for the Ryzen 3 30 is 74, placing it above most CPUs, while the Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile, which is the median position, but again this is based on absent data.

For workloads that matter to mobile users, the Ryzen 3 30 shows strength in data compression with a score of 135834, floating point math at 14448, and integer math at 29846. The random string sorting score of 14431 and extended instructions score of 6075 indicate solid general-purpose compute. The physics score of 436 is modest, and the find prime numbers score of 20 is low, suggesting the chip is not optimized for prime-number sieving tasks. These results point to a processor that handles everyday productivity, encryption, and data manipulation well, but struggles with specific mathematical workloads.

The Core i5-14501TE, by contrast, has no wins because the database contains no benchmark results for it. Its specifications suggest a different performance envelope: 6 cores and 12 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads for the AMD part. The Intel chip boosts to 5.10 GHz versus 4.10 GHz for the AMD part. The Intel processor has a larger L3 cache at 24 MB shared versus 4 MB shared for the AMD chip. These architectural advantages would likely translate to higher raw throughput in multi-threaded desktop tasks, but without recorded scores, the data cannot confirm this.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for different users. For mobile computing, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 is the only option with recorded performance. Its 15 W TDP makes it suitable for thin-and-light laptops, and its benchmark scores show it can handle typical mobile workloads. The average benchmark score of 20137 places it within 0.7% of the AMD EPYC 7713P and 0.6% behind the Intel Core Ultra 7 165U, meaning it delivers performance comparable to a server-grade EPYC part and a mid-range Ultra chip in the same database. The Intel Core i7-9700K is 0.7% ahead, and the Intel Core i7-11800H is 0.7% behind. These nearest rival comparisons show the Ryzen 3 30 is competitive with much larger and more expensive processors, despite its mobile positioning.

For desktop users, the Core i5-14501TE offers no measured data, so no verdict can be rendered from benchmarks. Its specifications indicate a stronger multi-threading capability with 12 threads versus 8, a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.10 GHz, and a much larger L3 cache. The 24 MB shared L3 cache versus 4 MB shared is a six-fold difference, which would benefit cache-sensitive workloads. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not, and has a newer PCIe implementation with Gen 5 and 16 lanes versus Gen 3 and 4 lanes. These are meaningful differences for workstation or server applications that require memory reliability and high-bandwidth I/O.

The Ryzen 3 30 uses LPDDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s, while the Core i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 but has no recorded bandwidth figure. The AMD chip has a smaller die at 100 mm² versus 215 mm² for Intel, and it uses a 6 nm process from TSMC versus a 10 nm process from Intel. The smaller process node typically allows for better power efficiency, which aligns with the 15 W versus 45 W TDP gap.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database shows zero head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The wins counters are both zero, and the head-to-head benchmark array is empty. This means the recorded data does not include direct comparisons. The only quantitative comparison available comes from the Ryzen 3 30's nearest rivals, which do not include the Core i5-14501TE.

The Ryzen 3 30's strongest scores are in data compression at 135834, which is a very high figure, and integer math at 29846. The floating point math score of 14448 and random string sorting at 14431 are nearly identical, indicating balanced performance across these two workloads. The data encryption score of 6461 and extended instructions score of 6075 are also close, suggesting the chip handles cryptographic and SIMD-style workloads at similar rates. The single-thread score of 2465 is the same as the singlethread score, confirming consistency in the database.

The multithread score of 9027 is substantially lower than the sum of individual core scores would suggest, which is typical for a 4-core, 8-thread mobile chip. The physics score of 436 is the weakest result, and the find prime numbers score of 20 is the lowest overall. These two tests often reflect integer-heavy, branch-predictor-sensitive workloads, and the Zen 2 architecture in the Mendocino codename appears less effective there.

For the Core i5-14501TE, the absence of benchmark data means there are no scores to analyze. The database lists its average benchmark score as 0, which is not a measured result but a placeholder for missing data. The percentile of 50 is the default median, not a computed ranking. Any statement about the Intel part's performance would be speculative, so the analysis must remain silent on its measured capabilities.
