AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits this comparison into two very different profiles. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a mobile processor with an active benchmark suite, while the Intel Core i5-14501E is a desktop part with no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This creates a one-sided quantitative comparison, but the qualitative distinctions are substantial.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U delivers measurable results across eleven PassMark tests. Its strongest relative performance appears in data compression with a score of 38,455, which towers over its other recorded results. Integer math follows at 8,873, floating point math at 5,854, and random string sorting at 4,666. The processor also posts scores of 3,348 in multithread, 2,116 in extended instructions, 1,972 in data encryption, and 1,592 in both single-thread tests. The weakest recorded result is find prime numbers at 18, with physics at 232.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is recorded as zero, and it has no nearest rivals listed. This means the Intel part cannot be placed in the benchmark hierarchy using recorded measurements. The only quantitative ground for comparison comes from its architecture specifications, which are extensive.

The AMD part sits at the 62nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 6,247. Its nearest rivals are all high-core-count desktop or server processors: the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X at 6,231 average score (0.3% behind), the AMD EPYC 7272 at 6,186 (1% behind), the Intel Core i9-10920X at 6,347 (1.6% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-7940X at 6,147 (1.6% behind). This places the Ryzen 3 3100U in a surprising neighborhood, given its 2-core, 15-watt mobile design.

The Intel Core i5-14501E is listed at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, but with no average score to anchor that figure. The practical interpretation is that the database currently holds architecture data for the Intel part but no measured performance results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different market segments and different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U uses the Picasso architecture, part of the Ryzen 3 generation built on Zen+ microarchitecture. It is manufactured on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries, with 4,940 million transistors on a 210 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 215 mm² die size. The transistor count for the Intel part is not recorded.

Core and thread counts diverge sharply. The AMD chip has 2 cores and 2 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The Intel chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part also carries a 65 W TDP versus 15 W for the AMD part, reflecting the desktop versus mobile positioning.

Cache hierarchies reflect the generation gap. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U offers 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14501E offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 cache is six times larger than the AMD L3 cache.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s, and it does not support ECC memory. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, with no bandwidth figure recorded, and it supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U uses PCIe Gen 3, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part includes Radeon Vega 8, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770.

Sockets and form factors confirm the split. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP5 and targets the mobile market segment. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets the desktop segment. The AMD part was released with a 2026 timestamp, while the Intel part carries a 2024 timestamp. Neither part has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part number is YM3100C4T2OFG, and the Intel part number is Q49HSRNJM.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U and the Intel Core i5-14501E. The wins counter shows zero for both processors. This absence of direct comparison data means the only quantitative benchmark analysis available comes from the AMD part's standalone results and its nearest rival positions.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U's average benchmark score of 6,247 places it within 1.6% of four very different processors. The Intel Core i9-10920X leads it by 1.6% with an average score of 6,347. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X trails by 0.3% at 6,231. The AMD EPYC 7272 trails by 1% at 6,186. The Intel Core i9-7940X trails by 1.6% at 6,147. These deltas are small enough to treat the four rivals as a tight performance cluster around the Ryzen 3 3100U.

Among the AMD part's own benchmarks, the data compression result of 38,455 stands out as an outlier. It is roughly four times the integer math score of 8,873 and more than eleven times the multithread score of 3,348. This suggests the processor handles compression workloads with disproportionate efficiency relative to its other recorded tasks. The encryption score of 1,972 and extended instructions score of 2,116 are comparatively modest, while the prime number finding score of 18 is extremely low, indicating weak performance in that specific workload.

The single-thread score of 1,592 appears twice in the benchmark list under two different test names, but both entries carry the same value, so the database treats them as a consistent measurement. The multithread score of 3,348 is roughly double the single-thread score, which aligns with the 2-core, 2-thread design, since there is no simultaneous multithreading to multiply throughput beyond the physical core count.

The Intel Core i5-14501E cannot be analyzed through benchmark results because none are recorded. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 5.20 GHz boost clock suggests substantially higher multithread capability than the AMD part, but the database does not contain measurements to confirm this. The lack of an average benchmark score and the absence of nearest rivals mean any performance projection for the Intel part would rely on architecture specifications rather than recorded data.

The Verdict

From the data available, the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is the only processor in this comparison with measured performance. It delivers a complete benchmark profile across compression, encryption, math, sorting, and single-thread workloads, with an average score of 6,247 and a 62nd percentile standing among all CPUs. Its nearest rival cluster, including the Threadripper 1950X, EPYC 7272, and two Intel Core i9 parts, shows that the Ryzen 3 3100U competes in a performance band far above what its 2-core mobile design might suggest.

The Intel Core i5-14501E offers architecture advantages on paper: more cores, more threads, higher clocks, larger L3 cache, DDR5 support, ECC memory support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. All of these specifications point to a processor designed for desktop workloads where multicore throughput and modern I/O matter. But the database contains no benchmark scores for this part, so its actual performance cannot be quantified or compared against the AMD processor.

A buyer choosing between these two would be making a segment decision first. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a 15 W mobile part with Radeon Vega 8 graphics, suited to compact, power-constrained systems. The Intel Core i5-14501E is a 65 W desktop part with UHD Graphics 770, suited to socket-based builds with room for higher power draw. The Intel part's ECC memory support and 24 MB of shared L3 cache are meaningful for workstation-class workloads, while the AMD part's recorded benchmark data shows it holds its own in compression-heavy tasks.

The database does not support a direct performance verdict because the Intel part has no measurements. What the data does show is that the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has a verified performance position at the 62nd percentile, while the Intel Core i5-14501E remains an unmeasured specification sheet. Any claim of Intel superiority in this comparison would require benchmark results that are not present in the database.
