AMD Ryzen 3 5305G vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 3 5305G versus the Intel Core i5-14490F. The benchmark data that exists covers only the Intel part, with no corresponding scores recorded for the AMD processor. As a result, direct numerical comparisons between these two CPUs cannot be established from the recorded measurements.

The Intel Core i5-14490F carries an average benchmark score of 38149, placing it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T with an average score of 38194, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the i5-14490F, and the Intel Core i5-13600KF with an average score of 38103, a delta of +0.1 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 scores 38221, which is 0.2 percent above the i5-14490F, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX scores 38261, 0.3 percent higher. These figures indicate the i5-14490F sits within a tightly clustered performance band, effectively tied with its closest competitors.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 5305G, the database records an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50, with no benchmark entries and no nearest rivals listed. This absence of measured data means the AMD part cannot be positioned against the Intel part through the database's scoring system. The only quantitative statement that can be made is that the Intel processor has a recorded average score of 38149, while the AMD processor has no recorded score at all.

The Intel i5-14490F shows strong multicore results in the Cinebench suite. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 23000, its Cinebench R20 multicore score is 9660, and its Cinebench R15 multicore score is 2318. Single-core results are 3247 in Cinebench R23, 1363 in Cinebench R20, and 327 in Cinebench R15. PassMark results for the Intel part include a multithread score of 28662 and a single-thread score of 3873, with additional specialized workloads such as integer math at 87844, floating point math at 66558, data compression at 340026, and data encryption at 18225. These figures define the Intel processor's measured capabilities, but they have no counterpart in the AMD data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and generations. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G belongs to the 5000 series, uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, and is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It contains 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel Core i5-14490F is part of the Core 14th Gen lineup, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. It contains 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz.

The AMD processor integrates Radeon Vega 6 graphics, while the Intel processor has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A. This is a meaningful distinction for systems that require a display output without a discrete GPU. The AMD part also has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, whereas the Intel part has a locked multiplier.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14490F 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 therefore provides more cache at every level, with notably larger L2 and L3 allocations.

Memory support also differs. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, with no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. Both processors lack ECC memory support.

PCIe connectivity is another differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core i5-14490F uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe generation on the Intel side offers higher data transfer capability for compatible devices.

The AMD processor is built on a 180 mm² die with 10,700 million transistors, while the Intel processor has a 215 mm² die with no transistor count recorded. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket AM4, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, making the two incompatible with each other's motherboard platforms.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G was released on 2025-02-23, while the Intel Core i5-14490F was released on 2023-12-31. Both processors are listed as Active in production status and target the Desktop market segment. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear functional split. The Intel Core i5-14490F is the processor with measured performance, carrying an average benchmark score of 38149 and a 86th percentile ranking. Its 10 cores, 16 threads, 5.00 GHz boost clock, 24 MB of shared L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity position it as the higher-capability processor in this comparison. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores and no nearest rivals in the database, so its relative performance cannot be established.

For workloads that depend on multicore throughput, the Intel part's core count and thread count are substantially higher, and its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23000 and PassMark multithread score of 28662 provide concrete evidence of its output. The AMD part offers no comparable data points.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G does hold structural advantages in specific areas. It includes Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics, which the Intel part lacks, and it has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. It also uses a 7 nm process at TSMC, which is a smaller process node than Intel's 10 nm. These features matter for systems that need onboard display output or manual frequency tuning.

The Intel Core i5-14490F is the processor that the database can quantify, and it performs at a level consistent with its nearest rivals, all within 0.3 percent of its average score. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G is the processor that the database cannot quantify, with no benchmarks recorded. Any selection between the two must account for the fact that only one of them has measurable performance data in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins on any criterion that requires measured performance. Its average benchmark score of 38149, 86th percentile ranking, and complete Cinebench and PassMark results give it a documented performance profile. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23000 and PassMark multithread score of 28662 indicate strong threaded workloads, and the single-thread score of 3873 in PassMark shows solid single-core capability. The Intel part also wins on core count, thread count, boost clock, cache capacity, memory type flexibility with DDR4 and DDR5 support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G wins in categories tied to its feature set rather than measured benchmarks. It includes Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics, making it suitable for systems that require onboard display output. Its unlocked multiplier permits overclocking, which the Intel part does not allow. The AMD part uses a smaller 7 nm process node at TSMC compared to Intel's 10 nm, and it has a smaller die size of 180 mm² versus 215 mm². It also has a higher base clock of 4.00 GHz compared to the Intel part's 2.50 GHz, though the Intel part's boost clock of 5.00 GHz is higher.

The recorded data does not include any benchmark wins for either processor in a head-to-head format, since the database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pairing. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G has zero recorded wins, and the Intel Core i5-14490F has zero recorded wins. The performance comparison therefore rests entirely on the Intel part's standalone benchmark results and the architectural specifications of both processors.
