AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the Intel Core i5-14401E as the stronger processor in raw computational output. It holds a 60th percentile rank among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel part delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 18,161 points, a figure the AMD processor does not match in the database. The Ryzen 3 5305GE offers a lower thermal envelope at 35 W TDP versus the Intel's 65 W TDP. For users prioritizing maximum thread throughput and higher single-core peaks, the data points to the Intel part. For those needing a compact, lower-power desktop processor with an unlocked multiplier, the AMD part is the choice. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture (Raptor Lake-R codename), fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads; the Intel part has 6 cores and 12 threads. Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor offers 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache.

Memory support diverges: the AMD part supports only DDR4, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 51.2 GB/s; the Intel's memory bandwidth is not recorded. PCIe capability differs: AMD provides Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon Vega 6, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier; the Intel part is locked. The AMD socket is AM4, the Intel socket is LGA 1700. ECC memory support is absent on AMD but present on Intel.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins in all recorded multi-core and single-core Cinebench tests. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 18,161, its R20 multi-core score is 7,627, and its R15 multi-core score is 1,830. Single-core results follow the same pattern: R23 single-core at 2,564, R20 single-core at 1,076, and R15 single-core at 258. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark entries in the database, so it does not record a single win in any listed test. The Intel part also wins on core count (6 versus 4) and thread count (12 versus 8). The AMD part wins on thermal design power, drawing 35 W versus Intel's 65 W. The AMD part also holds an advantage in its unlocked multiplier, allowing manual frequency adjustment. The Intel part's boost clock is higher at 4.70 GHz versus AMD's 4.20 GHz, while the AMD base clock is higher at 3.60 GHz versus Intel's 2.50 GHz.
