AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data separates these two processors into distinct roles. The Intel Core i7-14701TE holds every recorded benchmark win, with no measurable victories for the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE in the database. The Intel part delivers a dominant 17,035 score in Cinebench R23 multi-core, positioning it as a clear performer for threaded workloads. In contrast, the AMD processor shows no recorded benchmark entries, meaning the database contains no direct performance measurements for the Ryzen 3 5305GE.

The Core i7-14701TE also posts a 2,405 score in Cinebench R23 single-core, which indicates strong per-thread performance. In PassMark tests, the Intel chip demonstrates balanced capabilities across different workload types. It scores 65,792 in integer math, 50,219 in floating point math, and 22,760 in random string sorting. These results point to a processor that handles both compute-heavy and data-manipulation tasks without notable weaknesses.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE sits at the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database, placing it exactly in the middle of the performance distribution. The Intel Core i7-14701TE, by comparison, reaches the 78th percentile, a substantial gap that places it in the upper quarter of all recorded processors. The Intel chip carries an average benchmark score of 26,013, while the AMD part shows a zero average score due to the absence of recorded measurements.

The use-case split is straightforward based on available data. The Intel Core i7-14701TE is the choice for multi-threaded rendering, data compression, encryption, and physics calculations. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 20,042 reinforces this positioning. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE, with its lower core count and smaller cache, would logically target lighter workloads, but the database contains no empirical evidence to confirm its performance profile.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing generations. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel's own fabs. The process node difference gives AMD a manufacturing advantage in transistor density, though Intel compensates with a larger physical design.

The transistor counts reflect this divergence. AMD packs 10,700 million transistors into a 180 mm² die, while Intel does not disclose a transistor count in the database but uses a larger 257 mm² die. The cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a much larger 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger L3 pool gives it a notable advantage in workloads that benefit from frequently accessed cached data.

Core counts also separate the two. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE provides 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE doubles that to 8 cores and 16 threads. Clock speeds tell a different story. The AMD part runs at a 3.60 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.20 GHz, while Intel starts lower at 2.10 GHz but boosts much higher to 5.20 GHz. The Intel chip's higher boost ceiling suggests strong single-threaded bursts, while the AMD chip maintains a higher sustained base frequency.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR4 only with dual-channel access and a measured memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 across dual channels, with no bandwidth figure recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported by the Intel chip, while the AMD part does not list ECC support. PCIe connectivity also diverges: AMD uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, giving Intel a significant I/O bandwidth advantage for modern expansion cards and storage devices.

The integrated graphics differ. AMD pairs the Ryzen 3 5305GE with Radeon Vega 6 graphics, while Intel equips the Core i7-14701TE with UHD Graphics 770. Both target desktop platforms, with AMD on Socket AM4 and Intel on Socket 1700. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, while Intel locks its multiplier. The AMD part carries part number 100-000001805, and Intel uses Q49GSRNJL. Release dates place Intel first at June 30, 2024, with AMD following on February 23, 2025.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct comparison is limited by the database's lack of recorded benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE. The Intel Core i7-14701TE, however, has a full suite of measurements that establish its performance envelope. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel chip scores 17,035, a figure that places it well above typical mid-range processors. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405 indicates strong per-thread capability, driven by the 5.20 GHz boost clock.

The Intel part's PassMark results show consistent strength across varied workloads. Its integer math score of 65,792 and floating point math score of 50,219 demonstrate solid arithmetic throughput. Data compression hits 220,520 in PassMark, while data encryption reaches 11,699. Extended instruction performance scores 14,354, and prime number finding scores 143. The physics score of 1,860 and multi-thread score of 20,042 round out the profile. Single-thread performance is recorded at 2,637, appearing under two test names in the database.

The nearest rival data for the Intel chip provides context for its standing. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 scores 25,981, just 0.1 percent below the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26,106, putting it 0.4 percent above Intel. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25,880, 0.5 percent below, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26,187, 0.7 percent above. These deltas show the Core i7-14701TE trading blows with a cluster of modern AMD mobile and desktop parts, landing within a narrow performance band around 26,000 points.

The absence of AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE benchmark data means no direct score-to-score comparison is possible. The specification gap, however, favors Intel heavily. The Core i7-14701TE offers double the cores and threads, more than four times the L3 cache, a higher boost clock, newer PCIe generation, and broader memory support. The AMD chip counters with a smaller process node, lower TDP, and an unlocked multiplier. In any workload that scales with core count, cache size, or boost frequency, the Intel part holds the theoretical advantage. The database confirms this with its 78th percentile ranking versus 50th for the AMD chip, and the Intel processor's 26,013 average score stands as the only recorded average between the two.
