AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head comparison runs between the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G and the Intel Core i5-14501E. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters for both processors are zero. This means the recorded data does not include matched-pair testing across the standard PassMark workload suite. The only comparative signal available is the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G's average benchmark score of 27,382, which places it at the 79th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Core i5-14501E has no recorded average benchmark score, no percentile rank, and no rival comparisons, leaving its measured performance unquantified in this dataset.

For the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G, the database does contain a full set of individual workload scores. Its single-thread score is 3,096, its multithread score is 14,033, and its floating-point math score is 25,245. Integer math reaches 45,910, while extended instructions score 11,935. Data encryption scores 10,288, data compression scores 168,041, and random string sorting scores 18,819. Prime number finding scores 36, and the physics workload scores 701. These figures establish a baseline for the AMD part, but they cannot be compared against the Intel processor because the Intel unit lacks any recorded benchmark entries.

Because the Core i5-14501E has no benchmark data, the head-to-head section must rely on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G's closest rivals in the database provide some context for its standing: the Intel Core i7-13700H sits 0.1% ahead with an average score of 27,355, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is 0.5% ahead at 27,507, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.6% ahead at 27,535, and the Intel Core i5-12600K is 0.7% ahead at 27,578. These deltas show the Ryzen processor is effectively within 1% of four contemporary mid-range and upper-mid-range chips, which indicates its average score is competitive within that cluster. The Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has no such rival set in the database, so its relative position cannot be established from recorded measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in core count and thread count. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G uses 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses 6 cores and 12 threads. That is a 50% advantage for Intel in both cores and threads, which typically translates into higher multi-threaded throughput in heavily parallel workloads. Single-thread behavior is harder to predict from the core count alone, but the clock speeds differ substantially. The AMD part has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Intel's boost clock is a full 1.00 GHz higher, which suggests a meaningful advantage in bursty, lightly threaded tasks, provided the silicon can sustain that frequency.

The manufacturing process nodes also differ. AMD builds the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G on TSMC's 7 nm process, while Intel builds the Core i5-14501E on Intel's 10 nm process. The AMD die measures 180 mm² and contains 10,700 million transistors. The Intel die measures 215 mm²; the database does not list a transistor count for the Intel part. AMD's smaller die and denser transistor count reflect the more advanced foundry node, while Intel's larger die compensates with a larger physical footprint. Both processors are locked, since neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Cache layouts differ in capacity and organization. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Intel's L3 is three times larger, and its per-core L2 is more than double. That larger cache hierarchy could reduce memory latency in working sets that fit within the cache, though the database does not include latency measurements. Neither processor supports 3D V-Cache.

Memory support separates the two as well. The AMD part supports DDR4 only, with a dual-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also on a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure for it. Both support ECC memory, which is notable for workstation and small-server use cases. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD processor provides Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Gen 5 offers substantially higher transfer rates per lane, which matters for fast NVMe storage and high-end GPUs, though the database does not include measured PCIe throughput.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G uses Radeon Vega 6, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either, so the comparison is limited to feature presence, not measured frame rates. Socket compatibility also differs: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. That means motherboard choice is platform-bound, with AM4 offering broad compatibility with existing Ryzen boards and LGA 1700 tying the Intel part to Intel's 12th, 13th, and 14th generation platform ecosystem.

Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. The AMD part was released on 2024-09-04, and the Intel part was released on 2024-06-30. The Intel part predates the AMD part by roughly two months. Neither part has a launch MSRP listed in the database. Both are desktop market segment chips, and both support ECC memory. The Intel part is a Raptor Lake Refresh design, while the AMD part is a Zen 3 Cezanne design.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not permit a decisive performance verdict between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G has a complete benchmark profile with an average score of 27,382 and a 79th percentile standing. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries, no average score, and no percentile rank. Any claim that one chip is faster than the other in a specific workload would require head-to-head measurements that are absent from the database. What the data does show is that the AMD part is a verified, measurable performer that sits within 0.7% of four established rivals, including the Intel Core i5-12600K and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800. The Intel part is specified with more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, larger caches, and newer PCIe support, but none of those specifications have been validated by recorded benchmark results in the database.

For users who prioritize measured performance data, the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is the only one of the two with a benchmark footprint. For users who prioritize the architectural specification sheet, the Core i5-14501E offers a stronger theoretical profile on paper. The absence of Intel benchmark data means the database cannot confirm whether that theoretical profile translates into actual workload wins. The verdict, strictly from the data, is that the AMD part is a known quantity and the Intel part is an unmeasured quantity. The Intel part's higher core count and boost clock are promising indicators, but the database does not substantiate them with scores.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G wins in the category of measured data completeness. It has ten recorded benchmark scores across PassMark workloads, including single-thread at 3,096, multithread at 14,033, integer math at 45,910, and floating-point math at 25,245. Its average score of 27,382 places it in the 79th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average, which indicates the AMD part is tightly clustered with well-known mid-range performers. For any application where a verified performance baseline matters, the AMD part is the only one of the two with evidence in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins in the category of raw specification headroom. It has 6 cores versus 4, 12 threads versus 8, a boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.20 GHz, and 24 MB of L3 cache versus 8 MB. It supports DDR5 in addition to DDR4, while the AMD part supports only DDR4. Its PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 CPU lanes exceeds the AMD part's PCIe Gen 3 interface. Its per-core L1 cache is 80 KB versus 64 KB, and its per-core L2 cache is 1.25 MB versus 512 KB. These specifications point toward advantages in multi-threaded rendering, compilation, and video encoding workloads, as well as faster storage and GPU connectivity, but the database does not contain benchmark results to confirm those outcomes.

For single-thread responsiveness, the Intel part's 5.20 GHz boost clock is 1.00 GHz higher than the AMD part's 4.20 GHz boost clock. For sustained all-core workloads, the Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads provide a structural advantage over the AMD part's 4 cores and 8 threads. For platform longevity on the AMD side, the Socket AM4 interface and 7 nm TSMC process with a 180 mm² die and 10,700 million transistors represent a mature, power-consistent design. The Intel part uses Socket 1700 and a 215 mm² die on Intel's 10 nm process. Neither part has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not a differentiator. The AMD part's 79th percentile rank and verified scores make it the safer pick for users who rely on database measurements; the Intel part's specifications make it the more ambitious pick for users who extrapolate from core counts and clock speeds.
