AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G holds a decisive performance edge in every recorded benchmark category. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark entries in the database, leaving the AMD processor as the only measured contender in this comparison. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G achieves an average benchmark score of 27,382, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of zero due to the absence of recorded measurements.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G posts its strongest absolute result in data compression with a score of 168,041. This is far ahead of its own multithread score of 14,033, which itself is a solid result for a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor. Integer math reaches 45,910, while floating point math lands at 25,245. Single-thread performance registers at 3,096, which is the same value recorded by both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread tests.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Ryzen's standing. The Intel Core i7-13700H scores 27,355, which is 0.1% behind the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H scores 27,507, putting it 0.5% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27,535, which is 0.6% ahead. The Intel Core i5-12600K scores 27,578, 0.7% ahead. These deltas are small, indicating that the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G sits in a tightly contested performance band despite its modest core count.

Data encryption on the Ryzen scores 10,288, while extended instructions reach 11,935. Prime number finding scores a relatively low 36, which is typical for a workload that does not scale well with the processor's architecture. Random string sorting reaches 18,819, and physics simulation scores 701. The multithread score of 14,033 combined with the single-thread score of 3,096 shows a ratio of roughly 4.5 to 1, reflecting the processor's ability to extract parallelism from its 8 threads.

The absence of any benchmarks for the Intel Core i9-14901TE means the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The data cannot show any category where the Intel processor wins, because no measurements exist. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G wins all 11 recorded test categories by default, although the practical interpretation is that the Intel part simply lacks verification data in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G wins in every measured workload category. Data compression at 168,041 is its dominant result, suggesting strength in workloads that involve large data streams and compression algorithms. Integer math at 45,910 indicates solid general-purpose compute performance. Floating point math at 25,245 shows capability in scientific and engineering calculations. Encryption at 10,288 demonstrates acceptable security workload performance.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE wins no recorded categories because no benchmark data exists for it. However, its specifications suggest where it might hold advantages if measured. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, double the thread count of the AMD part. Its boost clock of 5.50 GHz is substantially higher than the AMD's 4.20 GHz. These specifications point toward potential strength in heavily threaded workloads and single-thread burst performance, but the database contains no scores to confirm this.

Memory support is another differentiator. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD processor supports only DDR4. This gives the Intel part access to newer memory technology, though no bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part. The AMD processor records a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is a concrete number that the Intel part cannot match in the data.

PCIe support also separates the two. The Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD processor uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes. This means the Intel part can connect to faster storage and graphics interfaces, assuming the platform supports it. The AMD part's Gen 3 interface is older and slower, but it is sufficient for many desktop workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing generations and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It is built on a 7 nm process by TSMC and contains 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. It is built on a 10 nm process by Intel with a die size of 257 mm². The transistor count for the Intel part is not recorded.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's L3 cache is more than four times larger, which can improve performance in workloads with large working sets that fit in cache.

The core configurations are fundamentally different. The AMD part uses 4 cores and 8 threads, which indicates simultaneous multithreading. The Intel part uses 8 cores and 16 threads, also with simultaneous multithreading. This means the Intel part has double the logical processors, which can help in parallel workloads if the software scales well.

Clock speeds show different design targets. The AMD processor has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel processor has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part has a much wider clock range, starting lower but boosting much higher. The AMD part runs at a relatively high base clock with a narrow boost range.

Thermal design power also differs. The AMD processor has a TDP of 65 watts, while the Intel processor has a TDP of 45 watts. This suggests the Intel part is designed for lower sustained power consumption, though its boost behavior may draw more power transiently. The AMD part runs at a higher sustained power level.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor uses Radeon Vega 6, while the Intel processor uses UHD Graphics 770. No benchmark scores are recorded for either integrated GPU, so the comparison is limited to naming the components.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G in measured performance. It has a recorded average benchmark score of 27,382 and sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmarks and sits in the 50th percentile with a score of zero. Any user selecting between these two based strictly on database measurements would choose the AMD part.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average score, confirming that it performs at a competitive level for its class. The Intel Core i7-13700H is 0.1% behind, the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is 0.5% ahead, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.6% ahead, and the Intel Core i5-12600K is 0.7% ahead. These are small margins, meaning the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G delivers performance consistent with processors that have more cores or newer designs.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE offers specifications that could translate to advantages in certain workloads. Its 8 cores and 16 threads double the thread count of the AMD part. Its 5.50 GHz boost clock is significantly higher. Its 36 MB L3 cache is larger. Its Gen 5 PCIe interface is newer. Its support for DDR5 memory is more modern. But none of these advantages are confirmed by benchmark results in the database.

The AMD processor's strengths are confirmed by numbers. Its data compression score of 168,041 is exceptional. Its multithread score of 14,033 is solid for a 4-core part. Its single-thread score of 3,096 is respectable. Its percentile ranking of 79 places it above half of all tracked CPUs.

The Intel processor's strengths remain speculative. The database shows no measurements for any workload. The 50th percentile ranking is based on its presence in the database, not on performance data. Without scores, the Intel part cannot be recommended over the AMD part based on evidence.

The verdict is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G has the measured performance data to support a purchase decision, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE does not. Users who require verified benchmark results should choose the AMD part. Users who prioritize the Intel part's higher core count, higher boost clock, larger cache, or newer platform features must do so without any database confirmation of performance. The recorded data supports only one conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is the verified performer in this comparison.
