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

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is the only one of these two processors with recorded benchmark results in the database. Its benchmark suite covers 17 distinct workloads spanning Cinebench rendering tests and PassMark compute tasks. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries recorded, so direct head-to-head wins cannot be established from measured data. The database shows zero wins for each processor in head-to-head comparisons, reflecting the absence of paired test results rather than a performance verdict.

Looking at the AMD part alone, its results split into clear strength areas. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10846 and single-core score of 1531 show balanced throughput. PassMark integer math at 44665 and floating point math at 24115 both sit well above the encryption score of 9564, indicating the chip handles general arithmetic workloads more comfortably than cryptographic operations. Data compression at 152885 stands out as the highest raw score in the entire suite, while find prime numbers at 31 is the lowest, a pattern consistent with a processor that favors data movement and parallel integer work over latency-sensitive prime sieving.

The 71st percentile ranking against all CPUs places this chip above the median but not near the top of the database. Its average benchmark score of 17482 sits within a tight cluster of rivals: the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G scores 17507 (0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614 (0.8% higher), and the Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395 (0.5% lower). The Ryzen 5 4500 trails at 17333 (0.9% lower). These deltas are all under one percent, meaning the 5355GE effectively trades blows with its closest neighbors in aggregate performance.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two parts is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE uses Zen 3 architecture on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD chip carries 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die, while the Intel die measures 215 mm² with no transistor count recorded.

Cache organization differs fundamentally. The AMD processor uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part thus has more L3 cache by a factor of three, plus larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD chip supports DDR4 only, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD processor lists a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while the Intel processor has no bandwidth figure recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs sharply: the AMD part provides Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD chip uses Radeon Vega 6, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. Both processors are locked (multiplier unlocked is false for each), target the desktop segment, and remain in active production. The AMD part shipped on 2024-09-04, while the Intel part shipped on 2024-06-30. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE uses 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks sit at 3.60 GHz for AMD and 3.30 GHz for Intel, while boost clocks reach 4.20 GHz for AMD and 5.20 GHz for Intel. Thermal design power is 35 W for the AMD part and 65 W for the Intel part.

Sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket AM4 versus Intel Socket 1700. Process nodes differ at 7 nm (TSMC) versus 10 nm (Intel). Die sizes are 180 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel, with transistor counts at 10,700 million for AMD and no recorded figure for Intel. Cache per core differs: 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 for AMD, versus 80 KB L1 and 1.25 MB L2 for Intel. Shared L3 is 8 MB for AMD and 24 MB for Intel.

Memory support shows DDR4 only for AMD versus DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth is recorded at 51.2 GB/s for AMD, with no figure for Intel. PCIe generation differs at Gen 3 for AMD versus Gen 5 for Intel, though both provide 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 6 on AMD and UHD Graphics 770 on Intel.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No paired benchmark results exist in the database for these two processors. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the win counts are zero for both sides. This absence of direct measurements means the only quantitative comparison available comes from the AMD part's standalone scores and its nearest-rival deltas.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE does have a full benchmark profile worth examining. In Cinebench R23, it scores 10846 multicore and 1531 single-core. The R20 run shows 4555 multicore and 643 single-core, while the R15 run shows 1093 multicore and 154 single-core. These results indicate a roughly 7:1 multicore to single-core ratio in R23, which is typical for a 4-core, 8-thread part with simultaneous multithreading.

PassMark results add texture. Multithread score stands at 12761, with single-thread at 3089. Integer math at 44665 leads floating point math at 24115, a 1.85 ratio. Extended instructions score 10368, data encryption 9564, and data compression 152885. Random string sorting hits 17255, while physics scores 552 and find prime numbers scores 31. The compression score is more than 15 times the encryption score, suggesting the chip's memory subsystem and integer pipelines are better suited to streaming data than to cryptographic work.

The nearest-rival data places the AMD chip in a tight competitive band. Against the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, the delta is -0.1%, essentially a statistical tie. Against the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, the delta is -0.8%, a small but consistent gap. Against the Intel Core 7 150U, the delta is +0.5%, and against the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, it is +0.9%. All four rivals sit within one percent of the 5355GE's average score, which means the choice among these parts would depend on workload-specific behavior rather than aggregate performance.

Since the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmarks, its percentile ranking of 50 and average score of 0 cannot be directly compared to the AMD part's 71st percentile and 17482 average. The absence of data does not imply equivalence or superiority; it simply means the database cannot currently support a measured comparison.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only a limited verdict. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has a complete benchmark profile, a 71st percentile ranking, and an average score of 17482. It sits within one percent of four nearest rivals, all of which are AMD or Intel parts in the same performance class. Its 4-core, 8-thread configuration with a 35 W TDP and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth positions it as a low-power desktop part with balanced compute performance, strongest in data compression and integer math.

The Intel Core i5-14501E offers more cores (6 versus 4), more threads (12 versus 8), a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.20 GHz), more L3 cache (24 MB versus 8 MB), newer PCIe (Gen 5 versus Gen 3), and broader memory support (DDR4 and DDR5 versus DDR4 only). Its 65 W TDP is nearly double the AMD part's 35 W. None of these specifications are benchmark-validated in the database, so they describe capability rather than measured performance.

The database shows no recorded wins for either processor in head-to-head testing. Buyers choosing between these parts would rely on the architectural and specification differences: the AMD chip for lower power draw and a smaller die, the Intel chip for more cores, higher clocks, larger cache, and newer platform features. The benchmark data currently available only fully characterizes the AMD side, which makes a definitive performance ranking impossible from the recorded measurements alone.
