AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 5 130 and the Intel Core i5-14490F. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters show zero for both processors. This means a direct score-for-score comparison cannot be constructed from recorded measurements. What can be analyzed is the Intel processor's standalone benchmark suite, which provides a reference point for its performance profile, while the AMD entry carries no benchmark scores at all.

The Core i5-14490F's recorded data shows a strong multi-core showing. In Cinebench R23, it scores 23000 in the multi-core test and 3247 in the single-core test. The R20 results follow a similar pattern: 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core. The R15 run produces 2318 multi-core and 327 single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that scales well with thread count, which aligns with its 10-core, 16-thread configuration.

PassMark results reinforce this. The multi-thread score sits at 28662, while single-thread reaches 3873. Integer math posts 87844, floating point math records 66558, and extended instructions score 21731. Data compression reaches 340026, while data encryption is far lower at 18225. Find prime numbers returns a modest 122, and random string sorting produces 35608. Physics testing delivers 2093. The spread between integer and floating point workloads, and the large gap between data compression and encryption, suggest the processor handles parallel integer-heavy tasks more readily than cryptographic-style workloads.

Percentile data places the Core i5-14490F at 86, meaning it sits above the majority of all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 38149. The nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T averages 38194, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-14490F. The Intel Core i5-13600KF averages 38103, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 averages 38221, 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX averages 38261, 0.3% higher. These deltas are small, indicating the i5-14490F sits in a competitive band where a few points separate it from its closest peers. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no such data, so no comparative statement about its standing can be made from the records.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The die sizes are close: AMD measures 210 mm², Intel measures 215 mm². Both are active production parts.

Core counts differ. AMD provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while Intel provides 10 cores and 16 threads. Clock behavior also differs: AMD's base clock is 2.90 GHz with a boost of 4.55 GHz, while Intel's base is 2.50 GHz with a boost of 5.00 GHz. The Intel part boosts higher, but the AMD part starts at a higher base frequency.

Cache hierarchies are structurally different. AMD uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel design has more L1 per core, more L2 per core, and more total L3. The AMD design has a smaller overall cache footprint.

Memory support splits them. AMD supports only DDR5, dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth figure of 76.8 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded for Intel. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part, while Intel does not support ECC. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part has a newer PCIe generation but fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics separate them further. AMD includes a Radeon 660M iGPU, while Intel records N/A for integrated graphics, meaning no iGPU on this desktop part. The market segments differ: AMD is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP7, while Intel is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. Both have locked multipliers, so neither supports overclocking via multiplier adjustment.

Release dates differ by nearly two years. AMD's release date is September 30, 2025, while Intel's is December 31, 2023. This places the AMD part as a newer mobile offering, while Intel's chip has been in the desktop market longer.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins on raw thread count, offering 10 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads on the AMD part. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz exceeds AMD's 4.55 GHz, and its cache hierarchy is larger at every level: 80 KB L1 per core versus 64 KB, 1.25 MB L2 per core versus 512 KB, and 24 MB L3 versus 16 MB. Its PCIe Gen 5 support provides a newer interconnect generation, though with fewer lanes. Its recorded benchmark scores, which place it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, confirm strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance in the database.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 wins on efficiency and integration. Its TDP of 28 is substantially lower than Intel's 65, indicating a much lower power envelope. Its 6 nm process node gives it a manufacturing advantage over Intel's 10 nm node. It supports ECC memory, which Intel does not. It includes a Radeon 660M iGPU, meaning the chip can drive a display without a discrete graphics card. Its PCIe Gen 4 interface, while older, offers 20 lanes versus Intel's 16. Its memory bandwidth is recorded at 76.8 GB/s, while Intel's is not recorded. It also has a higher base clock at 2.90 GHz versus 2.50 GHz.

The AMD part is a mobile processor, so its wins are oriented toward lower power consumption, integrated graphics, and ECC support. The Intel part is a desktop processor, so its wins are oriented toward higher core counts, higher boost clocks, larger caches, and a newer PCIe generation. The release dates reflect this split: Intel launched in late 2023, AMD in late 2025.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split by use case. The Intel Core i5-14490F is the stronger compute part in the database, with 10 cores, 16 threads, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, and benchmark scores that place it at the 86th percentile. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 and PassMark multi-thread score of 28662 indicate a processor designed for heavy parallel workloads. Its nearest rivals all fall within 0.3% of its average score, showing it competes in a dense performance band. For workloads that need many threads and high single-core speed, the Intel part has the recorded evidence.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its performance position cannot be quantified. What the data does show is a mobile processor with a 28 TDP, a 6 nm process, a Radeon 660M iGPU, ECC memory support, and DDR5-only memory. Its 6 cores and 12 threads are fewer than Intel's, and its 4.55 GHz boost clock is lower. It is a newer release with a later date, but the database records no performance measurements to support a claim of competitive speed.

The choice follows the form factor and requirements. Systems requiring a desktop CPU with high multi-threaded throughput and a high boost clock should use the Intel Core i5-14490F. Systems requiring a mobile CPU with low power draw, integrated graphics, and ECC memory should use the AMD Ryzen 5 130. The Intel part's superiority in core count, cache size, and recorded benchmarks makes it the performance pick. The AMD part's superiority in power efficiency, process node, and integrated features makes it the integration pick. No shared benchmark data exists to compare them directly, so the verdict rests on architecture, specifications, and the Intel part's standalone scores.
