AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a fundamental asymmetry between these two processors: the AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE has a full suite of seventeen recorded measurements. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible, but the Intel part’s results can be read against its nearest rivals to establish its positioning.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE posts a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 17,035, which places it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database. Its average benchmark score of 26,013 sits within a tightly clustered group of competitors. The nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, scores 25,981, a delta of 0.1% in Intel’s favor. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26,106, putting it 0.4% ahead of the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25,880, a 0.5% deficit relative to Intel. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26,187, leading Intel by 0.7%. These deltas are all sub-1%, indicating that the i7-14701TE sits in a performance band where no single rival holds a decisive edge.

Single-thread performance tells a similar story. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,405 for the Intel part, combined with a PassMark single-thread score of 2,637, confirms strong per-core capability. The multi-thread PassMark score of 20,042 and the Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7,154 reinforce the pattern: this is a processor that performs competitively across both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads.

The Ryzen 5 130’s lack of recorded benchmarks means the database cannot quantify its wins. Its percentile standing of 50 against all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at 78, provides the only direct comparative signal available. The data indicates the Intel processor holds a clear advantage in the database’s overall performance distribution, but the absence of Ryzen measurements leaves the head-to-head numerically one-sided.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 uses Zen 3+ architecture under the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel’s own foundry. These process differences directly influence power characteristics: the AMD part has a 28 W TDP, while the Intel part draws 45 W.

Core counts differ as well. The Ryzen 5 130 provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, but the AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD processor lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s; the Intel processor has no recorded memory bandwidth figure.

Cache hierarchies show substantial divergence. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor therefore holds advantages in every cache level, with a particularly large L2 allocation per core and more than double the shared L3.

PCIe support also differs. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core i7-14701TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation, while the AMD part offers more lanes at the older generation.

Integrated graphics differentiate the two as well. The AMD part uses a Radeon 660M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. Both support ECC memory. Die size differs: 210 mm² for AMD versus 257 mm² for Intel. The AMD part targets the mobile market segment with an AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel part targets desktop with Intel Socket 1700.

Release timing puts the AMD part later: its release date is 2025-09-30, while the Intel part dates to 2024-06-30. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear conclusion for anyone choosing between these two processors: the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the stronger performer by every measurable metric in the database. Its 78th percentile standing versus the AMD part’s 50th percentile is the most direct signal. The Intel processor also offers more cores, more threads, more cache at every level, a higher boost clock, and newer PCIe generation.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 does hold advantages in specific areas. Its 6 nm process node is smaller than Intel’s 10 nm node. Its TDP of 28 W is substantially lower than Intel’s 45 W, making it the more power-efficient choice on paper. Its socket, FP7, targets mobile systems, which means it is designed for a different physical form factor than the desktop-oriented LGA 1700 Intel part.

From the data, the Intel Core i7-14701TE should be the pick for performance-oriented desktop builds where multi-threaded throughput and single-thread speed both matter. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 should be the pick for mobile or low-power systems where the lower TDP and smaller process node take priority. The absence of any AMD benchmark scores means the database cannot verify the Ryzen part’s actual performance, but the architectural specifications indicate a trade-off between efficiency and raw output.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins on raw performance metrics across the board. Its recorded Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,035, single-core score of 2,405, and PassMark multi-thread score of 20,042 establish it as the stronger compute part. Its 8 cores and 16 threads outmatch the AMD part’s 6 cores and 12 threads. Its 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB of L2 per core provide a substantial cache advantage over the AMD part’s 16 MB L3 and 512 KB L2 per core. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.55 GHz further favors Intel in bursty, single-threaded workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 wins on efficiency and platform characteristics. Its 28 W TDP is 17 W lower than the Intel part, which matters for thermally constrained mobile designs. Its 6 nm process node at TSMC is denser than Intel’s 10 nm node, which typically translates to lower power draw per transistor. Its PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes offers more total lanes than Intel’s Gen 5 with 16 lanes, which can matter for systems needing many simultaneous devices. The Radeon 660M integrated graphics may also be preferable for certain display or compute tasks, though the database records no direct graphics benchmarks for either part.

The market segments confirm this split. The AMD part is explicitly a mobile processor on Socket FP7, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Socket 1700. There is no overlap in physical platform, so the practical choice is dictated by the system form factor first. Within each form factor, the data favors Intel on performance and AMD on power efficiency.
