AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 and Intel Core i5-14401TE present a clear contrast in the database, though the comparison is limited by the fact that the Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores. The Ryzen 5 150 carries a full set of PassMark measurements, while the Core i5-14401TE has an average benchmark score of 0 and an empty benchmark array. This means the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the AMD processor's recorded data, interpreted against the Intel processor's architectural positioning.

The Ryzen 5 150 posts an average benchmark score of 34881, placing it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i5-14401TE, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with no measured performance data. The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 5 150 in the database include the Intel Xeon 6349P with an average score of 34890 and a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Core 7 253PTE at 34962 with a delta of -0.2 percent, the Intel Core i7-13800H at 34988 with a delta of -0.3 percent, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35003 with a delta of -0.3 percent. These figures indicate that the Ryzen 5 150 operates in a tightly contested performance band, trailing the closest rivals by less than half a percentage point in average score.

Within its own benchmark suite, the Ryzen 5 150 shows notable strengths in specific workloads. The data compression test returns a score of 211289, which is by far the highest single score in its recorded results. Integer math reaches 62151, floating point math reaches 35118, and extended instructions score 14675. The multithread score is 17492, and the single-thread score is 3155. Data encryption posts 13425, random string sorting posts 22382, physics posts 806, and the find prime numbers test posts 47.

Because the Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries, the database cannot produce a direct numerical comparison of the two processors. The available data shows the Ryzen 5 150 as a measured performer with a substantial percentile standing, while the Intel part remains unmeasured. The absence of Intel scores means the head-to-head section cannot assign wins to either processor based on recorded data. The Ryzen 5 150 has zero recorded wins, and the Core i5-14401TE also has zero recorded wins, reflecting the lack of comparative benchmark results.

The multithread score of 17492 for the Ryzen 5 150, when viewed alongside its 84th percentile rank, suggests that the processor handles parallel workloads competently within the database's overall distribution. The single-thread score of 3155, recorded twice in the benchmark list, provides a consistent measure of per-core performance. The floating point score of 35118 and integer score of 62151 indicate balanced arithmetic throughput, with integer operations running at roughly 1.77 times the floating point rate.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 150 wins in every category where the database has recorded scores, simply because the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no measured benchmarks. The AMD part delivers a documented performance profile across eleven test entries, covering data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating point math, integer math, multithreaded workloads, physics simulations, random string sorting, and single-thread execution. Each of these tests returns a positive score, allowing a use-case split based on the AMD processor's strengths.

The data compression result of 211289 stands out as the dominant workload for the Ryzen 5 150. This score is roughly 12 times higher than the next largest result, the integer math score of 62151. Compression workloads clearly benefit from the processor's architecture and memory subsystem. The random string sorting score of 22382 and the data encryption score of 13425 further reinforce a pattern of strong performance in data manipulation tasks.

For general productivity, the multithread score of 17492 and the integer math score of 62151 indicate solid performance in CPU-bound applications that scale across cores. The floating point score of 35118 covers scientific and rendering workloads that rely on FPU throughput. Extended instructions at 14675 show support for optimized code paths that use modern instruction sets. The physics score of 806 and the prime number score of 47 represent lighter workloads where the processor's performance is more modest relative to its other results.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE, lacking any benchmark data, cannot be assigned wins in any category. The database records no scores for this processor, so any use-case analysis for it would be speculative. The Ryzen 5 150, by contrast, has a complete recorded profile that allows the database to identify its strongest areas: data compression, integer math, and multithreaded performance lead the list.

The single-thread score of 3155, appearing twice in the recorded data, provides a baseline for lightly threaded applications. The consistent recording of this value suggests stability in the measurement process. The 84th percentile standing places the Ryzen 5 150 above the majority of CPUs in the database, which supports its positioning as a capable processor for a wide range of workloads.

Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, locked multipliers, and no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between the two processors is substantial. The Ryzen 5 150 uses AMD's Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Core i5-14401TE uses Intel's Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Cache configurations differ across all levels. The Ryzen 5 150 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has larger cache allocations at every level, with 25 percent more L1 per core, 144 percent more L2 per core, and 25 percent more L3 overall.

The 6 nm process node for the Ryzen 5 150 represents a smaller feature size than the 10 nm node used for the Core i5-14401TE. Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, so the core count and thread count do not factor into the architectural difference. Instead, the differences lie in clock speeds, cache hierarchy, process technology, and supporting features.

The Ryzen 5 150 has a higher base clock of 3.30 GHz compared to 2.00 GHz for the Intel part, and a marginally higher boost clock of 4.55 GHz versus 4.50 GHz.

Memory architecture differs as well. The Ryzen 5 150 supports DDR5 exclusively and has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Core i5-14401TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving it broader compatibility, but the database records no bandwidth figure for it. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the AMD processor.

PCIe connectivity favors the AMD part in lane count and the Intel part in generation. The Ryzen 5 150 provides 20 PCIe Gen 4 lanes from the CPU. The Core i5-14401TE provides 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe generation on the Intel side offers higher per-lane bandwidth, while the AMD side offers more total lanes.

Integrated graphics differ by vendor. The Ryzen 5 150 uses Radeon 660M graphics, while the Core i5-14401TE uses UHD Graphics 730. Both processors are locked in terms of multiplier, preventing user overclocking.

The market segments reflect different design targets. The Ryzen 5 150 is a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP7, while the Core i5-14401TE is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700. The release dates place the AMD part roughly 15 months after the Intel part, with the Ryzen 5 150 launching on 2025-09-30 and the Core i5-14401TE launching on 2024-06-30.

The production status for both is listed as active, indicating that both processors remain in current production. The Ryzen 5 150 has a part number of 100-000000990(FP7r2), while the Core i5-14401TE has a part number of Q4T4SRNJP. Neither processor has recorded transistor counts in the database.
