AMD Ryzen 5 150 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a substantial performance gap between the AMD Ryzen 5 150 and the Intel Core i5-14501E, though the comparison is limited to one side. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 has a complete set of PassMark benchmark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This absence of data for the Intel part means the head-to-head comparison must rely on the AMD processor’s absolute scores and its position among the nearest rivals.

The AMD Ryzen 5 150 delivers a multithread score of 17,492 in PassMark. That figure places it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly five out of every six processors recorded. The single-thread score stands at 3,155, which is a relatively modest figure for a modern six-core part, but the processor compensates with strong aggregate throughput. The floating point math score of 35,118 and integer math score of 62,151 indicate a balanced execution capability across both arithmetic types, with integer operations leading by a wide margin.

The database records an average benchmark score of 34,881 for the AMD Ryzen 5 150. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6349P at 34,890 (exactly 0% delta), the Intel Core 7 253PTE at 34,962 (-0.2% delta), the Intel Core i7-13800H at 34,988 (-0.3% delta), and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35,003 (-0.3% delta). The Ryzen 5 150 sits within a strikingly tight cluster: it trails the Xeon by only 9 points, the Core 7 by 81 points, the i7-13800H by 107 points, and the i9-12900HX by 122 points. These deltas are negligible in percentage terms, all within a third of a percent. The practical implication is that the Ryzen 5 150 performs nearly identically to a range of higher-tier Intel mobile and desktop parts from previous generations, despite its lower TDP envelope.

Looking at individual workload scores for the AMD part, the data reveals specific strengths. The data compression test yields 211,289, which is by far the highest recorded score across any individual test for this processor. The random string sorting test produces 22,382, and the extended instructions test scores 14,675. Data encryption returns 13,425, while the find prime numbers test is notably low at just 47. The physics test scores 806, which is a modest figure suggesting the processor is not primarily optimized for rigid-body physics simulations, but rather for general-purpose integer and floating point workloads.

Because the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmarks listed, the head-to-head section cannot provide direct win/loss counts. The winsA and winsB fields both read zero. The analysis must therefore pivot to what the database does contain: the AMD processor’s percentile ranking, its average score, and its rival cluster. The Intel part’s percentile is 50, which is the median position, but with no average score or rival data, that percentile cannot be verified against any measured output. It appears in the database as a placeholder value rather than a derived statistic.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but conditional conclusion. For users who rely on measured benchmark outputs, the AMD Ryzen 5 150 is the only part in this comparison with verifiable performance records. Its 84th percentile ranking and average score of 34,881 place it in the upper-middle tier of all recorded CPUs. The Intel Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has zero recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile, which is the database median. Without any measured data for the Intel part, a direct performance verdict is impossible.

The nearest rival data for the AMD part shows that it trades blows with the Intel Xeon 6349P, Core 7 253PTE, Core i7-13800H, and Core i9-12900HX, all within a 0.3% delta. This means the Ryzen 5 150 delivers performance comparable to those higher-tier Intel parts, despite being a mobile-segment processor with a 35W TDP. The Intel Core i5-14501E, a desktop part with a 65W TDP, has no such corroborating data. From the database’s perspective, the AMD processor is the only option with demonstrated capabilities.

Users should note that the Intel part’s market segment is Desktop, while the AMD part is Mobile. That difference alone may dictate the choice regardless of performance. The database shows the AMD part as active in production, and the Intel part as active as well, but the absence of Intel benchmark data means any performance claim about the i5-14501E would be speculation. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 5 150 has proven scores, and the Intel Core i5-14501E does not.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in architecture, process node, and platform characteristics. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 uses the Zen 3+ architecture, specifically the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The die sizes are nearly identical: 210 mm² for the AMD part and 215 mm² for the Intel part.

Both processors have six cores and twelve threads, so the core and thread counts match exactly. Base clocks also match at 3.30 GHz. The boost clocks differ significantly: the AMD part boosts to 4.55 GHz, while the Intel part boosts to 5.20 GHz. That 0.65 GHz advantage for Intel suggests a higher peak single-thread capability, though no benchmark data confirms it.

Cache hierarchies show clear differences. 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, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. Intel leads in every cache level: 16 KB more L1 per core, 0.75 MB more L2 per core, and 8 MB more L3 in total. The larger cache hierarchy on the Intel part could benefit workloads with high data reuse, but again, no measured scores exist to confirm that.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. The AMD part does not support ECC memory, while the Intel part does support ECC memory. This is a notable feature split: the Intel part targets reliability-sensitive environments, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe capabilities also differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel’s newer PCIe generation offers higher per-lane bandwidth, but AMD provides more total lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part has Radeon 660M, while the Intel part has UHD Graphics 770. Both provide on-die display output, but the specific capabilities are not benchmarked in the database.

The sockets differ entirely: AMD uses Socket FP7, and Intel uses Socket 1700. The market segments also differ: AMD is Mobile, Intel is Desktop. The TDP values show a substantial gap: 35W for the AMD part versus 65W for the Intel part. The AMD part uses nearly half the thermal envelope while delivering a comparable average score to high-end Intel parts, according to the rival data.
