AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database splits these two processors cleanly by workload category, but only one of them has recorded performance data. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 shows active benchmark scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark suites, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This makes the comparison one-sided from a measurement standpoint.

The Ryzen 5 220 delivers its strongest results in multi-threaded productivity workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,502 points indicates solid performance for rendering and compilation tasks. The Geekbench multi-core result of 7,974 reinforces this pattern. Single-thread performance is comparatively strong as well, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,188 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2,027.

PassMark results add texture to the profile. Integer math scores 57,987, floating point math scores 35,500, and extended instructions scores 15,512. Data compression hits 212,739, while data encryption reaches 12,493. Random string sorting scores 25,433. Prime number finding is the weak spot at just 65 points. Physics scores 983, and multithreaded throughput overall lands at 18,582. Single-thread PassMark performance registers at 3,646.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE occupies the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database, but with an average benchmark score of zero and no test entries, the database records no wins for it in any category. The Ryzen 5 220 sits at the 75th percentile with an average benchmark score of 22,289. The recorded data therefore attributes every available benchmark win to the AMD part, though this reflects missing measurements for Intel rather than verified superiority in each test.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different manufacturing nodes and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 uses a 4 nm process at TSMC, packing 20,900 million transistors onto a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die and no transistor count recorded in the database.

Both processors offer 6 cores and 12 threads, but their cache hierarchies differ. The Ryzen 5 220 provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14401TE provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part holds a 4 MB advantage in shared L3 and larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations.

Clock speeds also separate them. The Ryzen 5 220 runs at a 3.20 GHz base clock and boosts to 4.90 GHz. The Intel Core i5-14401TE operates at a 2.00 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost. The AMD chip starts higher and reaches further, though the Intel part's lower base clock may reflect its 45 W TDP against the AMD's 28 W TDP.

Architecture names confirm the generational split. The AMD uses Zen 4 under the Hawk Point codename, released January 5, 2025. The Intel uses Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, released June 30, 2024. Memory support diverges: the Ryzen 5 220 supports DDR5 only with dual-channel access and a recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, with no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part.

The AMD processor integrates Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel integrates UHD Graphics 730. Socket compatibility differs completely: the Ryzen 5 220 uses AMD Socket FP8 and targets the mobile segment, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE uses Intel Socket 1700 and targets desktop. PCIe support also differs, with the AMD offering Gen 4 across 14 CPU lanes and the Intel offering Gen 5 across 16 CPU lanes.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no directly paired head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The comparison must therefore rely on the Ryzen 5 220's recorded scores and the Intel Core i5-14401TE's absence of data.

The Ryzen 5 220's nearest rivals in the database provide useful context for its performance tier. The Intel Core i7-10700K scores an average of 22,230, just 0.3% behind the Ryzen 5 220's 22,289 average. The Intel Core i5-13500H scores 22,468, which is 0.8% ahead of the AMD part. The Intel Core i7-1270P scores 22,502, 0.9% ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600X scores 21,992, 1.4% behind. These deltas place the Ryzen 5 220 in a tightly packed performance band around established desktop and mobile processors.

Within its own benchmark suite, the Ryzen 5 220 shows a clear pattern. The Cinebench R20 multi-core result of 6,510 and R15 multi-core result of 1,562 track consistently with the R23 score of 15,502. Single-core results follow the same upward progression: 918 in R20, 220 in R15, and 2,188 in R23. The Geekbench results at 7,974 multi-core and 2,027 single-core align with these figures.

PassMark data reveals workload-specific strengths. The data compression score of 212,739 is exceptionally high relative to the integer math score of 57,987, suggesting the memory subsystem handles compression workloads efficiently. Floating point math at 35,500 trails integer math, a typical pattern for x86 cores. The prime number finding score of 65 stands out as unusually low, indicating a weakness in that specific algorithmic pattern. Random string sorting at 25,433 and data encryption at 12,493 round out the specialty tests.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 5 220 is the measured performer, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries to evaluate. The Ryzen 5 220's average benchmark score of 22,289 places it at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile but with an average score of zero, meaning its percentile ranking reflects no actual measurements.

Buyers choosing between these two should consider the workload evidence available. The Ryzen 5 220 demonstrates strong multi-threaded rendering performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,502 and solid single-thread results at 2,188. Its mobile socket and 28 W TDP make it suited to compact systems. The Intel Core i5-14401TE offers ECC memory support, DDR4 compatibility, PCIe Gen 5, and a desktop socket, features that matter for workstation or server-adjacent builds where data integrity and older memory ecosystems are priorities.

The Intel part's 45 W TDP and desktop segment classification suggest a different design intent: a low-power desktop chip for always-on systems. Its 20 MB of L3 cache exceeds the AMD's 16 MB, and its larger per-core L1 and L2 caches could benefit cache-sensitive workloads. But without benchmark data, the database cannot confirm whether those architectural advantages translate into measurable performance gains.

The Ryzen 5 220's nearest rival comparisons show it trades blows with established processors. It edges the Intel Core i7-10700K by 0.3% and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X by 1.4%, while trailing the Intel Core i5-13500H by 0.8% and the Intel Core i7-1270P by 0.9%. These margins are small, placing the Ryzen 5 220 in a competitive middle ground.

For users who need verified performance and prefer a mobile platform with modern DDR5 and a 4 nm process, the Ryzen 5 220 is the only option with recorded results. For users who require ECC memory, DDR4 support, PCIe Gen 5, or a desktop socket, the Intel Core i5-14401TE offers those specific features, but its performance profile remains unmeasured in the database.
