AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 5 220, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE has no benchmark entries. Consequently, a direct head-to-head comparison based on measured scores cannot be constructed from the available data. The Ryzen 5 220 delivers a multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 15502 and a single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2188. Its Geekbench results show 7974 for multi-core and 2027 for single-core. The PassMark suite for the Ryzen 5 220 includes a multi-thread score of 18582, a single-thread score of 3646, integer math at 57987, and floating point math at 35500. Data compression scores 212739, while encryption scores 12493.

Without any recorded benchmark scores for the Intel Core i9-14901KE, the database cannot compute win counts, deltas, or percentile comparisons between the two processors. The Ryzen 5 220 holds a 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22289. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-10700K at 22230, which is 0.3% behind, and the Intel Core i5-13500H at 22468, which is 0.8% ahead. The Intel Core i7-1270P sits 0.9% ahead at 22502, and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X trails by 1.4% at 21992. These rival deltas are all within roughly a single percentage point, indicating that the Ryzen 5 220's measured performance clusters tightly with a group of established mid-range processors. The Intel Core i9-14901KE, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking, reflecting the absence of test data rather than a measured performance level.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 220 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a die of 137 mm². The Intel Core i9-14901KE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a die size of 257 mm². The transistor count for the Intel part is not recorded in the database.

Cache structures differ substantially. The Ryzen 5 220 provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i9-14901KE provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor therefore has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations and more than double the shared L3 capacity.

The memory controllers also diverge. The Ryzen 5 220 supports DDR5 memory only, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i9-14901KE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded. The Intel part also includes ECC memory support, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. The Ryzen 5 220 uses PCIe Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel processor has a newer PCIe generation and two additional lanes.

Integrated graphics are present on both. The Ryzen 5 220 uses the Radeon 740M, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part is classified as a mobile processor on AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field. Core counts: 6 cores and 12 threads for the Ryzen 5 220 versus 8 cores and 16 threads for the Intel Core i9-14901KE. Clock speeds: the Ryzen 5 220 has a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.80 GHz. Thermal design power: 28 W for the AMD part versus 125 W for the Intel part. The Ryzen 5 220's TDP is less than a quarter of the Intel processor's TDP.

Socket types are incompatible: AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel Socket 1700. Process node: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. Foundry: TSMC versus Intel. Die size: 137 mm² versus 257 mm². The Ryzen 5 220's transistor count is 20,900 million, while the Intel part has no recorded transistor count.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE has an unlocked multiplier, while the AMD Ryzen 5 220 does not. Memory support: DDR5 only for the AMD part versus DDR4 and DDR5 for the Intel part. ECC memory: not supported on the AMD part, supported on the Intel part. PCIe: Gen 4 with 14 lanes for AMD versus Gen 5 with 16 lanes for Intel. Integrated graphics: Radeon 740M versus UHD Graphics 770.

Market segment: mobile for the AMD part, desktop for the Intel part. Release dates: the Ryzen 5 220 was released on January 5, 2025, while the Intel Core i9-14901KE was released on June 30, 2024. The Ryzen 5 220 has a part number of 100-000001611, and the Intel part has a part number of Q49DSRNJC. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, while the AMD part has no series designation.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on measured results and platform characteristics. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores, so any performance evaluation must rest on its profile. Its 75th percentile ranking and average score of 22289 place it in line with the Intel Core i7-10700K, Intel Core i5-13500H, Intel Core i7-1270P, and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, all within 1.4% of its average score. The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no benchmark data, which means the database cannot confirm or deny any performance advantage.

The specification sheet favors the Intel part on raw core count, clocks, cache, and PCIe generation. It has 8 cores versus 6, a 5.80 GHz boost versus 4.90 GHz, 36 MB of L3 versus 16 MB, and PCIe Gen 5 versus Gen 4. But the AMD part delivers a dramatically lower TDP of 28 W versus 125 W, a smaller die at 137 mm² versus 257 mm², and a more advanced 4 nm process versus 10 nm. The Ryzen 5 220 also integrates a Radeon 740M GPU and supports DDR5, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 along with ECC memory.

For a user constrained to mobile platforms, the Ryzen 5 220 is the only option in this comparison, as it occupies the mobile segment on AMD Socket FP8. For a desktop build requiring high core counts, high boost clocks, ECC memory, and an unlocked multiplier, the Intel Core i9-14901KE provides those features on Intel Socket 1700. The absence of benchmark scores for the Intel processor prevents any verdict on its measured performance. The database can only state that the Ryzen 5 220 has verified results and the Intel part does not.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 220 wins in measured performance verification. It has a complete suite of benchmark scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, Geekbench, and PassMark workloads. Its average benchmark score of 22289 places it in the 75th percentile, and its closest rival deltas are all within 1.4%, showing consistent mid-range positioning. It also wins on power efficiency, with a 28 W TDP versus 125 W, and on process technology, with 4 nm versus 10 nm. Its mobile market segment and AMD Socket FP8 make it the applicable choice for portable systems.

The Intel Core i9-14901KE wins on raw specification headroom. It offers 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads, higher base and boost clocks (3.80 GHz and 5.80 GHz versus 3.20 GHz and 4.90 GHz), larger L1 per core (80 KB versus 64 KB), larger L2 per core (2 MB versus 1 MB), and more shared L3 (36 MB versus 16 MB). It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, includes ECC support, uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 14 lanes, and has an unlocked multiplier. Its desktop segment and Intel Socket 1700 target fixed systems.

The database records no benchmark wins for either processor, because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty and the Intel part has no scores. The Ryzen 5 220's wins are therefore limited to its measured performance profile and efficiency characteristics. The Intel Core i9-14901KE's wins are limited to its specification advantages. Users selecting between these two parts must weigh verified benchmark performance and low power draw against higher core counts, faster clocks, larger cache, and broader memory support. The data does not support a single winner across all categories.
