AMD Ryzen 5 240 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen 5 240, but no recorded benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501E. This means the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the AMD part's absolute scores, its percentile placement, and the architectural specifications of both processors. The Intel chip's avgBenchmarkScore is listed as 0 in the database, with an empty benchmarks array and no nearest rivals, so no direct numerical deltas can be computed between the two.

The AMD Ryzen 5 240 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13013 and a single-core score of 1742. In Cinebench R15, it reaches 2078 multi-core and 270 single-core. These results position the chip at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 33542. Its nearest rivals, as recorded, include the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H at 33537 average score with a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS at 33667 with a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7645HX at 33668 with a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i5-12600HX at 33375 with a delta of 0.5%. The Ryzen 5 240 sits essentially level with these parts, within a half percent in either direction.

PassMark results for the AMD chip show a multi-thread score of 22658 and a single-thread score of 3675. Integer math reaches 73189, floating point math 45301, and extended instructions 20201. Data compression scores 267963, data encryption 15849, find prime numbers 70, physics 1060, and random string sorting 32385. These figures give a broad view of the Ryzen 5 240's capabilities, but without corresponding Intel numbers, the head-to-head section cannot claim wins or losses in specific tests.

Where Each One Wins

Since the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries in the database, the wins analysis is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 demonstrates strengths across integer and floating point workloads, with its PassMark integer math score of 73189 exceeding its floating point math score of 45301 by a substantial margin. Data compression at 267963 is the highest single PassMark subtest score recorded for the AMD part, indicating strong performance in compression-oriented tasks. Data encryption at 15849 and random string sorting at 32385 round out the throughput-oriented results.

The Intel Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has no recorded measurements. The database shows its percentileVsAllCpus as 50, which is lower than the AMD part's 84th percentile, but this percentile is not tied to any specific benchmark scores. The Intel chip's market segment is desktop, while the AMD chip is mobile, which suggests different intended usage environments, but the database provides no test scores to quantify performance differences in those contexts.

For workloads that depend on single-thread speed, the AMD part's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1742 and PassMark single-thread score of 3675 stand as the only available figures. For multi-threaded tasks, the R23 multi-core score of 13013 and PassMark multi-thread score of 22658 define the AMD side. The absence of Intel scores means no workload category can be assigned to the Intel chip as a winner; the data simply does not include measurements for it.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 240 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 25,000 million transistors on a die size of 178 mm². The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm² and no transistor count recorded in the database.

Both processors have 6 cores and 12 threads, but their cache hierarchies differ. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip carries more cache at every level.

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 has a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The AMD part starts higher but boosts lower; the Intel part starts lower but boosts higher.

Power and platform specifications diverge as well. The AMD chip has a TDP of 45 watts and uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip has a TDP of 65 watts and uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part supports DDR5 memory only, with dual-channel bus and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, and does not support ECC memory. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with no memory bandwidth figure recorded, and it does support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD chip offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 760M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Release dates show the Intel Core i5-14501E launched on 2024-06-30, and the AMD Ryzen 5 240 launched on 2025-01-05. Both are listed as Active in production status. The AMD part is marked as Mobile segment, the Intel part as Desktop. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.

The Verdict

The data strongly favors the AMD Ryzen 5 240 for anyone seeking quantified performance, simply because the database contains a full set of benchmark results for it and none for the Intel Core i5-14501E. The AMD chip's 84th percentile ranking and average score of 33542 place it alongside established parts like the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H and AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS, all within a 0.5% delta. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded scores, no rivals, and an average score of 0, so no performance verdict can be derived from measurements.

The architecture comparison shows the AMD part on a smaller 4 nm TSMC process versus Intel's 10 nm process, with the AMD chip using less power at 45 watts versus 65 watts. The Intel part offers more cache at every level and a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz, along with ECC memory support and both DDR4 and DDR5 compatibility. The AMD part counters with a higher base clock, higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s, and more PCIe lanes at 20 Gen 4 lanes versus 16 Gen 5 lanes.

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 240 is the only one of the two with measurable performance, and its results indicate a capable 6-core, 12-thread processor. The Intel Core i5-14501E cannot be assessed numerically from this database, so any selection between the two must rely on the architectural specifications alone. The AMD chip suits a mobile platform with lower power draw, while the Intel chip targets desktop use with higher power and ECC support. Based strictly on the available measurements, the Ryzen 5 240 is the sole part with benchmark validation.
