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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 240 against the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, with zero wins recorded for either processor. This absence of direct comparison data means the analysis must rely on the specifications and the available benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen 5 240 alone.

The AMD Ryzen 5 240 has a substantial set of recorded benchmark results. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13,013 points in multi-core and 1,742 points in single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 2,078 points multi-core and 270 points single-core. These scores place the Ryzen 5 240 in the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 33,542.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its percentile rank is 50th, and its average benchmark score is listed as zero. The absence of scores for the Intel part means no numerical comparison can be drawn from benchmark data.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 240 provide context for its performance tier. The Intel Core Ultra 7 255H scores 33,537 on average, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS scores 33,667, a delta of -0.4 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 7645HX also scores 33,668, a delta of -0.4 percent. The Intel Core i5-12600HX scores 33,375, a delta of 0.5 percent. These figures indicate the Ryzen 5 240 sits within a narrow performance band, roughly 0.5 percent above or below its closest competitors.

The Passmark suite results for the Ryzen 5 240 show 22,658 in multithread, 3,675 in single-thread, 73,189 in integer math, and 45,301 in floating point math. Data compression scores 267,963, encryption scores 15,849, and extended instructions score 20,201. Prime number finding scores 70, physics scores 1,060, and random string sorting scores 32,385.

Given the lack of head-to-head data, the comparison hinges on specification differences and the architectural context provided by the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 240 clearly wins in terms of available benchmark evidence. It has 15 recorded test scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites, covering single-thread, multi-thread, math, compression, encryption, and physics workloads. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has zero recorded scores, so it cannot claim any measured performance wins in the database.

The Ryzen 5 240 achieves a 84th percentile rank among all CPUs, indicating it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals, all within a 0.5 percent delta, include both AMD and Intel parts, showing it competes at a similar level to those specific processors.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile, which in the absence of benchmark scores likely reflects a mid-range position based on other database criteria. However, without measured scores, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for the Intel part.

For workloads like data encryption, where the Ryzen 5 240 scores 15,849, and data compression, where it scores 267,963, the AMD part demonstrates specific strengths. The single-thread score of 3,675 in Passmark and 1,742 in Cinebench R23 indicate solid single-core performance for lightly threaded tasks.

The Intel part has no comparable figures. The database shows no wins for either processor in the head-to-head section, so the only clear advantage lies with the AMD processor having measurable results at all.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several key specification fields. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 uses an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Intel Socket 1700. The base clock differs significantly: the Ryzen 5 240 runs at 4.30 GHz, the Intel part at 2.20 GHz. The boost clocks are close, with 5.00 GHz for AMD and 5.10 GHz for Intel.

Memory support separates the two: the AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The memory bandwidth for the AMD part is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure listed. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part.

PCIe lanes also differ. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon 760M, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770.

The market segment places the AMD part as Mobile and the Intel part as Desktop. The release dates differ, with the AMD part dated 2025-01-05 and the Intel part dated 2024-06-30. The part numbers are 100-000001727 for AMD and Q49KSRNJN for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between these two processors is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 uses Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel.

The transistor count and die size differ markedly. AMD lists 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while Intel has no transistor count listed and a 215 mm² die size. The cache hierarchy differs per core: AMD has 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core, while Intel has 80 KB L1 and 1.25 MB L2 per core. The shared L3 cache is 16 MB on the AMD part and 24 MB on the Intel part.

The generation labels differ: AMD is Ryzen 5 (Zen 4, Hawk Point), while Intel is Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The production status for both is Active. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded, and neither does the Intel part.

The foundry difference is significant: TSMC produces the AMD chip at 4 nm, while Intel fabricates its own part at 10 nm. This process advantage likely explains the AMD part's higher base clock of 4.30 GHz versus 2.20 GHz for Intel, despite similar boost clocks.

The Verdict

The database presents an asymmetrical comparison. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 has extensive benchmark evidence, placing it in the 84th percentile, with an average score of 33,542. Its nearest rivals, all within a half percent, confirm it operates in a competitive tier alongside the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H and AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no measured scores, a 50th percentile rank, and an average score of zero. The specification sheet shows advantages for Intel in boost clock (5.10 GHz versus 5.00 GHz), L3 cache (24 MB versus 16 MB), ECC support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. The AMD part counters with a much higher base clock, a smaller 4 nm process, a higher memory bandwidth figure, and a full suite of benchmark results.

For users prioritizing measured performance, the data points to the AMD Ryzen 5 240. Its benchmark scores place it in the top 16 percent of all CPUs, and its nearest rival deltas show it trading blows with recent Intel and AMD mobile processors. The Intel Core i5-14501TE offers architectural features like ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5, but the database provides no evidence of its performance level.

The choice depends on whether the user values the recorded performance data of the AMD part or the feature set of the Intel part. The AMD Ryzen 5 240 is the only one with demonstrated results in the database. The Intel Core i5-14501TE remains an unmeasured quantity, supported only by its specification sheet.
