AMD Ryzen 5 40 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a stark asymmetry in benchmark coverage between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 40 has a complete set of measured scores across Cinebench and PassMark tests, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This makes direct side-by-side comparison impossible for specific workload tests, but the available data on the AMD part allows for meaningful interpretation of its standing among all CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 4841 and a single-core score of 1150. In the older Cinebench R15 suite, it delivers 790 multi-core and 165.5 single-core points. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 9341, a single-thread score of 2477, and an average benchmark score of 15882. The processor sits at the 70th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database, which places it above the median but below the high-end desktop parts.

Its nearest rivals in the database provide context for this average score. The AMD EPYC 75F3 records an average score of 15859, which is 0.1% below the Ryzen 5 40. The Intel Core Ultra 5 134U scores 15910, 0.2% higher. The AMD EPYC 9354P comes in at 15826, 0.4% lower, and the AMD EPYC 9334 reaches 15940, 0.4% higher. These deltas are minimal, indicating that the Ryzen 5 40's overall average performance clusters tightly with a group of server and mobile processors that are not direct competitors in terms of market segment. The narrow spread, less than 1% in either direction, suggests that the average benchmark score is a stable metric for this chip.

The Intel Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and a percentile rank of 50, meaning the database contains no validated measurements for it. Without any scores, there are no wins to attribute to either side in head-to-head testing. The Ryzen 5 40's wins are all relative to the broader CPU population, not to this specific Intel part.

The Verdict

From the recorded data alone, the AMD Ryzen 5 40 is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance metrics. It delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 4841 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 9341, with a single-thread PassMark score of 2477. These figures place it at the 70th percentile of all CPUs, which indicates solid mid-pack performance for general productivity tasks.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores in the database, so no performance claims can be made for it based on measurements. The database shows it at the 50th percentile as a default value, which is not derived from any recorded tests. Any user consulting this database for performance data would find the AMD part actionable and the Intel part unverifiable.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the Ryzen 5 40's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 4841 and PassMark integer math score of 31598 provide usable reference points. For single-threaded tasks, the PassMark single-thread score of 2477 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1150 are the relevant figures. The data does not support a recommendation for the Intel part because there is no evidence of its performance in the database.

The choice between these two, strictly from the data, favors the AMD Ryzen 5 40, not because it is faster in any direct comparison, but because it is the only one with measured results. The Intel Core i5-14501E remains uncharacterized.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across every major specification field in the database.

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are 2.80 GHz for the AMD part and 3.30 GHz for the Intel part. Boost clocks are 4.30 GHz and 5.20 GHz respectively. Thermal design power is 15 watts for the AMD and 65 watts for the Intel.

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 uses AMD Socket FT6, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is a mobile-segment processor; the Intel part is a desktop-segment processor.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 4 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3.

Memory support also diverges: the AMD Ryzen 5 40 supports LPDDR5 with a measured memory bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s and does not support ECC memory. The Intel Core i5-14501E supports both DDR4 and DDR5, has no recorded memory bandwidth figure, and does support ECC memory.

The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 3 with 4 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel part provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD uses Radeon 610M, the Intel uses UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 was released on 2025-09-30, while the Intel Core i5-14501E was released on 2024-06-30. Neither processor has a launch MSRP in the database, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 is built on the Zen 2 architecture with the codename Mendocino, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 100 mm². The Intel Core i5-14501E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. Its die size is 215 mm².

The AMD part belongs to the Ryzen 5 generation (Zen 2, Mendocino), while the Intel part belongs to the Core 14th Gen generation (Raptor Lake Refresh). The AMD chip has no series designation recorded; the Intel chip is listed under the Core 14th Gen series.

The cache hierarchy reflects the architectural differences. The AMD Zen 2 design allocates 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core, with a 4 MB shared L3. The Intel Raptor Lake design allocates 80 KB L1 and 1.25 MB L2 per core, with a 24 MB shared L3. The larger L3 on the Intel part, 24 MB versus 4 MB, is the most pronounced architectural gap.

The memory controllers differ in capability. The AMD part supports only LPDDR5, which is typical for a low-power mobile chip with a 15-watt TDP. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, which aligns with its desktop segment and 65-watt TDP. ECC support is present only on the Intel part.

PCIe capability also reflects the divergence: the AMD part uses Gen 3 with 4 lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The integrated GPU differs in branding, with Radeon 610M on the AMD side and UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel side.

The production status for both is active. The AMD part has a part number listed as "unknown", while the Intel part has the part number Q49HSRNJM.
