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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 and Intel Core i5-14501TE occupy different segments, and the recorded data reflects that split. The Ryzen 5 40 is a mobile processor with a full set of benchmark results, while the Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes direct comparisons limited, but the available data still provides a clear picture of where each processor stands.

The Ryzen 5 40 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 4841 and a single-core score of 1150. Its Cinebench R15 results are 790 for multi-core and 165.5 for single-core. In PassMark tests, the Ryzen 5 40 scores 9341 in multithread, 2477 in single-thread, 31598 in integer math, 15194 in floating point math, and 141533 in data compression. The data encryption score is 6646, extended instructions score is 6437, and random string sorting is 15124. The physics score is 432, and the find prime numbers score is 20.

The Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries in the database, so there are no head-to-head scores to compare directly. The database records zero wins for either processor in direct benchmark comparisons. The absence of data for the Intel part means the analysis relies on the architectural specifications and the Ryzen 5 40's placement among its nearest rivals.

The Ryzen 5 40 sits at the 70th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15882. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 75F3 with an average score of 15859, which is 0.1% behind, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 134U with an average score of 15910, which is 0.2% ahead. The AMD EPYC 9354P scores 15826, 0.4% behind, and the AMD EPYC 9334 scores 15940, 0.4% ahead. These tight margins place the Ryzen 5 40 in a competitive band where performance differences are minimal, within a range of less than 1% across all four rivals.

The Core i5-14501TE is at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of zero due to missing data. It has no nearest rivals listed. This means the database cannot provide a comparable performance estimate for the Intel part at this time.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 40 is the only one of the two with verifiable benchmark performance. Its 70th percentile ranking and average score of 15882 place it in the upper half of all processors, and the narrow margins against its nearest rivals confirm consistent performance. The Core i5-14501TE, with no recorded scores, cannot be evaluated on the same basis.

From the recorded data, the Ryzen 5 40 is the processor with measurable results. The Intel part lacks any benchmark entries, so the database cannot confirm its performance level. A user looking for a mobile processor with documented scores would find the Ryzen 5 40 with a full set of results. The Core i5-14501TE remains an unknown quantity in the database, with only its specifications available for consideration.

The Ryzen 5 40 uses 15 watts TDP, while the Core i5-14501TE uses 45 watts. The Ryzen 5 40 has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part has a higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz compared to 4.30 GHz, and a lower base clock at 2.20 GHz compared to 2.80 GHz. These specifications suggest different design goals, but without benchmark data for the Intel part, no performance verdict can be drawn.

Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 5 40 uses the Zen 2 architecture under the Mendocino codename, built on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 100 mm². The Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². The process node difference is notable: 6 nm versus 10 nm.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The Ryzen 5 40 has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14501TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part provides substantially more L3 cache, six times the total of the AMD part.

Memory support also differs. The Ryzen 5 40 supports LPDDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s. It does not support ECC memory. The Core i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration, and it does support ECC memory. The memory bandwidth for the Intel part is not recorded in the database.

PCIe capabilities are different. The Ryzen 5 40 uses PCIe Gen 3 with 4 lanes from the CPU. The Core i5-14501TE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Intel part a significant advantage in expansion and data transfer capacity.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 5 40 includes Radeon 610M graphics, while the Core i5-14501TE includes UHD Graphics 770. The sockets are different: AMD Socket FT6 for the Ryzen 5 40 and Intel Socket 1700 for the Core i5-14501TE.

The market segments differ: the Ryzen 5 40 is a mobile processor, while the Core i5-14501TE is a desktop processor. Both are currently in active production. The Ryzen 5 40 was released on September 30, 2025, while the Core i5-14501TE was released on June 30, 2024. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 40 wins in the only category where measured data exists: benchmark performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 4841, single-core score of 1150, and PassMark multithread score of 9341 provide a complete performance profile. Its 70th percentile ranking and average score of 15882, with nearest rivals within 0.4%, confirm that it performs in a consistent band. The mobile segment designation, 15 watt TDP, and LPDDR5 memory support with 88.0 GB/s bandwidth make it suited for power-constrained mobile use cases.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins on specifications that favor desktop workloads. Its 6 cores and 12 threads provide more parallel processing capacity than the Ryzen 5 40's 4 cores and 8 threads. The 5.10 GHz boost clock is higher than 4.30 GHz. The 24 MB of shared L3 cache is six times larger. PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes offers more expansion capability than PCIe Gen 3 with 4 lanes. ECC memory support and DDR4/DDR5 compatibility give it broader memory options. The 45 watt TDP and desktop segment designation indicate a design for sustained performance rather than power efficiency.

The Ryzen 5 40 wins in cases where power efficiency and mobile operation are priorities, supported by its 15 watt TDP and LPDDR5 memory. The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins in cases where core count, cache capacity, memory flexibility, and PCIe bandwidth are the deciding factors. The database does not contain benchmark data for the Intel part, so performance comparisons beyond specifications cannot be made.
