AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT and Intel Core i5-14401TE occupy different positions in the desktop processor database. The Ryzen 5 5500GT is a Zen 3 based 6-core, 12-thread part with a 3.60 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock, while the Core i5-14401TE is a Raptor Lake Refresh 6-core, 12-thread processor with a 2.00 GHz base clock and 4.50 GHz boost clock. The Intel part carries a 45 W TDP against 65 W for the AMD chip, and it supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the AMD processor supports DDR4 only. The database contains a full benchmark suite for the AMD part, but the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores, so the comparison relies on architectural and specification data rather than direct measured performance.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT wins in any scenario where measured performance is required, because the database holds 17 benchmark scores for this processor. These include Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results, both multi-core and single-core, plus PassMark workloads covering integer math, floating point math, data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, random string sorting, physics, multithreaded tasks, and single-threaded tasks. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has zero benchmark entries, so it cannot claim a measured win in any test. The AMD part also wins on clock behavior for sustained multi-core workloads, as its base clock of 3.60 GHz is 80% higher than the Intel base clock of 2.00 GHz, which suggests better throughput when all cores are active without boosting.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins on specifications that favor efficiency and platform flexibility. Its 45 W TDP is lower than the AMD 65 W TDP, indicating lower thermal design power for compact systems. The Intel processor supports DDR5 memory in addition to DDR4, while the AMD part only supports DDR4. The Intel chip also has ECC memory support, which the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT lacks. In terms of PCIe connectivity, the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD part provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes, so the Intel platform allows newer high-speed devices. The Intel processor has a higher boost clock at 4.50 GHz versus 4.40 GHz for AMD, giving it an edge in short single-thread bursts if the workload scales with peak frequency.

For users who need a ready-to-run processor with known performance, the AMD part wins. For users who prioritize lower power draw, ECC memory, DDR5 support, or PCIe Gen 5, the Intel part wins on those specifications alone.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT uses Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. The transistor count is 10,700 million, and the die size measures 180 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². The Intel part has no transistor count listed in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Per-core L2 cache is 2.4 times larger on the Intel part, and total L3 cache is 25% larger. The AMD L3 cache is not listed as shared or per-core, but the total is 16 MB.

Memory architecture diverges. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. ECC memory is supported only on the Intel processor. PCIe generation differs: AMD offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT includes Radeon Vega 7 graphics, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE includes UHD Graphics 730. Neither part has unlocked multiplier on the Intel side, but the AMD part has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD processor has a launch MSRP of $125, while the Intel part has no launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark results exist in the database for these two processors. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both parts are zero. Therefore, the comparison must rely on the AMD processor's absolute benchmark scores and the Intel processor's lack of them.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT scores 15,848 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,237 points in Cinebench R23 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 6,656 multi-core and 939 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1,597 multi-core and 225 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 79th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 26,748.

PassMark results for the AMD part include 64,218 in integer math, 36,694 in floating point math, 24,390 in data compression, 14,754 in data encryption, 17,027 in extended instructions, 54 in find prime numbers, 24,583 in random string sorting, 840 in physics, 19,000 in multithread, and 3,066 in single-thread. The single-thread score appears twice in the database with identical values.

The nearest rivals to the AMD part, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD EPYC 9554 with an average score of 26,743 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core i7-12700H with 26,717 and a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U with 26,849 and a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i9-11900K with 26,639 and a delta of 0.4%. These deltas indicate that the Ryzen 5 5500GT performs within a narrow band around these processors, with the Ryzen 5 7545U sitting 0.4% above it and the Core i9-11900K sitting 0.4% below it.

Because the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores, its percentile rank is 50, which is the default median position, and its average benchmark score is 0. This does not imply real-world performance; it simply reflects missing data. The AMD processor holds a 79th percentile rank, which places it above the median CPU in the database.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT is the only processor of the two with measurable performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,848 and single-core score of 2,237, along with its 79th percentile rank and average benchmark score of 26,748, provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark data, so it cannot be positioned relative to the AMD part in any workload.

The AMD processor also offers a higher base clock of 3.60 GHz, which benefits sustained multi-threaded tasks, and it has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. Its launch MSRP is $125, which is a recorded fact, but no comparison to the Intel part is possible because the Intel part has no launch MSRP.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins on platform features. Its 45 W TDP is lower, which suits power-constrained builds. It supports DDR5 memory, ECC memory, and PCIe Gen 5, all of which are absent from the AMD part. Its larger L2 cache per core and larger L3 cache, plus a 0.10 GHz higher boost clock, suggest potential in single-threaded burst workloads, but without benchmark scores, that potential remains unverified.

Users who need a processor with documented performance should choose the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT. Users who need ECC memory, DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 5, or lower TDP should choose the Intel Core i5-14401TE, accepting that its performance is unmeasured in the database.
