AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE and Intel Core i5-14401TE are both six-core, twelve-thread desktop processors aimed at power-conscious systems, but the database shows they approach the same target from opposite directions. The AMD part uses a 7 nm TSMC process with a 35 W TDP, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm Intel process with a 45 W TDP. Both processors hold the same 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, meaning their aggregate performance profiles are statistically indistinguishable. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5605GE delivers its performance at a lower thermal envelope, while the Core i5-14401TE offers higher boost clocks and newer platform features.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two processors that are functionally equivalent in core count, thread count, and overall percentile ranking, yet they serve different platform preferences. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE is the choice for systems built on AMD Socket AM4 with a 35 W TDP, an unlocked multiplier, and Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics. The Intel Core i5-14401TE is the alternative for Intel Socket 1700 builds with a 45 W TDP, ECC memory support, and UHD Graphics 730.

Benchmark results indicate no measurable performance gap between the two, as both occupy the 50th percentile and have identical core and thread configurations. The Ryzen 5 5605GE uses the older AM4 platform but compensates with a lower power draw and overclocking capability. The Core i5-14401TE uses the newer LGA 1700 socket, supports DDR5 memory, and provides ECC functionality, which the AMD part lacks. The data suggests that platform requirements, not raw performance, should determine the selection. If the system requires ECC memory or DDR5, the Intel part is the only option. If power efficiency or overclocking is the priority, the AMD part has the advantage.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE is built on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, using a 7 nm process from TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, on a 10 nm process from Intel. The transistor count for the AMD part is recorded as 10,700 million, while the Intel part has no transistor count listed in the database. The die sizes differ: the AMD chip measures 180 mm², and the Intel chip measures 215 mm².

Cache hierarchies are significantly different. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives the Intel processor a larger total cache footprint, which can benefit workloads with high cache reuse. The AMD processor relies on a smaller but still substantial cache structure.

The integrated graphics differ as well. AMD includes Radeon Vega 7, while Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The database does not record performance figures for either iGPU, so the comparison is limited to naming and presence. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, allowing manual overclocking, while the Intel part has a locked multiplier, preventing such adjustments. The Intel part supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and the winsA and winsB fields are both zero. Consequently, there are no recorded performance deltas to compare. The only performance indicator available is the percentileVsAllCpus field, which lists both at 50. This means the database places both processors at the median of all CPUs it tracks, with no differentiation between them.

The lack of benchmark data prevents any numerical comparison of multi-core or single-core performance. The base clocks differ: the AMD part runs at 3.40 GHz, while the Intel part runs at 2.00 GHz. The boost clocks differ in the opposite direction: the AMD part boosts to 4.40 GHz, and the Intel part boosts to 4.50 GHz. These clock figures suggest the Intel part has a higher peak frequency by 0.10 GHz, but without benchmark scores, the practical impact remains unmeasured.

Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the AMD part at 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory exclusively, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The memory bus is dual-channel for both processors.
