AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-14490F is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores, so the head-to-head data is one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no entries in the benchmark database, which means the Intel part stands alone across all measured workloads. The i5-14490F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 and a single-core score of 3247. In Cinebench R20, it records 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 2318 multi-core and 327 single-core.

The PassMark suite further details the Intel chip's capabilities. Multi-thread performance sits at 28662, while single-thread performance is 3873. Integer math scores 87844, floating-point math reaches 66558, and extended instructions hit 21731. Data compression records 340026, data encryption reaches 18225, prime number finding scores 122, and random string sorting finishes at 35608. Physics processing scores 2093.

Because the AMD part has no benchmark entries, the database cannot compute a delta percentage or a wins count for either side. The i5-14490F holds an average benchmark score of 38149, placing it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs tracked. The Ryzen 5 5605GE sits at the 50th percentile, though that figure derives from its specification profile rather than measured workloads. The i5-14490F's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T at 38194 (a 0.1% difference), the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38103 (0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38221 (0.2% higher), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38261 (0.3% higher). These margins are tight, placing the i5-14490F within a narrow band of comparable desktop and mobile processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. Die size also differs: the AMD part measures 180 mm², while the Intel part measures 215 mm². The AMD chip contains 10,700 million transistors, while the Intel chip has no recorded transistor count.

Core and cache layouts diverge significantly. The Ryzen 5 5605GE has 6 cores and 12 threads, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14490F has 10 cores and 16 threads, with 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's larger core count and cache hierarchy reflect its hybrid design approach, though the database does not break out performance-core versus efficiency-core counts.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor is limited to DDR4, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the AMD part lists a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Neither processor supports ECC memory. The AMD part has Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics, whereas the Intel part has no integrated graphics solution. The Intel chip's lack of iGPU means a discrete graphics card is mandatory for display output, while the AMD chip can drive a display from its integrated Vega 7 unit.

Specification Differences

The core count favors Intel: 10 cores versus 6 cores. Thread counts follow the same pattern, with 16 threads on the Intel part and 12 threads on the AMD part. Clock speeds differ in both directions. The AMD base clock is 3.40 GHz, higher than Intel's 2.50 GHz. But the Intel boost clock reaches 5.00 GHz, exceeding AMD's 4.40 GHz. Thermal design power shows a stark contrast: the AMD chip draws 35 W, while the Intel chip draws 65 W.

Sockets are incompatible. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel Core i5-14490F uses Intel Socket 1700. Process node differences show TSMC's 7 nm for AMD versus Intel's 10 nm for its own chip. The AMD part has a larger transistor count at 10,700 million, though the Intel die is physically larger at 215 mm² versus 180 mm².

Cache specifications differ across all levels. AMD provides 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. Intel provides 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. Memory support diverges with AMD limited to DDR4 and Intel accepting both DDR4 and DDR5. PCIe generation also differs, with AMD at Gen 3 and Intel at Gen 5, both with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics are present only on the AMD part, which includes Radeon Vega 7. The Intel part lists N/A. The multiplier is unlocked on the AMD chip but locked on the Intel chip. Release dates differ by roughly a year and a half: the AMD part launched on 2025-02-23, while the Intel part launched on 2023-12-31. The AMD part number is 100-000001804, while the Intel part number is SRN35.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins every measured benchmark category in this comparison, simply because it is the only processor with recorded scores. Its multi-core strength is evident in Cinebench R23 at 23000, Cinebench R20 at 9660, and Cinebench R15 at 2318. These figures, combined with the PassMark multi-thread score of 28662, indicate a processor built for heavily threaded workloads such as video rendering, code compilation, and scientific computation. The 10-core, 16-thread configuration and 24 MB shared L3 cache support this profile.

Single-thread performance is equally robust, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 3247 and PassMark single-thread at 3873. The 5.00 GHz boost clock drives these results, making the i5-14490F suitable for lightly threaded tasks like gaming, spreadsheet work, and general desktop responsiveness. The PassMark integer math score of 87844 and floating-point math score of 66558 further confirm strong arithmetic throughput across both integer and FPU-bound workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE wins in efficiency and platform flexibility. Its 35 W TDP is roughly half of the Intel part's 65 W, which makes it suitable for compact builds and low-power systems. The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics provide a complete display solution without a discrete GPU. The unlocked multiplier offers overclocking headroom, which the locked Intel chip cannot match. The lower base clock of 3.40 GHz is actually higher than Intel's 2.50 GHz, though the Intel boost clock of 5.00 GHz surpasses the AMD boost of 4.40 GHz.

For users with DDR4 memory already in hand, both processors work, but the AMD part is restricted to DDR4, while the Intel part adds DDR5 support. The Intel chip's PCIe Gen 5 interface provides more bandwidth for modern storage and graphics, though the AMD chip's PCIe Gen 3 is older and slower. The AMD chip's 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is recorded, while the Intel chip lacks a listed figure, but the Intel chip's support for DDR5 suggests higher potential bandwidth in practice.

In terms of market positioning, the i5-14490F sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 50th percentile. The Intel chip's nearest rivals cluster within 0.3% of its average score, indicating that the i5-14490F is a mid-to-high-tier desktop processor. The AMD chip has no nearest rivals in the database, and its 50th percentile rank reflects a more modest performance tier. The i5-14490F is the clear choice for raw compute performance, while the 5605GE offers a low-power, integrated-graphics alternative with overclocking flexibility.
