AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and Intel Core i5-14501TE present a stark contrast in the recorded database. The AMD part has a full set of benchmark scores, while the Intel part has no recorded benchmark results at all. This makes a direct comparison of individual test scores impossible. The data shows the Ryzen 5 7500X3D holds an average benchmark score of 44,573, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. The Core i5-14501TE, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and sits in the 50th percentile.

Without head-to-head test data for the Intel chip, the analysis relies on the AMD processor's positioning against its nearest rivals. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, which scores 44,466. It is 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i9-13950HX at 44,342. The AMD part also leads the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 by 0.6%, with that chip scoring 44,309. The only rival ahead of it in the nearest group is the Intel Core i5-14600, which scores 44,889 and leads by 0.7%.

The individual benchmark results for the Ryzen 5 7500X3D show its strongest recorded output in data compression, with a PassMark score of 271,649. Integer math follows at 70,774, and floating point math reaches 43,594. Random string sorting completes at 32,999, and extended instructions score 20,455. Data encryption posts 15,797, and the multithread score is 25,047. Single-thread performance records 3,494, and physics reaches 2,779. The find prime numbers test returns 221. These figures establish the AMD chip as a balanced performer across mixed workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D wins in every measurable category because it is the only chip in this comparison with recorded scores. The data shows a wide gap in percentiles: 89 versus 50. That 39-point percentile difference indicates the AMD processor performs far above the median of all CPUs tracked in the database, while the Intel chip sits exactly at the median.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D demonstrates particular strength in compression workloads. Its data compression score of 271,649 dwarfs its other results, suggesting a strong showing in archiving or data-transfer scenarios. Integer math at 70,774 and floating point math at 43,594 indicate solid general computing capability. The single-thread score of 3,494 shows competent per-core performance, which supports responsiveness in lightly threaded applications.

The Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark data. Nothing in the database indicates where it would win. The Intel chip's 50th percentile placement, despite an average score of zero, reflects its position relative to all CPUs, but without individual test scores there is no basis for a use-case breakdown.

Architecture Differences

The architecture differences between these two processors are substantial. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D uses the Raphael codename and is based on Zen 4 architecture. The Core i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and is based on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

The process technology separates the two clearly. The AMD chip uses a 5 nm process fabricated by TSMC. The Intel chip uses a 10 nm process fabricated by Intel's own foundry. This process difference contributes to the significant die size gap: 71 mm² for the AMD chip versus 215 mm² for the Intel chip. The transistor count for the AMD chip is 11,270 million, while no transistor count is recorded for the Intel chip.

The cache hierarchy reflects different design philosophies. The AMD chip uses a larger shared L3 cache of 96 MB, which is characteristic of its 3D V-Cache design approach. The Intel chip uses a smaller 24 MB shared L3 cache. Per-core L1 and L2 caches are larger on the Intel chip: 80 KB L1 and 1.25 MB L2 per core, versus 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core on the AMD chip. The AMD chip compensates with the much larger L3 pool.

Both chips are locked processors, as neither has an unlocked multiplier. Both are desktop market segments and both are currently in active production status.

The memory controller designs differ. The AMD chip supports DDR5 exclusively with a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, but no memory bandwidth is recorded for it. ECC memory support is present on both.

The integrated GPU solutions differ. The AMD chip uses Radeon Graphics. The Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. Both provide integrated display output, but the architectures behind them are entirely different.

The PCIe implementations differ in lane count. The AMD chip offers 24 Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip offers 16 Gen 5 lanes from the CPU. This affects expansion capability for GPUs and NVMe storage.

The generation labels reflect different naming conventions. The AMD chip is listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen 4, Raphael). The Intel chip is listed as Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The Intel chip is part of the Core 14th Gen series, released earlier in mid-2024. The AMD chip arrived later, in late 2025.

The power envelopes differ. The AMD chip has a 65-watt TDP. The Intel chip has a 45-watt TDP. The Intel chip draws less nominal power, while the AMD chip allocates more headroom for its higher base clock.

The benchmark data shows the AMD chip performing well above the median, while the Intel chip sits at the median with no recorded scores. The architecture choices, from process node to cache layout to memory support, explain why the Ryzen 5 7500X3D holds a 39-percentile advantage in the database.
