AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G and Intel Core i5-14501TE are both six-core, twelve-thread desktop processors, but they diverge sharply in architecture, platform, and measured performance. The database contains extensive benchmark results for the AMD part, while the Intel part currently has no recorded benchmark scores, which shapes the analysis significantly.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its average benchmark score is 28,032, placing it in the 80th percentile of all CPUs in the database. This means it outperforms roughly 80% of tested processors. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries, so its average score is recorded as zero and its percentile is 50, which is a placeholder rather than a measured result. Consequently, the AMD part wins every benchmark category by default in the head-to-head comparison, though the official wins counter shows zero for both parts because no direct head-to-head tests exist.

Looking at the AMD processor's specific strengths, the data shows a clear multi-core advantage over single-core. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 17,249 while the single-core score is 2,435, a ratio of roughly 7:1. The R20 results echo this: 7,244 multi-core versus 1,022 single-core. In PassMark tests, the integer math score is 67,561 and floating point math is 38,649, which are both strong outright numbers. The data compression score is 255,608, while encryption is 15,253 and extended instructions score 17,944. The single-thread PassMark score is 3,241.

The Intel part's absence from the benchmark database means there is no measured data to indicate where it might win. The database only lists its specifications. Based purely on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is the only part with demonstrable performance, and its nearest rivals provide context: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE scores 28,054 (0.1% higher), the Intel Core i5-14500T scores 28,065 (0.1% higher), the Intel Core i9-12900H scores 28,003 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 scores 28,128 (0.3% higher). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the 5655G is tightly clustered with these mid-range parts.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It has 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process by Intel itself, with a 215 mm² die size and no transistor count recorded.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel design provides more L2 per core (2.4x) and 50% more L3 total, which can benefit workloads with larger working sets, though no benchmark data exists to confirm this.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The AMD processor has a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, while the Intel part has a much lower base clock of 2.20 GHz but a much higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz. This suggests the Intel part is designed for bursty workloads where short boosts to high frequencies matter, while the AMD part maintains a higher sustained base frequency. The power envelopes reflect this: AMD lists a 65 W TDP while Intel lists 45 W, indicating the Intel part targets lower sustained power consumption.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD part supports only DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus, but no bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory, which is notable for workstation and reliability-focused builds. PCIe generations differ: the AMD part uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, giving the Intel platform a four-generation advantage in interconnect bandwidth.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part includes Radeon Vega 7 graphics, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. No benchmark scores exist for either iGPU, so any comparison would be speculative. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4 while Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD part launched on 2024-05-06, while the Intel part launched later on 2024-06-30. Both are listed as Active in production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

Based strictly on recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is the only processor with measurable performance. Its 80th percentile ranking and average score of 28,032 place it in the upper tier of desktop CPUs. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm any level of performance for it. Any claim about the Intel part's speed would require external data, which is not present.

For users who need a processor with verified multi-threaded throughput, the AMD part's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,249 and PassMark multi-thread score of 19,129 are concrete figures. The single-core PassMark score of 3,241 and R23 single-core score of 2,435 show it handles lightly threaded tasks competently as well. The AMD part also brings a 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors, which typically indicates good power efficiency per clock, though no direct efficiency comparison is possible without Intel benchmark data.

The Intel part's specifications suggest a different design philosophy: a 45 W TDP with a 5.10 GHz boost clock and PCIe Gen 5 support. Those are attractive specifications on paper, but the database has no performance evidence to back them up. Users who require PCIe Gen 5 bandwidth or DDR5 memory support would need to consider the Intel part based on its features alone. Users who prioritize verified benchmark results should favor the AMD part.

The nearest rivals for the AMD part all score within 0.3% of it, which shows the 5655G is a well-balanced performer in its class. The Intel Core i5-14500T, which is a close cousin of the 14501TE in name, scores 28,065, just 0.1% above the AMD part. That similarity hints the 14501TE might perform in a similar range, but without its own benchmark entries, this remains inference, not data.
