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

AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE and Intel Core i5-14501TE are two 6-core, 12-thread desktop processors aimed at different platform philosophies. One uses AMD's mature AM4 socket with Zen 3 architecture, while the other uses Intel's LGA1700 platform with Raptor Lake architecture. The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD part, but the Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores, which shapes the comparison significantly. This analysis relies strictly on the recorded specifications and the measured performance data available for the AMD processor.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark data, so it wins every measured performance category by default. Its benchmark results show strong multi-threaded and single-threaded capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15,504 points in multi-core and 2,188 points in single-core. The PassMark suite shows a multi-thread score of 18,057 and a single-thread score of 3,240. The data also shows a 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs, which places it ahead of roughly three-quarters of the processors in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning no wins can be attributed to it from measured performance. However, its specification sheet indicates where it could theoretically compete. It has a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz compared to the AMD's 4.40 GHz, which suggests potential single-thread advantages. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part only supports DDR4. Its PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 lanes is a generation ahead of the AMD's PCIe Gen 3, which could matter for storage and GPU bandwidth in a system build.

The AMD part wins on process technology, using a 7 nm node from TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm node from Intel's own foundry. The AMD chip also has a lower power draw at 65 W TDP, which is higher than the Intel's 45 W TDP, but the AMD part is not necessarily more efficient given the lack of Intel performance data. The AMD part has a smaller die size at 180 mm² compared to the Intel's 215 mm², and it uses fewer transistors at 10,700 million versus the Intel's unspecified count.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE in terms of measured performance, as it has a full suite of benchmark scores while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has none. The AMD processor's average benchmark score is 25,880, and it sits at the 78th percentile against all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11700K with a delta of 0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 5 230 with a delta of 0.4%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 with a delta of -0.4%. This indicates the AMD part performs near the level of a previous-generation Intel i7 and a newer AMD Ryzen 5.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE should be considered only if the platform features matter more than recorded performance. It offers a higher boost clock, newer PCIe generation, and dual memory support. But without benchmark scores, the database cannot verify its actual speed. The AMD part is the verified performer, and the recorded data confirms it is a capable 6-core processor that competes with higher-tier chips from the same era.

For a builder who needs a known quantity, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the choice. For a builder who prioritizes platform longevity with DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5, the Intel part has the specification advantage, but the performance gap is unmeasured and unproven.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons recorded between these two processors. The database shows zero wins for each side in a direct matchup. However, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has a complete benchmark profile that can be interpreted on its own.

In Cinebench R15, the AMD part scores 1,562 multi-core and 220 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 6,511 multi-core and 918 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the scores are 15,504 multi-core and 2,188 single-core. The progression from R15 to R23 shows consistent scaling across newer rendering workloads.

The PassMark suite provides additional detail. The AMD part scores 228,037 in data compression, 14,509 in data encryption, and 15,714 in extended instructions. It scores 49 in finding prime numbers, 38,204 in floating point math, and 67,582 in integer math. The multi-thread score is 18,057, and the physics score is 648. Random string sorting yields 23,769 points, and single-thread performance is 3,240.

These numbers show the AMD part is strong in integer and floating point operations, with encryption and compression being clear strengths. The prime number finding score is low at 49, which is typical for a 6-core processor without specialized hardware. The physics score of 648 is modest, indicating average performance in simulated physics workloads.

Since the Intel part has no recorded scores, there is no basis for a direct comparison. The database cannot confirm whether the Intel's higher boost clock translates into faster single-thread results or whether its 24 MB of L3 cache provides a meaningful advantage over the AMD's 16 MB.
