Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS and the Intel Core i5-14501TE represent fundamentally different design approaches from their respective manufacturers. The AMD part is a mobile-focused processor built on the Zen 4 architecture with the codename Hawk Point. It uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC, with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel part is a desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, using Intel's 10 nm process node and a 215 mm² die size.

The cache hierarchies differ significantly. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 1 MB of L2 cache per core, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, with a larger 24 MB of shared L3 cache. This gives Intel a substantial advantage in total cache capacity.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS supports only DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14501TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ in generation and lane count. The AMD processor offers PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the Intel processor offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 760M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor is classified as a mobile market segment part, while the Intel processor is a desktop market segment part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark data between the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS and the Intel Core i5-14501TE is not available in the database. The recorded data for the Intel part is empty, with no benchmark scores listed. The AMD part, however, has a comprehensive set of benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark tests.

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS scores 18,104 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,555 in Cinebench R23 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 7,603 multi-core and 1,073 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1,824 multi-core and 257 single-core. Passmark results include 21,465 in multi-thread, 3,561 in single-thread, 69,839 in integer math, 43,019 in floating point math, and 14,962 in data encryption.

The absence of benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE means that a quantitative comparison of their performance is not possible from the recorded data. The AMD processor holds an 80th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28,478. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon E-2436 with an average score of 28,530 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS with an average score of 28,549 and a delta of -0.2%, the Intel Core 5 220H with an average score of 28,574 and a delta of -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U with an average score of 28,379 and a delta of 0.3%.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, but its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and it has no nearest rivals listed. This indicates that the database currently lacks sufficient measurement data for the Intel part.

The Verdict

The recorded data clearly distinguishes the two processors in terms of available performance evidence. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes a direct performance verdict impossible for the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS is a mobile processor with a 28 W TDP, built on a 4 nm process, and it places in the 80th percentile of all CPUs based on its average benchmark score of 28,478. The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a desktop processor with a 45 W TDP, built on a 10 nm process, and it places in the 50th percentile of all CPUs, though this ranking is based on no recorded average benchmark score.

Users selecting between these two parts should rely on the architectural and specification differences. The AMD part offers a higher base clock of 3.50 GHz versus 2.20 GHz for the Intel part, while the Intel part offers a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. The Intel part has a larger L3 cache and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part offers PCIe Gen 4 with more lanes and has a smaller process node.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS demonstrates a clear advantage in areas where recorded data exists. Its benchmark scores across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, along with Passmark tests, establish it as a capable multi-threaded and single-threaded performer. It holds an 80th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with its nearest rivals being close in average score. The 28 W TDP and 4 nm process node indicate a power-efficient design suitable for mobile platforms. The higher base clock of 3.50 GHz suggests strong sustained performance at lower power levels.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores, so its performance profile cannot be established from the database. However, its specification sheet points to potential advantages in certain areas. The higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz provides a theoretical ceiling for single-threaded workloads. The larger L3 cache of 24 MB and the support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory offer flexibility in system design. The PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes provides a newer interface standard. The 45 W TDP reflects a desktop-oriented design with more power available for sustained loads.

The AMD part wins on process efficiency, base clock, and recorded performance evidence. The Intel part wins on boost clock, cache capacity, memory compatibility, and PCIe generation. Without benchmark data for the Intel part, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640HS is the only processor in this comparison with a verified performance record in the database.
