AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 250 vs Intel Core i5-14501TE

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 7 250 and the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has an empty benchmark record, meaning no measured scores exist for it in the database. The AMD Ryzen 7 250, by contrast, has a full set of 15 recorded benchmark results. This absence of Intel data forces any comparison to rely solely on the Ryzen 7 250's absolute scores and its percentile ranking, rather than a direct per-test delta.

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 posts a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 14,676 points, paired with a single-core R23 result of 1,715 points. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score reaches 2,302, while single-core lands at 269. These figures place the chip at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests for the Ryzen 7 250 is 38,221, which is statistically indistinguishable from its nearest rivals. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T averages 38,194, a delta of 0.1% relative to the AMD chip. The Intel Core i5-13600HX averages 38,261, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 7 250. The Intel Core i5-14490F sits at 38,149, a 0.2% advantage for the AMD part. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285H posts 38,312, which is 0.2% behind the Ryzen 7 250. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Ryzen 7 250 performs at parity with a cluster of strong Intel and Intel-architecture parts, despite having no direct head-to-head data against the i5-14501TE.

PassMark results for the Ryzen 7 250 show specific strengths. Integer math scores 91,565, floating point math scores 53,285, and extended instructions score 21,613. Data compression reaches 300,708, while data encryption posts 17,661. Random string sorting completes at 35,861, find prime numbers returns 73, and multithread scoring delivers 25,089. The single-thread PassMark score is 3,678, and physics processing records 1,147. These numbers define a capable mobile processor, but without any Intel i5-14501TE scores, the database cannot quantify a win or loss for either part in any specific test.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, part of the Ryzen 7 generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process by TSMC, with a die size of 178 mm² and 25,000 million transistors. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen generation. It is fabricated on a 10 nm process by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm² and no transistor count recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ markedly. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip provides 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 has more L1 and L2 per core and a larger L3 pool, while the AMD part relies on a denser process node to compensate.

Memory support separates the two clearly. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 supports only DDR5, with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14501TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part, but not on the AMD part.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation and lane count. The AMD processor uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses the Radeon 780M, while the Intel part uses the UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 targets the mobile segment with an AMD Socket FP8. The Intel Core i5-14501TE targets the desktop segment with an Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part was released on 2025-01-05, while the Intel part was released on 2024-06-30. Both are active in production.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split by workload and platform. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 is a mobile processor with a complete benchmark record, an 86th percentile ranking, and an average score of 38,221. The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a desktop processor with no benchmark scores in the database, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of zero. On raw recorded performance, the AMD part is the only one with measurable results.

For users selecting a mobile processor, the Ryzen 7 250 delivers a high single-thread score of 3,678 in PassMark and a strong multi-core R23 result of 14,676. Its 28 TDP rating suits thin-and-light designs. For users building a desktop system, the i5-14501TE offers a larger L3 cache at 24 MB, ECC memory support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Its 45 TDP rating indicates higher power headroom.

Performance parity with the Ryzen 7 250's nearest rivals, all within 0.2% in average score, suggests the AMD chip competes well against a broad set of Intel parts. The i5-14501TE has no such comparison data. The verdict from the database is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 7 250 is the only one of the two with recorded performance, and it performs at a high percentile. The Intel part remains unmeasured, so any performance claim for it would lack database support.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks differ: 3.30 GHz for the AMD part versus 2.20 GHz for the Intel part. Boost clocks match at 5.10 GHz for both.

TDP ratings differ by 17, with the AMD part at 28 and the Intel part at 45. Process nodes differ by process generation: 4 nm for AMD and 10 nm for Intel. Die size differs, with the AMD part at 178 mm² and the Intel part at 215 mm². Transistor count is 25,000 million for AMD and not recorded for Intel.

Cache layouts differ per core and in shared pools. L1 per core is 64 KB for AMD and 80 KB for Intel. L2 per core is 1 MB for AMD and 1.25 MB for Intel. L3 shared is 16 MB for AMD and 24 MB for Intel.

Memory support, ECC, PCIe, integrated graphics, socket, market segment, release date, and part number all differ. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, has no ECC, uses Gen 4 PCIe with 20 lanes, and integrates Radeon 780M graphics. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, has ECC, uses Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes, and integrates UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part uses Socket FP8, the Intel part uses Socket 1700. The AMD part is mobile, the Intel part is desktop. Release dates are 2025-01-05 for AMD and 2024-06-30 for Intel.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 250 wins in every category where recorded data exists. It has a higher base clock, a lower TDP, a smaller process node, and a complete benchmark suite. Its 86th percentile ranking and 38,221 average score show it performs well above the median CPU. In multi-core workloads, its R23 score of 14,676 indicates strong parallel processing. In single-thread workloads, its R15 score of 269 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,678 show solid per-core performance.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins in specification areas that the database records but does not measure. It offers more L3 cache at 24 MB, ECC memory support, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving platform flexibility. Its larger die and higher TDP suggest a desktop-oriented design with more power available, though no benchmark data confirms a performance benefit.

For workloads involving memory integrity or server-like reliability, the Intel part's ECC support gives it a structural advantage. For workloads involving raw throughput, the AMD part's recorded scores indicate it handles high-volume integer math, floating point math, and data compression effectively. The AMD part also carries a higher single-thread PassMark score and a multithread score of 25,089, both unopposed by Intel data. The database cannot assign a benchmark win to the Intel part because it has no scores, but its specification advantages in cache, ECC, and PCIe generation are clear.
