AMD Ryzen 7 5700G vs Intel Core i5-14400T Comparison

The Intel Core i5-14400T and AMD Ryzen 7 5700G sit nearly level in the aggregate database, with average benchmark scores of 27166 and 27051 respectively, a gap of just 0.4%. Both occupy the 79th percentile among all CPUs. Yet a look beneath those totals reveals two processors with sharply different personalities: the Intel part wins on single-threaded and lightly-threaded workloads, while the AMD part dominates in a broad range of multithreaded and data-heavy tasks, taking 8 of the 15 head-to-head comparisons.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400T is the pick for single-core responsiveness. In Cinebench R23 single-core, it scores 2426 against the 5700G’s 1494, a 62.4% advantage. PassMark single-thread shows a slimmer but clear lead: 3512 versus 3283, a 7% margin. The 14400T also wins in prime number finding (73 vs 59, +23.7%) and physics simulation (1244 vs 999, +24.5%). These are workloads that lean on raw clock speed and per-core efficiency rather than sheer core count.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the workhorse for parallel throughput. Its wins are decisive in several PassMark categories: data compression (318262 vs 235636, +26%), data encryption (20325 vs 13244, +34.8%), extended instructions (21847 vs 14562, +33.3%), and integer math (91541 vs 65667, +28.3%). It also takes Cinebench R15 multicore (2107 vs 1732, +17.8%), PassMark multithread (24419 vs 20223, +17.2%), and floating-point math (51296 vs 49139, +4.2%). The pattern is consistent: the 5700G delivers more aggregate compute across many threads.

The split is not perfectly clean, however. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel chip flips the script with a 17189 score versus 12830.5, a 34% lead. That single result shows the 14400T’s hybrid design can outmuscle the 5700G when the benchmark scales well across its 16 threads. Overall, the Intel part wins 7 of the 15 head-to-head tests; the AMD part wins 8.

Architecture Differences

The two CPUs come from different design philosophies and process generations. The Intel Core i5-14400T is built on Intel’s 10 nm process (Raptor Lake-R architecture) with a die size of 215 mm². It uses a hybrid layout with 10 cores and 16 threads. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is fabbed on TSMC’s 7 nm node (Zen 3, Cezanne) with a 180 mm² die and 10,700 million transistors. AMD’s chip is a monolithic 8-core, 16-thread design.

Clock speeds tell part of the story. The 5700G has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts to 4.60 GHz, while the 14400T sits at a 1.50 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost. The Intel part’s low base clock is a direct result of its 35 W TDP, versus 65 W for the AMD chip. That power envelope helps explain why the 14400T wins single-thread tests (boosting is less power-constrained on one core) but loses many multithreaded tests (sustaining all cores at high clocks draws more power than the 35 W limit allows).

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The 14400T has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The 5700G has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip’s larger per-core L2 is notable, though the AMD part counters with higher clock speeds and a more power-efficient process node.

Platform support is another major differentiator. The 14400T uses Intel Socket 1700 and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the 5700G is on AMD Socket AM4 and is limited to DDR4. The Intel part offers ECC memory support; the AMD part does not. PCIe generation also differs: the 14400T provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while the 5700G provides Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the Intel chip has UHD Graphics 730, and the AMD chip has Radeon Vega 8. The 5700G has an unlocked multiplier; the 14400T does not.

The Verdict

The data suggests a simple choice based on workload priorities. If the primary use case involves single-threaded applications, older code that doesn’t scale, or tasks like physics simulation and prime number crunching, the Intel Core i5-14400T is the stronger option. Its 62.4% lead in Cinebench R23 single-core and 24.5% lead in PassMark physics leave little room for debate.

If the workload is heavily multithreaded or involves data manipulation—compression, encryption, integer math, random string sorting—the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the better performer. Its leads of 26% to 34.8% in those PassMark categories are substantial. The 5700G also wins the aggregate multithread PassMark score by 17.2%.

The Cinebench R23 multicore result complicates the narrative, giving the 14400T a 34% win there. That benchmark appears to favor the Intel chip’s thread scheduling and cache design. Buyers should note that the 14400T is not universally slower in multithreaded work; it is specifically weaker in the PassMark multithreaded suite but stronger in Cinebench’s multicore render.

For a system on a 35 W power budget, the 14400T is the clear choice. For a build where power is less constrained and the 65 W TDP is acceptable, the 5700G offers better all-around parallel performance and an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. The 5700G also runs on the mature AM4 platform with DDR4-only memory, while the 14400T opens the door to DDR5.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single biggest margin in the head-to-head set belongs to the Intel chip. In Cinebench R23 single-core, the 14400T scores 2426 versus 1494 for the 5700G, a 62.4% delta. The same benchmark in multicore shows the 14400T ahead by 34% (17189 vs 12830.5). Intel also wins PassMark physics (1244 vs 999, +24.5%), PassMark prime numbers (73 vs 59, +23.7%), and PassMark single-thread (3512 vs 3283, +7%).

The AMD chip answers with a series of strong wins in PassMark’s compute suite. The largest is data encryption: 20325 vs 13244, a 34.8% gap. Extended instructions follow at 33.3% (21847 vs 14562). Integer math shows a 28.3% lead (91541 vs 65667), and data compression a 26% lead (318262 vs 235636). Random string sorting goes to AMD by 24.6% (33384 vs 25181). PassMark multithread favors AMD by 17.2% (24419 vs 20223), and Cinebench R15 multicore favors AMD by 17.8% (2107 vs 1732). Floating-point math is close, with AMD ahead by 4.2% (51296 vs 49139). The only single-core test AMD wins is Cinebench R15 single-core, but by a razor-thin margin: 242.5 vs 244, a 0.6% loss for AMD.

These results show a clear pattern: AMD’s wins are concentrated in PassMark’s synthetic integer and encryption workloads, while Intel’s wins are in Cinebench and physics. The average benchmark scores are nearly identical (27166 vs 27051), but the distribution of those scores is very different.
