AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for these two desktop processors points to a sharply divided set of strengths. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G is the only one of the pair with integrated graphics, which gives it an inherent advantage in systems that will not use a discrete GPU. Its 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 design with a 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock is positioned for general desktop work. The Intel Core i5-14490F, by contrast, has no integrated graphics, so it requires a separate graphics card for any display output. That processor uses 10 cores and 16 threads with a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 5.00 GHz boost clock.

The Intel part is the only one with recorded benchmark scores in the database. Across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, the i5-14490F delivers strong multi-core results: 2318 in R15 multi-core, 9660 in R20 multi-core, and 23000 in R23 multi-core. Its single-core scores are 327, 1363, and 3247 in the same three Cinebench versions. The AMD part has no benchmark entries in the database, so the comparison here is limited to architecture and specification differences. The Intel chip also holds the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD chip sits at the 50th percentile, though that percentile is based on aggregate data that may not reflect the same benchmark set.

For use-case splits, the data shows the Intel i5-14490F wins in any task where the benchmark scores apply: multi-threaded rendering, single-thread responsiveness, PassMark integer and floating point math, encryption, compression, and physics. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G wins in the narrow case of a system that needs integrated graphics, since the Intel chip has none. That is a functional difference, not a performance one, and it is the only recorded area where the AMD part has a clear advantage.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design eras and foundries. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 microarchitecture on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 10,700 million transistors into a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses Raptor Lake (Raptor Lake-R codename), built on Intel's 10 nm process with a 215 mm² die size and no recorded transistor count.

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. That gives Intel a larger total cache pool, particularly in L3, which can help in workloads that repeatedly access a working set larger than 16 MB.

Memory support is another split. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G supports only DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14490F supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also in dual-channel mode, though the database does not record a bandwidth figure for it. That means the Intel platform can use newer, faster memory, though the actual gain depends on the memory modules installed.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. That is a major difference for storage and GPU bandwidth, as PCIe Gen 5 doubles the per-lane data rate of Gen 3.

The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked. The AMD chip also includes Radeon Graphics with 512 SPs, while the Intel chip has no integrated graphics at all. Neither processor supports ECC memory. The AMD part was released in February 2025, while the Intel part was released in December 2023. The AMD part is part number 100-000001800, the Intel part is part number SRN35.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. All recorded benchmark scores belong to the Intel Core i5-14490F. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no benchmark entries in the database. Because of that, the only quantitative comparison available is how the Intel part performs on its own and where it sits relative to other CPUs in the database.

The Intel i5-14490F reaches 23000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3247 in single-core. In PassMark, it scores 87844 in integer math, 66558 in floating point math, 340026 in data compression, 18225 in data encryption, and 21731 in extended instructions. Its PassMark single-thread score is 3873, and its multithread score is 28662. Physics scores 2093, and random string sorting scores 35608. Prime number finding is the weakest recorded result at 122.

The nearest rivals in the database give context for the Intel part. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T scores 38194 on average, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-14490F. The Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 38103, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 scores 38221, 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i5-13600HX scores 38261, 0.3% higher. The i5-14490F's average benchmark score is 38149, putting it in a tight cluster where the largest recorded gap among these four rivals is just 0.3%. This means the i5-14490F is essentially at parity with its closest competitors in the database, neither clearly ahead nor behind.

The 86th percentile ranking for the Intel part shows it sits above most CPUs in the database. The AMD part's 50th percentile, by contrast, places it at the median, though again the lack of benchmark data for that chip makes the percentile hard to interpret directly.

FAQ

Q: Does the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G have integrated graphics?

A: Yes, it includes Radeon Graphics with 512 SPs. The Intel Core i5-14490F has no integrated graphics (listed as N/A), meaning it requires a discrete graphics card for display output.

The two processors differ in nearly every major architectural specification. The AMD part uses a smaller 7 nm process and a smaller die, while the Intel part uses a larger 10 nm process and a larger die. The Intel part has more cores, more cache, a higher boost clock, newer PCIe, and broader memory support. The AMD part has integrated graphics, an unlocked multiplier, a higher base clock, and a smaller physical footprint. The recorded benchmark data favors the Intel part, but the AMD part's lack of benchmark entries in the database means the comparison is incomplete.
