AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 5705G and Intel Core i7-14701E are both 8-core, 16-thread desktop processors with a 65 W TDP, but they deliver their performance from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Ryzen 7 5705G is a Zen 3 part built on TSMC’s 7 nm process, while the Core i7-14701E is a Raptor Lake Refresh chip on Intel’s 10 nm node. The database records a complete benchmark suite only for the Intel part, giving the Core i7-14701E an average benchmark score of 33206 and a percentile ranking of 83 across all CPUs. The Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, leaving its performance to be assessed through architectural specifications rather than direct measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701E is the clear winner in every measured workload category, based on the recorded data. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22195 and single-core score of 3133 place it well ahead of what the Zen 3 architecture in the Ryzen 7 5705G would be expected to deliver, though the Ryzen part has no direct scores for comparison. The Intel chip achieves a percentile ranking of 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H with an average score of 33201, the AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS at 33244, the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX at 33091, and the Intel Core i7-13650HX at 33089, with delta percentages ranging from -0.1 to 0.4. This places the Core i7-14701E in a competitive tier where it is essentially tied with several strong mobile and desktop processors.

The Ryzen 7 5705G wins in the area of platform flexibility and integrated graphics capability. It features Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, which is a more substantial integrated GPU than Intel’s UHD Graphics 770 found in the Core i7-14701E. For systems that rely on the integrated graphics for light rendering or media tasks, the AMD part holds an advantage. Additionally, the Ryzen 7 5705G has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, whereas the Core i7-14701E has a locked multiplier. The AMD processor also uses the mature AM4 socket, which supports DDR4 memory only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving the Intel chip a broader memory compatibility range.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different generations and foundries. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, manufactured by TSMC on a 7 nm process. The die size is 180 mm² and it contains 10,700 million transistors. The Intel Core i7-14701E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process. Its die size is 257 mm², and no transistor count is recorded in the database.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The Ryzen 7 5705G has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i7-14701E has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has more than double the L3 cache and four times the L2 cache per core, which contributes to its superior performance in cache-sensitive workloads.

Clock speeds also tell a clear story. The Ryzen 7 5705G has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Core i7-14701E has a lower base clock of 2.60 GHz but a much higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Intel chip’s 5.40 GHz boost clock is a major factor in its single-threaded performance advantage, allowing it to reach higher frequencies when workloads demand it.

Memory support differs as well. The Ryzen 7 5705G supports only DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. It does not support ECC memory. The Core i7-14701E supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, and it does support ECC memory. No memory bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part.

PCIe capabilities also separate the two. The Ryzen 7 5705G provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Core i7-14701E provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, a substantial generational leap that allows for much faster data transfer to compatible devices like NVMe storage and graphics cards.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark results are not recorded in the database for this pairing, so the comparison relies on the Intel part’s recorded scores and the AMD part’s lack of recorded scores. The Core i7-14701E delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22195 and a single-core score of 3133. In Cinebench R20, it scores 9321 multicore and 1315 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2237 multicore and 315 single-core. These results indicate strong performance across all rendering workloads, with the single-core scores being particularly notable given the 5.40 GHz boost clock.

In PassMark tests, the Core i7-14701E shows consistent strength. It scores 81325 in integer math, 61873 in floating-point math, and 18528 in extended instructions. Data compression reaches 282939, data encryption scores 14862, and prime number finding scores 176. Random string sorting scores 29158. The multithread score is 26112, and the single-thread score is 4305. Physics testing yields a score of 2399. These results place the Intel part in the 83rd percentile overall, with an average benchmark score of 33206.

The Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded benchmarks in the database, meaning its performance cannot be directly quantified. Its architecture suggests it would be competitive in multicore workloads given its 8 cores and 16 threads, but without recorded scores, any comparison would be speculative. The Intel part’s 33 MB of L3 cache and higher boost clock give it clear advantages in both single-threaded and cache-heavy workloads. The AMD part’s 16 MB L3 cache and 4.60 GHz boost clock are lower on both counts.

Nearest rival data for the Core i7-14701E shows how close the competition is at this performance tier. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33244 with a delta of -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091 with a delta of 0.3%, and the Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33089 with a delta of 0.4%. This means the Core i7-14701E is within 0.4% of all four rivals, making it part of a tightly clustered group of processors with nearly identical average scores.
