AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two processors along clear lines of workload emphasis. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G and Intel Core i9-14901E both offer 8 cores and 16 threads, but their performance profiles diverge sharply depending on whether the task is single-threaded, multi-threaded, or dominated by specialized instruction sets.

The Intel Core i9-14901E holds the advantage in every recorded benchmark category. The database shows the Intel part winning all 17 measured tests, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded wins. This is not a narrow margin either. The Intel processor's lead ranges from moderate in some integer workloads to substantial in single-core and multi-core rendering tests.

For single-threaded work, the Intel Core i9-14901E is decisively ahead. In Cinebench R23 single-core, it scores 3635, and in PassMark single-thread it reaches 4354. The AMD part has no recorded scores in the database, which means the comparison relies entirely on the Intel side's measured performance. The Intel CPU's boost clock of 5.60 GHz against the AMD's 4.60 GHz explains why single-threaded tasks favor Intel so heavily.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel part again leads. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows 25753 for the Intel, and PassMark multi-thread shows 30298. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no benchmark entries, so the data cannot show a direct head-to-head delta, but the Intel processor's scores place it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Specialized workloads follow the same pattern. The Intel Core i9-14901E records strong results in PassMark data compression (288777), data encryption (18571), extended instructions (17249), and floating-point math (81089). These numbers indicate a processor that handles both general-purpose and vectorized workloads effectively. The AMD part's absence from the benchmark database means its capabilities in these areas remain unmeasured.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing approaches. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process, built on the Cezanne codename. It packs 10,700 million transistors into a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i9-14901E uses Raptor Lake architecture (specifically Raptor Lake Refresh) on Intel's 10 nm process, with a 257 mm² die size. Intel does not list a transistor count in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part offers 80 KB of L1 per core, a much larger 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor's L3 cache is more than double the AMD's, and its per-core L2 is four times larger. This cache advantage likely contributes to the Intel part's strong single-threaded performance.

Memory support diverges as well. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G supports only DDR4 memory with dual-channel access, delivering 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel Core i9-14901E supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database does not list a bandwidth figure for Intel. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, offering substantially higher transfer rates for attached devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors. The Intel Core i9-14901E includes UHD Graphics 770. Both provide display output, but their compute capabilities are not directly compared in the benchmark data.

The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, making it suitable for overclocking. The Intel part is locked. The AMD processor released later, on 2025-02-23, while the Intel processor came out on 2024-06-30. Both remain in active production.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, a direct numerical comparison against the Intel Core i9-14901E is impossible. The data shows zero wins for AMD and 17 wins for Intel, but the absence of AMD scores means no delta percentages can be calculated.

The Intel Core i9-14901E's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance tier. It sits within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 (delta 0%), 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (delta -0.1%), 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core 5 211E (delta 0.2%), and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 (delta 0.3%). These are all extremely close margins, indicating the Intel part's average benchmark score of 37911 places it in a tightly contested performance band.

Looking at the Intel processor's individual scores, Cinebench R23 multi-core at 25753 and single-core at 3635 show a ratio of roughly 7.1:1, which is typical for an 8-core, 16-thread processor. PassMark integer math at 112736 and floating-point math at 81089 indicate a stronger showing in integer operations. Data compression at 288777 is notably high, suggesting efficient handling of compression algorithms. Random string sorting at 39138 and find prime numbers at 189 round out the PassMark suite.

The single-thread scores deserve attention. Cinebench R15 single-core at 366, R20 at 1526, and R23 at 3635 show a consistent progression across versions. PassMark single-thread at 4354 (listed twice in the database, under slightly different test names) confirms the processor's strength in lightly threaded applications. The 5.60 GHz boost clock is the highest among the two processors and directly supports these results.

The Verdict

The data presents a one-sided comparison. The Intel Core i9-14901E delivers strong performance across all recorded benchmark categories, with scores placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, with margins under 0.3%, meaning it trades blows with some of AMD's recent high-end parts.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, despite having 8 cores and 16 threads, lacks any recorded benchmark data in the database. This absence prevents a quantitative comparison. What the database does show is that the AMD part uses older Zen 3 architecture, a smaller 16 MB L3 cache, PCIe Gen 3, DDR4-only memory, and no ECC support. The Intel part uses newer Raptor Lake architecture, 36 MB of L3, PCIe Gen 5, DDR5 support, and ECC capability.

For users prioritizing single-threaded performance, the Intel Core i9-14901E is the clear choice based on its 5.60 GHz boost clock and high Cinebench single-core scores. For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel part's 25753 Cinebench R23 multi-core score and 30298 PassMark multi-thread score indicate strong parallel throughput. The AMD processor's unlocked multiplier offers overclocking flexibility that the Intel part lacks, but without benchmark data, the practical benefit cannot be quantified.

The Intel processor's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, plus ECC memory, gives it broader platform flexibility. The AMD processor's AM4 socket and DDR4-only support limit it to older platforms. The Intel part's PCIe Gen 5 support also future-proofs storage and GPU connectivity better than AMD's PCIe Gen 3.
