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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no directly paired benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE and the Intel Core i5-14490F. The recorded data for the Intel part, however, provides a complete picture of its performance across Cinebench and PassMark workloads. The AMD processor has no benchmark entries in the database, which means every numerical comparison below reflects the Intel chip's absolute scores, with the AMD side assessed qualitatively based on its architectural specifications.

Starting with Cinebench, the Intel Core i5-14490F posts a multi-core score of 2318 in Cinebench R15, a single-core score of 327 in the same test, and moves to 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core in Cinebench R20. In Cinebench R23, the Intel chip records 23000 multi-core and 3247 single-core. These scores place the i5-14490F at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 38149. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T at 38194 (0.1% ahead of the i5-14490F), the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38103 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38221 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38261 (0.3% ahead). The deltas are tight, all within a 0.4% band, which indicates that the i5-14490F sits in a highly competitive cluster of mid-range desktop processors.

The Passmark results for the Intel chip add further texture. In integer math, the i5-14490F scores 87844, while floating point math reaches 66558. Extended instructions produce 21731, and find prime numbers yields 122. Data compression scores 340026, data encryption 18225, and random string sorting 35608. The multithread score is 28662, physics 2093, and single-thread 3873 (recorded twice under two test names, single_thread and singlethread, with identical values). The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no corresponding entries, so no head-to-head win count can be established; the database records zero wins for either side.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear performance profile for the Intel Core i5-14490F, but the absence of any benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE means a direct verdict cannot be derived from numerical comparison. What the database does reveal is that the i5-14490F occupies the 86th percentile among all CPUs, with an average score of 38149, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of that figure. The Ryzen 7 5705GE, by contrast, sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero in the database, simply because no measurements exist for it.

For users who require a processor with a verified performance record, the Intel part is the only one among these two with data to support a purchase decision. The i5-14490F delivers strong multi-threaded results, as shown by its 23000 Cinebench R23 multi-core score and its 28662 Passmark multithread score. The AMD part, however, carries a 35-watt TDP and an integrated Radeon Graphics 512SP engine, which the Intel part lacks entirely (the i5-14490F has no integrated graphics). The Ryzen 7 5705GE also features an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel chip is locked. From the data alone, the Intel processor is the measured performer, while the AMD chip offers features that are not benchmarked here, such as low power draw and built-in graphics.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its cache hierarchy consists of 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 total. The AMD chip supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. It includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, making it a complete system-on-chip for AM4 motherboards.

The Intel Core i5-14490F belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, using the Raptor Lake architecture and the Raptor Lake-R codename. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm², though the transistor count is not recorded in the database. The Intel chip has 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its cache is larger in L3: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, although its memory bandwidth figure is not listed. It uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, a generational leap over the AMD chip's Gen 3 interface. The Intel part has no integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU.

The TDP difference is stark: the AMD chip draws 35 watts, while the Intel chip has a 65-watt TDP. The Intel chip also comes with a locked multiplier, while the AMD chip offers an unlocked multiplier for overclocking. The AMD chip targets the AM4 socket, the Intel chip uses Socket 1700. Both processors support ECC memory in name, but the database marks ECC support as false for both.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14490F wins in every category where measurements exist. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23000 and single-core score of 3247 demonstrate balanced strength across both threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The Passmark suite confirms this pattern: integer math at 87844, floating point math at 66558, and extended instructions at 21731 all point to a processor that handles compute-heavy tasks with ease. The data compression score of 340026 and random string sorting score of 35608 suggest strong performance in data manipulation workloads. The multithread score of 28662 and physics score of 2093 further reinforce the Intel chip's capability in multi-threaded rendering and simulation tasks. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.3% in average score, indicate that the i5-14490F is a solid mid-range performer that competes directly with the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, the Intel Core i5-13600KF, the AMD Ryzen 7 250, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE wins in areas that are not benchmarked in the database but are disclosed in its specifications. Its 35-watt TDP is nearly half the Intel chip's 65-watt TDP, making it the more power-efficient option for compact or low-power builds. Its integrated Radeon Graphics 512SP provides display output without a discrete GPU, which the Intel chip cannot do. The unlocked multiplier offers overclocking flexibility that the locked Intel chip lacks. Its 7 nm process node at TSMC, versus the Intel chip's 10 nm process, suggests a more advanced manufacturing technology, though the database records no performance impact from this difference. The AMD chip also uses a smaller die at 180 mm² compared to the Intel chip's 215 mm², and it supports only DDR4 memory, while the Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5.

For users who prioritize measured performance, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the only processor with a verified track record in the database. For users who prioritize low power draw, integrated graphics, or overclocking headroom, the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE offers those features on paper, even without benchmark confirmation. The database shows no head-to-head tests between these two parts, so the decision rests on the Intel chip's documented scores and the AMD chip's stated specifications.
