AMD Ryzen 7 8700F vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F is the clear performance leader in this comparison. The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries between the two processors, and the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of zero, and a percentile rank of 50 versus the AMD part's 82nd percentile. The data indicates the AMD processor is the only option with measurable performance data, and it delivers substantial multi-threaded capability through its 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part, with 6 cores and 12 threads, sits in a lower performance class, but it offers integrated graphics, ECC memory support, and a lower 45 W TDP, making it the choice for systems that prioritize those specific features over raw compute throughput.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Phoenix, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It is part of the 8000 series and targets the desktop market segment with an AMD Socket AM5 interface. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. It belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and also targets desktops, but it uses Intel Socket 1700.

The transistor counts differ significantly. The AMD part packs 25,000 million transistors onto a 178 mm² die, while the Intel part's transistor count is not recorded in the database. The Intel die is larger at 215 mm². Cache layouts also diverge. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a larger 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Despite the smaller L3, the AMD part compensates with a more modern process node and higher core count.

The AMD chip has no integrated graphics, listing "N/A" for that field. The Intel chip includes UHD Graphics 770. This is a critical architectural distinction for systems that will not use a discrete GPU. The AMD processor also has an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel processor is locked. Memory support differs: the AMD chip uses DDR5 exclusively with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded. ECC memory is not supported on the AMD part, but it is supported on the Intel part. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F has a full suite of 25 benchmark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has an empty benchmark array. The win counts are zero for both sides, reflecting the absence of direct comparison data.

Without direct head-to-head numbers, the available reference points come from the AMD processor's absolute scores and its nearest rivals. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26,646 and a single-core score of 3,761. Its Geekbench multicore score is 13,523 and single-core is 2,290. In Passmark tests, it records a multithread score of 30,893, a single-thread score of 3,872, integer math at 100,371, and floating-point math at 62,629. These figures establish a strong performance baseline, but they cannot be directly contrasted with Intel measurements because none exist for the i5-14501TE.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the AMD part's standing. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS has an average score of 30,879 and trails the 8700F by 0.4%. The Intel Core i5-13600H has an average score of 30,548 and trails by 0.6%. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225T has an average score of 30,468 and trails by 0.9%. The Intel Core i7-13700TE has an average score of 31,028 and leads by 0.9%. These deltas show the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F sits in a tightly contested band, within roughly one percentage point of all four rivals. Its percentile rank of 82 against all CPUs confirms it belongs in the upper tier of recorded desktop processors.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F wins in compute-heavy workloads. Its 8 cores and 16 threads provide a 33% advantage in core count and thread count over the Intel part. The base clock of 4.10 GHz is nearly double the Intel's 2.20 GHz, which gives the AMD chip a substantial head start in lightly threaded tasks despite the Intel part's slightly higher 5.10 GHz boost. The AMD processor's recorded benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 26,646 and a Passmark multithread score of 30,893, confirm strong multi-threaded performance. Its unlocked multiplier also allows frequency tuning, which the locked Intel part cannot match. The AMD chip uses DDR5 memory with a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and its 4 nm process node delivers a smaller die at 178 mm² with 25,000 million transistors.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins in platform flexibility and power efficiency. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving builders a wider choice of existing memory modules. It includes UHD Graphics 770, so a system can operate without a discrete graphics card. It supports ECC memory, which is relevant for error-sensitive workloads. Its TDP of 45 W is 20 W lower than the AMD part's 65 W, making it the more power-conscious option. The Intel part also has a larger shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 16 MB, and it uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, a newer interface standard than the AMD chip's Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The Intel processor's boost clock of 5.10 GHz is the highest single-clock figure between the two.

The database shows a clear split: the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F is the performance-oriented choice with measurable benchmark results and an 82nd percentile standing, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE is the feature-oriented choice with integrated graphics, ECC support, dual memory standards, and lower power draw. For workloads that depend on multi-threaded throughput, the AMD part has the data to back its position. For systems that need onboard display output, error-correcting memory, or minimal power consumption, the Intel part holds the advantage.
