AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any recorded head-to-head benchmark entries comparing the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX with the Intel Core i5-14501E. As a result, there are no direct per-test scores, win counts, or delta percentages available for a side-by-side comparison of these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark records in the database at all, with an average benchmark score of zero and a percentile ranking of 50 among all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX, by contrast, is fully benchmarked across eleven PassMark tests, delivering an average benchmark score of 60,104 and sitting in the 92nd percentile of all CPUs.

Looking at the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX alone, the recorded data shows strong multi-threaded performance. The PassMark multithread score is 31,517, while integer math reaches 100,328 and floating point math hits 61,972. Data compression scores 363,759, and random string sorting records 44,494. Single-thread performance is measured at 3,879, with extended instructions scoring 27,638 and data encryption scoring 21,840. Physics testing yields 1,681, and prime number finding records 159. These figures establish a baseline for the AMD part, but without corresponding Intel measurements, no direct percentage advantages or deficits can be calculated between the two processors.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX provide context for its standing. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX posts an average score of 60,099, which is effectively identical at a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core i9-14900F averages 60,008, putting it 0.2 percent behind the 8745HX. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D averages 59,641, which is 0.8 percent lower. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338T averages 60,572, placing it 0.8 percent ahead. These figures show the 8745HX competing within a tight band of high-end processors, but they do not illuminate how it fares against the i5-14501E specifically.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not provide a direct performance comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX has a full set of benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 60,104, and a 92nd percentile ranking. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores in the database, an average benchmark score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. Any verdict must therefore rely on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas.

The AMD processor offers more cores, more threads, a larger L3 cache, a smaller process node, a smaller die, and a higher memory bandwidth figure. It also has an unlocked multiplier and a lower TDP. The Intel processor offers a higher boost clock, ECC memory support, DDR4 compatibility, a larger L1 and L2 cache per core, and a larger die size. The market segments differ entirely, with AMD targeting mobile and Intel targeting desktop.

For workloads that depend on multi-threaded throughput, the AMD part has the structural advantage in core count and thread count. For workloads that depend on maximum single-core boost frequency, the Intel part holds a 0.10 GHz advantage. ECC memory support on the Intel side may matter for specific reliability-sensitive applications. The absence of Intel benchmark data prevents any quantitative claim about which processor is faster in any given test.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX wins on parallelism. Its 8 cores and 16 threads exceed the Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads. Its 32 MB shared L3 cache is larger than Intel's 24 MB. Its 5 nm process node is denser than Intel's 10 nm node. Its 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is recorded, while Intel's is not. Its unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, and its 55 TDP is lower than Intel's 65. The mobile market segment suggests suitability for high-performance laptops, though the database does not record chassis-level details.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on certain feature-level specifications. Its boost clock of 5.20 GHz is higher than AMD's 5.10 GHz. Its L1 cache of 80 KB per core and L2 cache of 1.25 MB per core both exceed AMD's 64 KB and 1 MB per-core figures. It supports ECC memory, which AMD does not. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving memory flexibility that AMD lacks. Its UHD Graphics 770 integrated GPU differs from AMD's Radeon 610M, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded. The desktop socket and locked multiplier position it as a fixed-configuration desktop part.

Neither processor can be declared a performance winner from the recorded data, because the Intel part has no benchmark entries. The database shows the AMD part's measured scores and its position among high-end rivals, but the Intel part's capabilities remain unquantified. Selection between the two would depend on platform requirements: mobile versus desktop, ECC versus non-ECC, DDR4 compatibility versus higher recorded memory bandwidth, and unlocked versus locked multiplier.
