AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a substantial performance gap between the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX and the Intel Core i5-14501TE, primarily driven by the AMD processor's larger core count and higher thread count. The Ryzen 7 8840HX delivers 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads, a doubling of both resources that directly influences the benchmark results.

Cinebench R23 multi-core results place the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX at 25,265 points. This score positions the processor in the 94th percentile among all CPUs in the database, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of recorded processors. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded Cinebench R23 scores in the database, so no direct multi-core comparison is possible from the benchmark data. However, the AMD processor's percentile ranking and its 71,797 average benchmark score across all tests suggest it operates in a performance tier that the Intel part, with its 50th percentile ranking and zero recorded average score, is unlikely to reach based on the available data.

In single-core performance, the Cinebench R23 result for the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX is 1,857 points. PassMark single-thread testing shows a score of 3,958 for the AMD processor. The Intel Core i5-14501TE again lacks any recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning the comparison must rely on the established averages and percentiles. The AMD part's 94th percentile versus the Intel part's 50th percentile creates a clear separation in expected performance across workload types.

PassMark integer math results for the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX reach 146,506 points, while floating point math scores 86,747 points. The extended instructions test records 36,527 points, and the find prime numbers test returns a score of 304. The AMD processor also delivers 41,732 points in PassMark multi-thread testing and 2,185 points in the physics test. Data compression scores 496,427 points, data encryption scores 29,919 points, and random string sorting scores 57,971 points. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no comparable entries in any of these test categories.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF with an average score of 71,910 and a delta of -0.2 percent relative to the AMD processor, meaning the AMD part performs essentially equivalently to that rival. The Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 scores 71,370 on average, which is 0.6 percent below the AMD part. The Intel Xeon 6517P averages 72,350 points, putting it 0.8 percent ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX, and the Intel Xeon 6724P averages 72,396 points, also 0.8 percent ahead. These deltas show the AMD processor sits in a tight competitive band with those server-class parts, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no nearest rival data recorded at all.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX across every measurable dimension. The AMD processor holds a 94th percentile position among all CPUs, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile. The AMD part's average benchmark score of 71,797 dwarfs the Intel part's recorded average of zero, which reflects the absence of any benchmark entries for the Intel processor in the database.

The core and thread configuration tells a decisive story. The AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX uses 12 cores and 24 threads, which is exactly double the Intel Core i5-14501TE's 6 cores and 12 threads. This structural advantage, combined with the AMD processor's higher base clock of 2.90 GHz versus 2.20 GHz on the Intel part, and an identical boost clock of 5.10 GHz on both, means the AMD processor should sustain higher throughput in multi-threaded workloads. The AMD part also features a larger L3 cache at 64 MB shared, compared to 24 MB shared on the Intel processor, which further supports its multi-core dominance.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE does hold advantages in specific areas that the data records. It supports ECC memory, which the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX does not, making it suitable for error-sensitive computing environments. The Intel processor also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports only DDR5. The Intel part is a desktop segment processor with a 45 W TDP, whereas the AMD processor is a mobile segment part with a 55 W TDP. The Intel processor uses the Intel Socket 1700, while the AMD part uses the AMD Socket FL1. The Intel processor has a locked multiplier, while the AMD part has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking.

For workloads requiring maximum multi-threaded performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 8840HX is the clear choice based on its core count, cache size, and benchmark percentile. For applications that require ECC memory support or compatibility with DDR4 modules, the Intel Core i5-14501TE offers those specific features. The data does not support any performance-based argument for the Intel part, as it has no recorded benchmark scores to compare.
