AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data between the Intel Core i5-14401E and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE is unusually one-sided. Across six Cinebench comparisons, the AMD part wins every single test, though the margins are consistently narrow. The largest gap appears in Cinebench R15 multi-core, where the Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE scores 1841 against the Intel's 1830, a delta of -0.6 percent from the Intel's perspective. That same 0.6 percent deficit repeats in Cinebench R20 multi-core (7674 vs 7627) and Cinebench R23 multi-core (18272 vs 18161).

Single-core results tell a similar story. In Cinebench R15 single-core, the AMD scores 259 versus 258, a 0.4 percent edge. Cinebench R20 single-core shows 1083 against 1076, again a 0.6 percent margin. Cinebench R23 single-core rounds out the sweep with 2579 versus 2564, another 0.6 percent difference. The pattern is consistent: the Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE leads by roughly half a percent in nearly every workload, with the single-core R15 test being the only exception at a slightly smaller margin.

What makes this interesting is that the Intel processor carries a higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz compared to the AMD's 4.60 GHz, yet it still trails in every Cinebench iteration. The data suggests the AMD's architecture extracts more performance per clock in these specific rendering workloads. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 5253, placing it at the 60th percentile among all CPUs. The AMD averages 5070, also at the 60th percentile, but its nearest rivals tell a slightly different story. The Intel i5-14401E sits within 0.2 percent of the Intel Core i7-11700B and i9-10850K, and just 0.8 percent ahead of the Core i5-13400T. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE, meanwhile, sits within 0.5 percent of the Intel Core i7-11850HE and essentially ties the Intel Xeon W-2155 with a 0 percent delta.

Neither processor dominates its peer group by a wide margin. The Intel's closest rival, the Xeon E5-2699A v4, is only 0.1 percent behind, while the AMD's closest rival, the Xeon W-2155, is a perfect match. These are tightly clustered mid-pack parts, and the head-to-head results reinforce that positioning: the AMD wins, but by margins that would be imperceptible in real-world use.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE wins all six head-to-head benchmark comparisons, which makes the use-case split straightforward from a pure performance standpoint. Any workload that relies on Cinebench-style multi-threaded rendering will favor the AMD, albeit slightly. The multi-core scores are 1841, 7674, and 18272 across R15, R20, and R23 respectively, each edging out the Intel by 0.6 percent. For single-threaded tasks, the AMD also leads, with scores of 259, 1083, and 2579 across the same three tests. The margin is consistent enough that the AMD can be considered the safer choice for both lightly threaded and heavily threaded applications within the measured test suite.

The Intel Core i5-14401E does not win a single recorded benchmark, but it does hold advantages in other measurable dimensions. It has a higher boost clock at 4.70 GHz, supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and offers PCIe Gen 5 connectivity with 16 lanes. These features do not translate into Cinebench wins, but they matter for platform flexibility. The AMD, by contrast, is limited to DDR4 memory and PCIe Gen 3, though it does offer a higher memory bandwidth figure of 51.2 GB/s, a number the Intel entry does not provide.

For users prioritizing raw rendering performance as measured by Cinebench, the AMD is the winner in every category. For users prioritizing newer platform features like PCIe Gen 5 or memory type flexibility, the Intel becomes the more attractive option despite its benchmark deficit. The AMD also wins on power efficiency, with a 35 W TDP against the Intel's 65 W, though the database does not include specific power consumption measurements to quantify the real-world impact.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Core i5-14401E is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, using a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel itself. The die size is 215 mm². The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE uses Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 180 mm². The AMD also lists a transistor count of 10,700 million, while the Intel entry does not provide one.

Core and thread counts differ meaningfully. The Intel has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the AMD has 8 cores and 16 threads. That is a 33 percent core advantage for the AMD, yet the multi-core benchmark margins are only around 0.6 percent. This suggests the Intel's per-core efficiency and higher boost clock compensate for its lower core count in these specific workloads. The cache hierarchy also diverges. The Intel uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The AMD uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel has more L2 per core and more total L3, which may explain why its 6-core configuration stays competitive with the AMD's 8-core design.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Intel pairs with UHD Graphics 730, while the AMD includes Radeon Vega 8. Neither processor is unlocked for overclocking, so both ship with fixed multipliers. The AMD supports ECC memory, and so does the Intel, which is notable for workstation-oriented builds. The AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 51.2 GB/s, while the Intel's is not recorded in the database.

Specification Differences

The two CPUs diverge across nearly every major specification category. The Intel has 6 cores and 12 threads; the AMD has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 2.50 GHz for the Intel and 3.20 GHz for the AMD, while boost clocks are 4.70 GHz for the Intel and 4.60 GHz for the AMD. The Intel runs at a 65 W TDP, the AMD at 35 W. The Intel uses Socket 1700, the AMD uses Socket AM4.

Process nodes differ: Intel is on 10 nm at its own foundry, AMD is on 7 nm at TSMC. The Intel die is 215 mm², the AMD die is 180 mm². The AMD lists 10,700 million transistors; the Intel does not. Memory support is another split: the Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5, the AMD only DDR4. Both are dual-channel. The Intel offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, the AMD offers PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. The Intel's integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730, the AMD's are Radeon Vega 8. Both support ECC memory. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel was released in 2024, the AMD in 2021. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The data points in one clear direction for raw performance: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE wins every head-to-head Cinebench test, from single-core R15 to multi-core R23. The margins are narrow, never exceeding 0.6 percent, but they are consistent across all six measurements. For anyone selecting a processor based strictly on the recorded benchmark results, the AMD is the better choice.

However, the Intel Core i5-14401E offers compensating platform advantages. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, provides PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, and carries a higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It also has a larger L3 cache at 20 MB shared, compared to the AMD's 16 MB, and more L2 cache per core at 1.25 MB versus 512 KB. These features do not appear in the Cinebench scores, but they matter for system builders who value future-proofing or memory flexibility.

The AMD wins on efficiency and core count. Its 35 W TDP is significantly lower than the Intel's 65 W, and its 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides more parallel processing headroom on paper. It also lists a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, a figure the Intel does not provide. The AMD's smaller 7 nm process and TSMC fabrication may appeal to those prioritizing power efficiency.

Users who need maximum Cinebench rendering performance, lower power draw, and more cores should choose the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5750GE. Users who need DDR5 support, PCIe Gen 5, and a newer 2024 release date should choose the Intel Core i5-14401E, accepting a small but consistent benchmark deficit. The database shows a clear performance winner, but the platform features tell a more balanced story.
