AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a lopsided benchmark rivalry. The Intel Core i7-14701E wins 15 of the 17 head-to-head comparisons, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE secures only 2 wins. The margin of victory, however, varies dramatically by workload, which reveals distinct performance personalities.

In Cinebench tests, Intel dominates uniformly. Across all six Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 runs, the Intel part leads by exactly 20% in both single-core and multi-core tests. The R23 multi-core score of 22,195 versus 17,759 for AMD, and the R23 single-core score of 3,133 versus 2,507, both reflect that consistent 20% gap. This suggests Intel's architectural advantage translates evenly across rendering workloads, regardless of thread count.

The PassMark suite tells a more nuanced story. Intel's largest wins come in prime number finding, where it scores 176 versus AMD's 50, a 71.6% advantage. Physics simulation shows a 64.9% gap (2,399 versus 841). Floating-point math favors Intel by 24.7% (61,873 versus 46,589). These are substantial margins in compute-heavy tasks.

AMD's two wins are narrow but notable. In integer math, AMD scores 84,004 versus Intel's 81,325, a 3.3% advantage. In data encryption, AMD leads 16,937 versus 14,862, a 14% margin. These wins indicate AMD's Zen 3 cores handle integer-heavy and encryption workloads more efficiently, despite losing most other tests.

Other PassMark results favor Intel with smaller gaps. Data compression shows Intel ahead by 10.6% (282,939 versus 252,937). Extended instructions see Intel up by 8.1% (18,528 versus 17,029). Random string sorting gives Intel a 6.1% edge (29,158 versus 27,373). Multi-thread performance shows Intel ahead by 20.1% (26,112 versus 20,870), and single-thread by 22.1% (4,305 versus 3,353).

The average benchmark score reinforces this hierarchy: Intel's average is 33,206 versus AMD's 29,656, a difference that places Intel at the 83rd percentile compared to 81st for AMD. However, the nearest rivals for each chip tell a different story about competitive positioning. AMD's closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X at 29,713, just 0.2% ahead. Intel's nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H at 33,201, essentially tied at 0% delta. This suggests both chips are well-matched within their respective performance tiers, even though Intel sits higher overall.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. AMD uses a 7 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry. This process gap partly explains why AMD achieves its performance at a 35 W TDP, compared to Intel's 65 W TDP, despite Intel being the faster chip in most tests.

AMD's architecture is Zen 3, codenamed Cezanne, part of the 5000 series. Intel uses Raptor Lake, specifically Raptor Lake-R, from the Core 14th Gen family. Both have 8 cores and 16 threads, so thread counts are identical, but the underlying microarchitectures diverge significantly.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. Intel's larger L2 and L3 caches likely contribute to its wins in data compression and random string sorting, where larger working sets benefit from more cache capacity.

Clock speeds also differ. AMD has a 3.20 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. Intel has a lower 2.60 GHz base but a higher 5.40 GHz boost. The higher boost clock aligns with Intel's 20% single-core advantage in Cinebench tests, while the lower base clock suggests Intel relies more on turbo behavior.

Memory support diverges. AMD supports only DDR4 with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Intel also supports ECC memory, while AMD does not. This makes Intel more suitable for error-sensitive workloads.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. AMD uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Intel's PCIe Gen 5 support enables higher bandwidth for compatible devices, though the database does not record specific throughput numbers.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The database records no graphics benchmarks, so relative iGPU performance cannot be quantified from this data.

Die size and transistor counts reveal physical differences. AMD's die measures 180 mm² with 10,700 million transistors. Intel's die is larger at 257 mm², but transistor count is not recorded. The smaller AMD die combined with a 7 nm process explains its lower TDP.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear performance hierarchy. Intel wins 15 of 17 benchmarks, including all rendering tests and the majority of PassMark workloads. The average benchmark score of 33,206 versus 29,656 places Intel roughly 12% higher overall. For users prioritizing raw compute throughput, especially in rendering, physics, and floating-point math, the Intel Core i7-14701E is the stronger choice.

AMD's wins in integer math and data encryption, combined with a 35 W TDP, suggest it is the more efficient option for specific workloads. The 14% encryption lead and 3.3% integer lead are meaningful for security-focused tasks or integer-heavy code. The 35 W TDP also indicates lower power draw, though the database records no direct power consumption measurements.

The percentile rankings show both chips are above average, with Intel at the 83rd percentile and AMD at 81st. The nearest rival data indicates both are competitively placed against similar-class processors. AMD's closest rival, the Ryzen 5 9600X, is 0.2% ahead, essentially a tie. Intel's closest rival, the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H, is exactly tied at 0% delta. This suggests both chips are well-calibrated within their respective market tiers.

For users who need maximum multi-threaded performance in rendering or simulation, Intel's 20% Cinebench advantage is decisive. For users who prioritize integer-heavy workloads, encryption, or lower power consumption, AMD's wins provide a rationale. The choice depends on whether the workload aligns with Intel's broad strength or AMD's specific advantages.

Where Each One Wins

Intel wins in rendering workloads. All Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 tests show a 20% advantage in both single and multi-core. This means video rendering, 3D animation, and photo processing software that relies on Cinebench-like workloads will run faster on the Intel part.

Intel also dominates in compute-heavy tasks. Prime number finding shows a 71.6% lead, physics simulation a 64.9% lead, and floating-point math a 24.7% lead. These results indicate Intel's strength in scientific computing, simulation, and mathematical modeling.

Intel leads in data compression by 10.6%, extended instructions by 8.1%, and random string sorting by 6.1%. These wins cover data processing, compression utilities, and sorting algorithms.

Intel wins multi-thread performance by 20.1% and single-thread performance by 22.1%, confirming broad general-purpose strength.

AMD wins in two specific areas. Data encryption shows a 14% advantage, suggesting AMD's architecture handles cryptographic operations more efficiently. Integer math shows a 3.3% edge, indicating AMD is slightly better for integer-heavy code such as certain database operations or game logic.

AMD's 35 W TDP versus Intel's 65 W TDP also positions AMD favorably for power-constrained environments, though the database does not record actual power consumption. For workloads that align with AMD's wins, encryption and integer processing, and where lower TDP matters, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the data-supported choice. For all other measured workloads, Intel's Core i7-14701E delivers higher performance.
