AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two processors into sharply different roles. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the only one of the pair with benchmark results in the database; the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded scores at all. That means every measured win belongs to the AMD part, but the structure of the comparison matters more than the raw count.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS carries 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. In multithreaded workloads, the AMD processor has a 33% thread advantage and a 33% core advantage. Its 16 MB of shared L3 cache, 4 nm TSMC process, and 28 W TDP position it for sustained mobile workloads. The Intel part, by contrast, is a desktop chip with a 65 W TDP, a 215 mm² die on Intel's 10 nm process, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

The AMD processor's benchmark scores span Cinebench R15 and R23, plus the PassMark suite. Its percentile rank against all CPUs in the database stands at 87, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of recorded processors. The Intel part sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure comes with an average benchmark score of zero, so it reflects no measured performance, only its position in the database catalog.

For use-case planning, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the processor with verified performance data for mobile platforms. It uses AMD Socket FP7, supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and includes Radeon 780M integrated graphics. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses Intel Socket 1700, supports both DDR4 and DDR5, and includes UHD Graphics 770. The Intel part also offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes.

The practical split is clear: the AMD chip is a measured performer in a mobile form factor, while the Intel chip is a desktop part with no benchmark scores in the database. Any workload comparison must account for that asymmetry.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14501E has an empty benchmark array, so no comparative scores exist for Cinebench, PassMark, or any other test.

What the database does provide is a full set of measured scores for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14,784 in multicore and 1,724 in single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2,458 in multicore and 271.5 in single-core. These figures establish a performance baseline, but without Intel scores to compare, they cannot be turned into deltas.

The PassMark results for the AMD part show a spread across workload types. Integer math scores 93,342, floating point math scores 55,739, and extended instructions score 22,298. Data compression scores 311,199, data encryption scores 18,838, and random string sorting scores 37,922. Prime number finding scores 84, physics scores 1,351, and multithread scores 26,646. Single-thread performance scores 3,692.

The nearest rivals for the AMD processor, all with recorded average scores, provide context. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has an average score of 39,485, which is 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS's average of 39,603. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D scores 39,768, putting it 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS scores 39,325, which is 0.7% lower. The AMD EPYC 4245P scores 39,215, which is 1% lower.

These deltas are small, indicating that the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS sits in a tightly clustered performance band among its nearest competitors. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no such rival data, so no comparable positioning exists for it in the database.

The absence of head-to-head data means the only verifiable performance statements concern the AMD processor's absolute scores and its relative position to other AMD parts. The Intel processor's performance remains unmeasured.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every physical and electrical specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E uses 6 cores and 12 threads. Both have a base clock of 3.30 GHz, but boost clocks differ: 5.10 GHz for AMD, 5.20 GHz for Intel.

Power envelopes diverge sharply. The AMD part has a TDP of 28 W, while the Intel part has a TDP of 65 W. That is more than double the thermal design power for the Intel chip.

Sockets are incompatible. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP7. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 in dual-channel mode with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it.

PCIe generations and lane counts differ. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes. The Intel processor uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD part includes Radeon 780M. The Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770.

Both processors support ECC memory. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. Both are listed as active production parts.

Release dates differ by about two and a half months. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS was released on April 15, 2024. The Intel Core i5-14501E was released on June 30, 2024.

Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS uses Zen 4 architecture with the codename Hawk Point. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The die size is 178 mm², and the transistor count is 25,000 million.

The Intel Core i5-14501E uses Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R. It belongs to Core 14th Gen and the Core i5 generation. The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel. The die size is 215 mm². No transistor count is recorded for the Intel part.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and organization. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has larger per-core caches and a larger shared L3 pool.

Market segments are different. The AMD processor targets mobile platforms. The Intel processor targets desktop platforms. This aligns with the TDP difference: 28 W for mobile, 65 W for desktop.

The foundry split is notable. AMD uses TSMC's 4 nm process. Intel uses its own 10 nm process. The die size difference reflects the process and architecture choices: 178 mm² for AMD, 215 mm² for Intel.

The AMD processor's transistor count of 25,000 million is recorded, while the Intel processor's transistor count is not available. The AMD part achieves its performance with a smaller die and a more advanced process node.

Both processors have integrated graphics, but the architectures differ: Radeon 780M for AMD, UHD Graphics 770 for Intel. Both support ECC memory, which suits professional and server-adjacent workloads.

The power delivery requirements differ substantially. The 28 W TDP of the AMD part enables thinner mobile designs. The 65 W TDP of the Intel part demands more robust cooling and power delivery, consistent with a desktop socket.

The database records no 3D V-Cache for either processor. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD processor's PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes versus the Intel processor's PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes represents a trade-off between total lane count and per-lane bandwidth.

The release cadence places the AMD part earlier in 2024, with the Intel part following in the middle of the year. Both remain active production parts. Neither has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking headroom is limited on both platforms.
