AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly favors the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS in almost every measurable category, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, making a direct numerical comparison impossible for most tests. The Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 25,165, a single-core R23 score of 3,552, and a Passmark multithread score of 30,378; the Intel part has no scores recorded across any benchmark. The Intel Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part ranks at the 88th percentile, a substantial gap in overall positioning. The AMD processor is the only one of the two with usable performance data, so any workload requiring measured throughput should target the Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS. The Intel part, despite its 24 MB of shared L3 cache and Gen 5 PCIe support, cannot be evaluated for performance from the database as it has zero recorded benchmark results. For users who need a mobile processor with a strong integrated GPU, the Radeon 780M in the AMD part is present, whereas the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD processor has a full set of recorded scores, while the Intel processor has no scores at all. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS achieves a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2,536 and a single-core score of 357. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10,569 multicore and 1,491 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 25,165 multicore and 3,552 single-core. Passmark results for the AMD part include a data compression score of 368,884, data encryption of 21,820, extended instructions of 27,714, find prime numbers of 91, floating point math of 63,490, integer math of 103,390, multithread of 30,378, physics of 1,430, random string sorting of 44,668, and single thread of 3,920. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded scores in any of these tests, so its performance relative to the AMD part cannot be quantified from the database. The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 41,963, while the Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0. The AMD part ranks at the 88th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel part ranks at the 50th percentile. In nearest rival comparisons, the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS sits close to the Intel Core i7-14700T with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 at -0.2%, the Intel Core i7-12850HX at 0.4%, and the Intel Core 7 251TE at 0.8%. These deltas indicate the AMD part is tightly grouped with those processors in average score, but no such rival data exists for the Intel Core i5-14501TE.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS wins in every category where benchmark data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 25,165 and single-core score of 3,552 demonstrate strong performance in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The Passmark multithread score of 30,378 and integer math score of 103,390 indicate solid throughput for general computing and integer-heavy tasks. The floating point math score of 63,490 and extended instructions score of 27,714 show capability in numerically intensive work. The data compression score of 368,884 and encryption score of 21,820 point to strong performance in data handling and security-related tasks. The random string sorting score of 44,668 and physics score of 1,430 round out a comprehensive performance profile. The 88th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well above the Intel part's 50th percentile. The Intel Core i5-14501TE, with no recorded benchmark scores, cannot claim wins in any measured category from the database. Its higher L3 cache of 24 MB compared to 16 MB on the AMD part is a specification advantage, but no performance data confirms any benefit. Its PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes is a connectivity specification advantage over the AMD part's Gen 4 with 20 lanes, but again no benchmark confirms an impact. The Intel part's support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory gives it broader memory compatibility, while the AMD part supports only DDR5. The AMD part's higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 5.10 GHz on the Intel part, combined with its 8 cores versus 6 cores, gives it a structural performance advantage on paper. For workloads that rely on the integrated GPU, the AMD Radeon 780M is a distinct feature, but no benchmark scores exist for either iGPU in the database.
