AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 is extensive, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible. However, the available measurements for the AMD part allow for a detailed characterization of its performance profile, and that profile can be positioned against the known specifications of the Intel processor.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 7840 and a single-core score of 1812. In Cinebench R15, it records 1191 points multi-core and 199.9 points single-core. PassMark results show a multi-thread score of 12797, a single-thread score of 3515, and a 73rd percentile ranking across all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score sits at 18811.

The nearest rivals for the AMD chip, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i7-1355U at 18730 (a delta of 0.4 percent), the AMD EPYC 7643 at 18697 (0.6 percent), the Intel Core i5-12400 at 18683 (0.7 percent), and the AMD EPYC 7773X at 18979 (-0.9 percent). These deltas are exceptionally tight, indicating that the Ryzen AI 5 330 lands in a crowded performance band where the top and bottom of its immediate competitive set differ by less than two percent. The Ryzen AI 5 330 sits just 0.4 percent above the Core i7-1355U and 0.7 percent above the Core i5-12400, while trailing the EPYC 7773X by 0.9 percent. This suggests that the AMD part’s overall average performance is essentially equivalent to a mainstream Intel desktop chip like the Core i5-12400 and a low-power Intel mobile chip like the Core i7-1355U.

Breaking down the PassMark sub-tests for the Ryzen AI 5 330, the data shows an integer math score of 37771, floating point math of 26196, and extended instructions (SIMD) of 11124. Data compression scores 152012, data encryption 7251, and random string sorting 16188. Physics simulation scores 705, and prime number finding scores 42. These figures collectively drive the multi-thread score of 12797.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking is 50, which is the median position, but this is based on no direct measurements. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330, by contrast, holds a 73rd percentile position, meaning it outperforms 73 percent of all CPUs in the database. This is a meaningful gap in percentile terms, though the Intel part’s percentile is effectively a placeholder given the absence of data.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty, the analysis must rely on the AMD part’s absolute scores and its nearest-rival comparisons. The Ryzen AI 5 330’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 7840 is its strongest multi-threaded result, while its single-core score of 1812 indicates a capable per-thread performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 3515 reinforces that. The multi-thread to single-thread ratio in PassMark is roughly 3.6 to 1, which aligns with a 4-core, 8-thread processor. The Cinebench R23 multi-core to single-core ratio is approximately 4.3 to 1, which also reflects the thread count.

The Intel Core i5-14501E, with 6 cores and 12 threads, would logically present a different scaling pattern, but without scores, no quantitative statement is possible. What the database does show is that the Ryzen AI 5 330’s average benchmark score of 18811 places it within one percent of several established desktop and mobile processors. The Core i5-12400, a 6-core desktop chip, is only 0.7 percent behind the AMD part in average score. That rival comparison is useful because the Core i5-12400 is a known quantity in the database ecosystem, and the Ryzen AI 5 330 edges it out by a razor-thin margin.

The delta values also reveal that the AMD EPYC 7643, a server-class processor, is only 0.6 percent behind the Ryzen AI 5 330. That is a striking result, as it suggests the mobile AMD chip delivers average performance comparable to a high-core-count server part in this particular benchmark aggregate. The EPYC 7773X sits 0.9 percent ahead, but again, the margins are under one percent across the board.

For the Intel Core i5-14501E, the lack of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm its standing. The only available points are its specification sheet and its 50th percentile placeholder. No wins are recorded for either processor in the head-to-head section, and the wins counters are both zero. The data simply does not contain a direct comparison.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 is a measured, active performer within a tight competitive band, while the Intel Core i5-14501E is listed only as a specification sheet with no benchmark evidence. For anyone choosing based strictly on recorded data, the AMD part is the only option with verified scores. Its 73rd percentile ranking and average score of 18811 place it within one percent of several well-known processors, including the Intel Core i5-12400 and the Intel Core i7-1355U. That is a strong positional statement for a mobile 4-core chip.

The Intel Core i5-14501E, by contrast, offers no recorded performance data. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration and higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz suggest a different performance envelope on paper, but the database cannot confirm any advantage. The 50th percentile placeholder is not a measurement, and the empty benchmark array means no comparison is possible.

From the available data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 should be selected when a verified performance profile is required. It delivers a documented multi-thread score of 12797 in PassMark and 7840 in Cinebench R23, with a single-thread score of 3515. These numbers anchor its position in the database. The Intel Core i5-14501E should be selected only when its raw specifications are the deciding factor, such as a higher core count, higher base clock, or higher boost clock, but not when benchmark evidence is needed, because none exists in the database.

The AMD part also carries a 73rd percentile ranking, which places it above the median and into the upper quartile of all CPUs. The Intel part’s 50th percentile is neutral, but again, it is unverified. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 is the only processor in this comparison with an actual performance footprint.
