AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and Intel Core i5-14501TE target different segments with distinct strengths. The AMD processor, built on Zen 5 architecture, delivers significantly higher single-thread performance and efficiency, evidenced by its 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel part, a Raptor Lake Refresh desktop chip, sits at the 50th percentile and offers no benchmark data in the database, making direct performance comparisons impossible beyond the AMD's recorded scores. For workloads where the database has measurements, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is the clear performer; the Intel Core i5-14501TE lacks recorded results, so its placement in the database is based on specifications alone. The AMD part suits mobile platforms with its 28-watt TDP and integrated Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel part is a desktop processor with a 45-watt TDP and UHD Graphics 770. The data supports choosing the AMD for measured performance and the Intel for desktop-specific requirements like ECC memory support and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 uses a 4 nm process node fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 195 mm². Its architecture is Zen 5, codenamed Krackan Point, belonging to the Ryzen AI 300 generation that specifies Zen 5 / Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses a 10 nm process node from Intel's own foundry, with a larger die size of 215 mm². Its architecture is Raptor Lake, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, belonging to the Core i5 generation of the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup.

Both processors feature 6 cores and 12 threads, but the cache hierarchies diverge. The AMD part has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and a substantially larger 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel design provides more total cache, which in general workloads can reduce memory latency, but the database does not include benchmark results for the Intel processor to confirm any advantage here.

Memory support differs: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i5-14501TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. ECC memory support is present on the Intel part, while the AMD part does not support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also diverges: the AMD processor offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel processor offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), giving the Intel part a generational advantage in available bandwidth for compatible devices.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 uses Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but no graphics benchmark data is present in the database for either processor. The market segments confirm their positioning: the AMD part is designated as Mobile, using AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part is Desktop, using Intel Socket 1700. The Intel processor has a higher base clock of 2.20 GHz and a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz, compared to the AMD's 2.00 GHz base and 4.80 GHz boost. The AMD part has a lower TDP of 28 watts versus the Intel's 45 watts, which aligns with its mobile orientation.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The Intel part has an empty benchmark array, meaning no recorded scores exist for any test. The AMD part, however, has a full set of benchmark results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests. Without direct comparison data, the analysis relies on the AMD's absolute scores and its percentile ranking relative to the broader CPU population.

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 scores 1915 in Cinebench R15 multicore and 242.6 in Cinebench R15 singlecore. In Cinebench R23, it records 12532 multicore and 1915.5 singlecore. Geekbench results show 9165 multicore and 2140 singlecore. Passmark tests include a multithread score of 19506 and a single-thread score of 3683. Additional Passmark subtests reveal specific strengths: floating point math at 39967, integer math at 63078, data compression at 229796, data encryption at 11470, extended instructions at 16440, find prime numbers at 72, physics at 1095, and random string sorting at 24970.

The AMD's average benchmark score is 25981, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 78, which means it outperforms 78 percent of the processors in the database. Its nearest rivals provide context: the Intel Core i7-14701TE has an average score of 26013, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the AMD, indicating near parity. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25880, a 0.4 percent delta, meaning the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is 0.4 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26106, a -0.5 percent delta, so the Ryzen AI 5 340 trails that part by half a percent. The Intel Core i7-11700K scores 25812, a 0.7 percent delta, with the AMD ahead by 0.7 percent. These deltas show the Ryzen AI 5 340 sits within a tight performance band around its nearest rivals, all within roughly one percent of its average score.

Since the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmarks, no wins can be assigned in either direction. The wins counters in the database are both zero, confirming the absence of direct comparison data. The Intel processor's 50th percentile ranking places it below the AMD's 78th percentile, but this ranking is based on unspecified data, not the empty benchmark array.
