AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database shows a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile. The AMD part delivers 10 cores and 20 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads on the Intel side, which explains the massive divide in multi-threaded workloads.

The Ryzen AI 9 365 is the pick for anyone running heavily threaded productivity tasks, content creation, or software development workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18,698 points dwarfs what a 6-core, 12-thread desktop part can typically manage, and its Geekbench multicore result of 13,760 reinforces that position. The Intel Core i5-14501TE, with no recorded benchmark scores in the database, cannot be directly compared numerically, but its core count alone places it in a lower performance tier.

The Intel part, however, targets a different use case: desktop systems with ECC memory support and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. The database shows the i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, a feature the AMD mobile part lacks since it only supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The Intel chip also carries a higher 45 W TDP compared to 28 W on the AMD, indicating it is designed for sustained desktop operation rather than mobile efficiency.

Pick the Ryzen AI 9 365 for raw multi-core muscle and single-core speed in a power-efficient mobile package. Pick the Intel Core i5-14501TE for a desktop platform with ECC memory, broader memory compatibility, and PCIe Gen 5 lanes.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. AMD uses Zen 5 cores on a 4 nm TSMC process, built on the Strix Point die measuring 233 mm². The Intel part uses Raptor Lake cores on a 10 nm Intel process, with a die size of 215 mm². Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but the L2 configuration differs: AMD gives 1 MB per core while Intel provides 1.25 MB per core. The L3 cache tells a different story, with Intel offering 24 MB shared versus 16 MB on the AMD part.

The Ryzen AI 9 365 uses a hybrid Zen 5 / Zen 5c arrangement within the Ryzen AI 300 generation. This allows 10 cores and 20 threads in a 28 W package. The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a Raptor Lake Refresh desktop part with 6 cores and 12 threads at a 45 W TDP. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700, making them incompatible with each other's motherboards.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part carries Radeon 880M graphics, while the Intel part has UHD Graphics 770. Both support dual-channel memory, but AMD's memory bandwidth is rated at 89.6 GB/s, a figure not recorded for the Intel part. PCIe support also differs: the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 16 lanes. ECC memory support is present on the Intel part but absent on the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. The Ryzen AI 9 365 has a full set of recorded scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores at all, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0.

What the data does show is where the AMD part stands against its nearest rivals. The Ryzen AI 9 365's average benchmark score of 40,048 places it within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, which scores 40,081. It trails the Intel Core 5 221E by 0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 270 by 0.5%, and the Intel Core i9-13905H by 0.7%. These deltas are all under 1%, meaning the Ryzen AI 9 365 performs essentially on par with a range of desktop and mobile processors from both AMD and Intel.

In single-core performance, the Cinebench R23 result of 1,992 and Geekbench single-core score of 2,253 indicate strong per-core efficiency from the Zen 5 architecture. The Passmark single-thread score of 3,841 confirms this. Multi-core results are even more impressive: Cinebench R15 multicore hits 2,842, Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 18,698, and Geekbench multicore lands at 13,760. Passmark multithread score is 29,467.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE cannot be evaluated numerically because the database lacks any scores for it. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, however, suggest it would land well below the AMD part in multi-threaded tests, given that the Ryzen AI 9 365 has 67% more cores and 67% more threads.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins on platform features. It offers ECC memory support, which the AMD part lacks. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5, giving builders memory flexibility. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, double the bandwidth standard of the AMD part's PCIe Gen 4. Its 45 W TDP and desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) suit it for always-on desktop systems, whereas the AMD part's 28 W TDP and mobile socket (AMD Socket FP8) target portable systems.

The AMD part also wins on process technology, using a 4 nm TSMC node versus Intel's 10 nm node. It has a larger L3 cache per core ratio, though Intel has more total L3 at 24 MB versus 16 MB. The AMD part's integrated Radeon 880M graphics likely outperforms Intel's UHD Graphics 770 in iGPU workloads, though the database does not record graphics benchmarks.
