AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a complete benchmark imbalance between the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX and the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The AMD processor has 17 benchmark results in the database, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark entries. This means the head-to-head comparison is based entirely on the AMD chip's measured performance and the Intel part's absence of data, not on direct side-by-side test runs.

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59494 and a single-core score of 8399. The Cinebench R20 results show 24987 multi-core and 3527 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 5996 multi-core and 846 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 97th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 101041.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE holds the 50th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 0 due to missing benchmark data. The database contains no Cinebench, PassMark, or any other workload results for this processor. Without recorded scores, the comparison relies on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD EPYC 7513 with an average score of 102244, the AMD EPYC 4585PX with 99324, the AMD EPYC 8324P with 103329, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX with 98504. The Threadripper PRO 9955WX sits 1.2% below the EPYC 7513, 1.7% above the EPYC 4585PX, 2.2% below the EPYC 8324P, and 2.6% above the Threadripper PRO 5965WX. These deltas indicate the 9955WX operates within a tight performance band relative to these server-class parts, slightly behind two EPYC processors and slightly ahead of two others.

PassMark results for the AMD chip show a multi-thread score of 67035, a single-thread score of 4530, integer math at 236120, floating point math at 156215, extended instructions at 76363, data compression at 920954, data encryption at 44389, find prime numbers at 337, random string sorting at 99813, and physics at 4156. The database records both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread fields with identical values of 4530, confirming consistency in the single-threaded measurement.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX is the only processor in this comparison with measured performance. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark records, so no direct performance verdict can be derived from the database for that part. The AMD chip's 97th percentile standing among all CPUs, combined with its average benchmark score of 101041, confirms it as a high-performance desktop processor.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile, but this percentile is computed without any benchmark scores, making it a positional placeholder rather than a performance measurement. The database shows no wins for either processor in head-to-head benchmarks, and the win counts for both are zero. This reflects the absence of paired test data rather than parity in performance.

The AMD processor's nearest rival comparisons show it within a narrow range of four server-class EPYC and Threadripper PRO processors. The largest positive delta is 2.6% over the Threadripper PRO 5965WX, and the largest negative delta is 2.2% below the EPYC 8324P. This places the 9955WX in a competitive position against established workstation and server parts from its own ecosystem.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX wins in every category where the database has measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 59494 and PassMark multi-thread score of 67035 indicate strong parallel workload performance. The PassMark integer math score of 236120 and floating point math score of 156215 show balanced arithmetic throughput. Data compression at 920954 and data encryption at 44389 demonstrate specialized workload capability.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins no measured categories because the database contains no benchmark results for it. The processor's specifications suggest a different usage profile: 6 cores and 12 threads, a base clock of 2.20 GHz, a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and a 45 W TDP. It includes integrated UHD Graphics 770, which the AMD part lacks, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the AMD chip supports only DDR5.

The AMD part uses 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. The AMD processor has eight-channel memory support with 409.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel processor has dual-channel memory support with no recorded bandwidth figure. The AMD chip's 16 cores and 32 threads double the Intel part's 6 cores and 12 threads on paper, but without Intel benchmark data, the actual performance comparison remains unmeasured.
