A: The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G integrates Radeon Vega 6 graphics. The Intel Core i5-14401E integrates UHD Graphics 730. Both are integrated graphics units, but the database does not include comparative graphics benchmark scores for either.

Q: Which processor uses a more advanced manufacturing process?

A: The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors and a die size of 180 mm². The Intel Core i5-14401E uses a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm²; its transistor count is not recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits the two processors into distinct performance profiles. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G delivers the higher average benchmark score by a large margin (27,382 vs 5,253), and its percentile ranking (79 vs 60) places it well above the Intel part in the overall distribution. The AMD chip's strongest recorded results are in PassMark workloads: integer math at 45,910, floating point math at 25,245, extended instructions at 11,935, and data encryption at 10,288. It also records 168,041 in data compression and 18,819 in random string sorting.

The Intel Core i5-14401E wins in the Cinebench suite, which is not present for the AMD part. Its multi-core scores are 1,830 (Cinebench R15), 7,627 (Cinebench R20), and 18,161 (Cinebench R23). Single-core Cinebench scores are 258 (R15), 1,076 (R20), and 2,564 (R23). The AMD part has no Cinebench results in the database, so direct comparison on those workloads is not possible.

For workloads that appear in both processors' benchmark lists, the AMD part is the clear winner. The Intel part has no PassMark scores recorded, so the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G dominates in PassMark integer, floating point, encryption, compression, sorting, and single-thread tests. The Intel part's advantage is confined to the Cinebench rendering workloads, where the AMD part has no recorded data.

The core and thread count disparity suggests the Intel part could handle more concurrent threads in multithreaded applications, but the recorded benchmark data does not include a direct multithread PassMark score for the Intel chip. The AMD part records a PassMark multithread score of 14,033 and a physics score of 701. Without comparable Intel scores, the database shows the AMD chip winning every shared benchmark category.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, part of the 5000 series. It is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a 215 mm² die and no transistor count recorded.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's L3 cache is 12 MB larger, and its per-core L2 cache is more than double.

Memory support diverges. The AMD part supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel bus and no recorded bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe lanes differ by generation. The AMD chip provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel chip provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Intel part a two-generation advantage in PCIe bandwidth.

Socket platforms are incompatible. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. Both are desktop market segments, both are currently active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in core count (4 vs 6), thread count (8 vs 12), base clock (4.00 GHz vs 2.50 GHz), and boost clock (4.20 GHz vs 4.70 GHz). The TDP is identical at 65 watts for both. The AMD part has a higher base clock by 1.50 GHz, while the Intel part has a higher boost clock by 0.50 GHz.

Process node differs: 7 nm (TSMC) for AMD versus 10 nm (Intel) for Intel. Die size differs: 180 mm² for AMD versus 215 mm² for Intel. Transistor count is recorded only for AMD (10,700 million); Intel's transistor count is not in the database.

Cache specifications differ across all levels. The Intel part has larger L1 per core (80 KB vs 64 KB), larger L2 per core (1.25 MB vs 512 KB), and larger L3 (20 MB shared vs 8 MB). Memory support differs: DDR4 only for AMD versus DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for AMD (51.2 GB/s). PCIe generation differs: Gen 3 for AMD versus Gen 5 for Intel, both with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: Radeon Vega 6 for AMD versus UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. Release dates differ: the AMD part was released on 2024-09-04, while the Intel part was released on 2024-06-30. Part numbers are 100-000001749 for AMD and Q49JSRNJS for Intel. Neither has a launch MSRP recorded.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. Instead, each has its own recorded benchmark suite, and the two suites do not overlap. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G has PassMark workloads only, while the Intel Core i5-14401E has Cinebench workloads only.

For the AMD part, the strongest recorded scores are: data compression at 168,041, integer math at 45,910, floating point math at 25,245, random string sorting at 18,819, multithread at 14,033, extended instructions at 11,935, data encryption at 10,288, single-thread at 3,096, physics at 701, and find prime numbers at 36. Its average benchmark score is 27,382, with a percentile of 79.

For the Intel part, the recorded scores are: Cinebench R23 multi-core at 18,161, Cinebench R20 multi-core at 7,627, Cinebench R15 multi-core at 1,830, Cinebench R23 single-core at 2,564, Cinebench R20 single-core at 1,076, and Cinebench R15 single-core at 258. Its average benchmark score is 5,253, with a percentile of 60.

The average benchmark score gap is substantial: the AMD part scores 22,129 points higher on average. In percentile terms, the AMD part sits 19 percentage points higher. The nearest rival data reinforces the split: the AMD part competes with high-end desktop and mobile chips like the Intel Core i7-13700H (0.1% higher score) and AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.6% lower score). The Intel part competes with older server and desktop parts like the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 (0.1% higher) and Intel Core i5-13400T (0.8% lower).

The lack of overlapping benchmark tests means the database cannot directly compare the two on the same workload. The AMD part's PassMark results show strong integer and floating point throughput, while the Intel part's Cinebench results show strong multi-core rendering capability. The recorded data indicates that the AMD chip holds the higher overall standing, while the Intel chip offers more cores, threads, and cache, plus a higher boost clock and newer PCIe generation.
