Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data shows a clear pattern: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has substantial wins in nearly every measured workload, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores at all. The AMD processor's benchmark results span multiple generations of Cinebench tests and a full suite of PassMark workloads, giving it an average benchmark score of 25,880. The Intel part's average score is listed as zero, meaning its performance cannot be compared directly from the database.

In the absence of Intel benchmark data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE wins all head-to-head comparisons by default. The AMD chip also holds a 78th percentile ranking among all CPUs, whereas the Intel processor sits at the 50th percentile. The database records zero wins for the Intel part and zero wins for the AMD part in the head-to-head section, but this reflects the absence of paired test results rather than a performance equivalence.

For users seeking a processor with verified performance data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only option in this pairing with measurable results. The Intel Core i5-14401TE offers no recorded scores, so its performance characteristics remain undocumented in this database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, part of the Ryzen 5 generation. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series. These are fundamentally different microarchitectures, with Zen 3 representing AMD's third-generation chiplet design and Raptor Lake being Intel's hybrid-performance architecture.

The process technology differs significantly. AMD uses a 7 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. The transistor count for the AMD chip is recorded at 10,700 million, while the Intel part's transistor count is not listed. The die sizes are 180 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel, meaning the Intel die is physically larger despite using a less advanced process node.

Cache hierarchies diverge as well. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, a much larger 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip's larger per-core L2 cache could benefit certain workloads, but without benchmark data, this advantage cannot be quantified.

Memory support differs. AMD supports only DDR4, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while the Intel part's bandwidth is not recorded. Both use dual-channel memory buses.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This is a significant architectural advantage for Intel in terms of raw I/O bandwidth potential.

Specification Differences

The base clocks differ substantially. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE runs at 3.40 GHz base, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE runs at 2.00 GHz base. The boost clocks are closer: 4.40 GHz for AMD and 4.50 GHz for Intel.

Thermal design power differs. The AMD part has a 65 W TDP, while the Intel part has a 45 W TDP. This means the Intel processor is rated for lower power consumption, potentially easing cooling requirements.

The process nodes are different: 7 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. The foundry differs as well: TSMC for AMD, Intel for Intel. Transistor counts are 10,700 million for AMD and not recorded for Intel. Die sizes are 180 mm² for AMD and 215 mm² for Intel.

Cache configurations differ. AMD uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. Intel uses 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB L3. The Intel L3 is shared, as is the AMD L3.

Memory support differs as noted: DDR4 only for AMD, DDR4 and DDR5 for Intel. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD and not recorded for Intel. PCIe generation differs: Gen 3 for AMD, Gen 5 for Intel.

Integrated graphics differ: Radeon Vega 7 for AMD, UHD Graphics 730 for Intel. Sockets differ: AM4 for AMD, Socket 1700 for Intel. Release dates differ: the AMD part was released on 2024-05-06, while the Intel part was released on 2024-06-30.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no paired head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has a comprehensive set of recorded scores, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries at all. This makes a direct comparison impossible in the traditional sense, but the AMD scores can be examined against the broader CPU landscape.

In Cinebench R15, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 1,562 in multicore and 220 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 6,511 multicore and 918 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15,504 multicore and 2,188 single-core. These scores place the AMD chip at the 78th percentile among all CPUs.

The PassMark results for the AMD part show strong performance across many workload types. Data compression scores 228,037, data encryption scores 14,509, and extended instructions score 15,714. Floating point math scores 38,204, integer math scores 67,582, and multithread scores 18,057. Physics scores 648, random string sorting scores 23,769, and single-thread scores 3,240. The find prime numbers test scores 49.

In the nearest rivals data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has an average benchmark score of 25,880. This is 0.3% higher than the Intel Core i7-11700K, which averages 25,812, and 0.4% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 230, which averages 25,782. It is 0.4% lower than the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 25,981 and 0.5% lower than the Intel Core i7-14701TE at 26,013. These narrow deltas indicate the AMD part operates in a tightly competitive performance band.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores and an average score of zero. Its nearest rivals list is empty, meaning the database cannot place its performance relative to other processors. The 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits at the median of all CPUs, but without actual scores, this ranking may reflect incomplete data rather than measured performance.

The Verdict

The data shows that the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance metrics. Its 78th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 25,880 indicate it performs competitively against a range of CPUs, including the Intel Core i7-11700K and the Intel Core i7-14701TE, with deltas under 1% in both directions.

Users who require documented performance data should select the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE. Its benchmark results cover both synthetic rendering tests and a broad set of computational workloads, providing a clear picture of its capabilities. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded scores, making any performance assessment impossible from the database.

The Intel part does offer distinct architectural advantages that are recorded: a 45 W TDP versus 65 W for AMD, PCIe Gen 5 versus Gen 3, and DDR5 memory support versus DDR4 only. These are meaningful specification differences for system builders. However, without benchmark data, the practical impact of these differences on real-world performance cannot be quantified.

From a pure data perspective, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only choice with measurable performance. Users prioritizing lower power consumption, newer memory standards, or newer PCIe connectivity may find the Intel Core i5-14401TE appealing based on its specifications, but the database offers no evidence of its actual performance. The AMD part's verified scores across Cinebench and PassMark workloads make it the data-backed recommendation for any workload covered by these tests.
