AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and Intel Core i5-14401TE occupy different positions in the performance spectrum. The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U holds a clear advantage in the database's recorded measurements, with the AMD part reaching the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. The Core i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile. The Ryzen processor is a mobile part built for sustained output across productivity tasks, while the Intel chip is a desktop processor with a lower performance ceiling in the recorded data.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U wins in every category where comparable measurements exist. It uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Core i5-14401TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads. That core and thread difference shows up across Cinebench multi-core runs. The Ryzen chip reaches 20254 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The Intel part has no recorded Cinebench scores in the database, so the comparison relies on the AMD side's complete benchmark set and the Intel side's architectural specifications.

The passmark suite gives the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U a multithread score of 23850 and a single-thread score of 3641. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no passmark scores recorded, meaning the data cannot support a direct delta between the two. What the data does show is that the Ryzen part achieves an average benchmark score of 32233 across all recorded tests, placing it within a fraction of a percent of several Intel desktop processors. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-11900, averages 32226 with a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core i5-14400F averages 32279 at -0.1 percent, and the Intel Core i7-12800H averages 32121 at 0.3 percent. The Core i5-14400 sits at 32115 with a 0.4 percent delta.

The AMD part wins on raw compute in every recorded test. The data shows the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U delivers 272664 in passmark data compression, 16441 in data encryption, 19132 in extended instructions, 88339 in integer math, and 50746 in floating point math. The single-thread passmark score of 3641 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2859 indicate that the AMD part also holds a strong single-core position, though the Intel chip's absence from the benchmark set prevents a direct comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD part belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation, while the Intel part belongs to Core 14th Gen and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The AMD chip packs 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel chip has no recorded transistor count, but the die measures 215 mm². The AMD die is smaller while integrating more transistors, a direct result of the denser 4 nm process.

Cache layouts differ in size and organization. The AMD part uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip therefore has more cache per core and more shared L3, which helps offset its lower core count in some workloads.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both parts support ECC memory.

The integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U carries a Radeon 780M, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE carries UHD Graphics 730. The database does not record graphics benchmark scores for either part, so the comparison stops at the specification level.

Platform support differs as well. The AMD chip uses AMD Socket FP7 and PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700 and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part therefore offers a newer PCIe generation but fewer CPU-attached lanes.

Production status and release timing also differ. The AMD part released on 2024-04-15 and remains active. The Intel part released on 2024-06-30 and also remains active. The AMD part is a mobile segment processor, while the Intel part is a desktop segment processor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The Intel part has an empty benchmark array and an average benchmark score of 0, while the AMD part has a full set of recorded scores. The comparison therefore rests on the AMD chip's absolute performance and its position among nearest rivals, all of which are Intel parts.

The Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U records an average benchmark score of 32233. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-11900, averages 32226 with a 0 percent delta. The Intel Core i5-14400F averages 32279, which is -0.1 percent relative to the AMD part. The Intel Core i7-12800H averages 32121 at 0.3 percent, and the Intel Core i5-14400 averages 32115 at 0.4 percent. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U performs on par with those Intel desktop and mobile parts despite being a 28 W mobile chip.

In Cinebench R23, the AMD part scores 20254 multi-core and 2859 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8506 multi-core and 1200 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2041 multi-core and 288 single-core. The scaling from R15 to R23 reflects the expected workload intensity progression, and the single-core scores stay proportionally consistent across versions.

The passmark results show strong performance in both integer and floating point work. Integer math scores 88339, floating point math scores 50746, and extended instructions scores 19132. Data compression scores 272664, data encryption scores 16441, and random string sorting scores 33109. The physics test scores 1174, and the find prime numbers test scores 76. The multithread test scores 23850, and the single-thread test scores 3641.

The percentile placement reinforces the performance position. The AMD part sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms most recorded processors. The Intel Core i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile, which places it at the median of the database. The gap in percentile ranking is substantial, and it aligns with the core count, thread count, clock speed, and process node advantages held by the AMD part.

The Verdict

The data points to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U as the stronger processor in recorded performance. It delivers 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, a 4 nm process, and an average benchmark score of 32233. The Intel Core i5-14401TE offers 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, a 10 nm process, and no recorded benchmark scores. The AMD part also achieves the 83rd percentile, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile.

The AMD chip's nearest rivals are all Intel parts with average scores in the 32115 to 32279 range, and the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U matches or slightly exceeds all of them. That places the AMD chip in the same performance class as Intel desktop processors like the Core i5-14400 and Core i9-11900, despite being a 28 W mobile part. The Intel Core i5-14401TE cannot be placed in that same class based on the recorded data.

The Intel part does have advantages in specific areas. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offers more cache per core, has a larger L3 cache at 20 MB, and provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. It also uses a desktop socket, Intel Socket 1700, which may matter for platform choice. But none of those advantages translate into recorded benchmark wins, because the Intel part has no benchmark entries.

For workloads that depend on multi-threaded compute, Cinebench scores, and passmark integer and floating point performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is the clear pick from the data. For workloads that depend on DDR4 compatibility, larger cache, or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel Core i5-14401TE offers those features, but the database contains no performance evidence to support choosing it on speed grounds. The measured data favors the AMD chip decisively.
