AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U enters the database with a substantial set of recorded measurements, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE currently has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry defines the entire comparison: all numerical analysis must come from the AMD side, with the Intel part serving as a specification and architecture counterpoint.

The Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U posts a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 19982 points and a single-core score of 2821 points. Its Cinebench R20 results show 8392 points multi-core and 1184 points single-core, while Cinebench R15 records 2014 points multi-core and 284 points single-core. These scores place the chip at the 81st percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 30254.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for this average. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X sits 0.1% behind with an average score of 30213, essentially a statistical tie. The AMD Ryzen 7 7736U trails by 0.4% at 30364, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS also trails by 0.4% at 30390. The Intel Core i9-11980HK sits 0.6% behind at 30422. These results indicate the Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U delivers performance squarely within the upper-midrange of the database, competitive with older eight-core desktop parts and newer high-end mobile chips.

Looking at the PassMark suite, the Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U shows distinct strengths. The multithread score of 22795 and single-thread score of 3732 both contribute to an average that rivals desktop parts from previous generations. Integer math scores 74875, floating point math scores 45265, and extended instructions score 19130. Data compression reaches 260925, while data encryption records 15843. The find prime numbers test scores 78, random string sorting scores 32114, and physics scores 1154.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile ranking sits at 50, but this value carries no comparative weight without underlying measurements. The database simply has no performance data for this processor at this time.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but qualified conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U is the only one of the two with measurable performance in the database. Its 81st percentile ranking, backed by a full Cinebench and PassMark suite, demonstrates a capable six-core, twelve-thread mobile processor that trades blows with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X within 0.1% and sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core i9-11980HK.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE cannot be assessed on performance grounds because no benchmark data exists for it. The database records no scores, no average, and no rivals. Any claim about its actual speed would be speculation, which the recorded data does not support.

For users choosing strictly from the available measurements, the Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U is the documented performer. It delivers a full set of scores across rendering and synthetic workloads, and its nearest-rival deltas confirm it holds its own against established desktop and mobile parts. The Intel part remains an unknown quantity in the database, so no performance-based preference can be assigned to it.

The specification sheets do tell a story that favors the Intel part in certain structural areas. The Core i5-14501TE boosts to 5.10 GHz versus 4.90 GHz for the AMD chip, and it carries a larger 24 MB shared L3 cache versus 16 MB. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the Ryzen part supports DDR5 only. These differences matter for platform flexibility, but without benchmark scores, they cannot be translated into performance predictions.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every physical and platform attribute. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part belongs to the 8000 series with a mobile market segment, whereas the Intel part is Core 14th Gen with a desktop market segment.

Clock speeds differ notably. The AMD chip has a 3.50 GHz base clock and a 4.90 GHz boost clock. The Intel chip has a 2.20 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz boost clock. The Intel part reaches a higher boost frequency, but its base clock sits 1.30 GHz lower than the AMD part's.

TDP values also diverge. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U draws 28 watts, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE draws 45 watts. The AMD part's lower TDP aligns with its mobile positioning.

Memory support differs in scope. The AMD part supports DDR5 with dual-channel operation and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel operation, but the database records no memory bandwidth figure for it.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U carries a Radeon 760M, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE carries UHD Graphics 770.

Both processors are locked, with multiplierUnlocked set to false. Both support ECC memory. Both have active production status. The AMD part released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel part released on 2024-06-30. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide is fundamental. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8640U uses Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 215 mm² die. The database records no transistor count for the Intel part.

Cache layouts differ in capacity and organization. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel part therefore offers more cache at every level.

Both processors use six cores and twelve threads, so the core-count and thread-count parity means architecture efficiency, clock behavior, and memory subsystem design determine any performance gap. The AMD part's smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm) and lower TDP (28 watts versus 45 watts) suggest a more power-efficient design. The Intel part's larger L3 cache and higher boost clock offer structural advantages on paper.

The AMD part belongs to the Zen 4 (Hawk Point) generation, while the Intel part belongs to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The foundries also differ: TSMC for AMD, Intel for Intel. The AMD part's die size of 178 mm² is smaller than the Intel part's 215 mm², despite the AMD chip packing 25,000 million transistors on its smaller die.

The Intel part supports PCIe Gen 5, which is one generation ahead of the AMD part's PCIe Gen 4. However, the AMD part provides 20 lanes versus the Intel part's 16 lanes. Both support dual-channel memory and ECC, but the AMD part records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s while the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure.

The integrated graphics also reflect different design priorities. The AMD Radeon 760M is part of a mobile-focused APU design, while the Intel UHD Graphics 770 serves a desktop platform. Neither part is unlocked for overclocking. The AMD part lists two part numbers (100-000001318 for FP7r2 and 100-000001378 for FP7), while the Intel part lists one part number (Q49KSRNJN).
