Analysis: AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE vs Intel Core i7-14701E
The recorded benchmark data places the Intel Core i7-14701E decisively ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE. In the 17 head-to-head comparisons stored in the database, the Intel processor wins all 17, with margins from 2.4% in PassMark data encryption to 73% in PassMark physics. The Intel part also holds the higher average score, 33206 against 25880, and the higher CPU percentile, 83rd against 78th.
The Verdict
The verdict from the database is unambiguous: the Intel Core i7-14701E is the stronger processor in every recorded workload. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, 5.40 GHz boost clock, and 33 MB shared L3 cache give it advantages that show up across Cinebench and PassMark suites. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE, with 6 cores and 12 threads, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, and 16 MB L3, does not take a single head-to-head win. For a system that must maximize measured performance, the Intel part is the one the data supports. The AMD part remains a viable choice only if the platform requirement is AMD Socket AM4, since its benchmark profile is consistently behind.
In the broader database, the AMD part's average score of 25880 places it within a tight cluster: the Intel Core i7-11700K averages 25812 with a 0.3% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 230 averages 25782 with a 0.4% delta, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 averages 25981 with a -0.4% delta, and the Intel Core i7-14701TE averages 26013 with a -0.5% delta. The Intel part's average score of 33206 sits alongside the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H at 33201 with a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS at 33244 with a -0.1% delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX at 33091 with a 0.3% delta, and the Intel Core i7-13650HX at 33089 with a 0.4% delta. These groupings confirm that the AMD part competes in a lower performance band, while the Intel part sits in a higher one.
Where Each One Wins
Because the AMD part has zero wins in the head-to-head set, there is no recorded workload category where it leads. The Intel part wins all 17 comparisons. The closest AMD result is PassMark data encryption, where it scores 14509 against 14862, a deficit of only 2.4%. Every other margin is larger. The Intel part's biggest advantages appear in PassMark physics (648 against 2399, 73% ahead), PassMark find prime numbers (49 against 176, 72.2% ahead), and PassMark floating point math (38204 against 61873, 38.3% ahead). In Cinebench tests, the Intel part is consistently about 30% ahead in both multi-core and single-core runs. The use-case split is therefore not a matter of workload type: the data gives Intel the win in rendering, math, encryption, compression, sorting, and single-threaded tasks alike.
Architecture Differences
The two chips come from different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-14701E uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 257 mm² die; the database records no transistor count for the Intel part. The AMD processor has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel processor has 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache layouts also differ: AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3, while Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with a recorded bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, with no memory bandwidth figure recorded. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes; the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 7 on the AMD side and UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel side. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM4, and the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The Intel Core i7-14701E wins every recorded head-to-head benchmark, but the size of the margin varies by workload. The largest Intel advantage is in PassMark physics: 2399 against 648, a 73% lead. PassMark find prime numbers follows at 176 against 49, a 72.2% lead. In PassMark floating point math, the Intel part scores 61873 against 38204, 38.3% ahead. The Cinebench results form a tight cluster: R15 multi-core is 2237 against 1562, R15 single-core is 315 against 220, R20 multi-core is 9321 against 6511, R20 single-core is 1315 against 918, R23 multi-core is 22195 against 15504, and R23 single-core is 3133 against 2188. All six Cinebench deltas fall between 30.1% and 30.2%. In PassMark multithread, the Intel part scores 26112 against 18057, a 30.8% lead. PassMark single-thread shows 4305 against 3240, a 24.7% lead. The Intel part leads integer math by 16.9% (81325 against 67582), extended instructions by 15.2% (18528 against 15714), random string sorting by 18.5% (29158 against 23769), and data compression by 19.4% (282939 against 228037). The narrowest margin is data encryption: 14862 against 14509, a 2.4% lead for Intel. The Cinebench cluster is remarkably consistent, while the PassMark suite shows a wider spread, from 2.4% in encryption to 73% in physics. This indicates the Intel advantage is largest in workloads that stress physics simulation and prime-number finding.
