AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded PassMark results show a decisive overall advantage for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, which wins 9 of the 11 head-to-head comparisons. The most lopsided result comes in data encryption, where the AMD part scores 19,450 against Intel's 11,699, a 66.3% advantage. Extended instruction workloads also favor AMD heavily: 20,487 versus 14,354, a 42.7% gap. Random string sorting shows a 44% lead for AMD (32,771 vs. 22,760), and integer math delivers a 37.2% edge (90,270 vs. 65,792). Data compression follows with a 34.1% win (295,730 vs. 220,520). Single-thread performance, measured by PassMark single thread, goes to AMD at 3,366 versus 2,637, a 27.6% margin. Multithread throughput also favors AMD, with a 19% lead (23,858 vs. 20,042). Even floating-point math, the closest contest, goes AMD's way by 1.1% (50,778 vs. 50,219).

The Intel Core i7-14701TE takes the remaining two tests, and both are substantial. Prime number finding shows Intel at 143 versus AMD's 58, meaning AMD trails by 59.4%. Physics simulation also goes to Intel by a wide margin: 1,860 versus 1,022, a 45.1% deficit for AMD. These two wins reveal a pattern: Intel's architecture handles certain integer-heavy, branch-heavy workloads with notably higher efficiency, even though its overall average benchmark score is far lower.

Looking at average benchmark scores, AMD's 49,196 places it at the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Intel's 26,013 sits at the 78th percentile. The nearest rivals for AMD include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (49,228, a 0.1% difference) and the Intel Core i5-14600KF (49,394, a 0.4% difference). Intel's closest competitors are the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (25,981, a 0.1% gap) and the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS (26,106, a 0.4% gap). This places the two processors in very different performance tiers, despite sharing the same core and thread count.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G dominates nearly every general-purpose workload category in the PassMark suite. Data compression, encryption, extended instructions, integer math, multithread, random string sorting, single-thread, and floating-point math all favor AMD. For users running everyday applications, content creation tools, or databases that rely on compression and encryption, the data shows AMD delivering between 19% and 66% higher throughput. The single-thread lead of 27.6% is particularly relevant for older software that does not scale across many cores, since the AMD part also matches the Intel part on core count at 8 cores and 16 threads.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in prime number finding and physics simulation. Prime number search is a classic single-threaded, branch-prediction-heavy workload, and Intel's 143 versus AMD's 58 is a massive 2.5x advantage. Physics simulation, which often uses rigid body dynamics and collision detection, also responds well to Intel's design, with 1,860 versus 1,022. These are not niche academic tests; they map to real workloads in scientific computing, cryptography, and physics-based rendering. However, the broader benchmark picture shows that these two wins do not compensate for AMD's nine wins, especially when the margins on Intel's wins (59.4% and 45.1%) are compared to AMD's largest wins (66.3% and 44%).

The average benchmark score difference is stark: 49,196 versus 26,013, a gap of roughly 89%. This means that for the average mixed workload, AMD is nearly twice as fast. Intel's wins are real but narrow in scope. A user whose primary applications are physics simulation and prime number sieving would see clear benefits from Intel. Anyone running a general mix of productivity, media, and data tasks would favor AMD based on the recorded data.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G uses the Zen 3 architecture on the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 180 mm² and contains 10,700 million transistors. Intel's Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake (Raptor Lake-R, a refresh), fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process, with a die size of 257 mm². The process node difference is significant: AMD's 7 nm from TSMC versus Intel's 10 nm. The smaller process typically allows higher transistor density and better power efficiency, which aligns with AMD's lower die size despite having the same core count.

Cache layouts differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. Intel's larger L2 and L3 caches likely explain its strong showing in physics and prime number workloads, which often benefit from larger working sets that fit in cache. AMD's smaller cache is offset by higher clock speeds and a more efficient core design.

Memory support also diverges. AMD supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Intel also supports ECC memory, while AMD does not. This makes Intel the only option for systems that require ECC, such as small servers or workstations where data integrity is critical.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. AMD provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe standard on Intel allows significantly higher bandwidth to GPUs and NVMe storage, a meaningful advantage for systems using high-end add-in cards. However, the CPU's integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, Intel uses UHD Graphics 770.

Specification Differences

Both processors have 8 cores and 16 threads, so the core and thread counts are identical. The base clock differs: AMD runs at 3.80 GHz, Intel at 2.10 GHz. The boost clock also differs: AMD reaches 4.60 GHz, Intel reaches 5.20 GHz. Intel has a higher maximum clock, but AMD's base clock is substantially higher, which explains why AMD wins single-thread PassMark by 27.6% despite Intel's higher boost.

Thermal design power favors Intel: 45 watts versus 65 watts. Intel's lower TDP is notable given its larger die and higher boost clock, though the recorded benchmark scores show Intel trading power efficiency for lower average performance. Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses AMD Socket AM4, Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. Production status for both is Active. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. AMD's release date is 2024-09-04; Intel's is 2024-06-30. AMD's part number is 100-000001748, Intel's is Q49GSRNJL. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP.

The process node is 7 nm for AMD and 10 nm for Intel. Transistor count is recorded only for AMD at 10,700 million. Die size is 180 mm² for AMD and 257 mm² for Intel. Intel's L1 cache is 80 KB per core versus AMD's 64 KB, Intel's L2 is 2 MB per core versus AMD's 512 KB, and Intel's L3 is 33 MB shared versus AMD's 16 MB. Memory support: AMD DDR4 only, Intel DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD, not recorded for Intel. ECC: AMD false, Intel true. PCIe: AMD Gen 3 16 lanes, Intel Gen 5 16 lanes. Integrated graphics: AMD Radeon Vega 8, Intel UHD Graphics 770. Market segment for both is Desktop.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G as the faster processor for the vast majority of workloads. Its average benchmark score of 49,196 versus Intel's 26,013 puts it at the 90th percentile of all CPUs, while Intel sits at the 78th percentile. AMD wins 9 of 11 head-to-head tests, including all the major categories like single-thread, multithread, integer math, and data compression. The only areas where Intel leads are prime number finding and physics simulation, both of which are specific enough that they will only matter for users running those exact applications.

Users who need ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, or DDR5 memory support should choose the Intel Core i7-14701TE. Its 45 watt TDP also makes it the lower-power option, and its larger L3 cache (33 MB vs. 16 MB) likely explains its physics and prime number wins. For a general-purpose desktop or workstation CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G delivers higher throughput in encryption by 66.3%, compression by 34.1%, and single-thread performance by 27.6%. The data is unambiguous: AMD wins the overall performance crown, while Intel holds specific niches tied to cache-sensitive and ECC-capable workloads.
