Intel Core 3 100HL vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an asymmetric comparison. The Intel Core 3 100HL has a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means any direct performance verdict must be drawn from the Core 3 100HL's measured results and the architectural specifications of the i5-14501TE.

The Core 3 100HL sits at the 76th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 23545. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8540U (23709, 0.7% higher), the Intel Core i5-11500 (23718, 0.7% higher), the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V (23297, 1.1% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (23277, 1.2% lower). The data indicates the Core 3 100HL is competitive with a broad range of established desktop and mobile processors, landing within roughly one percent of all four listed rivals.

For the Core i5-14501TE, the database records no benchmark scores, a 50th percentile placement, and an average benchmark score of zero. Without measured data, the database cannot confirm its performance level relative to the Core 3 100HL. The i5-14501TE does carry structural advantages on paper: it has a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, double the shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 12 MB, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes, and ECC memory support that the Core 3 100HL lacks. Those specifications suggest the i5-14501TE may be positioned for higher-frequency workloads and more robust platform features, but the absence of benchmark data prevents a measured verdict.

The Core 3 100HL is the only one of the two with verified performance numbers. Users who rely on measured database results can confirm its standing. The i5-14501TE remains an unverified entry, so any claims about its speed are speculative until benchmark data is recorded.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Raptor Lake architecture and are built on Intel's 10 nm process node. The Core 3 100HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename and is listed under the Core 3 generation, while the Core i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake Refresh generation label.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Core 3 100HL has 8 cores and 12 threads, while the Core i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus. The Core 3 100HL does not support ECC memory, whereas the Core i5-14501TE does.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Core 3 100HL carries 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14501TE has the same 80 KB L1 per core but a smaller 1.25 MB L2 per core and a larger 24 MB shared L3 cache. The i5-14501TE also has a recorded die size of 215 mm², while the Core 3 100HL has no die size listed in the database.

PCIe support shows a clear generational split. The Core 3 100HL uses PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only), while the Core i5-14501TE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 3 100HL uses Iris Xe Graphics 48EU, and the Core i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770.

Clock speeds favor the i5-14501TE on both ends. The Core 3 100HL runs at a 2.10 GHz base clock and 4.60 GHz boost clock. The Core i5-14501TE runs at a 2.20 GHz base clock and 5.10 GHz boost clock. Both have a 45 W TDP and fit the Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both are listed as Active production status.

Release dates differ by roughly three months. The Core 3 100HL was released on 2024-04-07, and the Core i5-14501TE followed on 2024-06-30. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pair. The Core i5-14501TE has zero recorded scores across all tests, so no direct comparison can be drawn from measured results. The wins counters for both items are zero.

The Core 3 100HL's standalone results provide the only measured data. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14948 in multi-core and 2110 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 6278 multi-core and 886 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1506 multi-core and 212 single-core.

PassMark results for the Core 3 100HL cover a broad workload range. Multi-thread performance scores 17586, single-thread scores 3735, and the average benchmark score is 23545. Integer math scores 56308, floating point math scores 42108, extended instructions score 12463, and data encryption scores 11964. Data compression scores 202225, random string sorting scores 23223, physics scores 928, and the find prime numbers test scores 48.

These numbers establish the Core 3 100HL's measured capabilities but cannot be compared against the i5-14501TE's missing data. The only structural comparison available is between the two processors' stated specifications, which favor the i5-14501TE in clock speed, L3 cache, PCIe generation, and ECC support, while the Core 3 100HL has more physical cores and larger L2 cache per core.
