Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core i5-14400 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Core i5-14400 holds a decisive advantage in nearly every measurable benchmark, while the Core 3 201TE has no recorded wins in the database. The data set for the Core 3 201TE is empty, meaning all comparisons rely on the Core i5-14400's recorded performance against its nearest rivals rather than direct head-to-head tests.

Looking at Cinebench results, the Core i5-14400 delivers a multicore score of 21315 in Cinebench R23, paired with a singlecore score of 3009. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result reaches 8952 with a singlecore score of 1263. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multicore score of 2148 and a singlecore score of 303. These results indicate a strong balance between single-threaded responsiveness and multi-threaded throughput.

Geekbench results follow the same pattern. The Core i5-14400 records a multicore score of 9807 and a singlecore score of 1905. These numbers position the processor comfortably above average, backed by its percentile ranking of 82 among all CPUs in the database.

PassMark tests provide a broader view of workload-specific performance. The Core i5-14400 scores 82017 in integer math, 61549 in floating point math, and 19816 in extended instructions. Data compression reaches 314995, while data encryption hits 16731. Random string sorting completes at 32346, and prime number finding scores 80. The multithread score is 25080, and the single-thread score is 3741. Physics performance is recorded at 1396.

The Core 3 201TE has an average benchmark score of 0 with a percentile ranking of 50, which reflects the absence of any recorded benchmarks rather than a literal performance measurement. This means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for the Core 3 201TE, and the Core i5-14400 stands as the only processor in this comparison with verified results.

The nearest rivals for the Core i5-14400 put its performance into perspective. The Intel Core i7-12800H posts an average score of 32121 with a delta of 0 percent, making it a statistical tie. The Intel Core i7-13705H scores 32076, which puts the Core i5-14400 ahead by 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-14450HX scores 32040, a 0.2 percent advantage for the Core i5-14400. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, meaning the Core i5-14400 trails by 0.3 percent. These deltas are all within noise-level margins, confirming that the Core i5-14400 performs on par with a set of much higher-tier mobile and desktop processors from previous generations.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i5-14400 wins across every recorded benchmark category. The multicore scores are particularly strong: Cinebench R23 multicore at 21315 and PassMark multithread at 25080 indicate sustained throughput for parallel workloads. The singlecore results, including Geekbench singlecore at 1905 and PassMark single thread at 3741, show that lightly threaded applications also benefit from the higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz.

The Core 3 201TE has no benchmark wins in the database, so there is no workload category where the data confirms an advantage. Its lower core count of 4 versus 10, and its boost clock of 4.60 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, suggest it would trail in both single-thread and multi-thread scenarios, but without recorded benchmarks, the database cannot substantiate any specific performance claim.

The Core i5-14400's nearest rivals show where it fits in the broader landscape. It edges out the Core i7-13705H by 0.1 percent and the Core i5-14450HX by 0.2 percent, while matching the Core i7-12800H exactly. The only processor ahead is the Core i9-11900, which leads by 0.3 percent. These margins are tiny, meaning the Core i5-14400 delivers performance comparable to processors that historically occupied higher market segments.

For users prioritizing multi-threaded tasks such as rendering, compilation, or data processing, the Core i5-14400's multicore scores provide a clear case. For single-threaded workloads, the boost clock of 4.70 GHz and the PassMark single-thread score of 3741 indicate strong responsiveness. The Core 3 201TE, with no recorded data, cannot be assigned any workload-specific strength.

The Verdict

The data points clearly to the Intel Core i5-14400 as the superior processor in this comparison. Its average benchmark score of 32115 and percentile ranking of 82 place it well above the Core 3 201TE, which has an average score of 0 and a percentile of 50. The Core i5-14400 also benefits from a larger core configuration: 10 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads. The L3 cache difference is substantial, with 20 MB shared on the Core i5-14400 versus 12 MB shared on the Core 3 201TE.

The Core i5-14400 matches or slightly exceeds several higher-tier rivals, including the Core i7-12800H, Core i7-13705H, and Core i5-14450HX, while trailing the Core i9-11900 by only 0.3 percent. This places it in a performance class that far exceeds what the Core 3 201TE can offer, based on the recorded data.

The Core 3 201TE does have a lower TDP of 45 watts versus 65 watts, which may appeal to systems with tighter thermal or power constraints. Its launch date is later, with a release date of 2025-01-12, compared to the Core i5-14400's 2024-01-07. The launch MSRP for the Core 3 201TE is $134, while the Core i5-14400 has a launch MSRP of $221. These factors are relevant for system planning, but they do not alter the performance picture.

For workloads where multicore throughput matters, the Core i5-14400 is the only choice with verified data. For single-threaded tasks, its recorded scores also dominate. The Core 3 201TE cannot be recommended for any performance scenario based on the database, as no benchmarks exist to support such a conclusion.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lines. The Core 3 201TE is based on the Bartlett Lake codename, belonging to the Core 3 generation. The Core i5-14400 uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with a Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation label. Both chips are built on Intel's 10 nm process and manufactured by Intel, but the die sizes differ: the Core 3 201TE measures 163 mm², while the Core i5-14400 measures 215 mm².

Cache configurations show notable differences. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache diverges significantly: the Core 3 201TE has 12 MB shared, while the Core i5-14400 has 20 MB shared. This larger L3 pool on the Core i5-14400 likely contributes to its stronger multicore performance, as more shared cache reduces latency for frequently accessed data across threads.

Memory support is identical in type, with both supporting DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel memory bus. The Core 3 201TE lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Core i5-14400 does not have a bandwidth figure recorded in the database. ECC memory support is present on both, and both use the same PCIe configuration: Gen 5 with 16 lanes available to the CPU. The integrated graphics are also the same, with both using UHD Graphics 730.

The Core 3 201TE has a production status of Active and a part number of SRPKDQ5CK, with a release date of 2025-01-12. The Core i5-14400 is also Active, with a part number of SRN3QSRN46 and a release date of 2024-01-07. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, meaning overclocking is not supported on either.
