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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The comparison between the Intel Core 3 201TE and the Intel Core i5-14400F is lopsided in the recorded data. The Core i5-14400F holds every benchmark score in the database, while the Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark entries. The database shows zero wins for the Core 3 201TE and zero wins for the Core i5-14400F in the head-to-head section, but the individual benchmark results for the i5-14400F provide a full picture of its performance profile.

The Cinebench R23 multicore result for the i5-14400F is 21645 points. Its single-core score in the same test is 3055 points. These figures place the processor in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 32279 points, which puts it within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (32233 points), 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900 (32226 points), and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12800H (32121 points). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS by 0.2% (32354 points).

The Cinebench R20 results show a multicore score of 9090 and a single-core score of 1283. The Cinebench R15 results show a multicore score of 2181 and a single-core score of 307. The Geekbench multicore score is 11268, with a single-core score of 2058. PassMark tests reveal a multithread score of 25470, a single-thread score of 3701, integer math at 81524, floating point math at 61319, extended instructions at 19937, data compression at 315521, data encryption at 16949, find prime numbers at 86, random string sorting at 32680, and physics at 1523.

The Core 3 201TE, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its percentile rank is 50, meaning it sits at the midpoint of all CPUs in the database, but this rank is not supported by any measured workload data. The absence of benchmark entries for the Core 3 201TE makes direct numeric comparison impossible. The only measurable path is through the specification differences and the i5-14400F's known results.

The i5-14400F's multicore advantage is substantial in the recorded tests. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21645 is roughly seven times the single-core score of 3055, indicating strong scaling across its 16 threads. The Geekbench multicore score of 11268 is about 5.5 times the single-core score of 2058. These ratios confirm that the processor's design favors parallel workloads.

For the Core 3 201TE, the lack of benchmark data means no score can be attributed to it. The database records no Cinebench, Geekbench, or PassMark results for this processor. Its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder based on its position in the overall distribution, not on measured performance. The i5-14400F's 83rd percentile rank is derived from its average score of 32279 across the recorded tests.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same manufacturing node and foundry. Both use a 10 nm process from Intel. Both use the Intel Socket 1700. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. Both support ECC memory. Both provide PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The core counts differ significantly. The Core 3 201TE has 4 cores and 8 threads. The Core i5-14400F has 10 cores and 16 threads. This core and thread disparity directly explains the multicore benchmark results for the i5-14400F, though no comparable data exists for the Core 3 201TE.

The cache hierarchy differs in the L3 cache. The Core 3 201TE has 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14400F has 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core, and the L2 cache is identical at 1.25 MB per core. The die size differs: the Core 3 201TE measures 163 mm², while the Core i5-14400F measures 215 mm². The larger die for the i5-14400F is consistent with its additional cores and larger shared cache.

The Core 3 201TE belongs to the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 3 generation. The Core i5-14400F belongs to the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake architecture. The i5-14400F has a defined architecture name in the database, while the Core 3 201TE's architecture field is null.

Clock speeds differ in both base and boost values. The Core 3 201TE has a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Core i5-14400F has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The i5-14400F has a higher boost clock by 0.10 GHz, but a lower base clock by 0.40 GHz. The i5-14400F's higher boost clock likely contributes to its single-core performance, though the Core 3 201TE's single-core scores are not available.

Thermal design power differs substantially. The Core 3 201TE has a TDP of 45 watts. The Core i5-14400F has a TDP of 65 watts. The higher TDP for the i5-14400F aligns with its additional cores and larger cache. The Core 3 201TE's lower TDP suggests a more power-efficient design for lighter workloads.

Integrated graphics differ. The Core 3 201TE includes UHD Graphics 730. The Core i5-14400F has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A. This means the i5-14400F requires a discrete graphics card for display output, while the Core 3 201TE can drive a display without one.

Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the Core 3 201TE at 76.8 GB/s. The i5-14400F has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. The memory support and bus width are identical, but the bandwidth measurement is absent for the i5-14400F.

Release dates differ by roughly one year. The Core 3 201TE launched on 2025-01-12. The Core i5-14400F launched on 2024-01-07. Both are listed as Active in production status.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14400F has recorded benchmark scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, Geekbench, and PassMark tests. The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. For any workload where a numeric score exists, the i5-14400F is the only processor with measurable performance.

The i5-14400F's average benchmark score of 32279 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. It sits within 0.5% of three rival processors: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U (0.1% ahead), the Intel Core i9-11900 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i7-12800H (0.5% ahead). It trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS by 0.2%. These deltas indicate that the i5-14400F performs competitively with those mobile and older desktop chips.

The Core 3 201TE's percentile rank of 50 is not supported by any measured workload. Its 4 cores and 8 threads suggest lower multithreaded capability than the i5-14400F's 10 cores and 16 threads, but no benchmark confirms this. Its lower TDP of 45 watts versus 65 watts indicates a more power-conscious design. Its integrated UHD Graphics 730 provides display output without a discrete GPU, while the i5-14400F requires one.

The launch MSRP for the Core 3 201TE is $134. The launch MSRP for the Core i5-14400F is $196. The i5-14400F's benchmark data justifies its higher price through measurable performance, but the Core 3 201TE's value cannot be assessed from the database because no scores exist.

The choice between these two processors depends on whether the user needs integrated graphics or maximum computed performance. The Core 3 201TE offers a lower TDP and built-in display output. The i5-14400F offers recorded performance in the 83rd percentile with a higher TDP and no integrated graphics. From the data alone, the i5-14400F is the only processor with verified performance results.
