Intel Core 3 201TE vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core i5-14450HX has a full set of measurements across Cinebench and Passmark tests. This makes the comparison one-sided in terms of measured data, but the Core i5-14450HX's results still establish a clear performance profile.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Core i5-14450HX scores 20108 points. Its single-core score in the same test is 2838 points. The R20 results show 8445 multi-core and 1191 single-core, while the older R15 test produces 2026 multi-core and 285 single-core. These numbers indicate strong scaling from single-threaded to multi-threaded workloads, with the multi-core scores roughly 7 times higher than the single-core scores across all three Cinebench versions.

Passmark results for the Core i5-14450HX show a multi-thread score of 23680 and a single-thread score of 3643. The integer math test delivers 78330, floating point math reaches 58037, and extended instructions hit 17207. Data compression scores 278538, data encryption scores 15574, and random string sorting produces 29565. The physics test returns 1475, and the prime number search test yields 98.

The Core i5-14450HX sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 32040. The nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i7-13705H scores 32076, which is 0.1% ahead; the Intel Core i5-14400 scores 32115, 0.2% ahead; the Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, 0.3% ahead; and the Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, 0.6% ahead. This grouping shows the Core i5-14450HX performing within a narrow band of established desktop and mobile processors, with the largest gap to any rival at just 0.6%.

The Core 3 201TE has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50, but with no actual test data recorded, these figures cannot be interpreted as performance measurements. The absence of benchmark entries means the database contains no direct head-to-head results between the two processors.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14450HX wins every category where measured data exists. It has 10 cores and 16 threads compared to the Core 3 201TE's 4 cores and 8 threads. Its boost clock reaches 4.80 GHz versus 4.60 GHz on the Core 3 201TE. The Core i5-14450HX also carries 20 MB of shared L3 cache against 12 MB on the Core 3 201TE, and its L2 cache is 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Core i5-14450HX's core and thread advantage is decisive. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20108, combined with the Passmark multi-thread score of 23680, indicates strong parallel processing capability. The Core 3 201TE has no comparable scores, so the database offers no evidence of it winning any multi-threaded test.

Single-threaded performance also favors the Core i5-14450HX based on the recorded data. Its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2838 and Passmark single-thread score of 3643 establish a solid baseline. The Core 3 201TE's higher base clock of 2.90 GHz compared to 2.40 GHz does not translate into any measured advantage, as no benchmark results exist for it.

The Core 3 201TE does hold advantages in specific non-performance areas. Its TDP is 45 watts versus 55 watts for the Core i5-14450HX, indicating lower power consumption as a specification. It uses the Intel Socket 1700, which is a desktop platform, while the Core i5-14450HX uses Intel BGA 1964, a mobile socket. The Core 3 201TE also integrates UHD Graphics 730, while the Core i5-14450HX uses UHD Graphics 710.
