Intel Core 5 130HL vs Intel Core 5 211E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core 5 130HL and the Intel Core 5 211E. However, the recorded data for the Core 5 211E provides a complete performance profile, while the Core 5 130HL has no benchmark entries. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible. The only measurable data comes from the Core 5 211E, which shows strong multi-threaded performance.

The Core 5 211E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,389 and a single-core score of 2,878. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8,563 multi-core and 1,208 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 2,055 multi-core and 289 single-core. PassMark tests further detail its capabilities: multi-thread score of 23,833, single-thread score of 4,006, integer math at 88,117, floating point math at 66,402, and extended instructions at 21,592. Data compression reaches 346,757, data encryption hits 17,938, random string sorting scores 34,308, physics scores 702, and prime number finding scores 43.

The Core 5 211E holds an average benchmark score of 37,829 and sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 with an average score of 37,804 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 at 37,762 (0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37,904 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-14901E at 37,911 (0.2% ahead). These margins are extremely tight, indicating that the Core 5 211E performs essentially on par with these four competitors.

The Core 5 130HL has no benchmark scores recorded, no average score, and no nearest rival data. Its percentile ranking of 50 indicates mid-pack placement, but this figure likely reflects the absence of measured data rather than actual performance characteristics. The database shows zero wins for either processor in head-to-head comparisons, which aligns with the lack of direct test results.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core 5 211E is the only processor in this comparison with measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 37,829 places it at the 86th percentile, a strong result. The Core 5 130HL cannot be evaluated numerically because the database contains no benchmark entries for it.

For users selecting between these two, the data supports the Core 5 211E based on its verified performance across multiple Cinebench and PassMark tests. The Core 5 130HL offers a 12-core, 16-thread configuration versus the 10-core, 16-thread layout of the Core 5 211E, but without test scores, its real-world performance remains unquantified.

The Core 5 211E also demonstrates clear advantages in platform features. It supports ECC memory, offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, includes a larger 20 MB shared L3 cache, and has a rated memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Core 5 130HL lacks ECC support, uses PCIe Gen 4 with only 8 lanes, and shares 18 MB of L3 cache. These differences matter for workstation and embedded applications where memory reliability and I/O throughput are critical.

The Core 5 211E carries a launch MSRP of $221. The Core 5 130HL has no launch MSRP recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

Core 5 211E strengths from measured data: The benchmark suite shows consistent multi-threaded capability. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 20,389 and PassMark multi-thread at 23,833 indicate strong parallel workloads. The 86th percentile ranking confirms it competes favorably against the broader CPU landscape. Its ECC memory support makes it suitable for error-sensitive computing environments. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 CPU lanes doubles the lane count and doubles the generation speed compared to the Core 5 130HL. The larger 20 MB L3 cache and 76.8 GB/s memory bandwidth support data-intensive operations.

Core 5 130HL strengths from specification data: The 12-core design provides two additional physical cores over the Core 5 211E, which could benefit lightly threaded workloads that scale with core count. Its 45 W TDP is lower than the 65 W TDP of the Core 5 211E, suggesting potentially lower power draw under load. The Iris Xe Graphics 80EU integrated GPU is more capable than the UHD Graphics 730 in the Core 5 211E, based on the EU count difference. The release date of April 2024 places it earlier in the market, though the Core 5 211E arrived in January 2025.

Core 5 211E additional wins: The 2.70 GHz base clock and 4.90 GHz boost clock both exceed the 2.60 GHz and 4.80 GHz of the Core 5 130HL. The die size of 257 mm² for the Core 5 211E indicates a physically larger chip. The Core 5 211E also has a recorded part number (SRQERQ65F), while the Core 5 130HL lists its part number as unknown.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The Intel Core 5 130HL uses Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-PS. The Intel Core 5 211E uses Bartlett Lake architecture with the same Bartlett Lake codename. Both are fabricated on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry.

The core configurations differ: the Core 5 130HL has 12 cores and 16 threads, while the Core 5 211E has 10 cores and 16 threads. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core and a 2 MB L2 cache per core. The shared L3 cache differs, with the Core 5 130HL carrying 18 MB and the Core 5 211E carrying 20 MB. The Core 5 211E has a recorded die size of 257 mm²; no die size is listed for the Core 5 130HL.

Memory support includes DDR4 and DDR5 for both, with dual-channel memory buses. The Core 5 211E has a rated memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the Core 5 130HL has no bandwidth figure. ECC memory is supported only on the Core 5 211E.

PCIe connectivity differs substantially. The Core 5 130HL uses Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU. The Core 5 211E uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the Core 5 211E twice the lane count and a newer generation, which matters for high-throughput storage and expansion cards.

Integrated graphics also differ. The Core 5 130HL uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units. The Core 5 211E uses UHD Graphics 730. Both processors target the desktop segment and both are currently in active production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Clock speeds favor the Core 5 211E: 2.70 GHz base versus 2.60 GHz, and 4.90 GHz boost versus 4.80 GHz. Power targets differ as well, with the Core 5 130HL rated at 45 W TDP and the Core 5 211E rated at 65 W TDP. Both use Intel Socket 1700. The Core 5 211E has a known part number, SRQERQ65F, while the Core 5 130HL lists its part number as unknown.
