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

Intel Core 5 130HL and Intel Core 5 211TE are both 45-watt desktop processors on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, but they target different workload profiles. The 130HL uses a 12-core Raptor Lake design with a higher base clock, while the 211TE uses a 10-core Bartlett Lake design with a larger L3 cache and faster PCIe support. Benchmark data is only available for the 211TE, so the comparison relies on architectural differences and the 211TE's recorded scores.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 211TE is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results, and its data shows a clear profile. It scores at the 69th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 15370. The 130HL has no benchmark entries and sits at the 50th percentile, meaning the 211TE is the stronger performer in the database's measured workloads.

The 211TE wins in every measurable category because it is the only one with data. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12201 and single-core score of 1722 indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded capability. The 130HL, with its 12 cores versus the 211TE's 10 cores, would likely have an advantage in heavily parallel workloads, but no numbers exist to confirm this. The 211TE's higher L3 cache (20 MB versus 18 MB) and faster PCIe Gen 5 support (16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes) give it advantages in memory-sensitive and expansion-heavy tasks.

The 130HL wins on core count and base clock. It runs at 2.60 GHz base versus the 211TE's 1.70 GHz, which suggests better performance in lightly threaded or bursty workloads that do not scale with core count. Its 12 cores versus 10 cores could help in multi-tasking scenarios, though the 211TE's boost clock matches at 4.80 GHz.

Architecture Differences

The 130HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, while the 211TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename. Both are built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry, but the die sizes differ: the 211TE has a 215 mm² die, while the 130HL's die size is not recorded.

Core counts differ: the 130HL has 12 cores and 16 threads, while the 211TE has 10 cores and 16 threads. Both have 16 threads, meaning the 211TE likely uses hyper-threading on all cores, while the 130HL may have some cores without hyper-threading to reach 12 cores with 16 threads. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. L2 cache differs: the 130HL has 2 MB per core, while the 211TE has 1.25 MB per core. L3 cache is larger on the 211TE at 20 MB shared versus 18 MB shared on the 130HL.

Memory support is the same for both: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel. The 211TE records a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the 130HL has no such figure. ECC memory support differs: the 211TE supports ECC, the 130HL does not.

PCIe is a major differentiator. The 130HL has PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes from the CPU, while the 211TE has PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This gives the 211TE double the lane count and a newer generation for graphics and NVMe storage.

Integrated graphics also differ: the 130HL uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, while the 211TE uses UHD Graphics 730, which is a more basic iGPU. The 130HL's Iris Xe is the stronger integrated graphics solution.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

No head-to-head benchmark data exists for these two processors. The database has no recorded scores for the 130HL, so a direct comparison of measured performance is impossible. The 211TE's scores stand alone.

The 211TE's Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12201, and its single-core score is 1722. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5124 multicore and 723 single-core. Cinebench R15 shows 1229 multicore and 173 single-core. These scores indicate the 211TE is a competent mid-range desktop processor.

PassMark results for the 211TE show its strengths: integer math at 33991, floating-point math at 26150, and extended instructions at 8615. Data compression scores 133434, while data encryption scores 7231. Prime number finding is low at 72, and random string sorting is 14838. The multithread score is 11685, and single-thread is 1408. Physics score is 1278.

The 211TE's nearest rivals in the database provide context. It sits 0.7% behind the AMD EPYC 7543 (average score 15477) and 2% behind the AMD Ryzen 3 7440U (average score 15682). It is 1.6% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7702P (average score 15130) and 2.3% ahead of the Intel Core i3-1315U (average score 15022). These deltas show the 211TE sits in a tight performance cluster with these four CPUs.

The 130HL has no benchmark entries, so its wins cannot be quantified. The database lists 0 wins for each processor in head-to-head comparisons.

The Verdict

The data supports the Intel Core 5 211TE as the better-recorded performer. It has benchmark scores across Cinebench and PassMark, a 69th percentile ranking, and an average benchmark score of 15370. The 130HL has no recorded benchmarks and sits at the 50th percentile, so its actual performance is unknown in the database.

For users who need ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and a larger 20 MB L3 cache, the 211TE is the clear choice. Its 76.8 GB/s memory bandwidth is also recorded, which is useful for memory-heavy workloads. The 211TE carries a launch MSRP of $221.

The 130HL offers advantages that are structural but unmeasured: 12 cores versus 10, a higher base clock of 2.60 GHz versus 1.70 GHz, and Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units versus UHD Graphics 730. These features could benefit tasks that favor many cores or a stronger integrated GPU, but no benchmark data confirms this.

The 211TE's nearest rival deltas show it performs within 2.3% of four other CPUs, meaning it is a solid mid-range option. The 130HL's lack of data means it cannot be recommended based on measurements. Buyers who need the 211TE's features should choose it, while the 130HL remains a specification-driven alternative with unverified performance.
