Intel Core 5 130UL vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

The database records two Intel desktop processors on Socket 1700: the Intel Core 5 130UL and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. Both use Raptor Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process, but the recorded specifications diverge sharply in core count, cache size, power envelope, and platform features. No head-to-head benchmark scores are recorded for either processor, so the comparison below is based on the specification data in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the Intel Core i5-14401TE as the specification leader for desktop workloads that need ECC memory support, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Its 45 W TDP and 2.00 GHz base clock indicate a part designed to operate with a larger power and cooling budget. The Intel Core 5 130UL is the specification leader for workloads that favor more physical cores, a higher boost clock, and a lower power envelope. It records 10 cores, a 4.70 GHz boost clock, and a 15 W TDP. Because the database contains no benchmark scores for either processor, the verdict rests on specifications rather than measured performance.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on Raptor Lake and use Intel Socket 1700. Intel is the foundry for both, and both are listed on a 10 nm process node. The Core 5 130UL carries the Raptor Lake-PS codename, while the Core i5-14401TE carries the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

The core configurations differ. The Core 5 130UL has 10 cores and 12 threads. The Core i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both parts expose 12 threads to software, but the Core 5 130UL does so with more physical cores. The per-core cache allocations are identical: 80 KB of L1 per core and 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The shared L3 cache differs, with 12 MB on the Core 5 130UL and 20 MB on the Core i5-14401TE. The Core i5-14401TE also records a die size of 215 mm², while the Core 5 130UL has no die size recorded.

Memory support is similar in type. Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The ECC capability differs: the Core i5-14401TE supports ECC memory, while the Core 5 130UL does not. Platform connectivity also differs. The Core 5 130UL provides PCIe Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes, while the Core i5-14401TE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 5 130UL uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, and the Core i5-14401TE uses UHD Graphics 730.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark entries for this pair. The wins counters are 0 for both processors, the average benchmark score is 0 for both, and both sit at the 50th percentile in the database's CPU ranking. With no benchmark scores to separate them, the exact comparison comes from the recorded specifications.

The Core 5 130UL records 10 cores, 12 threads, a 1.60 GHz base clock, a 4.70 GHz boost clock, a 15 W TDP, 12 MB of shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes, and Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. The Core i5-14401TE records 6 cores, 12 threads, a 2.00 GHz base clock, a 4.50 GHz boost clock, a 45 W TDP, 20 MB of shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, ECC memory support, UHD Graphics 730, and a 215 mm² die size.

The largest recorded advantages for the Core 5 130UL are its 10-core count and 4.70 GHz boost clock. The largest recorded advantages for the Core i5-14401TE are its 20 MB shared L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, ECC memory support, and 2.00 GHz base clock. These are specification wins, not measured benchmark wins.

Where Each One Wins

The database records 0 benchmark wins for both processors, so no measured benchmark split exists. The specification edge divides cleanly between the two parts.

The Core 5 130UL holds the core-count position with 10 cores against 6 cores, the boost-clock position at 4.70 GHz against 4.50 GHz, and the power-position at 15 W against 45 W. It also carries Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, while the Core i5-14401TE carries UHD Graphics 730. These recorded specifications point toward workloads that can use additional physical cores and a higher boost ceiling while operating within a lower power envelope.

The Core i5-14401TE holds the cache position with 20 MB of shared L3 against 12 MB, the base-clock position at 2.00 GHz against 1.60 GHz, and the platform position with PCIe Gen 5 and 16 CPU lanes against PCIe Gen 4 and 8 CPU lanes. ECC memory support is exclusive to the Core i5-14401TE. Its 45 W TDP indicates a platform expected to supply more power and cooling than the 15 W Core 5 130UL. These recorded specifications point toward memory-sensitive, reliability-oriented, and bandwidth-heavy desktop workloads.
