Intel Core 5 130UL vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no overlapping benchmark scores for the Intel Core 5 130UL and the Intel Core i7-14701TE. The Core 5 130UL has no benchmark entries in the database, while the Core i7-14701TE has a full suite of Cinebench and Passmark results. This absence of direct comparison scores means the head-to-head analysis must rely on the i7-14701TE's absolute performance and its percentile placement relative to all CPUs.

The Core i7-14701TE delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035 and a single-core score of 2405. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 7154 and single-core is 1010. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1716 multicore and 242 single-core. Passmark results include a multithread score of 20042, a single-thread score of 2637, integer math at 65792, floating-point math at 50219, and data compression at 220520. The processor also records 11699 in data encryption, 14354 in extended instructions, 143 in find prime numbers, 1860 in physics, and 22760 in random string sorting.

Because the Core 5 130UL lacks recorded scores, the database shows zero wins for each processor in direct matchups. The i7-14701TE's percentile versus all CPUs stands at 78, meaning it outperforms the majority of processors in the database. The Core 5 130UL sits at percentile 50 with an average benchmark score of zero, which reflects the missing data rather than a measured performance level. The i7-14701TE carries an average benchmark score of 26013, placing it in a competitive band against its nearest rivals: the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 scores 25981 (0.1% below), the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26106 (0.4% above), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25880 (0.5% below), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187 (0.7% above). These delta percentages show the i7-14701TE is nearly identical in aggregate performance to these four rivals, with all differences within one percent.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use the Raptor Lake architecture and are built on Intel's 10 nm process node. The Core 5 130UL carries the codename Raptor Lake-PS, while the Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series and the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The Core 5 130UL belongs to the Core 5 (Raptor Lake-PS) generation, whereas the i7-14701TE is listed under Core i7 (Raptor Lake Refresh). Both fit the Intel Socket 1700 and target the desktop market segment. Production status for both is Active.

The physical die size is recorded only for the i7-14701TE at 257 mm²; no die size is listed for the Core 5 130UL. Transistor counts are unavailable for either part. The cache hierarchies differ substantially. Each core in both processors has 80 KB of L1 cache. The L2 cache per core is 1.25 MB for the Core 5 130UL and 2 MB for the i7-14701TE. Shared L3 cache is 12 MB for the Core 5 130UL and 33 MB for the i7-14701TE. No 3D V-Cache is present on either.

Memory support is identical in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5 with a dual-channel memory bus. However, ECC memory support differs. The Core 5 130UL does not support ECC memory, while the i7-14701TE does. PCIe capabilities also separate the two. The Core 5 130UL provides PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only), while the i7-14701TE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 5 130UL uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, and the i7-14701TE uses UHD Graphics 770.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i7-14701TE wins in every measurable category because it is the only part with benchmark data. Its 8 cores and 16 threads provide a strong foundation for multithreaded workloads, as reflected in the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035 and Passmark multithread score of 20042. The single-core performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2405 and a Passmark single-thread score of 2637. The boost clock of 5.20 GHz supports high-frequency workloads, while the base clock of 2.10 GHz establishes a solid floor. The 33 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache benefit workloads that repeatedly access large datasets, such as data compression, which scores 220520 in Passmark. Integer math at 65792 and floating-point math at 50219 indicate broad compute capability across both integer and floating-point tasks.

The Core 5 130UL has no recorded wins. Its specifications suggest a different positioning: 10 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 1.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The lower TDP of 15 watts, compared to 45 watts for the i7-14701TE, points toward lower sustained power draw, but the database contains no benchmark evidence to confirm performance under load. The 12 MB L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache are smaller than the i7-14701TE's, and the PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes is a narrower interface. The Iris Xe Graphics 80EU integrated GPU may offer different graphics capabilities than the UHD Graphics 770, but no graphics benchmarks are recorded.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core i7-14701TE for any workload where recorded performance matters. It delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17035, a Passmark multithread score of 20042, and a single-thread score of 2637. Its 78th percentile placement versus all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 26013, places it in the same performance class as the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE, and AMD Ryzen 5 8540U, with deltas of 0.1%, -0.4%, 0.5%, and -0.7% respectively. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz, larger 33 MB L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and ECC memory support reinforce its position as the stronger part on paper and in measured tests.

The Intel Core 5 130UL has no benchmark results in the database, so its actual performance cannot be verified. Its specifications show 10 cores and 12 threads, a 15-watt TDP, a 1.60 GHz base clock, a 4.70 GHz boost clock, 12 MB L3 cache, and PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. These figures suggest a lower-power design, but without recorded scores, the database cannot confirm how it behaves in real workloads. The 50th percentile ranking is based on the absence of benchmark data, not on measured performance. Any choice between these two processors should recognize that the i7-14701TE has substantial, verified performance data, while the Core 5 130UL remains unmeasured in the database. Users prioritizing confirmed performance should select the i7-14701TE. Users constrained by the 15-watt TDP of the Core 5 130UL may consider it, but no benchmark evidence exists to support its performance claims.
