Intel Core 5 210H vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

The Intel Core 5 210H and the Intel Core i5-14501TE are both 45-watt Raptor Lake processors, but they target different segments: the 210H is a mobile part using the Intel BGA 1744 socket, while the i5-14501TE is a desktop processor built for Intel Socket 1700. The 210H has 8 cores and 12 threads, while the i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both share a base clock of 2.20 GHz, yet the desktop chip boosts higher, reaching 5.10 GHz compared to the mobile chip's 4.80 GHz. Benchmark data is extensive for the 210H, which records an average score of 24,872 and a percentile ranking of 77 among all CPUs. The i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct performance comparisons rely entirely on the 210H's measured results and architectural specifications.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark runs between these two processors, so the comparison must be drawn from the recorded scores of the Intel Core 5 210H. The 210H delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,830 and a single-core score of 1,771. In Cinebench R20, it records 6,504 multi-core and 918 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 1,757 multi-core and 247 single-core. These results place the 210H at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24,872.

The nearest rivals in the database bracket the 210H closely. The Intel Core i7-13620H averages 24,911, which is 0.2% higher than the 210H. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX averages 24,822, which is 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i7-11850H averages 24,935, 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F averages 24,964, 0.4% higher. These tight margins indicate the 210H sits squarely within a competitive cluster of established mid-range and upper-mid-range processors from both Intel and AMD.

PassMark results for the 210H further characterize its performance. Multi-threaded score is 18,252, while single-thread score is 3,539. Integer math reaches 61,503, floating point math reaches 45,057, and extended instructions score 13,370. Data compression records 217,805, data encryption records 12,187, and random string sorting records 23,451. Physics simulation scores 1,040, and find prime numbers scores 53.

Because the i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries, its relative standing cannot be quantified against the 210H. The 210H's 0.2% deficit to the i7-13620H and its 0.2% advantage over the Ryzen 9 5900HX suggest that any processor matching the 210H's core and thread configuration would land in the same performance band. The i5-14501TE uses fewer cores, which typically reduces multi-threaded throughput, but its higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz could support competitive single-thread performance. Without measured scores, the database cannot confirm either direction.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use the Raptor Lake architecture and are fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process node. The 210H carries the codename Raptor Lake-H, while the i5-14501TE carries Raptor Lake-R. Both belong to the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, though the 210H is labeled under the Core 5 branding and the i5-14501TE under Core 14th Gen.

Core counts differ significantly. The 210H provides 8 cores and 12 threads, whereas the i5-14501TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads. This means the mobile chip has two additional physical cores, while both chips expose the same number of threads, suggesting the i5-14501TE relies more heavily on simultaneous multithreading to reach its thread count.

Cache layouts also diverge. Both share an L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The L2 cache on the 210H is 2 MB per core, while the i5-14501TE has 1.25 MB per core. The shared L3 cache is 12 MB on the 210H and 24 MB on the i5-14501TE. The desktop chip therefore holds twice the L3 capacity but less L2 per core.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The 210H uses Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units, while the i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770. Memory support is identical in type, with both accepting DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel configuration. The i5-14501TE adds ECC memory support, which the 210H lacks. PCIe connectivity differs: the 210H provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes from the CPU, while the i5-14501TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The physical package sets them apart. The 210H uses Intel BGA 1744 and is classified as a mobile processor. The i5-14501TE uses Intel Socket 1700 and is classified as a desktop processor. The die size is recorded only for the i5-14501TE at 215 mm². Both parts are currently active in production, and both have locked multipliers.

The Verdict

The recorded data establishes the Intel Core 5 210H as a fully measured processor with a comprehensive benchmark profile and a 77th percentile ranking. Its average benchmark score of 24,872 places it within 0.4% of four nearby rivals, all of which score between 24,822 and 24,964. The 210H's closest competitor in the database, the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, is only 0.2% higher in average score, and the Intel Core i7-13620H is 0.2% lower. This indicates the 210H delivers performance consistent with established 8-core mobile and desktop parts.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores in the database, so its measured performance cannot be stated. Its specifications suggest a different trade-off: two fewer cores but a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz, double the L3 cache at 24 MB, and ECC memory support. For workloads that rely on single-thread speed and large shared caches, the i5-14501TE has the higher clock ceiling and more cache. For workloads that scale with physical cores, the 210H has the advantage with 8 cores versus 6.

The 210H is the only one of the two with recorded database performance, and it sits at the 77th percentile. The i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure is not backed by any measured scores. The choice between them depends on whether the workload favors the 210H's additional cores or the i5-14501TE's higher boost clock and larger L3 cache.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 210H wins in multi-threaded scenarios due to its 8 physical cores. The recorded Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,830 and PassMark multi-thread score of 18,252 demonstrate solid throughput for parallel workloads. Its position at the 77th percentile, with an average score of 24,872, confirms it outperforms roughly three-quarters of all CPUs in the database. The 210H also carries Iris Xe Graphics with 48 execution units, which provides a more capable integrated graphics solution than the older UHD 770 branding on the desktop part, though no direct graphics benchmarks are recorded.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins in single-thread potential based on its 5.10 GHz boost clock, which is 0.30 GHz higher than the 210H's 4.80 GHz. It also provides 24 MB of shared L3 cache, double the 210H's 12 MB, which can benefit workloads with large working sets that fit in cache. The i5-14501TE supports ECC memory, making it suitable for environments where data integrity is prioritized. Its desktop socket, Intel Socket 1700, and 16 CPU PCIe lanes offer more platform-level expansion than the mobile BGA 1744 package with 8 CPU PCIe lanes.

The 210H is the better choice for fully threaded workloads and for mobile deployments where the BGA socket and 45 W TDP fit a laptop platform. The i5-14501TE is the better choice for desktop builds that need ECC memory, higher boost clocks, and more PCIe lanes. The database records no benchmark scores for the i5-14501TE, so any performance advantage for that chip must be inferred from its higher clock speed, larger L3 cache, and additional platform features rather than from measured results.
