Intel Core 5 211E vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 211E and Intel Core i5-14401TE present an interesting comparison, though the data available for each is asymmetrical. The Core 5 211E has a full suite of benchmark scores recorded in the database, while the Core i5-14401TE currently has no benchmark entries. This means the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the measured performance of the Core 5 211E and its position relative to other processors in the database.

The Core 5 211E delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20389 and a single-core score of 2878. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8563 multi-core and 1208 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 2055 multi-core and 289 single-core. These scores place the Core 5 211E at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37829.

The closest rivals in the database provide context for these results. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37804 on average, a mere 0.1% difference from the Core 5 211E. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 trails by 0.2% with an average score of 37762. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 leads by 0.2% with 37904, and the Intel Core i9-14901E also leads by 0.2% with 37911. The Core 5 211E essentially sits in a dead heat with these four processors, with all deltas within a fraction of a percent.

PassMark results for the Core 5 211E show strong integer performance at 88117 and floating point math at 66402. The data compression score reaches 346757, while extended instructions hit 21592. Random string sorting completes at 34308, and data encryption scores 17938. The multithread score is 23833, with single-thread performance at 4006 and physics at 702. Prime number finding produces a score of 43.

The Core i5-14401TE lacks any recorded benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile ranking of 50 reflects this absence of measured data.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 5 211E demonstrates clear strengths across every measured benchmark category, simply because it has recorded data while the Core i5-14401TE does not. For compute-heavy workloads, the Core 5 211E uses its 10 cores and 16 threads to deliver a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20389. The single-core score of 2878 indicates strong per-thread performance, useful for lightly threaded applications.

The PassMark suite shows where the Core 5 211E excels in specific tasks. Integer math at 88117 suggests strong general arithmetic processing. Floating point math at 66402 indicates capable scientific and engineering workloads. Data compression at 346757 points to efficient handling of archival and data transfer tasks. The extended instructions score of 21592 covers workloads using modern instruction set extensions.

The Core i5-14401TE presents a different configuration on paper. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it has fewer parallel execution resources than the Core 5 211E. Its base clock of 2.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz are lower than the Core 5 211E's 2.70 GHz base and 4.90 GHz boost. The Core i5-14401TE also carries a 45 W TDP compared to 65 W for the Core 5 211E, which could affect sustained performance in thermally constrained systems. Without benchmark data, the database cannot confirm how these specifications translate into measured performance.

The Core 5 211E shows a clear advantage in multi-threaded scenarios based on its core count, thread count, and clock speeds. The recorded Cinebench numbers confirm this. For single-threaded workloads, the higher boost clock of the Core 5 211E gives it a theoretical edge, and the single-core benchmark scores support this.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core 5 211E, but this conclusion comes with a caveat: the Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The Core 5 211E sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37829. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.2% in either direction, include both AMD and Intel processors, confirming that the Core 5 211E performs competitively within its segment.

The Core i5-14401TE's 50th percentile ranking and empty benchmark profile mean the database cannot validate its performance. Users requiring measured data should look to the Core 5 211E, which has a complete set of results across Cinebench and PassMark tests.

The Core 5 211E offers 10 cores and 16 threads, a 4.90 GHz boost clock, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i5-14401TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads, a 4.50 GHz boost clock, and the same 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 5 211E also has a larger die size at 257 mm² compared to 215 mm², and its L2 cache is 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core for the Core i5-14401TE.

Both processors share several characteristics: Intel Socket 1700, 10 nm process node, DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, dual-channel memory bus, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, and UHD Graphics 730 integrated graphics.
