The Verdict

The recorded data gives the Intel Core i5-14500HX a clear performance advantage. It wins all 17 head-to-head tests, holds an average benchmark score of 35094 against 15370, and ranks at the 84th percentile versus the 69th percentile. Three of its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i9-12900HX, Intel Core i7-13800H, and Intel Core 7 253PTE, sit within 0.4% of its average score, while the Intel Core i7-12700K is 0.5% higher. The 211TE's nearest rivals, the AMD EPYC 7543, AMD EPYC 7702P, AMD Ryzen 3 7440U, and Intel Core i3-1315U, span a range from 15022 to 15682, which brackets its 15370 average.

No workload in the recorded suite favors the 211TE. The 14500HX is a mobile part, but its recorded scores are far above the desktop 211TE. The 211TE remains a distinct desktop part with a lower TDP, but the benchmark comparison is one-sided. The data indicates the 14500HX for users who need the highest recorded throughput, and the 211TE is the part to consider when the desktop Socket 1700 platform or 45 W TDP is the binding constraint.
