Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14700HX dominates in every multi-threaded workload category recorded in the database. In Cinebench R15 multicore, it scores 3812 versus 2264 for the Core 5 213PE, a 40.6% advantage. The mobile chip also wins Cinebench R20 multicore (13059 versus 9436) and Cinebench R23 multicore (24595 versus 22468). PassMark tests follow the same pattern: data compression (438539 versus 298804), data encryption (26092 versus 15916), integer math (131296 versus 92089), floating point math (93836 versus 68587), and physics (2252 versus 1624) all favor the i7-14700HX. The i7-14700HX also wins extended instructions (25718 versus 19565), find prime numbers (165 versus 114), multithread (36566 versus 26434), and random string sorting (48544 versus 32027).

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins the single-core tests. In Cinebench R15 singlecore, it posts 319 versus 296, a 7.8% margin. Cinebench R23 singlecore shows its strongest result: 3172 versus 2103, a 50.8% lead. PassMark single thread also goes to the Core 5 213PE at 4060 versus 3947, a 2.9% edge. The Core 5 213PE loses Cinebench R20 singlecore (1332 versus 1843), which is an anomaly relative to its other single-thread wins, but the overall pattern is clear: the desktop chip carries the faster single-core performance in the majority of tests.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel design families. The Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation, while the i7-14700HX uses the Raptor Lake-HX codename under the Raptor Lake architecture, part of the Core 14th Gen series.
