Intel Core 5 213PE vs Intel Core i9-14901KE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: Intel Core 5 213PE has a full set of benchmark results, while Intel Core i9-14901KE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence makes a direct head-to-head numerical comparison impossible for individual tests. The Core 5 213PE posts a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 22468 and a single-core score of 3172, along with a PassMark multithread score of 26434 and a single-thread score of 4060. The Core i9-14901KE, by contrast, shows zero benchmark entries across all test categories.

The Core 5 213PE achieves an average benchmark score of 35428, placing it at the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals confirm its positioning: it sits 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700T (average score 35403), 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700KF (35365), 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13600T (35305), and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700K (35287). The Core i9-14901KE has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile standing, with no nearest rivals listed.

Since the head-to-head benchmark array is empty, the only measurable comparison comes from the specification fields and the absence of performance data for the i9-14901KE. The Core 5 213PE delivers measurable performance across 17 benchmark tests, while the Core i9-14901KE delivers none in the current database. The wins count confirms this asymmetry: the Core 5 213PE holds 0 wins and the Core i9-14901KE holds 0 wins, meaning no direct test results exist to assign either processor a victory.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 5 213PE wins in every category where data exists, simply because it is the only processor with recorded results. In multi-core workloads, its Cinebench R23 score of 22468 and R20 score of 9436 indicate strong parallel throughput for a desktop chip with 8 cores and 16 threads. Single-core performance is also documented: Cinebench R23 single-core at 3172, R20 single-core at 1332, and R15 single-core at 319. PassMark tests show specialized strengths: data compression at 298804, data encryption at 15916, extended instructions at 19565, floating point math at 68587, integer math at 92089, and random string sorting at 32027.

The Core i9-14901KE has no benchmark wins because the database contains no scores for it. Its specification sheet suggests capability, but the recorded data cannot confirm any workload advantage. The Core 5 213PE also demonstrates strong single-thread performance in PassMark with a score of 4060, which appears twice in the record (as passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread). Find prime numbers scores 114, and physics scores 1624.

For users relying on the database to compare actual measured outcomes, the Core 5 213PE is the only option with evidence. The i9-14901KE cannot be assigned wins in any category, including multithreaded rendering, encryption, compression, or integer math, because those tests were not run or not recorded.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700, are manufactured on a 10 nm process by Intel, and support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel memory buses. Both have 8 cores and 16 threads, with identical L1 cache of 80 KB per core and L2 cache of 2 MB per core. Both support ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The differences start with codename and generation. The Core 5 213PE is based on Bartlett Lake and belongs to the Core 5 generation. The Core i9-14901KE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Core i9 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. The i9-14901KE has a documented die size of 257 mm²; the Core 5 213PE has no die size recorded.

L3 cache differs significantly: the Core 5 213PE has 24 MB shared L3 cache, while the Core i9-14901KE has 36 MB shared L3 cache. The i9-14901KE also has a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz compared to 2.70 GHz for the Core 5 213PE, and a higher boost clock of 5.80 GHz versus 5.20 GHz. Thermal design power is higher for the i9-14901KE at 125 W, against 65 W for the Core 5 213PE.

Integrated graphics differ as well: the Core 5 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Core i9-14901KE uses UHD Graphics 770. The Core 5 213PE has a launch MSRP of $221 and a locked multiplier, whereas the i9-14901KE has no launch MSRP recorded and an unlocked multiplier. The Core 5 213PE launched on 2026-03-08, while the i9-14901KE launched on 2024-06-30. The Core 5 213PE has part number SA4QG, and the i9-14901KE has part number Q49DSRNJC.

Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the Core 5 213PE at 76.8 GB/s; the i9-14901KE has no memory bandwidth value in the database. Both processors are marked Active in production status and are Desktop market segment parts.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core 5 213PE is the processor with verifiable performance. It achieves an average benchmark score of 35428 and sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals within a narrow 0.1% to 0.4% band. The Intel Core i9-14901KE has no benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking, which reflects its lack of measured results rather than any direct performance deficit.

The i9-14901KE specification sheet shows advantages in clock speed, L3 cache, and TDP ceiling, but the database does not contain numbers to confirm how those translate into real workload performance. The Core 5 213PE provides concrete multithreaded and single-threaded scores, including Cinebench R23 multi-core at 22468 and PassMark data compression at 298804.

The choice depends on whether the user prioritizes documented benchmark evidence or specification-based potential. The Core 5 213PE is the only option with measured results, so any database-driven selection would favor it. The i9-14901KE offers a higher base clock (3.80 GHz versus 2.70 GHz), a higher boost clock (5.80 GHz versus 5.20 GHz), and more L3 cache (36 MB versus 24 MB), but those numbers are unverified in performance tests.

The Core 5 213PE also carries a lower TDP of 65 W against 125 W for the i9-14901KE, which the data supports as a more power-efficient design. The Core 5 213PE has an unlocked multiplier set to false, meaning it is not overclockable, while the i9-14901KE has an unlocked multiplier. For users who require benchmark-verified performance, the Core 5 213PE is the only defensible pick. For users who weigh raw specifications, the i9-14901KE has the higher clocks and larger cache, but no measured proof of superiority.
