Intel Core 5 213PTE vs Intel Core i5-14450HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a clear overall picture: the Intel Core 5 213PTE wins 14 of the 17 recorded comparisons, while the Intel Core i5-14450HX takes 3. The margin of victory, however, varies dramatically depending on the workload, revealing two very different performance profiles.

In the Cinebench suite, the Core 5 213PTE is consistently ahead by a narrow margin. In Cinebench R15 multicore, it scores 2192 against 2026, a 7.6% advantage. The single-core result is nearly identical in percentage terms: 309 versus 285, also a 7.6% lead. That same 7.6% delta repeats across Cinebench R20 multicore (9135 vs 8445), R20 single-core (1289 vs 1191), and R23 multicore (21751 vs 20108). The R23 single-core result is 3070 versus 2838, again a 7.6% gap. This consistency across rendering workloads suggests a fundamental per-thread efficiency advantage for the Core 5 213PTE, not a workload-specific quirk.

The PassMark suite tells a more complex story. The i5-14450HX wins the data compression test with 278538 against 261083, a 6.7% lead. It also wins data encryption, scoring 15574 versus 14413, an 8.1% margin. The extended instructions test goes to the i5-14450HX as well, 17207 against 16146, a 6.6% edge. These three wins all fall in the 6% to 8% range, and all favor the mobile chip.

The Core 5 213PTE, meanwhile, posts much larger wins in the remaining PassMark tests. The find prime numbers test shows the biggest divergence: 157 versus 98, a 37.6% blowout. The physics test is nearly as lopsided, with 2199 against 1475, a 32.9% margin. Floating point math goes to the Core 5 213PTE by 19.1% (71722 vs 58037), and integer math by 15.9% (93109 vs 78330). The multithread score is 25590 versus 23680, a 7.5% lead, while random string sorting is close at 30106 versus 29565, a 1.8% edge. Single-thread performance is also close, 3718 versus 3643, a 2% difference.

Looking at the aggregate figures, the Core 5 213PTE holds an average benchmark score of 32924, with a percentile rank of 83 among all CPUs. The i5-14450HX averages 32040, ranking in the 82nd percentile. The nearest rivals for the Core 5 213PTE include the Intel Core i7-12700, which averages 32942 (a 0.1% difference), and the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at 33079 (0.5% higher). The i5-14450HX sits near the Intel Core i7-13705H, which averages 32076 and trails the i5 by only 0.1%.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel design lineages. The i5-14450HX is built on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-HX variant, part of the Core 14th Gen series. The Core 5 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake architecture, a newer design that shares the 10 nm process node with the Raptor Lake chip. Both are fabricated by Intel on that same 10 nm node.

The core configurations differ in count but not in thread count. The i5-14450HX has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Core 5 213PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. This means the Core 5 213PTE relies more heavily on simultaneous multithreading to reach its 16 threads, whereas the i5-14450HX has two additional physical cores.

Cache hierarchies are similar in structure but differ in total capacity. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The shared L3 cache is where they diverge: the i5-14450HX has 20 MB shared, while the Core 5 213PTE has 24 MB shared. That 4 MB additional L3 gives the Core 5 213PTE more room for shared working sets.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The i5-14450HX ships with UHD Graphics 710, while the Core 5 213PTE includes UHD Graphics 730. Both support the same memory types, DDR4 and DDR5, over a dual-channel memory bus. The Core 5 213PTE lists a memory bandwidth figure of 76.8 GB/s, while the i5-14450HX does not have a recorded bandwidth number in the database.

PCIe support is identical on paper: both offer Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The market segments differ, with the i5-14450HX classified as a mobile part and the Core 5 213PTE as a desktop part. The i5-14450HX has an unlocked multiplier, while the Core 5 213PTE is locked. Release dates are far apart: the i5-14450HX launched in January 2024, while the Core 5 213PTE launched in March 2026.

Specification Differences

The two chips differ across several specification fields. Core count is 10 for the i5-14450HX and 8 for the Core 5 213PTE. Threads are equal at 16. Base clock is 2.40 GHz on the i5-14450HX and 2.10 GHz on the Core 5 213PTE. Boost clock favors the Core 5 213PTE, which reaches 5.20 GHz versus 4.80 GHz on the i5-14450HX.

Thermal design power differs by 10 watts. The i5-14450HX is rated at 55 W TDP, while the Core 5 213PTE is rated at 45 W. The sockets are not interchangeable: the i5-14450HX uses Intel BGA 1964, while the Core 5 213PTE uses Intel Socket 1700.

L3 cache is larger on the Core 5 213PTE at 24 MB shared, versus 20 MB shared on the i5-14450HX. The integrated GPU is a UHD Graphics 730 on the Core 5 213PTE and a UHD Graphics 710 on the i5-14450HX. The Core 5 213PTE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s; the i5-14450HX does not have one listed.

The production status for both is Active. The i5-14450HX is from the Core 14th Gen series and carries the part number SRMXK. The Core 5 213PTE has no series designation in the database and uses part number SA4QM. The multiplier is unlocked on the i5-14450HX but locked on the Core 5 213PTE. The launch MSRP for the Core 5 213PTE is $221; no launch MSRP is recorded for the i5-14450HX.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE is the stronger choice for rendering and compute-heavy tasks. Its consistent 7.6% lead across all Cinebench versions, both single-core and multi-core, indicates an advantage in threaded productivity workloads that rely on sustained CPU throughput. The 19.1% lead in floating point math and 15.9% lead in integer math reinforce this positioning. The physics test, where it leads by 32.9%, suggests particular strength in simulation and game-physics calculations.

The find prime numbers result, a 37.6% win, points to an edge in integer-heavy algorithmic work. The multithread score, 7.5% higher, confirms that the Core 5 213PTE maintains its advantage even in mixed parallel workloads. Random string sorting is nearly even at 1.8% in favor of the Core 5 213PTE, so memory-latency-sensitive sorting tasks will not see a major difference.

The Intel Core i5-14450HX wins in three specific PassMark tests, and those wins all involve data manipulation. Data compression shows a 6.7% lead, data encryption shows an 8.1% lead, and extended instructions show a 6.6% lead. These results suggest the i5-14450HX has an edge in workloads that exercise compression algorithms, cryptographic operations, and specialized instruction sets. The 10-core configuration likely contributes here, as these tasks can effectively use the additional physical cores.

For single-thread responsiveness, the Core 5 213PTE holds a modest but consistent edge. The 2% PassMark single-thread lead and the 7.6% Cinebench single-core lead both favor it. The higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.80 GHz aligns with this outcome.

The overall average benchmark scores place the Core 5 213PTE slightly higher, at 32924 versus 32040. Its 83rd percentile rank versus the 82nd percentile of the i5-14450HX reflects the same ordering. The nearest rival comparison shows the Core 5 213PTE trading blows with the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which scores 0.5% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G, also 0.5% higher. The i5-14450HX sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core i9-11900, its closest listed rival.

For users prioritizing rendering, physics, or math-heavy workloads, the Core 5 213PTE is the clear pick. For compression, encryption, and extended-instruction tasks, the i5-14450HX offers the better result despite its lower overall average. The mobile versus desktop segmentation matters too: the i5-14450HX targets laptops with its BGA socket and 55 W TDP, while the Core 5 213PTE is a desktop part on Socket 1700 with a 45 W TDP.
