The Intel Core 5 213PTE and Intel Core i9-14901E are both 8-core, 16-thread desktop processors on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, yet the benchmark data places them in distinct performance tiers. The Core i9-14901E, built on Raptor Lake architecture, dominates every recorded benchmark in the comparison, winning all 17 head-to-head tests. The Core 5 213PTE, based on Bartlett Lake, posts competitive but consistently lower scores across Cinebench and Passmark workloads, with the performance gap ranging from a modest 6.4% in extended instructions to a substantial 27.7% in physics calculations.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark results show no use-case category where the Intel Core 5 213PTE holds an advantage over the Intel Core i9-14901E. Across all 17 head-to-head tests, the Core i9-14901E delivers higher scores, making it the stronger choice for every workload represented in the data.

The Core i9-14901E shows its largest margin in the Passmark physics test, where it scores 3041 against 2199 for the Core 5 213PTE, a 27.7% difference. This suggests the i9-14901E has a clear edge in simulation and physics-heavy tasks. The smallest gap appears in Passmark extended instructions, with the i9-14901E scoring 17249 versus 16146, a 6.4% lead, indicating the two processors are closer in specialized instruction workloads.

For single-threaded performance, the Core i9-14901E leads by 14.6% in Passmark single-thread, scoring 4354 versus 3718. The Cinebench single-core results follow the same pattern, with the i9-14901E ahead by 15.6% in R15, 15.5% in R20, and 15.5% in R23. Multi-threaded workloads show a similar spread, with the i9-14901E scoring 25753 in Cinebench R23 multi-core versus 21751, a 15.5% advantage. The data indicates the Core i9-14901E is the superior processor across both lightly threaded and heavily threaded applications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same fundamental configuration of 8 cores and 16 threads, but their underlying architectures differ significantly. The Intel Core 5 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, while the Intel Core i9-14901E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename with a Raptor Lake architecture. Both are manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel, and both use the Intel Socket 1700 platform.

Cache configuration is a major differentiator. The Core 5 213PTE carries 24 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Core i9-14901E carries 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The per-core L1 and L2 caches are identical at 80 KB and 2 MB per core respectively, so the extra 12 MB of L3 cache on the i9-14901E is the primary cache advantage. The i9-14901E also has a larger die size at 257 mm², while the Core 5 213PTE has no recorded die size in the database.

Clock speeds separate the two as well. The Core 5 213PTE has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Core i9-14901E has a base clock of 2.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The i9-14901E therefore offers both a higher sustained frequency and a higher peak frequency. Power targets also differ, with the Core 5 213PTE rated at a 45 W TDP and the Core i9-14901E rated at a 65 W TDP.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, and both support ECC memory. The Core 5 213PTE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the i9-14901E has no memory bandwidth figure recorded in the database. Both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics differ, with the Core 5 213PTE using UHD Graphics 730 and the i9-14901E using UHD Graphics 770.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data shows a consistent pattern of Core i9-14901E superiority across every recorded test. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the i9-14901E scores 2595 against 2192, a 15.5% lead. The R15 single-core test shows 366 versus 309, a 15.6% lead. Cinebench R20 multi-core results show 10816 versus 9135, again a 15.5% gap, and R20 single-core shows 1526 versus 1289, a 15.5% gap. Cinebench R23 multi-core shows 25753 versus 21751, and R23 single-core shows 3635 versus 3070, both at 15.5% differences.
