The Verdict

The data clearly separates these two processors by market segment and workload profile. The Intel Core 5 220H is a mobile chip with 12 cores, 16 threads, a 2.70 GHz base clock, a 4.90 GHz boost clock, and a 45 W TDP. The Intel Core i5-14401TE is a desktop chip with 6 cores, 12 threads, a 2.00 GHz base clock, a 4.50 GHz boost clock, and a 45 W TDP. Both are locked processors with no unlocked multiplier.

For multithreaded workloads, the Core 5 220H is the clear choice based on core count alone, doubling the i5-14401TE's core count and adding 4 more threads. The recorded Cinebench and PassMark scores for the 220H confirm that it delivers substantial multicore throughput, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11198 and a PassMark multithread score of 21884. The i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmarks, so it cannot claim any measured performance advantage in this comparison.

For single-threaded workloads, the 220H again leads on paper due to its higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz versus 4.50 GHz. Its recorded single-core scores of 1853 in Cinebench R23 and 3405 in PassMark single-thread reflect that clock advantage. The i5-14401TE, with no recorded scores, cannot be shown to outperform it in any measured metric.

The i5-14401TE does offer a desktop socket, Intel Socket 1700, versus the 220H's mobile Intel BGA 1744. It also supports ECC memory, which the 220H does not. The i5-14401TE has a larger L3 cache of 20 MB shared, compared to 18 MB shared on the 220H, and it provides 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU versus 8 on the 220H. These features favor the desktop chip for specific system configurations.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the Core 5 220H wins on all measured performance points, while the i5-14401TE wins on platform flexibility, ECC support, cache size, and PCIe lane count. Any performance comparison must favor the 220H, but the i5-14401TE remains the only option for a socketed desktop build with ECC memory.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 220H wins in every benchmark category that has recorded data. Its multithreaded performance is its strongest suit, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11198, a Cinebench R20 multicore score of 7812, and a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1835. The PassMark multithread score of 21884 reinforces this, as do the integer math score of 73555 and the floating point math score of 51671. The data compression score of 247921 and the data encryption score of 15216 show strong throughput in data-intensive tasks. The random string sorting score of 28438 and the extended instructions score of 14642 round out a comprehensive multithreaded profile.

Single-threaded workloads also favor the 220H. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1853, Cinebench R20 single-core score of 1102, and Cinebench R15 single-core score of 262 demonstrate strong per-core performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 3405 and the physics score of 1478 add further evidence. The find prime numbers score of 82 is the only weak point in the 220H's recorded results, indicating a relative weakness in that specific integer workload.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE wins in platform-level attributes rather than measured performance. It uses Intel Socket 1700, which is a desktop socket, while the 220H uses Intel BGA 1744, a mobile socket. The i5-14401TE supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the 220H.
