Intel Core 5 220H vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the Intel Core 5 220H, but the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means a direct head-to-head comparison using measured scores is not possible for the majority of tests. The Core 5 220H shows strong absolute performance across the tests it was run in. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 11198, and its single-core score is 1853. In Cinebench R20, it records 7812 multi-core and 1102 single-core. The R15 results are 1835 multi-core and 262 single-core.

Passmark results for the Core 5 220H are equally detailed. The multi-thread score is 21884, and the single-thread score is 3405. Integer math hits 73555, floating point math reaches 51671, and extended instructions score 14642. Data encryption scores 15216, data compression scores 247921, and random string sorting scores 28438. Physics scores 1478, and finding prime numbers scores 82.

The Core 5 220H holds an 80th percentile position among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 28574. Its nearest rivals in the database, based on average score, are the AMD EPYC 7203P (28583, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS (28549, 0.1% delta), the Intel Xeon E-2436 (28530, 0.2% delta), and the Intel Core i5-12600 (28646, -0.3% delta). The Core 5 220H essentially trades blows with these parts, sitting within a fraction of a percent of each one. The delta of -0.3% against the Core i5-12600 means the Core 5 220H trails that specific rival by a negligible amount in average score.

Because the Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries, its average benchmark score is 0, and it holds a 50th percentile position. The absence of data means the database cannot confirm any specific performance advantage for either chip in direct tests. The Core 5 220H is clearly a capable mobile processor based on its measured scores, but the Core i5-14501E's performance profile remains unquantified in the database.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture, using a 10 nm process node from Intel's own foundry. They share the same Raptor Lake Refresh generation lineage. However, they diverge significantly in configuration and intended platform.

The Core 5 220H is a mobile part, using the Intel BGA 1744 socket. It has 12 cores and 16 threads. The Core i5-14501E is a desktop part, using the Intel Socket 1700, with 6 cores and 12 threads. The Core 5 220H offers double the core count and 4 more threads, which suggests a structural advantage in heavily parallel workloads. The Core i5-14501E counters with higher clock speeds: a base clock of 3.30 GHz versus 2.70 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The Core 5 220H has 2 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Core i5-14501E has 1.25 MB per core. The Core 5 220H has 18 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Core i5-14501E has a larger 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The desktop chip has a die size of 215 mm²; the mobile chip's die size is not recorded.

Memory support is identical in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5, using a dual-channel memory bus. Neither has recorded memory bandwidth figures. ECC memory support is a distinguishing feature: the Core i5-14501E supports ECC memory, while the Core 5 220H does not. This positions the desktop chip for workstation or reliability-focused builds.

PCI Express connectivity differs. The Core 5 220H provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only), while the Core i5-14501E provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The desktop part offers double the CPU PCIe lanes, which can matter for multi-GPU setups or high-bandwidth I/O.

Integrated graphics are different. The Core 5 220H uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, a more substantial iGPU for a mobile part. The Core i5-14501E uses UHD Graphics 770, which is a more basic desktop-oriented solution. The TDP figures reflect the platform split: the Core 5 220H is rated at 45 W, while the Core i5-14501E is rated at 65 W.

Release dates differ by roughly six months. The Core i5-14501E launched on 2024-06-30, and the Core 5 220H launched on 2024-12-17. The Core 5 220H has a recorded launch MSRP of $342; the Core i5-14501E has no recorded launch MSRP. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not officially supported for either.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports a clear split based on platform and workload profile. The Core 5 220H is a mobile processor with a high core count, 12 cores and 16 threads, and a lower TDP of 45 W. Its measured benchmark scores are strong, placing it at the 80th percentile of all CPUs. The Core i5-14501E is a desktop part with fewer cores, 6 cores and 12 threads, a higher TDP of 65 W, and higher clock speeds. Its lack of benchmark scores in the database means its performance must be inferred from its specifications rather than measured results.

For multi-threaded tasks, the Core 5 220H should be favored based on core count alone. The 12-core configuration gives it a structural edge in parallel rendering, compilation, or content creation workloads. The measured Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11198 confirms it handles such tasks well. The Core i5-14501E, with 6 cores, would likely fall behind in these scenarios, but the database lacks scores to quantify the gap.

For single-threaded tasks, the Core i5-14501E has the advantage on paper. Its boost clock of 5.20 GHz is higher than the Core 5 220H's 4.90 GHz. This should translate to faster response in lightly threaded applications, though no benchmark data confirms it. The Core 5 220H's single-core scores are respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1853, but the desktop part's clock advantage is a meaningful differentiator.

The Core i5-14501E also offers ECC memory support, which the Core 5 220H lacks. This makes the desktop chip the only viable choice in the database for error-correcting memory configurations. Its larger 24 MB L3 cache and double PCIe lanes (16 versus 8) further favor it for desktop workloads that benefit from larger cache pools and more expansion capacity.

The Core 5 220H, with its Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, is better suited for mobile use where integrated graphics performance matters. The Core i5-14501E's UHD Graphics 770 is a more basic solution, and desktop users are more likely to pair it with a discrete GPU anyway. The 45 W TDP of the Core 5 220H makes it appropriate for thinner laptops, while the 65 W TDP of the Core i5-14501E suggests a full-size desktop cooling solution.
