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

The Intel Core 5 220H and the Intel Core i5-14501TE are both Raptor Lake refresh parts, but they are aimed at different market segments and have distinct performance profiles. The 220H is a mobile processor with 12 cores and 16 threads, while the 14501TE is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. The database contains a full set of benchmark results for the 220H, but the 14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores, which limits direct numerical comparisons to the architectural and specification differences between the two.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core 5 220H shows strong multi-core performance. In Cinebench R23, the 220H scores 11198 points in the multi-core test and 1853 points in the single-core test. The Cinebench R20 results show a multi-core score of 7812 and a single-core score of 1102. In Cinebench R15, the multi-core score is 1835 and the single-core score is 262. These figures indicate that the 220H delivers a solid balance of parallel and single-threaded processing power within its mobile envelope.

The PassMark suite provides additional detail on the 220H's capabilities. The multi-thread score is 21884, while the single-thread score is 3405 (listed twice in the database with identical values). The integer math test returns 73555, and floating-point math returns 51671. Data compression scores 247921, data encryption scores 15216, and extended instructions score 14642. The random string sorting test reports 28438, physics scores 1478, and the find prime numbers test returns 82. The average benchmark score for the 220H is 28574, and it sits at the 80th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

Since the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries in the database, there are no direct head-to-head score comparisons available. The database shows zero wins for either processor in the head-to-head section, as there are no paired test results. The 220H's nearest rivals provide context for its standing: the AMD EPYC 7203P has an average score of 28583 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS scores 28549 with a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Xeon E-2436 scores 28530 with a delta of 0.2%, and the Intel Core i5-12600 scores 28646 with a delta of -0.3%. This places the 220H within a narrow band of comparable processors, slightly ahead of the Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS and the Xeon E-2436, and slightly behind the EPYC 7203P and the Core i5-12600.

The 14501TE, in contrast, has a percentile ranking of 50 among all CPUs, indicating it is positioned at the median in the database, but without benchmark scores, its practical performance cannot be quantified from the recorded data.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 5 220H is the better choice for users who need multi-core throughput in a mobile platform. Its 12 cores and 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, deliver a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11198, which is a strong result for a 45 W TDP mobile processor. The 220H's 80th percentile ranking places it above the median, and its average benchmark score of 28574 is competitive with the nearest rivals in the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE, with 6 cores and 12 threads and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, is a desktop part that may appeal to users who prioritize single-threaded speed or who require ECC memory support. The 14501TE supports ECC memory, which the 220H does not, and it offers a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz compared to the 220H's 4.90 GHz. However, the absence of benchmark data for the 14501TE means its performance cannot be directly compared with the 220H from the database. The 14501TE's 50th percentile ranking suggests it sits at the median, but this is not backed by any recorded scores.

For workloads that depend on multi-core performance, such as rendering or compilation, the 220H has the evident advantage based on its core count and benchmark results. For applications that benefit from ECC memory or higher single-core boost clocks, the 14501TE offers those features, but the database provides no scores to confirm its actual speed. The choice between the two should be guided by platform needs: mobile versus desktop, and ECC versus non-ECC memory support.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Raptor Lake architecture and are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The codenames differ: the 220H uses Raptor Lake-H, while the 14501TE uses Raptor Lake-R. Both are part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation, though the 220H is listed as "Core 5" and the 14501TE as "Core 14th Gen" in the series field.

The core configurations differ significantly. The 220H has 12 cores and 16 threads, while the 14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives the 220H a 6-core advantage in raw parallel processing capacity. The cache hierarchy also differs: the 220H has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 18 MB of shared L3 cache, while the 14501TE has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core for both.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The 220H uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units, while the 14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both are listed as active production parts.

The 14501TE has a die size of 215 mm², while the 220H does not have a recorded die size in the database. The 220H is a mobile part with the Intel BGA 1744 socket, while the 14501TE is a desktop part with the Intel Socket 1700.

Specification Differences

The core counts are the most prominent difference: 12 cores and 16 threads for the 220H versus 6 cores and 12 threads for the 14501TE. The base clocks are 2.70 GHz for the 220H and 2.20 GHz for the 14501TE, while the boost clocks are 4.90 GHz and 5.10 GHz, respectively. The 14501TE has a higher boost clock by 0.20 GHz, but the 220H has a higher base clock by 0.50 GHz.

The TDP is identical at 45 W for both processors. The sockets are different, as noted. The 220H supports PCIe Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only), while the 14501TE supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), giving the desktop part twice the PCIe lane count.

Memory support is the same for both: DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel buses. ECC memory support differs: the 14501TE supports ECC, while the 220H does not. The integrated graphics differ in name and execution unit count, as described above.

The release dates differ, with the 220H launching on 2024-12-17 and the 14501TE launching on 2024-06-30. The 220H has a launch MSRP of $342, while the 14501TE has no recorded launch MSRP. The part numbers are SRQ6SQ5MM for the 220H and Q49KSRNJN for the 14501TE.
