Intel Core 5 330 vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain direct head-to-head benchmark runs between the Intel Core 5 330 and the Intel Core i5-14501TE, so a side-by-side comparison of identical workloads cannot be produced from recorded measurements. However, the Intel Core 5 330 carries a full set of benchmark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark entries in the database. This means the only quantitative performance statements possible come from the Core 5 330's own results and its percentile placement.

The Core 5 330 scores 13150 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1856 in Cinebench R23 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it records 5523 multi-core and 779 single-core. Cinebench R15 results are 1325 multi-core and 186 single-core. PassMark results for the Core 5 330 include a multithread score of 15471 and a single-thread score of 4088. Its PassMark data compression score is 145287, data encryption is 11076, extended instructions is 12808, integer math is 33258, floating point math is 43885, and prime number finding is 114. The physics score is 1201 and random string sorting is 17771.

The Core 5 330 sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18345. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-14100 with an average score of 18318, a delta of 0.1 percent, meaning the Core 5 330 is effectively tied with that chip. The Intel Core 7 360 has an average score of 18374, a delta of -0.2 percent, meaning the Core 5 330 trails by a negligible margin. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380, also -0.2 percent, and the Intel Core 3 305 scores 18302, a delta of 0.2 percent. These deltas are all within fractions of a percent, so the Core 5 330 positions itself as a mid-pack performer, not a standout, despite its strong individual test numbers.

Because the i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores in the database, no exact performance gap can be stated between the two processors. The only recorded fact is that its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, while the Core 5 330 sits at 72. That percentile gap suggests the Core 5 330 outperforms the i5-14501TE in the database's overall ranking, but the absence of direct test scores for the i5-14501TE prevents any precise numeric comparison of Cinebench or PassMark results.

Architecture Differences

The Core 5 330 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, built on Intel's 3 nm process node. The i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process node. The foundry for both is Intel, but the process difference is substantial: 3 nm versus 10 nm. The Core 5 330 has no listed die size, while the i5-14501TE has a die size of 215 mm².

Core configuration differs. The Core 5 330 has 6 cores and 6 threads, meaning no hyper-threading. The i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, meaning it supports simultaneous multi-threading. Both are 6-core parts, but the i5-14501TE doubles the thread count. Clock speeds also differ. The Core 5 330 has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The i5-14501TE has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The i5-14501TE has a higher base and boost clock, while the Core 5 330 has a lower thermal envelope.

Cache layouts are not directly comparable. The Core 5 330 lists L1 cache as 192 KB total, L2 as 2.5 MB total, and L3 as 6 MB shared. The i5-14501TE lists L1 as 80 KB per core, L2 as 1.25 MB per core, and L3 as 24 MB shared. With 6 cores, the i5-14501TE's per-core L1 and L2 figures translate to roughly 480 KB L1 and 7.5 MB L2 total, but the database only records the per-core values. The i5-14501TE's 24 MB shared L3 is four times the Core 5 330's 6 MB shared L3.

Memory support differs. The Core 5 330 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, with a single-channel memory bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. The i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5, with a dual-channel memory bus and no recorded memory bandwidth. The i5-14501TE also supports ECC memory, while the Core 5 330 does not.

PCIe support differs. The Core 5 330 uses Gen 4 with 6 lanes (CPU only). The i5-14501TE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The i5-14501TE has significantly more PCIe lanes and a newer generation, which affects expansion capability. Integrated graphics differ as well. The Core 5 330 uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The market segments differ: the Core 5 330 is mobile, while the i5-14501TE is desktop. Sockets differ: the Core 5 330 uses Intel BGA 1516, while the i5-14501TE uses Intel Socket 1700. The i5-14501TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with a Raptor Lake Refresh generation, while the Core 5 330 has no series listed and belongs to the Core 5 (Wildcat Lake) generation. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 330 wins in the database's overall ranking. Its 72nd percentile among all CPUs beats the i5-14501TE's 50th percentile. The Core 5 330 also has a much lower TDP at 15 W versus the i5-14501TE's 45 W, which makes it the more power-efficient part. Its 3 nm process node is smaller than the i5-14501TE's 10 nm node, and it supports LPDDR5X memory, which the i5-14501TE does not. Its integrated Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores is a newer graphics architecture. The Core 5 330 has a recorded memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s, while the i5-14501TE has no recorded memory bandwidth. The Core 5 330 also has a launch MSRP of $309, while the i5-14501TE has no listed launch MSRP.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins on raw specifications that favor desktop workloads. It has 12 threads versus 6, a higher base clock of 2.20 GHz versus 1.50 GHz, and a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. Its 24 MB shared L3 cache is four times larger than the Core 5 330's 6 MB. It supports dual-channel memory, while the Core 5 330 is single-channel. It supports ECC memory, which the Core 5 330 does not. Its PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes is a generation newer and has more lanes than the Core 5 330's Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The i5-14501TE also supports DDR4 memory, which the Core 5 330 does not. The i5-14501TE is a desktop part with a Socket 1700, while the Core 5 330 is a mobile part with a BGA 1516 socket. The i5-14501TE has a die size of 215 mm², while the Core 5 330 has no listed die size.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors aimed at different ends of the market. The Intel Core 5 330 is a mobile processor, built on a 3 nm node with a 15 W TDP, designed for low-power systems. It has a launch MSRP of $309 and an average benchmark score of 18345, placing it at the 72nd percentile. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.2 percent of its average score, so its performance class is well established. The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a desktop processor, built on a 10 nm node with a 45 W TDP, designed for socketed systems. It has no benchmark scores in the database, so its real-world performance cannot be quantified from recorded data.

For workloads that benefit from higher thread counts, the i5-14501TE is the clear choice on paper. Its 12 threads, higher clocks, and 24 MB L3 cache give it a structural advantage in multi-threaded desktop tasks. For power-sensitive or mobile use, the Core 5 330 is the only option, as it is the only mobile part of the two. The Core 5 330's single-channel memory bus and 6 MB L3 cache limit its performance ceiling, but its 3 nm node and 15 W TDP make it a more efficient processor. The i5-14501TE's dual-channel memory, ECC support, and Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes make it the more expandable desktop processor.

The database's percentile ranking favors the Core 5 330, though the i5-14501TE's lack of recorded scores makes that comparison incomplete. Buyers choosing between these two should decide based on platform: a mobile, lower-power system points to the Core 5 330, while a desktop system with ECC memory and higher thread demands points to the i5-14501TE. The Core 5 330's 72nd percentile and average score of 18345 confirm it as a competent performer in its class, but the i5-14501TE's specification sheet, with more threads, more cache, and a faster boost clock, suggests it would win in any multi-threaded desktop workload if benchmark data were available.
