Intel Core 7 150HL vs Intel Core i5-14401E Comparison

Intel Core 7 150HL and Intel Core i5-14401E are both active desktop processors on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, yet the recorded data shows two distinctly different designs. The Core 7 150HL is a 14-core, 20-thread part built on Raptor Lake-PS, while the Core i5-14401E is a 6-core, 12-thread part from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. The database contains a full set of Cinebench results for the i5-14401E, but the Core 7 150HL has no recorded benchmark scores, which shapes the analysis below.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark comparison is one-sided because the Core 7 150HL has no entries in the database’s benchmark suite. The Core i5-14401E, however, has six recorded Cinebench scores across three versions of the test. In Cinebench R15, the i5-14401E scores 1830 points in multi-core and 258 points in single-core. Moving to Cinebench R20, the same processor records 7627 points multi-core and 1076 points single-core. In the most recent Cinebench R23 run, the i5-14401E delivers 18161 points multi-core and 2564 points single-core.

Since the Core 7 150HL lacks any recorded scores, the head-to-head comparison cannot show a direct victory for either chip in any specific test. The data indicates that the Core 7 150HL has a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz) and a lower base clock (2.40 GHz versus 2.50 GHz), but clock speed alone does not translate into a benchmark win without measured results. The Core i5-14401E holds the only actual performance numbers in this comparison, with its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 placing it in the 60th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

The absence of Core 7 150HL benchmarks means the wins column is empty for both parts. The database’s head-to-head benchmark array is blank, and the wins counters show zero for both processors. What the data does show is that the i5-14401E’s average benchmark score of 5253 puts it just above the Intel Core i7-11700B (5241, 0.2% delta) and the Intel Core i9-10850K (5240, 0.2% delta), while sitting marginally below the Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 (5259, -0.1% delta). These nearest rival comparisons are the only quantitative context available for the i5-14401E.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for anyone prioritizing measured performance: the Intel Core i5-14401E is the only processor in this pair with recorded benchmark results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 and single-core score of 2564 are concrete data points, and its 60th percentile ranking against all CPUs indicates it sits above the median. The Core 7 150HL, by contrast, has a 50th percentile ranking and no benchmark scores, so any performance claim for it would rest solely on its core count and clock specifications.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the Core 7 150HL’s 14 cores and 20 threads suggest potential, but the i5-14401E’s 6 cores and 12 threads have actual numbers behind them. The i5-14401E also carries a 65 W TDP versus the Core 7 150HL’s 45 W TDP, which in the database indicates a higher power envelope. The i5-14401E supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Core 7 150HL, and offers PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while the Core 7 150HL is limited to PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. For a system builder who needs validated performance, ECC support, and a wider PCIe lane count, the i5-14401E is the defensible pick from the recorded data.

The Core 7 150HL’s case rests on its larger core count, higher boost clock, and larger shared L3 cache (24 MB versus 20 MB). It also uses Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, a more capable integrated GPU than the UHD Graphics 730 found in the i5-14401E. Without benchmark scores, however, the data cannot confirm whether those specifications translate into real-world wins. The verdict, strictly from the database, favors the i5-14401E because it has measurable results and a higher percentile ranking.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use Intel’s 10 nm process node and are built on the Raptor Lake architecture, but they come from different sub-families. The Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename, part of the Core 7 generation, while the Core i5-14401E uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Core 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) series. The die size differs as well: the i5-14401E has a reported die size of 215 mm², while the Core 7 150HL has no die size listed in the database.

The core configurations are substantially different. The Core 7 150HL packs 14 cores and 20 threads, while the i5-14401E has 6 cores and 12 threads. Cache layouts also diverge. Both use an 80 KB L1 cache per core, but the L2 cache per core is 2 MB on the Core 7 150HL versus 1.25 MB on the i5-14401E. The shared L3 cache is 24 MB on the Core 7 150HL and 20 MB on the i5-14401E. Neither processor has a 3D V-Cache.

Memory support is identical: both support DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, and neither has a recorded memory bandwidth figure. The integrated graphics differ, with the Core 7 150HL featuring Iris Xe Graphics 96EU and the i5-14401E using UHD Graphics 730. The i5-14401E supports ECC memory, a capability the Core 7 150HL lacks. PCIe connectivity is another major split: the Core 7 150HL offers Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only), while the i5-14401E provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Where Each One Wins

The Core i5-14401E wins in every category where the database has recorded measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18161 and single-core score of 2564 are the only concrete performance figures in this comparison. It also wins on platform features: ECC memory support is present, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes is available, and the 215 mm² die size is documented. The 65 W TDP is higher than the Core 7 150HL’s 45 W TDP, which in the database indicates a more power-hungry part, but that is a specification difference rather than a benchmark win.

The Core 7 150HL wins on paper in several specification categories. It has more than double the core count (14 versus 6), a higher thread count (20 versus 12), and a higher boost clock (5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz). Its L2 cache per core is 2 MB versus 1.25 MB, and its L3 cache is 24 MB versus 20 MB. The integrated Iris Xe Graphics 96EU is more capable than the UHD Graphics 730. The lower 45 W TDP suggests a more efficient power profile, though no efficiency benchmarks exist in the database.

The release dates differ: the Core 7 150HL was released in April 2024, while the Core i5-14401E followed in June 2024. Both are active production parts, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Core 7 150HL has no listed part number, while the i5-14401E uses part number Q49JSRNJS. Neither processor has a launch MSRP in the database, so no pricing information is available.
