The Core 7 160UL uses 10 cores and 12 threads, while the i5-14401TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads. Both parts support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel buses. The Core 7 160UL boosts to 5.20 GHz from a 1.80 GHz base clock. The i5-14401TE boosts to 4.50 GHz from a 2.00 GHz base.

The thermal design power differs substantially. The Core 7 160UL has a 15 watt TDP, while the i5-14401TE has a 45 watt TDP. This suggests the Core 7 160UL targets lower-power scenarios, while the i5-14401TE aims at higher sustained performance. The i5-14401TE supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Core 7 160UL. The i5-14401TE also provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, whereas the Core 7 160UL provides PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Core 7 160UL includes Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units. The i5-14401TE includes UHD Graphics 730. The Core 7 160UL has 12 MB of shared L3 cache, while the i5-14401TE has 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Both use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core.

Release timing shows the Core 7 160UL arriving in April 2024, with the i5-14401TE following in June 2024. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 and the Raptor Lake architecture. The Core 7 160UL uses the Raptor Lake-PS codename, while the i5-14401TE uses Raptor Lake-R. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process. The i5-14401TE has a recorded die size of 215 mm², while the Core 7 160UL has no die size data.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear conclusion for benchmark-based comparisons: the Core 7 160UL has comprehensive recorded performance, while the i5-14401TE has none. Users requiring verified benchmark numbers must choose the Core 7 160UL. Its 69th percentile ranking places it above the i5-14401TE's 50th percentile. The average benchmark score of 14,232 for the Core 7 160UL stands against a zero average for the i5-14401TE.

The nearest rival data reinforces the Core 7 160UL's position. It sits within 0.6 percent of four competing processors, all of which score between 14,163 and 14,320 on average. This tight cluster indicates the Core 7 160UL delivers performance consistent with its peer group. The i5-14401TE cannot be placed in this cluster because no scores exist.

Users prioritizing ECC memory support should consider the i5-14401TE, as the Core 7 160UL lacks this feature. The i5-14401TE also offers more PCIe lanes and a newer PCIe generation. Its larger L3 cache of 20 MB compared to 12 MB may benefit cache-sensitive workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this. The i5-14401TE has a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.80 GHz, but a lower boost clock of 4.50 GHz versus 5.20 GHz.

The Core 7 160UL delivers more cores and a higher boost clock. Its 15 watt TDP suggests lower power consumption. The i5-14401TE's 45 watt TDP indicates higher power draw. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, so no price comparison is possible. Both are desktop market segments with active production status.

The die size of 215 mm² for the i5-14401TE provides a physical comparison point, while the Core 7 160UL lacks this measurement. The i5-14401TE has a part number of Q4T4SRNJP, while the Core 7 160UL's part number is listed as unknown. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
