Intel Core 7 240H vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 240H and Intel Core i5-14401TE occupy different segments of the Intel lineup, and the recorded data reflects this clearly. The Core 7 240H is a mobile processor with a 10-core, 16-thread configuration, while the Core i5-14401TE is a desktop part with 6 cores and 12 threads. The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries, and the Core i5-14401TE has no individual benchmark scores recorded. Consequently, a direct numerical comparison across identical workloads is impossible from the available data.

The Core 7 240H, however, has a full benchmark suite recorded. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 15764, and its single-core score is 1719. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8562 multicore and 1208 single-core. The older R15 test shows 2360 multicore and 249 single-core. These figures establish a performance baseline for the mobile chip, but without corresponding scores for the i5-14401TE, a head-to-head delta cannot be computed.

The PassMark suite for the Core 7 240H shows a multithread score of 23975 and a single-thread score of 3782. Integer math reaches 80396, floating-point math 58905, and extended instructions 16897. Data encryption scores 15155, data compression 271774, and random string sorting 28866. Physics workloads score 1723, and find prime numbers scores 102. These are the only concrete benchmark numbers available in the database for either processor.

Because the i5-14401TE lacks recorded scores, the head-to-head comparison is limited to architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance deltas. The Core 7 240H holds an 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile. The average benchmark score for the Core 7 240H is 31483, whereas the i5-14401TE has an average score of 0 due to missing data. This percentile gap suggests the mobile chip generally outperforms the desktop chip in the broader CPU landscape, but the absence of direct measurements prevents a precise statement.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Core 7 240H is the only processor with measurable benchmark results. It wins every workload category by default, but the magnitude of its scores indicates where its strengths lie. The multicore Cinebench R23 score of 15764 and PassMark multithread score of 23975 show strong parallel processing capability, likely attributable to its 10 cores and 16 threads. Single-core performance is also solid, with a PassMark single-thread score of 3782 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1719.

The i5-14401TE, with 6 cores and 12 threads, would theoretically trail in heavily threaded tasks, but no benchmark data confirms this. Its 50th percentile ranking versus the Core 7 240H's 82nd percentile suggests the desktop chip sits in the middle of the performance distribution, while the mobile chip ranks higher overall. The database shows no wins for either processor in a head-to-head context, as no such tests exist.

For use-case segmentation, the Core 7 240H's data supports workloads involving encryption, compression, and math operations. Its passmark data compression score of 271774 is particularly high, and floating-point math at 58905 indicates competence in scientific or engineering calculations. The i5-14401TE offers no measured advantages in the database, but its desktop socket, Intel Socket 1700, and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes suggest it targets systems requiring expansion capability rather than raw benchmark dominance.
