Intel Core 7 240H vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 240H and the Intel Core i5-14501E occupy different market segments, and the recorded data shows a clear performance gap in favor of the mobile part. The Core 7 240H has a comprehensive set of benchmark results in the database, while the Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores, making a direct numerical comparison impossible for specific tests. The Core 7 240H posts an average benchmark score of 31483, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs tracked. The Core i5-14501E, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of zero and sits in the 50th percentile, which indicates that the database has not yet captured any performance measurements for that processor.

The Core 7 240H's benchmark suite reveals strong multi-threaded capability. In Cinebench R23 multicore, it scores 15764 points, while its single-core score in the same test is 1719. The Cinebench R20 results show 8562 points multicore and 1208 points single-core. The Cinebench R15 results show 2360 points multicore and 249 points single-core. These numbers demonstrate a processor that scales well across core counts, which is expected given its 10 cores and 16 threads. The PassMark suite reinforces this, with a multithread score of 23975 and a single-thread score of 3782. The floating point math test yields 58905 points, while integer math reaches 80396 points. Data compression scores 271774, data encryption scores 15155, and extended instructions score 16897. Find prime numbers returns 102 points, random string sorting returns 28866 points, and physics returns 1723 points.

The nearest rivals for the Core 7 240H provide additional context. The Intel Core Ultra 3 205 shows an average score of 31473 with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX shows 31495 with a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225H shows 31508 with a delta of -0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-13500 shows 31510 with a delta of -0.1 percent. These figures place the Core 7 240H in a tight performance cluster, essentially indistinguishable from these competitors in aggregate scoring. The data indicates that the Core 7 240H sits right at the boundary between these rivals, with negligible percentage differences.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward conclusion: the Intel Core 7 240H is the only one of these two processors with recorded performance data, and that data shows a capable multitasking part. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark results in the database, so its performance cannot be quantified from the available information. The Core 7 240H delivers a 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, and its benchmark scores reflect strong throughput in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. The Core i5-14501E offers 6 cores and 12 threads with the same 5.20 GHz boost clock, but without any measured scores, the database cannot confirm how that configuration translates into real-world results.

The Core 7 240H's 82nd percentile ranking indicates that it outperforms the majority of tracked CPUs. The Core i5-14501E's 50th percentile ranking, combined with its zero average benchmark score, suggests that it has not been subjected to the same measurement process. Users seeking a processor with verified performance data should look to the Core 7 240H. Users considering the Core i5-14501E must rely on its specification sheet alone, as the database holds no test results for it.

The Core 7 240H's 45-watt TDP, combined with its mobile socket, positions it for laptops and other portable systems where power efficiency matters. Its Iris Xe Graphics 64EU provides integrated graphics capability for systems without a discrete GPU.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on base clock speed, with 3.30 GHz compared to 2.50 GHz for the Core 7 240H. It also has a higher TDP of 65 watts, which may indicate more sustained power delivery in a desktop chassis. The Core i5-14501E supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Core 7 240H, making it potentially suitable for error-sensitive workloads. Its PCIe Gen 5 implementation with 16 lanes doubles the CPU-attached lane count of the Core 7 240H, which could benefit systems with multiple high-bandwidth devices. The Core i5-14501E uses the Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform, and has a recorded die size of 215 mm². The Core i5-14501E was released earlier, on 2024-06-30, compared to the Core 7 240H's release on 2024-12-17.

The data shows that the Core 7 240H is the verified performer, with a full set of benchmark results and a high percentile ranking. The Core i5-14501E remains an unmeasured quantity in the database, with specifications that suggest a different use case but no recorded evidence of performance. The benchmark results for the Core 7 240H place it alongside the Intel Core Ultra 3 205, the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H, and the Intel Core i5-13500, all within a 0.1 percent delta of each other. This clustering indicates that the Core 7 240H delivers performance consistent with its immediate rivals, and the slight differences in average score are negligible.
