Intel Core 7 253PTE vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE and Intel Core i9-14901TE serve different performance profiles despite sharing the same socket and power envelope. The Core 7 253PTE, based on Bartlett Lake, delivers a complete benchmark dataset showing strong multi-threaded and single-threaded results. The Core i9-14901TE, built on Raptor Lake-R, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which limits direct comparison to architectural and specification analysis.

The Core 7 253PTE wins in core count with 10 cores versus 8, and in thread count with 20 threads versus 16. This gives it a theoretical advantage in heavily parallel workloads. The i9-14901TE counters with a higher base clock of 2.30 GHz versus 1.80 GHz and a slightly higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 5.40 GHz. The database shows the Core 7 253PTE holds an 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the i9-14901TE sits at the 50th percentile, though this ranking reflects the absence of benchmark data for the latter.

For integrated graphics, the i9-14901TE uses UHD Graphics 770, while the Core 7 253PTE uses UHD Graphics 730. The i9-14901TE also includes a larger L3 cache at 36 MB shared versus 33 MB shared on the Core 7 253PTE. Die size differs as well, with the i9-14901TE at 257 mm² and no die size recorded for the Core 7 253PTE.

The Core 7 253PTE has recorded benchmark scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites, making it the only one of the two with measurable performance data. Its average benchmark score of 34962 places it within 0.1 percent of the Intel Core i7-13800H and Intel Core i9-12900HX, and 0.2 percent ahead of the Intel Xeon 6349P and AMD Ryzen 5 150. These close margins indicate the Core 7 253PTE operates in a tightly contested performance band.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a Core 7 generation label, while the i9-14901TE uses Raptor Lake-R with the Core 14th Gen series designation.

The i9-14901TE has a recorded die size of 257 mm², while the Core 7 253PTE has no die size entry.

The Core 7 253PTE carries a launch MSRP of $384, while the i9-14901TE has no launch MSRP recorded. Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning overclocking via multiplier adjustment is not supported. Production status for both is listed as Active. Release dates differ, with the i9-14901TE released on 2024-06-30 and the Core 7 253PTE released on 2026-03-08.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both items are zero. This means no measured performance deltas exist between the Core 7 253PTE and the i9-14901TE.

The Core 7 253PTE does have a full benchmark suite recorded. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2144 in multi-core and 302 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 8935 and single-core is 1261. Cinebench R23 shows a multi-core score of 21276 and single-core of 3003. These scores place the Core 7 253PTE in the 84th percentile among all CPUs.

Passmark results for the Core 7 253PTE cover a range of workloads. Data compression scores 275828, data encryption scores 15500, extended instructions score 17099, and finding prime numbers scores 82. Floating point math scores 67209, integer math scores 119552, multithread scores 25031, physics scores 1318, random string sorting scores 28227, and single-thread scores 3794.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Core 7 253PTE. The Intel Core i7-13800H shows an average score of 34988 with a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the Core 7 253PTE trails by a tenth of a percent. The Intel Core i9-12900HX shows an average score of 35003 with a delta of -0.1 percent, again a negligible gap. The Intel Xeon 6349P shows an average score of 34890 with a delta of 0.2 percent, meaning the Core 7 253PTE leads by two-tenths of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 150 shows an average score of 34881 with a delta of 0.2 percent, a similar margin.

These deltas indicate the Core 7 253PTE performs within a narrow band around these four rivals, none of which is the i9-14901TE. Without benchmark data for the i9-14901TE, any performance comparison between the two relies on specification differences rather than measured results.
