Intel Core i3-14100T vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct comparison data for these two processors is incomplete. The database contains a full benchmark suite for the Intel Core i3-14100T, but no recorded benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and the win count for each processor is zero. Consequently, direct numerical comparisons between the two CPUs cannot be drawn from the recorded data.

The Intel Core i3-14100T, however, has a complete set of measurements. Its average benchmark score is 17648, placing it at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database. This indicates that the i3-14100T outperforms a substantial majority of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals provide context: the Intel Core i3-13100F scores 17653, a delta of 0%, and the Intel Core i7-1255U also scores 17656, again a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE trails at 17614, a delta of 0.2%, while the AMD EPYC 9374F leads at 17693, a delta of -0.3%. These figures show the i3-14100T sits squarely in a tight cluster of similarly performing CPUs, within a fraction of a percent of each rival.

Specific workloads for the i3-14100T reveal its strengths. In Cinebench R23 multithreaded rendering, it records 11612 points, while its single-core score is 1639. Cinebench R20 shows 4877 multi-core and 688 single-core, and Cinebench R15 shows 1170 multi-core and 165 single-core. Passmark tests further detail its behavior: multithread score of 13662, single-thread score of 3498, integer math at 40292, floating-point math at 31379, data compression at 152636, data encryption at 7881, extended instructions at 10414, physics at 973, random string sorting at 15579, and prime number finding at 56.

Since the i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries, its performance profile cannot be quantified. The database lists its average benchmark score as 0 and its percentile as 50, but these values reflect missing data rather than measured performance. Any statement about how the i5-14501TE compares to the i3-14100T in specific tests would be speculative, which this analysis avoids. The only definitive statement is that the i3-14100T has extensive recorded results, while the i5-14501TE has none in the database at this time.

FAQ

Q: Does the Intel Core i5-14501TE outperform the Intel Core i3-14100T in any benchmark?

A: The database contains no benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE. Its benchmark array is empty, and its average benchmark score is recorded as 0. Therefore, no performance comparison can be made from the available data.

Q: How does the Intel Core i3-14100T compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The i3-14100T has an average benchmark score of 17648. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17653 (0% delta), the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17656 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 (0.2% delta), and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17693 (-0.3% delta). These deltas place all four processors within a narrow performance band.

Q: What is the percentile ranking of the Intel Core i3-14100T?

A: The i3-14100T sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database, meaning it scores higher than roughly 71% of all recorded processors. The i5-14501TE is listed at the 50th percentile, but this figure reflects its lack of recorded benchmarks rather than measured performance.

Q: What are the cache specifications for each processor?

A: Both CPUs share the same L1 cache at 80 KB per core and the same L2 cache at 1.25 MB per core. They differ in L3 cache: the i3-14100T has 12 MB shared, while the i5-14501TE has 24 MB shared.

A: The i3-14100T has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The i5-14501TE has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The i5-14501TE reaches a higher boost frequency but starts from a lower base frequency.

Q: Do both processors support ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5?

A: Yes. Both the i3-14100T and the i5-14501TE support ECC memory, and both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Both also support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration.

The Verdict

The data does not support a performance verdict between the two processors. The Intel Core i3-14100T has a full set of benchmark results, with an average score of 17648 and a 71st percentile ranking. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile that is unsubstantiated by any measurements. A user seeking a processor with documented performance data would find the i3-14100T fully characterized. The i5-14501TE, by contrast, offers no measured results in the database, so its relative standing cannot be assessed. The choice between them, from a data perspective, depends entirely on whether recorded benchmarks are required. The i3-14100T delivers verified scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple Passmark workloads. The i5-14501TE delivers none. Without measurements, any preference for the i5-14501TE would rest on its specifications alone, not on demonstrated performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several core specifications. The i3-14100T uses 4 cores and 8 threads, while the i5-14501TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.70 GHz for the i3-14100T versus 2.20 GHz for the i5-14501TE. Boost clocks also differ: 4.40 GHz for the i3-14100T versus 5.10 GHz for the i5-14501TE. Thermal design power is 35 watts for the i3-14100T and 45 watts for the i5-14501TE. Die size differs as well: 163 mm² for the i3-14100T and 215 mm² for the i5-14501TE. L3 cache is 12 MB shared for the i3-14100T and 24 MB shared for the i5-14501TE. The integrated graphics differ: UHD Graphics 730 on the i3-14100T versus UHD Graphics 770 on the i5-14501TE. Release dates differ: January 7, 2024 for the i3-14100T and June 30, 2024 for the i5-14501TE. The i3-14100T has a launch MSRP of $134; the i5-14501TE has no recorded launch MSRP. Part numbers also differ: SRMX0 for the i3-14100T and Q49KSRNJN for the i5-14501TE.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same Raptor Lake architecture and the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both belong to Core 14th Gen and are built on a 10 nm process at Intel. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 and support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. Both support ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The core and thread counts differ, as noted, with the i5-14501TE offering 50% more cores and 50% more threads than the i3-14100T. The L1 and L2 caches are identical per core (80 KB and 1.25 MB respectively), but the total L3 cache doubles from 12 MB on the i3-14100T to 24 MB on the i5-14501TE. The i5-14501TE also uses a larger die (215 mm² versus 163 mm²), consistent with its additional cores and cache. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. The i5-14501TE draws more power (45 watts versus 35 watts), which aligns with its higher core count and boost clock.

Where Each One Wins

From the recorded data, the Intel Core i3-14100T is the only processor with measurable wins. It demonstrates strong single-thread performance with a Passmark single-thread score of 3498 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1639. Its multithreaded results are also solid: Cinebench R23 multi-core at 11612 and Passmark multithread at 13662. The i3-14100T handles data-heavy workloads well, as shown by its Passmark data compression score of 152636 and integer math score of 40292. Its floating-point math score of 31379 and extended instructions score of 10414 indicate capability in compute-oriented tasks. The physics score of 973 and random string sorting score of 15579 round out a broad workload profile. Data encryption at 7881 and prime number finding at 56 complete the Passmark suite.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE does not win any recorded benchmark because no benchmarks are recorded for it. Its higher core count, higher boost clock, larger L3 cache, and more capable integrated graphics (UHD Graphics 770 versus UHD Graphics 730) suggest potential advantages in multithreaded and lightly threaded scenarios, but the database contains no measurements to confirm such advantages. The i5-14501TE also has a 24 MB shared L3 cache, double that of the i3-14100T, which could benefit cache-sensitive workloads, and its 45 watt TDP allows for more sustained power draw. These are specification-based inferences, not data-backed conclusions. The i3-14100T, with its complete benchmark set, is the only processor in this comparison with documented wins across the tested workloads.
