Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400F dominates every measurable performance category because it is the only part in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. The 14400F delivers an average benchmark score of 32279, while the 14401TE has no recorded scores at all. The 14400F's 10 cores and 16 threads give it a clear structural advantage over the 14401TE's 6 cores and 12 threads in multi-threaded workloads.

The 14401TE wins in power efficiency. Its 45 W TDP is 20 W lower than the 14400F's 65 W TDP, making it the preferred option for thermally constrained systems. The 14401TE also includes UHD Graphics 730, which allows a system to operate without a discrete graphics card. The 14400F requires a separate GPU because it has no integrated graphics.

The 14400F also wins on clock speed. Its 4.70 GHz boost clock exceeds the 14401TE's 4.50 GHz boost clock, and its 2.50 GHz base clock exceeds the 14401TE's 2.00 GHz base clock. These differences suggest the 14400F will deliver higher single-thread performance, though no direct benchmark confirms the 14401TE's actual behavior.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same fundamental architecture. They are built on Intel's Raptor Lake design, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, and belong to the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake Refresh generation label. Both use Intel's 10 nm process node, and both have a 215 mm² die size. The foundry is Intel for both.

The cache hierarchy is identical between the two. Each core has 80 KB of L1 cache, each core has 1.25 MB of L2 cache, and both share 20 MB of L3 cache. There is no 3D V-Cache on either part.

The critical architectural difference lies in core and thread counts. The 14400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the 14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. This means the 14400F has four additional cores and four additional threads. For workloads that scale with core count, such as rendering or compilation, this difference will be decisive.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel memory bus. Both support ECC memory. Both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The production status for both is listed as active.

The 14401TE includes UHD Graphics 730, while the 14400F has no integrated graphics. This is an architectural difference that affects system design: the 14401TE can function in a GPU-less configuration, while the 14400F cannot.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several specification fields. The 14400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the 14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. The 14400F has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, while the 14401TE has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz.

The TDP differs: the 14400F is rated at 65 W, and the 14401TE is rated at 45 W. The 14400F has no integrated graphics, while the 14401TE includes UHD Graphics 730.

The release dates differ. The 14400F was released on January 7, 2024, while the 14401TE was released on June 30, 2024. The 14400F has a launch MSRP of $196, while the 14401TE has no recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The part numbers differ: the 14400F is identified as SRN3RSRN47, while the 14401TE is identified as Q4T4SRNJP. The market segment for both is Desktop, and both use the Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Both share the same memory support (DDR4 and DDR5), dual-channel memory bus, ECC support, PCIe configuration (Gen 5, 16 lanes), process node (10 nm), die size (215 mm²), and cache structure.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core i5-14400F and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The wins counter shows 0 for both processors. The head-to-head benchmarks array is empty, which means there is no direct measurement comparing these two parts on any specific test.

However, the 14400F has a full suite of individual benchmark scores, while the 14401TE has none. The 14400F scores 2181 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 307 in Cinebench R15 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 9090 multi-core and 1283 single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21645 multi-core and 3055 single-core.

The 14400F also records Geekbench scores of 11268 multi-core and 2058 single-core. In PassMark tests, the 14400F scores 315521 in data compression, 16949 in data encryption, 19937 in extended instructions, 86 in find prime numbers, 61319 in floating point math, 81524 in integer math, 25470 in multithread, 1523 in physics, 32680 in random string sorting, and 3701 in single-thread tests.

The 14400F holds an 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32279. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U with an average score of 32233 and a delta of 0.1 percent, the Intel Core i9-11900 with an average score of 32226 and a delta of 0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS with an average score of 32354 and a delta of -0.2 percent, and the Intel Core i7-12800H with an average score of 32121 and a delta of 0.5 percent.

The 14401TE, by contrast, has a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs, an average benchmark score of 0, and no nearest rivals listed. This suggests the 14400F is positioned far above the 14401TE in overall performance, but the absence of 14401TE benchmark data means the gap cannot be quantified directly.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core i5-14400F for any performance-focused application. It has 10 cores and 16 threads, compared to 6 cores and 12 threads for the 14401TE. It has higher base and boost clocks. It has a complete set of benchmark scores, including an average benchmark score of 32279 and an 83rd percentile ranking. The 14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons.

The 14401TE is the choice for power-constrained systems. Its 45 W TDP is significantly lower than the 14400F's 65 W TDP. It also includes UHD Graphics 730, which makes it suitable for systems that do not use a discrete graphics card. The 14400F has no integrated graphics, so it requires a separate GPU.

The 14400F is the stronger processor for multi-threaded workloads, given its additional four cores and four threads. The 14401TE is the more efficient processor, given its lower TDP and integrated graphics. The recorded data does not include any direct comparison between the two, so the performance difference must be inferred from the specification differences and the 14400F's benchmark scores. The 14400F's 83rd percentile ranking versus the 14401TE's 50th percentile ranking reinforces the performance gap, but the 14401TE's zero average score suggests it has not been through the same benchmark process. Users seeking maximum performance should select the 14400F. Users prioritizing low power draw and integrated graphics should select the 14401TE.
