Intel Core i5-14400F vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14400F has a full set of recorded measurements, while the Intel Core i5-14501E currently has no benchmark entries in the database. This makes a direct numerical comparison impossible from the recorded data alone.

The i5-14400F posts an average benchmark score of 32279 across its tested workloads. It sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rivals show how tightly grouped the competition is at this performance level. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32233, a delta of 0.1% against the i5-14400F. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, a 0.2% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which puts it 0.2% ahead of the i5-14400F. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, a 0.5% deficit. These margins are small enough that the i5-14400F trades blows with a wide range of mobile and desktop parts from previous generations.

Looking at the specific workloads recorded for the i5-14400F, the multithreaded results are strong. Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 21645, while Cinebench R20 multicore hits 9090 and Cinebench R15 multicore lands at 2181. Geekbench multicore scores 11268. The PassMark multithread test records 25470. Single-thread results are also solid: Cinebench R23 singlecore scores 3055, Cinebench R20 singlecore scores 1283, Cinebench R15 singlecore scores 307, Geekbench singlecore scores 2058, and PassMark single thread scores 3701.

The specialized PassMark workloads reveal the chip's character. Integer math scores 81524, floating point math scores 61319, and extended instructions score 19937. Data compression scores 315521, while data encryption scores 16949. Random string sorting scores 32680. Find prime numbers scores 86, which is a comparatively modest result. Physics scores 1523.

Because the i5-14501E has no benchmark entries, the database shows zero wins for each processor in head-to-head comparisons. The percentile data tells the broader story: the i5-14400F sits at the 83rd percentile, while the i5-14501E sits at the 50th percentile. The i5-14501E also has an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the absence of recorded measurements rather than actual performance.

Architecture Differences

Both processors come from Intel's Core 14th Gen series, use the Raptor Lake architecture, and share the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process node with a 215 mm² die size. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 and target the desktop market segment. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The core configurations differ significantly. The i5-14400F has 10 cores and 16 threads. The i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. This four-core and four-thread gap is the largest architectural divide between the two parts. Clock speeds also differ. The i5-14400F has a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 4.70 GHz boost clock. The i5-14501E has a 3.30 GHz base clock and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The i5-14501E runs at higher clocks in both directions, with a 0.80 GHz advantage at base and a 0.50 GHz advantage at boost.

Cache hierarchies differ in the L3 portion. Both parts use 80 KB of L1 per core and 1.25 MB of L2 per core. The shared L3 cache is 20 MB on the i5-14400F and 24 MB on the i5-14501E. That gives the i5-14501E 4 MB more shared L3 cache despite having fewer cores.

Integrated graphics separate the two parts clearly. The i5-14400F has no integrated graphics, marked as N/A. The i5-14501E includes Intel UHD Graphics 770. This is a practical difference for system builders who want a display output without a discrete GPU.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration. Both support ECC memory. Both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Both have a 65 W TDP. Both are listed as Active in production status.

The release dates differ. The i5-14400F was released on January 7, 2024. The i5-14501E was released on June 30, 2024. The i5-14400F has a launch MSRP of $196. The i5-14501E has no launch MSRP recorded in the database. The part numbers also differ: SRN3RSRN47 for the i5-14400F and Q49HSRNJM for the i5-14501E.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several specification fields. Core count: 10 cores for the i5-14400F versus 6 cores for the i5-14501E. Thread count: 16 threads versus 12 threads. Base clock: 2.50 GHz versus 3.30 GHz. Boost clock: 4.70 GHz versus 5.20 GHz. Shared L3 cache: 20 MB versus 24 MB. Integrated graphics: N/A versus UHD Graphics 770. Release date: January 7, 2024 versus June 30, 2024. Launch MSRP: $196 versus no recorded value. Part number: SRN3RSRN47 versus Q49HSRNJM.

Fields that are identical include the architecture (Raptor Lake), codename (Raptor Lake-R), process node (10 nm), foundry (Intel), die size (215 mm²), L1 cache (80 KB per core), L2 cache (1.25 MB per core), memory support (DDR4, DDR5), memory bus (dual-channel), ECC support (true), PCIe configuration (Gen 5, 16 lanes CPU only), TDP (65 W), socket (Intel Socket 1700), market segment (desktop), production status (Active), and multiplier unlock status (false).

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an asymmetric picture. The Intel Core i5-14400F is a fully measured processor with an average benchmark score of 32279 and an 83rd percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.5% of its average score, include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, Intel Core i9-11900, AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, and Intel Core i7-12800H. This places the i5-14400F in well-established performance territory.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark data in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking and zero average score reflect missing measurements, not measured performance. The specification sheet shows a processor with fewer cores but higher clocks, more L3 cache, and integrated graphics. Those specifications cannot be translated into benchmark expectations without recorded test results.

For users who need verified performance numbers, the i5-14400F is the only choice with actual data. For users who want a processor with integrated graphics and higher clock speeds, the i5-14501E offers those features on paper, but no measured results exist to confirm how they translate into real-world performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14400F wins on measured performance data. It has a complete benchmark profile across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, Geekbench, and nine PassMark workloads. Its 83rd percentile ranking and average score of 32279 provide concrete reference points. The i5-14501E has none of these measurements.

The Intel Core i5-14400F wins on core and thread count. Ten cores and 16 threads give it a structural advantage for heavily threaded workloads, assuming the database eventually records comparable benchmark results for the i5-14501E.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on clock speeds. Its 3.30 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost clocks exceed the i5-14400F's 2.50 GHz base and 4.70 GHz boost clocks. This suggests a potential advantage in lightly threaded or single-core workloads, though no benchmark data confirms it.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on L3 cache capacity. Its 24 MB shared L3 cache exceeds the i5-14400F's 20 MB. The 4 MB difference could benefit workloads with larger working sets.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on integrated graphics. The inclusion of UHD Graphics 770 means a system can output display without a discrete GPU. The i5-14400F requires a separate graphics card for any display output.

The Intel Core i5-14400F wins on release timing and pricing transparency. Its January 7, 2024 release date and $196 launch MSRP are both recorded. The i5-14501E has a later release date of June 30, 2024 and no launch MSRP in the database.
