Intel Core i5-14400T vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for the Intel Core i5-14400T versus the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and neither processor records any wins in direct matchup data. Consequently, a direct numerical comparison of their benchmark scores cannot be constructed from the recorded measurements.

The Intel Core i5-14400T, however, has a substantial body of benchmark results in the database. Its average benchmark score stands at 27166, placing it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs tracked. This places it in close proximity to several established desktop and mobile processors. The data shows it is 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K, which averages 27097, and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, which averages 27051. Conversely, it trails the Intel Core i7-13700H by 0.7% (that chip averages 27355) and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G by 0.8% (that chip averages 27382). These delta percentages are marginal, indicating that the i5-14400T sits in a tightly contested performance band.

For the Intel Core i5-14401TE, the database lists no benchmark scores at all. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile stands at 50. With no entries in the benchmarks array and no nearest rivals listed, there is no empirical data to assess its performance relative to the i5-14400T or any other processor. The only measurable difference between the two parts in this comparison is structural, not derived from benchmark runs.

Architecture Differences

Both processors belong to the Core 14th Gen series, share the Raptor Lake architecture and the Raptor Lake-R codename, and are built on Intel's 10 nm process node. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 platform, and both have a die size of 215 mm². The integrated graphics are identical, with both featuring UHD Graphics 730. Memory support is also the same: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC memory enabled on both parts. PCIe connectivity is identical as well, offering Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Intel Core i5-14400T has 10 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. This represents a 4-core and 4-thread reduction for the 14401TE. Cache hierarchies are structured identically per core: 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. Since the L3 cache is shared and the same size, the 14401TE's fewer cores each have access to a larger proportion of that shared pool, but the total cache capacity is unchanged.

Clock speeds show a notable split. The 14400T has a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The 14401TE has a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz but the same boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The thermal design power differs, with the 14400T rated at 35 watts and the 14401TE rated at 45 watts. This combination is unusual: the 14401TE draws more power at its base clock but delivers less aggregate compute capacity due to fewer cores and threads.

The release dates differ. The 14400T was released on 2024-01-07, while the 14401TE was released on 2024-06-30. The 14400T has a launch MSRP of $221, while the 14401TE has no launch MSRP recorded in the database. Both processors have locked multipliers, so neither supports unlocked overclocking. Their part numbers are distinct, with the 14400T identified as SRN3N and the 14401TE as Q4T4SRNJP. Both are marked as Active in production status and target the Desktop market segment.

Where Each One Wins

For the Intel Core i5-14400T, the benchmark data provides a clear picture of its strengths. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 17189, while its single-core score is 2426. The Cinebench R20 results show 7219 multicore and 1018 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1732 multicore and 244 single-core. These results indicate a processor that handles both heavily threaded workloads and single-threaded tasks competently, with the multicore advantage being more pronounced.

PassMark results for the 14400T reinforce this pattern. Its multithread score is 20223, and its single-thread score is 3512. Integer math scores 65667, floating-point math scores 49139, and extended instructions score 14562. Data compression scores 235636, and data encryption scores 13244. Find prime numbers scores 73, random string sorting scores 25181, and physics scores 1244. These numbers show a well-rounded performer with particular strength in integer and floating-point math, which are common in computational workloads.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark data, so there is no empirical basis to claim any specific wins for it. Its architectural specifications, however, suggest a different operational profile. With fewer cores and threads, it would logically handle heavily parallel workloads less effectively than the 14400T, assuming similar per-core efficiency. The higher base clock of 2.00 GHz could provide better responsiveness in lightly threaded scenarios at lower sustained loads, but without benchmark scores, this remains speculative. The higher TDP of 45 watts versus 35 watts indicates it can sustain a higher power draw, which may support more consistent clock behavior under load, but the database does not provide measurements to confirm this.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear distinction between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14400T is a fully benchmarked part with a strong performance profile. Its average benchmark score of 27166 places it in the 79th percentile, and its proximity to established rivals like the Core i9-9900K and Ryzen 7 5700G, within 0.3% and 0.4% respectively, confirms it delivers competitive performance. Its 10 cores and 16 threads provide substantial parallel processing capability, and its 20 MB of shared L3 cache supports demanding workloads.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE is a benchmark enigma. With no scores in the database, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking, it cannot be assessed on measured performance. Its 6 cores and 12 threads represent a significant reduction in parallel capacity compared to the 14400T. The higher base clock and higher TDP do not compensate for the loss of 4 cores in threaded workloads, based purely on the architectural data available.

For users selecting between these two based on the recorded information, the 14400T is the only part with verified performance data. Its benchmark results indicate a capable desktop processor suitable for a wide range of tasks, from single-threaded applications to multithreaded rendering and computation. The 14401TE lacks any measured validation in the database, making its real-world performance unknown. The structural differences, particularly the core count, favor the 14400T for any workload that can use more than 6 cores, which encompasses most modern multitasking and content-creation scenarios.
