Intel Core i5-14401E vs Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core i5-14401E and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA. The head-to-head section for these two processors is empty, meaning no single test has been run that pits one against the other in the same workload. As a result, the analysis must rely on the recorded scores available for the Core i5-14401E and the architectural and specification data for the Core Ultra 5 235TA, which currently has no benchmark scores listed.

The Intel Core i5-14401E delivers a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1830 and a single-core score of 258. In Cinebench R20, it posts 7627 multicore and 1076 single-core. The R23 run shows 18161 multicore and 2564 single-core. These figures place the i5-14401E at the 60th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 5253.

The nearest rivals for the i5-14401E illustrate its standing. The Intel Xeon E5-2699A v4 averages 5259, which is 0.1% higher than the i5-14401E. The Intel Core i7-11700B averages 5241, which is 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i9-10850K also averages 5240, again 0.2% lower. The Intel Core i5-13400T averages 5210, which is 0.8% lower. These deltas are small, indicating that the i5-14401E sits in a tightly packed performance cluster where a 0.8% difference separates it from its closest competitors.

The Core Ultra 5 235TA has no benchmark entries in the database and an average benchmark score of zero. Its percentile is recorded at 50, which is lower than the i5-14401E's 60th percentile, but that percentile is based on no measured scores, so it should not be interpreted as a performance ranking. The absence of data means the only meaningful comparison must come from the architectural and specification fields.

The Verdict

From the recorded data alone, the Intel Core i5-14401E is the only one of the two with measured benchmark performance. It shows a solid multicore result of 18161 in Cinebench R23 and a single-core result of 2564. Its average benchmark score of 5253 and its position at the 60th percentile indicate that it performs above the median CPU in the database, with its nearest rivals all within a 0.8% range.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235TA cannot be benchmarked from the available information. It has no recorded scores, no rivals, and an average score of zero. Therefore, any verdict that claims one processor is faster than the other would be unsupported. The data shows that the i5-14401E has verified performance, while the 235TA has none.

For a buyer or system builder relying strictly on the database, the i5-14401E is the only option with concrete performance numbers. The 235TA may offer newer architecture and more cores, but without benchmark results, its actual performance relative to the i5-14401E is unknown. The verdict from the data is that the i5-14401E is the measurable choice, while the 235TA remains an unknown quantity until benchmark entries are added.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14401E wins in every category where a score exists. It has Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results for both multicore and single-core tests. The Core Ultra 5 235TA has no wins because it has no benchmark scores. The i5-14401E also holds a higher percentile at 60 versus 50 for the 235TA, though the latter's percentile is not derived from any measured performance.

For use cases that depend on verified multicore throughput, the i5-14401E delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18161. For single-threaded tasks, its R23 single-core score of 2564 provides a reference point. The 235TA offers 14 cores and 14 threads against the i5-14401E's 6 cores and 12 threads, but that core count advantage has no benchmark confirmation.

The 235TA does hold advantages in certain specification fields. It has a higher boost clock at 5.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz for the i5-14401E. It also supports DDR5 memory only, with a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, while the i5-14401E supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The 235TA uses a 3 nm process node from TSMC, whereas the i5-14401E uses a 10 nm process node from Intel. These are structural differences, not performance wins, since no benchmark data supports a performance conclusion.
