Intel Core i5-14401TE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 236V Comparison

Intel Core i5-14401TE is a desktop processor from the Core 14th Gen series, built on the Raptor Lake architecture, while Intel Core Ultra 5 236V is a mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 2, built on the Lunar Lake architecture. The database contains no shared benchmark scores for the two processors, so a direct head-to-head comparison cannot be constructed from the recorded data. The analysis below relies on the available specifications and the benchmark scores recorded for the Core Ultra 5 236V, which places it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database has no overlapping benchmark entries for these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V has a comprehensive set of Cinebench and PassMark results. Without a common test, no direct numeric comparison is possible. The Core Ultra 5 236V shows an average benchmark score of 21952 and sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 238V with an average score of 21981, a delta of -0.1%; the Intel Core i7-11700F with an average score of 21988, a delta of -0.2%; and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X with an average score of 21992, a delta of -0.2%. The AMD EPYC 9534 scores 21900, placing the Core Ultra 5 236V 0.2% ahead of it.

For the Core Ultra 5 236V, the strongest recorded results come from the PassMark suite. The data compression test delivers a score of 176554, while floating point math reaches 52774. Integer math scores 38765, and extended instructions hit 15451. Random string sorting produces 21628, and data encryption scores 13049. The multithread test yields 18375, while physics scores 1503 and find prime numbers scores 171. Single thread performance is 3893 in the PassMark test. In Cinebench, the multicore scores are 1575 for R15, 6563 for R20, and 15628 for R23. Single core scores are 222 for R15, 926 for R20, and 2206 for R23.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE offers no such data, so its performance can only be inferred from its architecture and specifications. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. Its TDP is 45 watts. The Core Ultra 5 236V has 8 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its TDP is 17 watts. These figures suggest the Core Ultra 5 236V may have an advantage in power efficiency and potentially in single-threaded tasks, but the absence of benchmark data for the i5-14401TE prevents any quantified conclusion.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V is a fully benchmarked processor with a strong performance profile. It sits in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 21952 is closely matched by rivals such as the Intel Core i7-11700F and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, both within 0.2%. The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores recorded, so its relative performance cannot be established from the database. The Core Ultra 5 236V also has a lower TDP of 17 watts, a higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz, and more cores at 8, which likely gives it an edge in both efficiency and raw throughput, but this remains unverified by direct tests.

For users relying on the recorded data, the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V is the only option with measurable performance. The Intel Core i5-14401TE, with its 6 cores, 12 threads, and 45 watt TDP, may appeal to those needing a desktop processor with ECC memory support and a larger L3 cache, but no evidence exists in the database to confirm its performance level.

Release dates are 2024-06-30 for the i5-14401TE and 2024-09-23 for the Core Ultra 5 236V.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide is significant. The Intel Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, fabricated on a 10 nm process by Intel. Its die size is 215 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 5 236V uses the Lunar Lake architecture with the same codename, fabricated on a 3 nm process by TSMC. The cache layouts differ substantially. The i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core Ultra 5 236V has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14401TE has a larger shared L3 cache, while the Core Ultra 5 236V has larger per-core L1 and L2 caches. Both processors have dual-channel memory buses. The i5-14401TE is part of the Core i5 generation labeled Raptor Lake Refresh, while the Core Ultra 5 236V is part of the Ultra 5 generation labeled Lunar Lake. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core Ultra 5 236V wins in all measurable categories because it is the only processor with benchmark scores. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15628 and single core score of 2206 indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded capability. The PassMark multithread score of 18375 and single thread score of 3893 reinforce this. The Core Ultra 5 236V also benefits from a lower TDP of 17 watts, making it more suitable for mobile or power-constrained environments. Its 8 cores and higher boost clock of 4.70 GHz give it a theoretical advantage in workloads that scale with core count or peak frequency.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE, lacking benchmark scores, cannot claim any measured wins. Its advantages are structural: 12 threads versus 8, a larger 20 MB L3 cache versus 8 MB, ECC memory support, and 16 PCIe lanes versus 4. These features may favor desktop workloads involving large data sets, memory integrity, or multiple expansion devices, but the database provides no evidence of actual performance in these areas. The i5-14401TE also has a higher TDP of 45 watts, which may allow for sustained operation in desktop systems with adequate cooling, but again, no test data confirms this.
