Intel Core i5-14401TE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 336H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the clear performance leader across every measurable benchmark in the database. The Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores, so all recorded wins belong to the Ultra 5 336H. This is not a close contest; the Ultra 5 336H delivers multi-core scores that place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while the i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero.

The use-case split is straightforward. The Ultra 5 336H is designed for mobile workloads where high thread counts and modern architecture matter. Its 16 cores and 16 threads give it substantial parallel processing capacity. The i5-14401TE, with 6 cores and 12 threads, targets desktop systems where the lower core count is offset by a higher base clock for single-thread responsiveness. However, without recorded benchmarks for the i5-14401TE, the database cannot verify any performance advantage for it.

For creators running Cinebench renders, the Ultra 5 336H shows exceptional multi-core results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991 is roughly 2.4 times its single-core score of 3387, indicating strong scaling across cores. The PassMark multi-thread score of 28545 and integer math score of 62070 further reinforce its suitability for heavily threaded tasks like video encoding, compilation, or scientific simulations.

The i5-14401TE, by contrast, has no data to support any specific workload advantage. Its lower TDP of 45 watts versus the Ultra 5 336H's 25 watts suggests it is not optimized for power efficiency, but the database records no thermal or power benchmark results. The desktop segment placement indicates it is intended for stationary systems, while the Ultra 5 336H's mobile segment placement indicates it is built for laptops and portable workstations.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel generations and manufacturing nodes. The Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, built on a 10 nm process. The Core Ultra 5 336H uses the Panther Lake architecture, specifically Panther Lake-H, built on a 3 nm process. This node difference is significant: the 3 nm process allows for denser transistors and lower power draw, which helps explain the Ultra 5 336H's lower 25 watt TDP despite having more than twice the core count.

Core configurations differ dramatically. The i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, meaning each physical core supports two threads via Hyper-Threading. The Ultra 5 336H has 16 cores and 16 threads, meaning each core is single-threaded. Despite having fewer threads than cores (16 versus 16 is equal, but 16 cores versus 6 cores is a massive difference), the Ultra 5 336H's higher core count gives it a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads.

Cache hierarchies are also distinct. The i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ultra 5 336H has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Per-core cache is substantially larger on the Ultra 5 336H: 2.4 times the L1 and 2 times the L2. However, the i5-14401TE has 2 MB more total L3 cache, which may help with shared data access across fewer cores.

Memory support differs. The i5-14401TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the Ultra 5 336H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The Ultra 5 336H has a recorded memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, while the i5-14401TE has no recorded bandwidth figure. The i5-14401TE supports ECC memory, which the Ultra 5 336H does not, making the desktop chip more suitable for error-sensitive server or workstation environments.

PCIe lanes also differ: the i5-14401TE provides 16 Gen 5 lanes from the CPU, while the Ultra 5 336H provides 12 Gen 5 lanes. Both are Gen 5, but the desktop chip offers more direct PCIe connectivity for expansion cards. Integrated graphics differ as well: the i5-14401TE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Ultra 5 336H uses Intel Xe3 Graphics, a newer architecture.

The socket and form factor diverge completely. The i5-14401TE uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket that allows for replaceable CPUs. The Ultra 5 336H uses Intel BGA 2540, a ball-grid array soldered directly to the motherboard, which is typical for mobile platforms. The i5-14401TE's die size is recorded at 215 mm², while the Ultra 5 336H has no die size data. Both processors have unlocked multipliers set to false, meaning neither supports overclocking.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the two processors. The only recorded benchmarks belong to the Core Ultra 5 336H, so all comparative analysis must rely on the Ultra 5 336H's absolute scores and its nearest rivals.

The Ultra 5 336H delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23991. For context, its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700HX, has an average benchmark score of 34554, which is only 0.2% higher than the Ultra 5 336H's average score of 34485. The Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333, 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X scores 34260, 0.7% lower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222, 0.8% lower. This clustering means the Ultra 5 336H performs within a narrow band of high-end mobile and desktop processors.

In Cinebench R20, the Ultra 5 336H scores 10076 multi-core and 1422 single-core. The multi-core score is over 7 times the single-core score, confirming excellent thread scaling. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2418 multi-core and 341 single-core, again showing strong multi-thread performance.

PassMark results show a similar pattern. The multi-thread score of 28545 is about 7.1 times the single-thread score of 4013. Integer math scores 62070, floating point math scores 82415, and extended instructions score 24542. Data compression scores 280340, while data encryption scores 21291. Prime number finding is the weakest result at 299, and random string sorting scores 34402. Physics scores 2682.

The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 3387 places the Ultra 5 336H among competitive mobile processors, though the nearest rivals data focuses on average scores rather than single-core results. The 84th percentile ranking across all CPUs indicates that the Ultra 5 336H outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database, including desktop parts from previous generations.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H in every measured category. It has more than double the core count, a more advanced 3 nm process, a lower TDP of 25 watts, and recorded benchmark scores that place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 34485 is competitive with the Intel Core i7-13700HX, Intel Core i5-13450HX, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, all within 0.8% of its score.

The Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of zero. It sits at the 50th percentile, which is the median position, but that percentile is not backed by any performance data in the database. Its advantages are structural rather than measured: it supports ECC memory, offers 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes versus 12, has 2 MB more L3 cache, and uses a socketed desktop platform that allows for CPU replacement. It also has a higher base clock of 2.00 GHz versus 1.90 GHz, though its boost clock is lower at 4.50 GHz versus 4.60 GHz.

For users who need multi-threaded performance in a mobile form factor, the Ultra 5 336H is the only choice with recorded evidence of capability. Its 16 cores, 115.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, and strong Cinebench and PassMark scores make it suitable for demanding portable workloads. For users who require ECC memory support or a desktop socket with more PCIe lanes, the i5-14401TE offers those features, but the database provides no performance verification for it. The verdict is that the Ultra 5 336H is the superior processor based on all available data, while the i5-14401TE remains unproven in the database's measurements.
