Intel Core i5-14401TE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 366H Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a stark contrast between two Intel processors aimed at different market segments. The Intel Core i5-14401TE is a desktop part with 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H is a mobile processor with 16 cores and 16 threads. Benchmark results for the Core Ultra 7 366H place it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Core i5-14401TE sits at the 50th percentile. This percentile gap alone indicates that the Core Ultra 7 366H delivers substantially higher performance in the recorded workloads.

For users building a desktop system with a socketed motherboard, the Core i5-14401TE is the only option between these two, as it uses Intel Socket 1700. The Core Ultra 7 366H uses Intel BGA 2540, a soldered mobile package. However, the data shows that the Core Ultra 7 366H delivers dramatically higher multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Core Ultra 7 366H scores 28477 points, a figure that reflects its 16-core configuration. The Core i5-14401TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so direct comparisons must rely on the architecture and core count differences.

The Core Ultra 7 366H is the clear choice for mobile users who need maximum compute throughput, as its benchmark scores demonstrate. The Core i5-14401TE serves a different role: a desktop processor with a lower core count, a 45 W TDP, and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The data indicates that the Core Ultra 7 366H belongs to a higher performance tier, while the Core i5-14401TE is positioned as a more modest desktop offering.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel generations and process nodes. The Core i5-14401TE uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, built on a 10 nm process with a die size of 215 mm². The Core Ultra 7 366H uses Panther Lake architecture, built on a 3 nm process. The process node difference is significant: 10 nm versus 3 nm, which affects transistor density and power efficiency.

Core counts differ substantially. The Core i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, indicating hyperthreading support. The Core Ultra 7 366H has 16 cores and 16 threads, meaning no hyperthreading but a much higher physical core count. Cache configurations also differ. The Core 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 7 366H has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core Ultra 7 366H has more L1 and L2 cache per core, while the Core i5-14401TE has a larger L3 cache.

Memory support differs as well. The Core i5-14401TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and it supports ECC memory. The Core Ultra 7 366H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, but no ECC support. The integrated graphics also differ: the Core i5-14401TE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Core Ultra 7 366H uses Intel X3e Graphics.

PCIe configurations differ. The Core i5-14401TE provides Gen 5, 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Core Ultra 7 366H provides Gen 5, 12 lanes (CPU only). The Core Ultra 7 366H has a lower TDP at 25 W compared to the Core i5-14401TE's 45 W, a notable difference given the former's higher core count. The boost clock also differs: the Core i5-14401TE boosts to 4.50 GHz, while the Core Ultra 7 366H boosts to 4.80 GHz. Both have a base clock of 2.00 GHz.

The release dates differ significantly. The Core i5-14401TE was released on June 30, 2024, while the Core Ultra 7 366H was released on January 4, 2026. Both processors are currently marked as Active in production status. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Core Ultra 7 366H wins in every recorded benchmark category, based on the available data. Its Cinebench scores show strong multi-threaded capability: 2870 in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 11960 in Cinebench R20 multi-core, and 28477 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Single-core scores are 405 in Cinebench R15, 1688 in Cinebench R20, and 4020 in Cinebench R23. These results indicate a processor that excels in both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads.

The PassMark results for the Core Ultra 7 366H provide further detail. In integer math, it scores 83695; in floating point math, 103615; in data compression, 327455; in data encryption, 25845; in extended instructions, 26901; in find prime numbers, 326; in multithread, 33429; in physics, 2880; in random string sorting, 39814; and in single thread, 4043. The data compression score of 327455 is particularly high, suggesting strong performance in archiving and file compression tasks. The floating point math score of 103615 indicates robust numerical processing capability.

The Core i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores recorded in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified. However, its architecture suggests certain advantages. It supports ECC memory, which the Core Ultra 7 366H does not, making it suitable for error-tolerant computing environments. It also supports DDR4 memory, which may offer broader compatibility with existing desktop platforms. The desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) allows for user-replaceable CPUs, unlike the soldered BGA 2540 package of the Core Ultra 7 366H. The larger L3 cache (20 MB versus 18 MB) could benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads, though the Core Ultra 7 366H's superior single-core score of 4020 in Cinebench R23 suggests its architecture is more efficient per clock.

The TDP difference is notable: the Core i5-14401TE has a 45 W TDP, while the Core Ultra 7 366H has a 25 W TDP. The data suggests the Core Ultra 7 366H delivers higher performance at a lower thermal envelope, a significant architectural achievement. However, the Core i5-14401TE's desktop segment allows for more robust cooling solutions, which could influence sustained performance in real-world scenarios.
