Intel Core i5-14450HX vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-14450HX and Intel Core i5-14501TE occupy different positions in the database, yet direct benchmark comparisons are unavailable. The head-to-head benchmark field contains no recorded tests, and the wins counter shows zero for both processors. This absence of direct comparison data means the analysis must rely on the individual benchmark results for the i5-14450HX and the architectural characteristics of the i5-14501TE.

For the i5-14450HX, the recorded Cinebench results show a multicore score of 2026 in Cinebench R15, 8445 in Cinebench R20, and 20108 in Cinebench R23. Single-core scores reach 285 in R15, 1191 in R20, and 2838 in R23. PassMark results for the i5-14450HX include a multithread score of 23680, a single-thread score of 3643, integer math at 78330, floating-point math at 58037, data compression at 278538, data encryption at 15574, extended instructions at 17207, find prime numbers at 98, physics at 1475, and random string sorting at 29565. The average benchmark score for the i5-14450HX sits at 32040, placing it in the 82nd percentile among all CPUs in the database.

The i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile ranking is 50. This means the database holds no measured performance data for the i5-14501TE, so any performance conclusions must be drawn from its core configuration and clock specifications rather than from benchmark outcomes.

The nearest rivals to the i5-14450HX provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i7-13705H averages 32076 with a delta of minus 0.1 percent relative to the i5-14450HX, meaning the i7-13705H is effectively tied with the i5-14450HX. The Intel Core i5-14400 averages 32115 with a delta of minus 0.2 percent, the Intel Core i7-12800H averages 32121 with a delta of minus 0.3 percent, and the Intel Core i9-11900 averages 32226 with a delta of minus 0.6 percent. These deltas indicate the i5-14450HX trails each of these rivals by less than one percent in average benchmark score, a margin so small that the processors are statistically equivalent in the database's aggregate measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Raptor Lake architecture and both are manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process node, but their designs diverge in several meaningful ways. The i5-14450HX uses the Raptor Lake-HX codename and belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake-HX Refresh) generation, while the i5-14501TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. Both are part of the Core 14th Gen series.

Core counts differ substantially. The i5-14450HX contains 10 cores and 16 threads, while the i5-14501TE contains 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives the i5-14450HX a 4-core and 4-thread advantage, which typically translates into higher multicore throughput in threaded workloads.

Cache configurations also differ. Both processors have an L1 cache of 80 KB per core. The L2 cache is 2 MB per core on the i5-14450HX versus 1.25 MB per core on the i5-14501TE. The L3 cache is 20 MB shared on the i5-14450HX and 24 MB shared on the i5-14501TE. The i5-14501TE holds a 4 MB advantage in shared L3 cache, while the i5-14450HX holds a per-core L2 advantage.

Die size differs as well. The i5-14450HX measures 257 mm², while the i5-14501TE measures 215 mm². Both use the same 10 nm process node and Intel as the foundry.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The i5-14450HX has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The i5-14501TE has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The i5-14501TE reaches a higher boost frequency by 0.30 GHz, while the i5-14450HX has a higher base frequency by 0.20 GHz.

Thermal design power differs, with the i5-14450HX rated at 55 W and the i5-14501TE rated at 45 W. The 10 W difference suggests the i5-14450HX is designed for a higher sustained power envelope.

Socket types differ completely. The i5-14450HX uses Intel BGA 1964, a mobile socket, while the i5-14501TE uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop socket. This aligns with their market segments: the i5-14450HX is classified as mobile, and the i5-14501TE is classified as desktop.

Integrated graphics differ. The i5-14450HX includes UHD Graphics 710, while the i5-14501TE includes UHD Graphics 770. The i5-14501TE's integrated graphics tier is higher within Intel's naming scheme.

The multiplier is unlocked on the i5-14450HX and locked on the i5-14501TE. This means the i5-14450HX allows user-controlled multiplier adjustment, while the i5-14501TE does not.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, both support ECC memory, and both have PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Release dates differ. The i5-14450HX was released on 2024-01-07, while the i5-14501TE was released on 2024-06-30. The i5-14450HX has part number SRMXK, and the i5-14501TE has part number Q49KSRNJN. Both are listed as active in production status.

The Verdict

The data presents an asymmetric picture. The i5-14450HX has extensive benchmark measurements across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark tests, with an average score of 32040 and a 82nd percentile ranking. The i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores in the database, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking.

The i5-14450HX shows it can compete with processors that score within one percent of its average. The i7-13705H, i5-14400, i7-12800H, and i9-11900 all sit within a delta range of minus 0.1 to minus 0.6 percent relative to the i5-14450HX, meaning the i5-14450HX is effectively at parity with these four processors in aggregate benchmark performance.

The i5-14501TE's lack of recorded benchmarks means the database cannot confirm its performance level. The 50th percentile ranking is a default placeholder rather than a measured result, as indicated by the zero average benchmark score. Any performance claims for the i5-14501TE would have to be inferred from its specifications alone.

For the i5-14450HX, the recorded data supports conclusions. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20108 and single-core score of 2838 indicate a processor capable of strong threaded performance and respectable single-thread performance. Its PassMark multithread score of 23680 and single-thread score of 3643 reinforce this picture.

For the i5-14501TE, the data supports only specification-based reasoning. It has fewer cores and threads, a lower base clock, a higher boost clock, a smaller L2 cache per core, a larger L3 cache, a lower TDP, and a different socket. Without benchmark measurements, the database cannot rank its performance against the i5-14450HX or any other processor.

The verdict from the data is clear: the i5-14450HX is the only one of the two with recorded performance evidence, and that evidence places it in the 82nd percentile with near-parity to four established processors. The i5-14501TE remains unmeasured, so the database provides no basis for a performance comparison between the two.

Where Each One Wins

The i5-14450HX wins in core count, thread count, base clock, L2 cache per core, TDP rating, and multiplier unlocking. It has 10 cores versus 6, 16 threads versus 12, a base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 2.20 GHz, 2 MB L2 per core versus 1.25 MB, a 55 W TDP versus 45 W, and an unlocked multiplier versus a locked one. It also has extensive benchmark records, with an average score of 32040 and an 82nd percentile ranking.

The i5-14501TE wins in boost clock, L3 cache, integrated graphics, and release date recency. It reaches 5.10 GHz boost versus 4.80 GHz, has 24 MB shared L3 versus 20 MB, includes UHD Graphics 770 versus UHD Graphics 710, and was released on 2024-06-30 versus 2024-01-07.

For workloads that scale with core and thread counts, such as multithreaded rendering, video encoding, and compilation, the i5-14450HX has the structural advantage of 10 cores and 16 threads. Its higher base clock also favors sustained all-core workloads that stay within the 55 W power envelope.

For workloads that benefit from higher single-thread boost frequencies, such as lightly threaded applications, the i5-14501TE's 5.10 GHz boost clock provides a potential advantage, though no benchmark data confirms this. The larger 24 MB L3 cache could benefit cache-sensitive workloads, and the UHD Graphics 770 offers a higher tier of integrated graphics capability.

The socket difference dictates platform choice. The i5-14450HX requires a mobile platform with Intel BGA 1964, while the i5-14501TE requires a desktop platform with Intel Socket 1700. This distinction is fundamental for system builders.

The i5-14450HX's unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, which the i5-14501TE does not permit. This gives the i5-14450HX additional performance headroom for users who adjust multiplier settings.
