Intel Core i5-14490F vs Intel Core i5-14501TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core i5-14490F and the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters for both processors are zero. Consequently, there are no score comparisons, delta percentages, or per-test victories to report from direct measurements.

What the database does provide is a full benchmark profile for the Intel Core i5-14490F and no benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE. The i5-14490F posts an average benchmark score of 38,149 across the recorded tests, placing it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T with an average score of 38,194 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38,103 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38,221 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38,261 (0.3% ahead). These deltas are all within 0.3%, indicating the i5-14490F sits in a tightly clustered performance band.

The i5-14490F’s multithreaded Cinebench results are substantial. It scores 2,318 in Cinebench R15 multicore, 9,660 in R20 multicore, and 23,000 in R23 multicore. Single-core results are 327 in R15, 1,363 in R20, and 3,247 in R23. PassMark results reinforce the pattern: 28,662 in multithread, 3,873 in single-thread, 87,844 in integer math, 66,558 in floating point math, 21,731 in extended instructions, 18,225 in data encryption, 340,026 in data compression, 35,608 in random string sorting, 2,093 in physics, and 122 in find prime numbers.

For the Intel Core i5-14501TE, the database lists no benchmark entries, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, but that figure is not attached to any measured benchmark result. The absence of scores means no quantitative comparison can be drawn from direct tests. The only comparative statements possible must come from architectural and specification differences, not from measured performance data.

The Verdict

The database does not contain enough measured performance data to issue a data-driven verdict on the Intel Core i5-14501TE. It has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons. The i5-14490F, by contrast, has a complete benchmark record with a percentile of 86 and an average score of 38,149. Any statement favoring one processor over the other would need to rest on the single available metric: the i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile, but the database does not show what score that percentile corresponds to, so it cannot be used as a meaningful comparison point.

From the specification data alone, the i5-14490F offers 10 cores and 16 threads, while the i5-14501TE offers 6 cores and 12 threads. The i5-14490F has a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, whereas the i5-14501TE has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The i5-14490F carries a 65 W TDP; the i5-14501TE carries a 45 W TDP. The i5-14501TE integrates UHD Graphics 770, while the i5-14490F has no integrated graphics. The i5-14501TE supports ECC memory; the i5-14490F does not.

A neutral reading says the i5-14490F is the only one of the two with measured performance in the database, and it is positioned in the top 14% of all CPUs. The i5-14501TE is unmeasured, so the database cannot confirm or deny its performance level. The i5-14501TE does appear to target a lower-power, feature-different segment based on its 45 W TDP, integrated graphics, and ECC support, but no benchmark evidence exists to validate its performance claims.

Architecture Differences

Both processors come from the Intel Core 14th Gen series, share the Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, and are built on Intel’s 10 nm process node. Both use the Intel Socket 1700 and have a die size of 215 mm². The core configurations differ significantly. The i5-14490F has 10 cores and 16 threads. The i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both have the same per-core L1 cache of 80 KB and per-core L2 cache of 1.25 MB, and both share a 24 MB L3 cache.

Clock behavior also diverges. The i5-14490F runs a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 5.00 GHz boost clock. The i5-14501TE runs a 2.20 GHz base clock and a 5.10 GHz boost clock. The higher boost clock on the i5-14501TE does not compensate for its smaller core count in multithreaded workloads, but the database provides no direct test to quantify that tradeoff.

Power and thermal targets separate the two clearly. The i5-14490F has a 65 W TDP. The i5-14501TE has a 45 W TDP. That 20 W difference suggests the i5-14501TE is built for lower sustained power draw, while the i5-14490F is positioned for higher sustained throughput. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, and both provide PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics mark another major split. The i5-14490F has no integrated graphics, meaning the system requires a discrete GPU for display output. The i5-14501TE includes UHD Graphics 770, allowing it to operate without a discrete graphics card. ECC memory support also differs: the i5-14501TE supports ECC memory, the i5-14490F does not. Both processors are locked, as neither has an unlocked multiplier. The i5-14490F has the part number SRN35, while the i5-14501TE has the part number Q49KSRNJN. The i5-14490F was released on 2023-12-31, and the i5-14501TE was released on 2024-06-30. Both are listed as active in production and target the desktop market segment.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins in any scenario that relies on measured performance, because it is the only one of the two with benchmark results in the database. Its 10-core, 16-thread configuration and 65 W TDP point toward workloads that scale with parallelism. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23,000 and the PassMark multithread score of 28,662 indicate strong throughput in rendering, compilation, and other multithreaded tasks. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3,873 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,247 show it also handles lightly threaded work well. The 86th percentile placement means it ranks above most recorded CPUs, and its nearest rivals sit within 0.3% of its average score, so it competes in a tight performance cluster.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE wins in feature-based scenarios that have no benchmark equivalent. Its 45 W TDP makes it the lower-power option. Its integrated UHD Graphics 770 allows a build to run without a discrete GPU. Its ECC memory support suits environments where data integrity is prioritized over raw speed. Its 5.10 GHz boost clock is 0.10 GHz higher than the i5-14490F’s 5.00 GHz, though the database provides no measured test showing that advantage in practice. The i5-14501TE also has a later release date of 2024-06-30, compared to 2023-12-31 for the i5-14490F.

For a system that must operate without a graphics card, require ECC memory, or stay within a 45 W power envelope, the i5-14501TE is the only choice between these two. For any workload where recorded performance matters, the i5-14490F is the only processor with data to support a claim. The database cannot assign a win to the i5-14501TE in any measured benchmark, because no scores exist for it. The i5-14490F holds every measured win by default, and the i5-14501TE holds the feature-set wins that do not depend on benchmarks.
