Intel Core i5-14501E vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a complete benchmark suite for the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, all comparative analysis relies on the Ultra 5 225's measured scores and its position relative to nearby processors. The Core Ultra 5 225 delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 25,891 and a single-core score of 3,655. In Cinebench R20, it records 6,317 multi-core and 891 single-core. The R15 run shows 2,609 multi-core and 368 single-core. These results place the Ultra 5 225 at the 85th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 36,938.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for the Ultra 5 225's standing. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F posts an average score of 36,945, a delta of 0% relative to the Ultra 5 225. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37,018, which is 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 averages 37,093, 0.4% above. The Intel Core i9-12900T records 37,112, 0.5% higher. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating the Ultra 5 225 sits in a tightly contested performance cluster.

PassMark results for the Ultra 5 225 show a multi-thread score of 30,459 and a single-thread score of 4,412. Integer math scores 65,345, floating point math scores 92,038, and extended instructions score 27,162. Data compression reaches 302,811, while data encryption hits 22,285. Prime number finding scores 358, random string sorting scores 36,590, and physics simulation scores 2,342.

Because the i5-14501E lacks any recorded benchmark scores, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The database shows zero wins for the i5-14501E and zero wins for the Ultra 5 225 in the headToHeadBenchmarks field, meaning no direct paired tests exist. The analysis must therefore treat the i5-14501E as an unmeasured baseline and the Ultra 5 225 as the only quantified performer.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 wins exclusively in measurable performance, since it is the only chip with benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,891 indicates strong sustained threaded workloads. The single-core R23 score of 3,655 shows capable lightly threaded performance. The R20 and R15 results follow the same pattern, with the Ultra 5 225 leading across all recorded render tests.

PassMark's integer math score of 65,345 and floating point score of 92,038 suggest the Ultra 5 225 handles arithmetic-heavy tasks well. Data compression at 302,811 and encryption at 22,285 point to solid throughput in these specific workloads. The physics score of 2,342 reflects moderate performance in simulation tasks.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no wins because no benchmark scores exist for it. The database records its core configuration, clock speeds, and cache, but no measured performance data. Therefore, the i5-14501E cannot claim any workload advantage in this comparison. The Ultra 5 225 is the default choice across every benchmark category where data exists.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 in any scenario requiring measured performance. The Ultra 5 225 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,891 and a single-core score of 3,655, placing it at the 85th percentile overall. Its nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Core i9-12900T, sit within 0.5% of its average score, confirming the Ultra 5 225 is competitive in its class.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores, no percentile ranking beyond the 50th percentile default, and no nearest rivals. The database cannot substantiate any performance claim for the i5-14501E. Its specifications show 6 cores, 12 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost, and 24 MB L3, but without recorded measurements, these specs lack comparative weight.

Users seeking a processor with verified multi-threaded and single-threaded performance should select the Ultra 5 225. The chip's 10 cores and 10 threads, combined with its 3 nm process and 102.4 GB/s memory bandwidth, support its benchmark results. The i5-14501E's only advantages in the database are its DDR4 compatibility, ECC support, higher boost clock, and larger L3 cache, none of which are backed by performance data.

The Ultra 5 225's launch MSRP of $246 positions it as a quantified option. The i5-14501E has no launch MSRP recorded. Given the absence of i5-14501E benchmark results, the verdict is unambiguous: the Ultra 5 225 is the only defensible choice based on the recorded data.
