Intel Core i5-14501E vs Intel Core Ultra 5 238V Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core i5-14501E contains no benchmark scores, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 238V has a full set of measurements. This makes direct comparison impossible for the i5-14501E; the database only shows results for the Ultra 5 238V. The Ultra 5 238V posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,645 and a single-core score of 2,208. Its Cinebench R20 results are 6,570 multi-core and 927 single-core, with R15 scores of 1,576 multi-core and 222 single-core.

The PassMark suite for the Ultra 5 238V shows a multithread score of 18,407 and a single-thread score of 3,890. Integer math reaches 38,889, floating point math hits 53,160, and extended instructions score 15,377. Data compression scores 176,532, while data encryption reaches 13,072. The physics test scores 1,546, random string sorting scores 21,585, and prime number finding scores 174.

Without any benchmark entries for the i5-14501E, the data cannot attribute wins to either processor. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, with zero wins recorded for each side. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural specifications and the known performance class of the Ultra 5 238V, which occupies the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The i5-14501E sits at the 50th percentile, but that figure is derived from an average benchmark score of zero, so it reflects missing data rather than measured performance.

For context, the Ultra 5 238V has an average benchmark score of 21,981. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-11700F with an average score of 21,988, a delta of 0 percent, and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X at 21,992, also a 0 percent delta. The Intel Core Ultra 5 236V scores 21,952 with a 0.1 percent delta, and the AMD EPYC 9534 scores 21,900 with a 0.4 percent delta. These tight margins place the Ultra 5 238V squarely within a competitive cluster of desktop and server parts, despite being a mobile processor.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from entirely different design lineages. The Intel Core i5-14501E uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. It is built on Intel's 10 nm process node, with a die size of 215 mm². The Core Ultra 5 238V uses Lunar Lake architecture, part of the Core Ultra Series 2, and is fabricated by TSMC on a 3 nm process node. The die size for the Lunar Lake part is not recorded.

Core counts differ substantially. The i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads, indicating Hyper-Threading support. The Ultra 5 238V has 8 cores and 8 threads, with no hyper-threading indicated. Cache layouts diverge as well. The i5-14501E carries 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Ultra 5 238V has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and only 8 MB of shared L3. The Lunar Lake part uses larger per-core caches but a much smaller shared pool.

Clock speeds reflect their different roles. The i5-14501E has a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Ultra 5 238V runs at a 2.10 GHz base and a 4.70 GHz boost. Thermal design power differs drastically: the i5-14501E is rated at 65 watts, while the Ultra 5 238V is rated at 17 watts. This positions the i5-14501E as a desktop part for sustained performance and the Ultra 5 238V as a mobile part for efficiency.

Memory support also separates them. The i5-14501E supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus and includes ECC memory support. The Ultra 5 238V lists memory support as unknown, depending on the motherboard, but also uses a dual-channel bus and lacks ECC support. PCIe connectivity differs: the i5-14501E provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while the Ultra 5 238V provides Gen 5 with only 4 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics take different paths. The i5-14501E uses UHD Graphics 770, while the Ultra 5 238V uses Arc 130V. The market segments confirm the intended use: the i5-14501E targets desktop systems on Intel Socket 1700, while the Ultra 5 238V targets mobile systems on Intel BGA 2833. Both processors are currently active in production. The i5-14501E was released on 2024-06-30, and the Ultra 5 238V followed on 2024-09-23.

Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The i5-14501E carries part number Q49HSRNJM, and the Ultra 5 238V carries part number SRPN5SRPN4.

The Verdict

The database shows a clear asymmetry in available measurements. The Intel Core Ultra 5 238V has complete benchmark coverage and a 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average score of 21,981. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores at all and a 50th percentile figure that derives from a zero average score, which indicates missing data rather than a measured performance level.

For a mobile workload, the Ultra 5 238V delivers strong multi-threaded results despite its 17 watt TDP. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,645 and PassMark multithread score of 18,407 place it near desktop processors like the Intel Core i7-11700F and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, both within 0 percent delta of its average score. The single-core results are also solid, with a PassMark single-thread score of 3,890 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,208.

The i5-14501E cannot be assessed from benchmark data, but its specifications indicate a different design philosophy. The 65 watt TDP, 5.20 GHz boost clock, 24 MB of L3 cache, and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes suggest a desktop processor built for sustained compute and expansion capability. The Ultra 5 238V instead prioritizes low power consumption and integration, with 4 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and a smaller 8 MB L3 cache.

Users who need measured performance data should look to the Ultra 5 238V, as the database contains no comparable results for the i5-14501E. Users building a desktop system with ECC memory support, DDR4 or DDR5 flexibility, and a larger PCIe lane count would find those features only on the i5-14501E. The choice comes down to whether the workload matches the mobile efficiency profile of the Ultra 5 238V or the desktop feature set of the i5-14501E.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 238V wins in every measured benchmark category because the database contains no benchmark scores for the i5-14501E. The Ultra 5 238V delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,645 and a single-core score of 2,208. Its PassMark multithread score of 18,407 and single-thread score of 3,890 confirm balanced performance across both threaded and single-threaded workloads. The 75th percentile ranking and average score of 21,981 place it in the same performance band as desktop chips like the Intel Core i7-11700F and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X, a notable result for a 17 watt mobile processor.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on specifications that favor desktop deployment. Its 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes provide more expansion headroom than the Ultra 5 238V's 4 lanes. The 24 MB shared L3 cache is three times larger than the 8 MB pool on the Ultra 5 238V. The 5.20 GHz boost clock exceeds the 4.70 GHz of the Ultra 5 238V. DDR4 and DDR5 memory support with ECC gives the i5-14501E flexibility for workstation or server-style builds that the Ultra 5 238V cannot match.

The Ultra 5 238V wins on efficiency and integration. The 17 watt TDP is dramatically lower than the 65 watt TDP of the i5-14501E. The 3 nm TSMC process node is more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node used in the i5-14501E. The Arc 130V integrated graphics represent a newer GPU architecture than the UHD Graphics 770. The larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, 192 KB and 2.5 MB respectively, support the Lunar Lake design's focus on low-latency access.

The i5-14501E wins on multi-threading capability per core count. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it offers thread oversubscription that the 8-core, 8-thread Ultra 5 238V lacks. This matters for workloads that scale with thread count beyond physical cores. The i5-14501E also targets the desktop socket market with a replaceable Intel Socket 1700 package, while the Ultra 5 238V is soldered via Intel BGA 2833.

The data supports a straightforward split: the Ultra 5 238V is the only one of the two with measured performance results, and those results are competitive with established desktop processors. The i5-14501E offers a desktop feature set, including ECC, high boost clocks, and abundant PCIe lanes, but its actual performance remains unmeasured in the database. Buyers choosing between them should decide based on platform requirements, since the two parts are not interchangeable.
