Intel Core i5-14501E vs Intel Core Ultra 5 338H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core i5-14501E and the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H. The absence of paired test data means the comparison must rely on each processor's standalone recorded scores and the contextual percentile information available for the Core Ultra 5 338H.

The Core Ultra 5 338H holds a substantial benchmark portfolio in the database. In Cinebench R23, it records a multi-core score of 16331 and a single-core score of 2044. The Cinebench R20 results show 10213 for multi-core and 1441 for single-core. The Cinebench R15 tests deliver 2504 multi-core and 305 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 28717, a single-thread score of 4180, integer math at 64934, floating point math at 84067, data compression at 276539, data encryption at 21367, extended instructions at 23906, prime number finding at 304, physics at 2697, and random string sorting at 34082.

The Core i5-14501E, however, has zero benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Core Ultra 5 338H, in contrast, shows an average benchmark score of 33989 and a percentile of 84. This percentile gap places the two processors at opposite ends of the recorded performance spectrum. The Core Ultra 5 338H sits in the top 16 percent of all CPUs in the database, while the Core i5-14501E sits exactly at the midpoint.

Because the Core i5-14501E lacks any recorded scores, no direct wins can be assigned to either processor. The wins counter shows 0 for both. The only measurable comparison comes from the Core Ultra 5 338H's nearest rivals, which provide context for its performance tier. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083, which is 0.3 percent higher than the Core Ultra 5 338H's 33989. The Intel Core i7-12800HX scores 33875, 0.3 percent lower. The Intel Xeon 6353P scores 33844, 0.4 percent lower. The AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, 0.7 percent higher. These deltas show the Core Ultra 5 338H trading positions within a tight cluster, essentially matching the Core Ultra 7 165H and the Core i7-12800HX.

The data indicates the Core Ultra 5 338H is a high-performing mobile processor, while the Core i5-14501E's absence of benchmark data prevents any quantitative comparison. The percentile difference alone confirms the Core Ultra 5 338H is the stronger part in the database's recorded measurements.

The Verdict

The recorded data points decisively toward the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H for any benchmark-driven selection. Its 84th percentile ranking versus all CPUs, combined with a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark scores, demonstrates a capable processor in the mobile segment. The Core i5-14501E, with zero benchmark results and a 50th percentile, offers no measured evidence of performance in the database.

The Core Ultra 5 338H's average benchmark score of 33989 places it within 0.7 percent of the AMD EPYC 4244P, within 0.3 percent of the Core Ultra 7 165H, and slightly ahead of the Core i7-12800HX and Intel Xeon 6353P. This proximity to higher-tier processors suggests the Core Ultra 5 338H delivers strong multi-threaded and single-threaded results for its class.

The Core i5-14501E cannot be recommended based on the database, as no scores exist to support any performance claim. The percentile value of 50 indicates a median position, but without actual test numbers, the data cannot confirm any specific capability. Users seeking a processor with verified benchmark data should choose the Core Ultra 5 338H, which has extensive recorded results across multiple test suites.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Core Ultra 5 338H has 12 cores and 12 threads. The Core i5-14501E runs a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Core Ultra 5 338H runs a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz.

Thermal design power differs significantly: the Core i5-14501E is rated at 65 watts, while the Core Ultra 5 338H is rated at 25 watts. The socket types are incompatible, with the Core i5-14501E using Intel Socket 1700 and the Core Ultra 5 338H using Intel BGA 2540.

Cache structures differ. The Core i5-14501E has an L1 cache of 80 KB per core, L2 of 1.25 MB per core, and L3 of 24 MB shared. The Core Ultra 5 338H has L1 of 192 KB per core, L2 of 2.5 MB per core, and L3 of 18 MB shared.

Memory support diverges completely. The Core i5-14501E supports DDR4 and DDR5, while the Core Ultra 5 338H supports only LPDDR5X. The Core i5-14501E supports ECC memory; the Core Ultra 5 338H does not. The Core i5-14501E has PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Core Ultra 5 338H has PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ: the Core i5-14501E uses UHD Graphics 770, and the Core Ultra 5 338H uses Arc B370. Market segments separate the two: the Core i5-14501E is a desktop part, and the Core Ultra 5 338H is a mobile part. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The Core i5-14501E is built on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh, using a 10 nm process node from Intel. Its die size is 215 mm². The Core Ultra 5 338H uses the Panther Lake architecture, specifically Panther Lake-H, on a 3 nm process node, also from Intel. The Core Ultra 5 338H has no recorded die size.

The generation labels reflect the architectural split: the Core i5-14501E belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation, while the Core Ultra 5 338H belongs to the Ultra 5 (Panther Lake-H) generation. The Core Ultra 5 338H's series is Core Ultra Series 3, while the Core i5-14501E is in Core 14th Gen.

Core counts and cache sizes indicate different design philosophies. The Core Ultra 5 338H doubles the core count to 12 but maintains 12 threads, suggesting a different scheduling approach. Its L1 cache per core is 192 KB versus 80 KB, and its L2 per core is 2.5 MB versus 1.25 MB, but its shared L3 is smaller at 18 MB versus 24 MB.

The process node difference is stark: 10 nm versus 3 nm. This architectural gap likely explains the thermal and power differences, with the Core Ultra 5 338H drawing 25 watts versus 65 watts. The Core Ultra 5 338H also includes a higher memory bandwidth figure of 136.5 GB/s, while the Core i5-14501E has no recorded bandwidth.

The Core Ultra 5 338H's PCIe lane count drops to 4, versus 16 on the Core i5-14501E, reflecting the mobile design's reduced expansion capability. The Core i5-14501E's larger L3 cache and higher boost clock suggest a desktop-oriented performance profile, while the Core Ultra 5 338H's smaller L3 and lower clocks prioritize efficiency and integration.

Where Each One Wins

The Core Ultra 5 338H wins in every measured category because the Core i5-14501E has no benchmark results. The Core Ultra 5 338H's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16331 and single-core score of 2044 establish it as a strong performer in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded tasks. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 28717 and single-thread score of 4180 reinforce this pattern.

For data-intensive workloads, the Core Ultra 5 338H delivers a PassMark data compression score of 276539 and data encryption score of 21367. Floating point math scores 84067, while integer math scores 64934. Extended instructions score 23906, and prime number finding scores 304. Physics simulation scores 2697, and random string sorting scores 34082.

The Core Ultra 5 338H's 84th percentile ranking places it among the top tier of CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 33989. Its nearest rivals, the Core Ultra 7 165H and AMD EPYC 4244P, score within 0.7 percent, meaning the Core Ultra 5 338H trades wins and losses within a narrow band.

The Core i5-14501E cannot claim any wins because the database contains no recorded scores for it. Its 50th percentile is a neutral marker, but without test data, no workload can be assigned to it with confidence. The Core i5-14501E's specifications suggest it targets desktop use with a 65-watt TDP and a 5.20 GHz boost clock, but the absence of benchmark evidence leaves its actual performance unverified in the database.

For users relying on recorded measurements, the Core Ultra 5 338H is the only processor with data supporting any workload claim. The Core i5-14501E remains an unquantified part, and the database cannot confirm where it would win or lose.
