Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors are not present in the database, so the comparison relies on the recorded benchmark suite for the Intel Core Ultra 9 288V and the architectural profile of the Intel Core i5-14501E. The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V delivers an average benchmark score of 23219, placing it at the 76th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-11900F at 23254 (0.2% higher), the AMD Ryzen 7 5800H at 23277 (0.2% higher), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 266V at 23297 (0.3% higher). The AMD EPYC 4124P trails slightly at 23167, a 0.2% lower score.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V shows strong multi-threaded performance in Cinebench tests. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score reaches 10178, while the single-core score is 1950. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 7069 and the single-core score is 997. The Cinebench R15 multi-core result is 1583, with a single-core result of 301.5. These figures indicate a processor that maintains consistent scaling across different rendering workloads.

PassMark results expand the picture. The multi-thread score is 19810, and the single-thread score is 4274. The floating-point math score of 59536 outpaces the integer math score of 44019, suggesting stronger throughput on floating-point operations. Data compression reaches 186521, while data encryption scores 14141. Extended instructions score 15613, random string sorting scores 22622, and find prime numbers scores 195. The physics score is 1637.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, which limits direct numerical comparison. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 5.20 GHz boost clock and 24 MB of shared L3 cache positions it as a desktop part with fewer threads than the Ultra 9 288V. The Ultra 9 288V, by contrast, has 8 cores but no hyper-threading, resulting in 8 threads total. The Ultra 9 288V benefits from a smaller 3 nm process node and higher per-core L1 and L2 caches, which likely contributes to its 76th percentile ranking versus the 50th percentile of the i5-14501E.

The single-core advantage of the Ultra 9 288V is visible in its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1950. The i5-14501E reaches a higher boost clock, but without recorded benchmarks, the actual single-core performance delta cannot be quantified. The database shows the Ultra 9 288V holding a 0.2% lead over the AMD EPYC 4124P and a 0.2% deficit against the Intel Core i9-11900F, which frames its performance tier precisely.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 9 288V wins on sustained multi-threaded rendering based on its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10178. The i5-14501E has no recorded scores, so any claim of a win for the desktop chip must remain qualitative. The Ultra 9 288V also wins in memory bandwidth potential with 136.5 GB/s, a figure the i5-14501E does not specify.

The Intel Core i5-14501E wins on thread count with 12 threads against 8, which can benefit workloads that scale with simultaneous multi-threading. It also wins on L3 cache capacity with 24 MB shared versus 12 MB shared. The i5-14501E supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving it broader compatibility with existing desktop platforms, while the Ultra 9 288V is limited to LPDDR5X. The i5-14501E also supports ECC memory, which the Ultra 9 288V does not.

The Ultra 9 288V wins on process node efficiency with a 3 nm node from TSMC versus a 10 nm node from Intel for the i5-14501E. The TDP difference reinforces this: 30 W for the Ultra 9 288V against 65 W for the i5-14501E. The Ultra 9 288V also carries the Arc 140V integrated graphics, compared to the UHD Graphics 770 in the i5-14501E.

For single-thread workloads, the Ultra 9 288V posts a PassMark single-thread score of 4274. The i5-14501E has no comparable figure in the database, so the win goes to the Ultra 9 288V by default of available data. The same applies to encryption, compression, and extended instruction workloads, all recorded for the Ultra 9 288V but absent for the i5-14501E.
