The 5.20 GHz boost clock supports this result. Its 88th percentile ranking places it far above the median CPU.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark wins in any category. Its 50th percentile rank indicates a mid-pack position, but the absence of scores means no specific workload can be credited to it from the database. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, 45 W TDP, and desktop socket suggest suitability for lower-power desktop builds, and its UHD Graphics 770 provides a more capable integrated GPU than the i7-14650HX's UHD Graphics 710. The 24 MB shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache are smaller than the i7-14650HX's 30 MB and 2 MB per core. The i5-14501TE also has a lower boost clock at 5.10 GHz versus 5.20 GHz.
