Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core i7-14701E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the Intel Core i5-14501TE and the Intel Core i7-14701E. The benchmark records for the i5-14501TE are empty, with an average benchmark score of zero and no individual test entries. The i7-14701E, by contrast, has a substantial benchmark record across multiple Cinebench and PassMark workloads.

The i7-14701E posts an average benchmark score of 33,206, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals reinforce this positioning: the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33,201, a delta of 0 percent; the AMD Ryzen 5 8645HS scores 33,244, a delta of -0.1 percent; the AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33,091, a delta of 0.3 percent; and the Intel Core i7-13650HX scores 33,089, a delta of 0.4 percent. These margins, all within a fraction of a percent, indicate that the i7-14701E sits in a tightly contested performance band rather than leading or trailing decisively among its closest competitors.

Cinebench results for the i7-14701E show consistent multi-core strength. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 2,237 points, while single-core reaches 315. Cinebench R20 multi-core jumps to 9,321, and single-core to 1,315. Cinebench R23 multi-core delivers 22,195, with single-core at 3,133. The multi-core scores scale with the thread count, indicating strong parallel scaling across the 16 threads.

PassMark workloads for the i7-14701E reveal where its compute strengths concentrate.

Random string sorting achieves 29,158. Prime number finding, a workload sensitive to integer throughput and branch prediction, scores 176. The multithread PassMark score is 26,112, and the single-thread score is 4,305. Physics workload scores 2,399.

Since the i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries, the data provides no basis for stating which processor wins any specific workload. The wins count in the database shows 0 for the i5-14501TE and 0 for the i7-14701E, confirming the absence of comparative results. The analysis that follows must therefore focus on architectural and specification differences, plus an interpretation of the i7-14701E's recorded performance profile.

Architecture Differences

Both processors belong to Intel's Core 14th Gen series, share the Raptor Lake architecture, and use the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry, and both use the Intel Socket 1700. The integrated graphics are identical: UHD Graphics 770. Memory support matches as well: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC memory support enabled on both. PCIe configuration is the same: Gen 5, 16 lanes from the CPU only. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, and both share the same release date of 2024-06-30.

The core and thread counts differ substantially. The i5-14501TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the i7-14701E provides 8 cores and 16 threads. That is a 33 percent increase in cores and a 33 percent increase in threads for the i7-14701E, a structural advantage in any workload that scales with parallel execution.

Clock speeds also differ. The i5-14501TE has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The i7-14701E has a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The i7-14701E runs 0.40 GHz higher at base and 0.30 GHz higher at boost, giving it an advantage in single-threaded responsiveness as well as multi-threaded throughput.

Cache hierarchies diverge in both L2 and L3 capacities. Each core in the i5-14501TE has 1.25 MB of L2, while each core in the i7-14701E has 2 MB of L2, a 60 percent increase per core. L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. L3 cache is shared: 24 MB on the i5-14501TE versus 33 MB on the i7-14701E, a 37.5 percent increase. The larger L3 on the i7-14701E benefits workloads with repeated access to shared data structures across cores.

Die size differs as well: 215 mm² for the i5-14501TE versus 257 mm² for the i7-14701E. The i7-14701E's larger die accommodates the additional two cores, larger per-core L2, and larger shared L3. Transistor counts are not recorded for either part.

Thermal design power differs significantly: 45 watts for the i5-14501TE versus 65 watts for the i7-14701E. The i7-14701E draws more power to sustain its higher core count and clocks. The i5-14501TE's lower TDP suggests it fits into systems with more modest cooling and power delivery requirements, while the i7-14701E requires stronger thermal headroom.

Part numbers differ: Q49KSRNJN for the i5-14501TE, Q49FSRNJK for the i7-14701E. Market segment is Desktop for both. Production status is Active for both.

Where Each One Wins

The i7-14701E wins every workload category that the database records, simply because the i5-14501TE has no benchmark entries at all. The i7-14701E's recorded scores establish its capabilities: Cinebench R23 multi-core of 22,195 and single-core of 3,133, plus PassMark multithread of 26,112 and single-thread of 4,305.

For multi-threaded rendering and compute workloads, the i7-14701E's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with its 33 MB L3 cache, position it as the stronger choice. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,195 reflects that parallel capacity. Data compression and encryption workloads also favor the i7-14701E, with PassMark scores of 282,939 and 14,862 respectively, both benefiting from the additional cores and larger shared cache.

For single-threaded workloads, the i7-14701E's boost clock of 5.40 GHz gives it an edge over the i5-14501TE's 5.10 GHz. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,133 and PassMark single-thread score of 4,305 confirm its single-thread strength.

For integer-heavy and floating-point workloads, the i7-14701E delivers PassMark integer math of 81,325 and floating point math of 61,873. The extended instructions score of 18,528 indicates solid SIMD throughput. The prime number finding score of 176 and physics score of 2,399 round out the recorded profile.

The i5-14501TE's advantages are structural rather than benchmarked. Its 45 watt TDP is 20 watts lower than the i7-14701E's 65 watt TDP, making it the more thermally conservative option for systems with limited cooling or power budgets. Its 6-core, 12-thread configuration still supports modern workloads, and its 5.10 GHz boost clock provides respectable single-thread performance. The 24 MB L3 cache is substantial, and the identical UHD Graphics 770 means integrated graphics capability is the same on both.

Systems requiring maximum multi-threaded throughput, larger cache, and higher clocks should use the i7-14701E. Systems constrained by thermal design power or physical space for cooling should consider the i5-14501TE, accepting the trade-off in core count, cache, and clock speed. The database shows no benchmark results for the i5-14501TE, so any quantitative comparison between the two relies entirely on the i7-14701E's recorded performance and the specification differences listed above.
