Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data in the database draws a clear line between these two processors. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core i9-14901E has a full suite of results. This means every measurable performance category currently belongs to the i9-14901E, from single-threaded tasks to heavily parallel workloads.

The i9-14901E delivers a strong showing in rendering workloads, as seen in the Cinebench suite. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25753 places it well ahead of typical desktop processors, and the single-core score of 3635 indicates solid per-thread performance that benefits lightly threaded applications. The i5-14501TE, lacking recorded scores, cannot be positioned in these same comparisons; the database simply has no measurements to analyze for it.

For productivity and computation-heavy tasks, the i9-14901E again dominates the available data. Its PassMark Integer Math score of 112736 and Floating Point Math score of 81089 suggest strong arithmetic throughput, while Data Encryption at 18571 and Extended Instructions at 17249 show capability in specialized workloads. The i5-14501TE's absence from these tests means the only conclusion the data supports is that the i9-14901E wins every benchmark where a score exists.

The i9-14901E also holds an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37911. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 at 37904, a 0% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at 37943, a -0.1% delta. This places the i9-14901E in a tight cluster with those processors, slightly behind the Ryzen 7 9700X but effectively level with the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The i5-14501TE, at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0, has no comparable data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the i5-14501TE has an empty benchmark array. Every score available belongs to the i9-14901E. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 25753 shows heavy multi-threaded rendering capability, while the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3635 indicates the processor sustains strong performance on individual threads. Cinebench R20 scores follow the same pattern, 10816 multi-core and 1526 single-core, and Cinebench R15 scores come in at 2595 multi-core and 366 single-core.

PassMark results expand the picture. The Multi-Thread score of 30298 and Single Thread score of 4354 align with the Cinebench data, confirming consistent performance across different benchmark suites. Data Compression at 288777 is the highest recorded PassMark score for this processor, suggesting that compression workloads benefit greatly from the i9-14901E's configuration. Integer Math at 112736 and Floating Point Math at 81089 provide a balanced arithmetic profile, while Random String Sorting at 39138 and Physics at 3041 round out the suite.

The i9-14901E's average benchmark score of 37911 places it at the 86th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, scores 37904, a 0% delta, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable in average performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X sits 0.1% higher at 37943, and the Intel Core 5 211E trails by 0.2% at 37829. The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is 0.3% behind at 37804. These margins are small, which indicates the i9-14901E competes in a very tight performance band among current desktop and embedded-class processors.

Specification Differences

The i5-14501TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the i9-14901E uses 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clock speeds differ, with the i5-14501TE at 2.20 GHz and the i9-14901E at 2.80 GHz. Boost clocks also differ, 5.10 GHz for the i5-14501TE and 5.60 GHz for the i9-14901E. Thermal design power separates the two as well, 45 watts for the i5-14501TE versus 65 watts for the i9-14901E.

Cache configurations are not identical. Both share an L1 cache of 80 KB per core, but the L2 cache differs, 1.25 MB per core on the i5-14501TE and 2 MB per core on the i9-14901E. The shared L3 cache also differs, 24 MB on the i5-14501TE and 36 MB on the i9-14901E. Die size varies accordingly, 215 mm² for the i5-14501TE and 257 mm² for the i9-14901E.

Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700, support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and include ECC memory support. Both feature Gen 5 PCIe with 16 CPU lanes and UHD Graphics 770. Neither has an unlocked multiplier, and both were released on the same date, 2024-06-30. The i5-14501TE carries part number Q49KSRNJN, while the i9-14901E carries Q49ESRNJH.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and both are fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The generation field lists both as Raptor Lake Refresh, with the i5-14501TE classified as Core i5 and the i9-14901E as Core i9. Despite the shared architecture, the physical implementations differ in core count, cache hierarchy, and die size, which explains the performance gap seen in the benchmark data.

The i9-14901E's additional 2 cores and 4 threads give it a structural advantage in parallel workloads. Its larger L2 cache per core, 2 MB versus 1.25 MB, and its larger shared L3 cache, 36 MB versus 24 MB, provide more on-die storage for frequently accessed data. The die size difference, 257 mm² versus 215 mm², reflects the larger core and cache layout. These architectural differences align with the i9-14901E's higher TDP of 65 watts versus 45 watts, which allows the processor to sustain higher clock speeds, 2.80 GHz base and 5.60 GHz boost, compared to the i5-14501TE's 2.20 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost.

Memory support is identical, DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode with ECC enabled, and both processors expose the same PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics solution is also the same, UHD Graphics 770. The architecture is therefore a shared foundation, but the i9-14901E uses a more fully populated implementation of that foundation.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to the Intel Core i9-14901E as the stronger processor in every benchmark category where measurements exist. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, 5.60 GHz boost clock, and 36 MB of L3 cache support a wide range of workloads, from single-threaded applications to multi-threaded rendering. The PassMark and Cinebench suites consistently show high scores, and the 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms its position in the upper tier of the database.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE presents a different profile. Its 6 cores, 12 threads, 5.10 GHz boost clock, and 24 MB of L3 cache suggest a more modest configuration, and its 45 watt TDP indicates lower power draw. The database contains no benchmark scores for this processor, so its actual performance cannot be quantified from the available data. The 50th percentile ranking reflects the absence of measurements rather than a measured result.

Users who need verified performance should select the i9-14901E, as its benchmark results demonstrate capability across rendering, encryption, compression, and arithmetic workloads. The i5-14501TE may appeal to those prioritizing lower TDP, but the database offers no performance evidence to support that choice. The data does not indicate a scenario where the i5-14501TE wins, because no winning data exists for it.
