Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 235H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no overlapping benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235H. The head-to-head comparison table is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both processors. Consequently, a direct numerical comparison using identical tests cannot be constructed from the recorded data.

What can be stated is that the Intel Core Ultra 5 235H has a substantial body of benchmark results, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has none listed. For the Core Ultra 5 235H, the recorded scores include a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,598 and a single-core score of 3,613. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10,751 multi-core and 1,517 single-core. The Cinebench R15 results are 2,580 multi-core and 364 single-core.

PassMark results for the Core Ultra 5 235H show a multi-thread score of 30,091 and a single-thread score of 4,359. Data compression scores 301,979, data encryption 23,121, extended instructions 23,354, and floating point math 93,509. Integer math reaches 74,247, find prime numbers 239, physics 1,985, and random string sorting 36,208.

The absence of any benchmark data for the Core i5-14501TE means the database cannot place its performance on any absolute scale relative to the Core Ultra 5 235H. The Core Ultra 5 235H, however, sits at the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 37,522. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-13900HK, which scores 37,425, a delta of 0.3% above the 235H. The Intel Core i5-13600K scores 37,685, putting the 235H 0.4% behind that chip. The Core Ultra 5 225F scores 37,313, placing the 235H 0.6% ahead, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 37,762, with the 235H trailing by 0.6%.

These deltas are minuscule, indicating that the Core Ultra 5 235H performs within a tight band around these four rivals. The data does not support any claim of dominance for the 235H over these chips, nor does it indicate a deficit. The differences are fractions of a percent, well within typical run-to-run variance for many workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The dataset offers no benchmark results for the Intel Core i5-14501TE, so any performance win for that chip cannot be substantiated from recorded measurements. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural and feature differences to infer likely strengths.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H, with 14 cores and 14 threads, has a clear structural advantage in heavily parallel workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,598 and PassMark multi-thread score of 30,091 indicate a processor built for sustained multi-threaded throughput. The chip also shows strong single-thread performance with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,613 and a PassMark single-thread score of 4,359, placing it at the 85th percentile overall.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE, despite fewer cores, has a higher boost clock at 5.10 GHz compared to 5.00 GHz for the Core Ultra 5 235H. This suggests that in lightly threaded tasks where clock speed dominates, the i5-14501TE could hold an advantage, though no benchmark data confirms this. The i5-14501TE also supports ECC memory, which the Core Ultra 5 235H does not, making it a candidate for error-sensitive workloads.

The Core Ultra 5 235H has a higher base clock of 2.40 GHz versus 2.20 GHz for the i5-14501TE, and it supports a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, a figure absent for the i5-14501TE. The Core Ultra 5 235H also has a larger L1 cache per core at 192 KB versus 80 KB, and a larger L2 cache per core at 3 MB versus 1.25 MB, though the i5-14501TE has a larger shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 18 MB.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every measurable specification. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 235H has 14 cores and 14 threads. Base clocks are 2.20 GHz for the i5-14501TE and 2.40 GHz for the Core Ultra 5 235H. Boost clocks are 5.10 GHz and 5.00 GHz respectively.

Thermal design power differs markedly: the i5-14501TE is rated at 45 W, the Core Ultra 5 235H at 28 W. The sockets are incompatible: Intel Socket 1700 for the i5-14501TE, Intel BGA 2049 for the Core Ultra 5 235H. The process nodes are 10 nm for the i5-14501TE and 3 nm for the Core Ultra 5 235H, with foundries Intel and TSMC respectively.

Cache hierarchies diverge. The i5-14501TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Core Ultra 5 235H has 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. Memory support differs: the i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5, the Core Ultra 5 235H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. ECC memory is supported on the i5-14501TE but not on the Core Ultra 5 235H.

PCIe lanes differ: the i5-14501TE has 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes from the CPU, the Core Ultra 5 235H has 8. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770 for the i5-14501TE and Arc Graphics 140T for the Core Ultra 5 235H. Market segments are Desktop for the i5-14501TE and Mobile for the Core Ultra 5 235H. Release dates are June 30, 2024 for the i5-14501TE and January 12, 2025 for the Core Ultra 5 235H.

Architecture Differences

The Intel Core i5-14501TE is built on Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series. It belongs to the Core i5 generation labeled Raptor Lake Refresh. This is a 10 nm design from Intel's own foundry, with a die size of 215 mm².

The Intel Core Ultra 5 235H uses Arrow Lake architecture, specifically Arrow Lake-H, part of the Core Ultra Series 2. It is labeled Ultra 5 with an Arrow Lake-H generation. This is a 3 nm design from TSMC, with no die size recorded.

The core count difference is structural: the i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, indicating a traditional hyperthreading design where each core supports two threads. The Core Ultra 5 235H has 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning no hyperthreading is present, and each core provides a single thread. The higher core count compensates for the lack of thread doubling.

Cache organization reflects the architectural split. The i5-14501TE allocates 80 KB of L1 per core and 1.25 MB of L2 per core, with a large 24 MB shared L3. The Core Ultra 5 235H allocates 192 KB of L1 per core and 3 MB of L2 per core, with a smaller 18 MB shared L3. The larger per-core caches on the Core Ultra 5 235H suggest a design aimed at reducing memory latency per core, while the i5-14501TE's larger L3 provides more shared cache capacity.

The integrated graphics differ: UHD Graphics 770 on the i5-14501TE versus Arc Graphics 140T on the Core Ultra 5 235H. The Core Ultra 5 235H also lists a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, which the i5-14501TE does not specify. The PCIe configuration differs as well, with the i5-14501TE offering 16 Gen 5 lanes and the Core Ultra 5 235H offering 8 Gen 5 lanes.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear selection for users prioritizing heavy multi-threaded workloads, mobile deployment, and high memory bandwidth: the Intel Core Ultra 5 235H. Its 14 cores and 14 threads, combined with a 3 nm TSMC process, deliver a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,598 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 30,091. The chip achieves the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 37,522, and sits within 0.6% of four closely matched rivals. The 28 W TDP makes it suitable for systems where power efficiency matters, and the LPDDR5X memory support with 102.4 GB/s bandwidth targets fast, compact memory subsystems.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE, with no benchmark scores in the database, cannot be validated for any performance claim. Its specifications suggest a desktop-oriented part with a higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz and a larger 24 MB L3 cache. The 45 W TDP is higher than the Core Ultra 5 235H, indicating a less power-constrained design. ECC memory support and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes make it a plausible choice for desktop builds that require error correction and more expansion lanes.

For users who need a desktop processor with ECC support, a higher boost clock, and a larger shared L3 cache, the i5-14501TE is the only option between the two that offers these features. For users who need portable performance, a higher core count, a smaller process node, and a much larger body of validated benchmark results, the Core Ultra 5 235H is the data-backed pick. The absence of i5-14501TE benchmarks means any decision favoring it must rely on its specification sheet rather than measured performance.
