Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 338H Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows a clear split between these two processors, but it is heavily weighted toward one side. The Intel Core Ultra 5 338H holds every recorded benchmark win, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded scores in the database. This means the comparison is largely one-sided in terms of measurable performance, though the architectural and market positioning differences still matter.

The Core Ultra 5 338H wins across all tested workloads, from single-threaded tasks to heavily parallelized rendering. In Cinebench R23, it scores 16331 points in the multicore test and 2044 points in the singlecore test. Those numbers place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 33989. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H at 34083 (a delta of -0.3 percent), the Intel Core i7-12800HX at 33875 (a delta of 0.3 percent), the Intel Xeon 6353P at 33844 (a delta of 0.4 percent), and the AMD EPYC 4244P at 34220 (a delta of -0.7 percent). The data indicates the Core Ultra 5 338H sits in a competitive band where it trades small margins with those four processors, none of which exceed a 0.7 percent difference in either direction.

The i5-14501TE, by contrast, has no benchmark scores listed and holds a percentile rank of 50, which indicates it sits at the median of the database distribution based on its classification, not on measured results. Without recorded data, there is no basis to assign it any workload wins.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel generations and use fundamentally different designs. The i5-14501TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, built on Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. It uses a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². The Core Ultra 5 338H belongs to the Core Ultra Series 3, built on Panther Lake architecture with the Panther Lake codename. It uses a 3 nm process node, also from Intel, though its die size is not recorded.

Core counts differ substantially. The i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Core Ultra 5 338H has 12 cores and 12 threads. That means the Ultra 5 doubles the physical core count but does not use simultaneous multithreading, as its thread count matches its core count. The i5-14501TE uses hyperthreading to reach 12 threads from 6 cores.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The i5-14501TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core Ultra 5 338H has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ultra 5 has larger per-core caches at every level, but the i5-14501TE has more total L3 cache across the chip.

Memory support diverges as well. The i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration and includes ECC memory support. The Core Ultra 5 338H supports LPDDR5X memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, but has no ECC support. PCIe connectivity also differs: the i5-14501TE offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Core Ultra 5 338H offers Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics are different. The i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770, while the Core Ultra 5 338H uses Arc B370. The market segments differ as well: the i5-14501TE is a desktop part on Intel Socket 1700, while the Core Ultra 5 338H is a mobile part on Intel BGA 2540.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the i5-14501TE has no individual benchmark scores recorded. The Core Ultra 5 338H, however, has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark results that define its performance profile.

In Cinebench R15, the Core Ultra 5 338H scores 2504 in the multicore test and 305 in the singlecore test. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10213 multicore and 1441 singlecore. In Cinebench R23, the scores are 16331 multicore and 2044 singlecore. These results indicate a processor that scales well across increasing rendering workloads, with the multicore score growing from 2504 to 16331 as the benchmark complexity increases.

PassMark results for the Core Ultra 5 338H cover a wide range of operations. Integer math scores 64934, floating point math scores 84067, and extended instructions score 23906. Data compression scores 276539, data encryption scores 21367, and random string sorting scores 34082. Prime number finding scores 304, physics scores 2697, and multithread scores 28717. Single-thread performance is recorded twice, as passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, both at 4180.

The average benchmark score for the Core Ultra 5 338H is 33989. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H at 34083 (0.3 percent lower), the Intel Core i7-12800HX at 33875 (0.3 percent higher), the Intel Xeon 6353P at 33844 (0.4 percent higher), and the AMD EPYC 4244P at 34220 (0.7 percent lower). The data shows the Core Ultra 5 338H performs within a narrow band of these four processors, with the largest gap being less than 1 percent in either direction.

Since the i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores, there are no direct comparisons to make in any specific test. The only quantitative distinction available is the percentile rank: the Core Ultra 5 338H sits at the 84th percentile of all CPUs, while the i5-14501TE sits at the 50th percentile.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a straightforward selection based on measured performance. The Intel Core Ultra 5 338H has a complete set of benchmark results and a percentile rank of 84, placing it above the median of all tracked CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 33989 puts it in the same performance class as the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H, Intel Core i7-12800HX, Intel Xeon 6353P, and AMD EPYC 4244P, all within 0.7 percent of each other.

The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark scores and a percentile rank of 50, which places it at the median of the database distribution. Without measured results, the database cannot confirm any specific performance advantage for this processor. Its higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz compared to 4.70 GHz, its larger 24 MB L3 cache, and its ECC memory support are architectural distinctions, but they are not backed by recorded benchmark data.

For users selecting a processor strictly from the database measurements, the Core Ultra 5 338H is the only option with verified performance numbers. It wins every recorded benchmark by default, since the i5-14501TE has no scores to contest those results. The Core Ultra 5 338H also offers a lower TDP of 25 W versus 45 W, double the core count, a smaller 3 nm process node, and a higher memory bandwidth figure of 136.5 GB/s.

The i5-14501TE remains a viable desktop part based on its specifications: it uses the LGA 1700 socket, supports DDR4 and DDR5, includes ECC memory, and has a higher boost clock. But the database contains no measurements to substantiate its performance level. The verdict from the recorded data is clear: the Intel Core Ultra 5 338H is the processor with demonstrated benchmark performance, while the Intel Core i5-14501TE is a specification-only entry pending recorded results.
