Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 265H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark scores for the Intel Core i5-14501TE and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265H. The i5-14501TE has no recorded benchmark entries, while the Ultra 7 265H has an extensive set of Cinebench and Passmark results. This absence of comparative data means the analysis must rely on the Ultra 7 265H's absolute scores and its position relative to its nearest rivals, which the database does provide.

For the Ultra 7 265H, the recorded Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 19940, with a single-core score of 2080. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 12131 and single-core is 1712. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2989 multi-core and 307 single-core. These scores indicate a strong modern mobile processor, placing it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs in the database.

Passmark results for the Ultra 7 265H are equally detailed. The multi-thread score is 34027, and the single-thread score is 4334 (recorded twice in the data under slightly different test names). Integer math reaches 85479, floating point math hits 109123, and extended instructions score 26805. Data compression scores 334711, while data encryption is 26005. Random string sorting delivers 40742, and find prime numbers returns 335. Physics processing scores 2497.

The nearest rivals for the Ultra 7 265H provide context for these numbers. The Intel Core 7 251TE scores 41650, which is 0.1% lower than the Ultra 7 265H's average benchmark score of 41621. The Intel Core i7-14650HX scores 41576, 0.1% higher. The Intel Core i7-12850HX scores 41779, 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X scores 41376, 0.6% lower. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning the Ultra 7 265H sits in a very tight performance cluster around the 41600 average score mark.

No comparative wins can be assigned between the two processors because the i5-14501TE lacks any benchmark data in the database. The wins counter shows zero for both sides, which is accurate given the absence of head-to-head results.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265H is the only one of the two with measurable benchmark performance. It ranks in the 88th percentile for all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41621. The Intel Core i5-14501TE has no benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile, with an average score of zero. This is not a close comparison; the Ultra 7 265H delivers substantial recorded performance, while the i5-14501TE has none in the database.

The Ultra 7 265H's nearest rivals all fall within a 0.6% band of its average score, which indicates it is competitively positioned against other high-end mobile and desktop processors. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, a desktop part, trails by 0.6%, while the Intel Core i7-14650HX leads by 0.1%. This suggests the Ultra 7 265H is a capable performer for its mobile segment.

The i5-14501TE, despite having no benchmarks, is a desktop processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, a 5.10 GHz boost clock, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. It targets a different market segment entirely. The data does not support any performance claims for it, so the verdict must strictly favor the Ultra 7 265H based on recorded results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations and manufacturing processes. The Intel Core i5-14501TE uses Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's foundry. Its die size is 215 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 7 265H uses Arrow Lake architecture, specifically Arrow Lake-H, built on a 3 nm process at TSMC. No die size is recorded for the Ultra 7.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The i5-14501TE has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Ultra 7 265H has 16 cores and 16 threads. This means the Ultra 7 has more physical cores but no hyperthreading, while the i5 relies on hyperthreading to reach 12 threads from 6 cores.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The i5-14501TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Ultra 7 265H has 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and the same 24 MB of shared L3. The larger per-core caches on the Ultra 7 reflect its newer architecture.

Clock speeds are close but not identical. Both have a base clock of 2.20 GHz. The i5-14501TE boosts to 5.10 GHz, while the Ultra 7 265H boosts to 5.30 GHz. The Ultra 7 has a 0.20 GHz higher boost clock.

Memory support differs. The i5-14501TE supports DDR4 and DDR5, while the Ultra 7 265H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The Ultra 7 also has a recorded memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, while the i5 has no bandwidth figure. Both use a dual-channel memory bus and support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity varies. The i5-14501TE offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Ultra 7 265H offers Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the i5 uses UHD Graphics 770, while the Ultra 7 uses Arc Graphics 140T.

The market segments are different: the i5-14501TE is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the Ultra 7 265H is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 2049. The i5 has a TDP of 45 watts, and the Ultra 7 has a TDP of 28 watts. The i5 was released on 2024-06-30, and the Ultra 7 on 2025-01-12. Both are currently active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265H wins in every measurable benchmark category because it is the only processor with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19940 and single-core score of 2080 demonstrate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The Passmark multi-thread score of 34027 and single-thread score of 4334 reinforce this. The 88th percentile ranking places it among the top tier of all CPUs in the database.

The Ultra 7 265H also wins in architecture efficiency. Its 3 nm process at TSMC is more advanced than the 10 nm process of the i5-14501TE. The larger per-core caches (192 KB L1 and 3 MB L2 versus 80 KB and 1.25 MB) give it an advantage in cache-sensitive workloads. Its 16 cores, even without hyperthreading, provide more physical parallelism than the i5's 6 cores with 12 threads.

The i5-14501TE wins in areas that are not benchmark-related. It has a desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) rather than a mobile BGA package, which allows for desktop system integration. It offers more PCIe lanes (16 versus 8) for the CPU. It supports DDR4 memory in addition to DDR5, which gives it broader memory compatibility with existing systems. Its 45 watt TDP is higher than the Ultra 7's 28 watts, which may indicate headroom for sustained operation in desktop cooling environments, though no direct performance data confirms this.

In terms of integrated graphics, the Ultra 7 265H uses Arc Graphics 140T, while the i5-14501TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not provide benchmark scores for either integrated GPU, so no performance comparison can be made.

The market segment split is clear: the Ultra 7 265H is a mobile processor designed for laptops and compact systems, while the i5-14501TE is a desktop processor for socket-based builds. The Ultra 7's release date of 2025-01-12 is later than the i5's 2024-06-30, indicating a newer product generation.

For users who need recorded performance data, the Ultra 7 265H is the only option with scores. For users who need desktop-specific features like DDR4 support or 16 PCIe lanes, the i5-14501TE offers those capabilities, but without benchmark verification in the database.
