Intel Core i5-14501TE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus Comparison

Intel Core i5-14501TE is a 6-core, 12-thread Raptor Lake Refresh part built on Intel's 10 nm process, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus is a 24-core, 24-thread Arrow Lake Refresh processor fabricated by TSMC on a 3 nm node. The benchmark database contains a complete set of measurements for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, but no recorded scores for the Core i5-14501TE, so all quantitative comparisons in this analysis rely exclusively on the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus's performance profile and its standing among rival processors.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark records for these two processors. The Core i5-14501TE has an empty benchmark array, yielding an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50 among all CPUs. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, by contrast, has 17 recorded benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of 93785, placing it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. Because the Core i5-14501TE has no measured results, no direct score-to-score wins can be established between the two parts from the recorded data.

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus's Cinebench results show a strong multi-threaded showing. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 44253, while its Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2439. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 24461 and the single-core result is 3453. The Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 6656, with a single-core score of 354. The gap between the multi-core and single-core figures reflects the processor's wide thread count, as the part has 24 threads available for parallel workloads.

PassMark results for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus further characterize its strengths. The multi-thread PassMark score is 68574, and the single-thread score is 5068. Integer math scores 175986, floating-point math scores 229491, and extended instructions score 63506. Data compression scores 804322, data encryption scores 59097, find prime numbers scores 615, random string sorting scores 96945, and physics scores 4064.

In the absence of Core i5-14501TE benchmark data, the database's relative positioning comes from percentile ranks. The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus sits at the 96th percentile, a far higher rank than the Core i5-14501TE's 50th percentile. The Core i5-14501TE's average benchmark score of 0 indicates that no measurements have been logged for it, whereas the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus's average of 93785 represents a substantial body of recorded results.

Where Each One Wins

For the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, the recorded data indicates clear strengths in heavily threaded workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44253 is roughly 18 times its single-core score of 2439, a ratio that demonstrates strong scaling across its 24 threads. PassMark multi-thread results of 68574 versus single-thread results of 5068 reinforce this pattern. Workloads that benefit from parallel execution, such as rendering, data compression (804322 in PassMark data compression), and encryption (59097 in PassMark data encryption), are where this processor records its highest scores.

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus also shows competitive standing against its nearest rivals in the database. Its average benchmark score of 93785 is essentially tied with the Intel Xeon 6520P, which scores 93786 with a delta of 0%. It trails the AMD EPYC 4564P by 1.5% (that chip scores 95183), the AMD EPYC 9175F by 1.9% (95615), and the AMD EPYC 4565P by 2.1% (95764). These small deltas place the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus in a tight cluster with enterprise-grade server processors, indicating that its recorded performance is competitive in that segment.

For the Core i5-14501TE, the database offers no benchmark wins to analyze. Its 6 cores and 12 threads suggest a lower parallel ceiling than the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus's 24 cores and 24 threads, but no measured scores exist to confirm any specific advantage. The Core i5-14501TE's lower TDP of 45 watts versus 125 watts for the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus indicates a different power envelope, but efficiency comparisons cannot be drawn from performance data that is absent.
