Intel Core i9-14900F vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database currently contains no head-to-head comparison results for these two processors. The `headToHeadBenchmarks` array is empty, meaning no direct benchmark scores have been recorded where both CPUs ran the same test under identical conditions. This absence of data is itself informative: the Intel Core i9-14900F has a substantial set of recorded benchmarks, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has none listed. The database shows zero benchmark entries for the 14901TE, which places its average benchmark score at 0 and its percentile ranking at 50 among all CPUs. The 14900F, by contrast, holds a percentile of 92 and an average benchmark score of 60008.

The 14900F delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39551 and a single-core score of 5583. Its Geekbench results show 20008 multi-core and 2570 single-core. PassMark scores include 46532 for multithread, 4506 for single thread, 177066 for integer math, 119550 for floating point math, 34644 for data encryption, and 564207 for data compression. These numbers establish a performance baseline for the 14900F, but without corresponding measurements for the 14901TE, a direct head-to-head comparison cannot be constructed from the recorded data.

What the data does show is that the 14900F sits within a competitive field based on its nearest rivals. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX averages 60099, which is 0.2% above the 14900F. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX also averages 60104, again 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D scores 59641, putting it 0.6% behind the 14900F. The Intel Xeon Gold 6338T averages 60572, which is 0.9% ahead. These deltas are narrow, indicating the 14900F operates in a tightly packed performance tier where single-digit percentage differences separate it from several strong competitors.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same underlying architecture: Raptor Lake, with the codename Raptor Lake-R and the generation label "Core i9 (Raptor Lake Refresh)". Both use a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel, and both have a die size of 257 mm². The socket is identical: Intel Socket 1700. Memory support matches as well: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with ECC memory supported on both. PCIe connectivity is also the same, with Gen 5 and 16 lanes from the CPU.

The core configuration diverges sharply. The 14900F has 24 cores and 32 threads. The 14901TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. This is a difference of 16 cores and 16 threads. The base clock on the 14900F is 2.00 GHz, while the 14901TE starts at 2.30 GHz. The boost clock favors the 14900F at 5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz on the 14901TE. Thermal design power also differs: the 14900F is rated at 65 watts, while the 14901TE draws 45 watts.

Cache structure is identical per core: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. Since the 14900F has three times as many cores, its total L2 capacity is correspondingly larger, but the per-core figures remain the same. The integrated graphics differ: the 14900F has no integrated graphics (listed as N/A), while the 14901TE includes UHD Graphics 770. This is a notable feature split, as the 14901TE can output display without a discrete GPU, while the 14900F requires one.

The release dates differ by nearly six months. The 14900F launched on January 7, 2024, while the 14901TE launched on June 30, 2024. Both are marked as Active in production status and both have locked multipliers. The 14900F has a launch MSRP of $524; the 14901TE has no recorded launch MSRP in the database.

The Verdict

The data presents an uneven comparison. The 14900F is a fully characterized processor with a rich set of benchmark results and a percentile ranking of 92 among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 60008 places it in close competition with several AMD Ryzen 9 parts, all within a 0.9% delta. The 14901TE, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a percentile of 50. The database cannot confirm how the 14901TE performs in any workload because no measurements exist.

Architecturally, the 14900F offers 24 cores and 32 threads versus 8 cores and 16 threads on the 14901TE. The boost clock is higher on the 14900F at 5.80 GHz versus 5.50 GHz, though the 14901TE has a higher base clock at 2.30 GHz versus 2.00 GHz. The 14901TE draws less power at 45 watts versus 65 watts and includes UHD Graphics 770, while the 14900F lacks integrated graphics entirely.

For users who require maximum multi-threaded throughput, the 14900F is the clear choice based on core count and recorded performance. For users who need integrated graphics or lower power consumption, the 14901TE offers those features, but its actual performance remains unquantified in the database. The 14900F carries a launch MSRP of $524, while the 14901TE has no recorded price.

Where Each One Wins

The 14900F wins in every category where recorded data exists. Its 24 cores and 32 threads provide a structural advantage in multi-threaded workloads such as rendering, compilation, and scientific computing. The recorded Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39551 and PassMark multithread score of 46532 quantify this capability. The single-core performance is also strong, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2570 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5583. The 14900F also has a higher boost clock at 5.80 GHz, which supports bursty single-threaded tasks.

The 14901TE wins in the areas of power efficiency and integrated graphics. Its 45 watt TDP is lower than the 14900F's 65 watts, meaning it can operate in more constrained thermal envelopes. The inclusion of UHD Graphics 770 allows the 14901TE to drive displays directly, which the 14900F cannot do. The 14901TE also has a higher base clock at 2.30 GHz, which may benefit lightly threaded workloads that stay at base frequency. However, without any benchmark scores in the database, the practical performance impact of these features cannot be measured.

The recorded nearest rivals for the 14900F show that it competes within a tight band of AMD Ryzen 9 processors. The Ryzen 9 7945HX and Ryzen 7 8745HX both edge ahead by 0.2%, while the Ryzen 9 7945HX3D trails by 0.6% and the Xeon Gold 6338T leads by 0.9%. These margins are small, indicating that the 14900F sits in a performance tier where architectural differences, not raw scores, separate the contenders. For the 14901TE, no such competitive context exists in the database, as its nearest rivals list is empty.
