Intel Core i9-14901TE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 245T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T arrives with a full suite of recorded benchmark results, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry means the comparison is driven entirely by the Ultra 5 245T's measured performance and its position among rivals.

The Core Ultra 5 245T posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26208 and a single-core score of 3699. The R20 run shows 11007 multi-core and 1553 single-core, while the R15 test records 2641 multi-core and 372 single-core. These results place the chip at the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

The average benchmark score for the Ultra 5 245T is 38194. The nearest rivals cluster tightly around this figure. The AMD Ryzen 7 250 scores 38221, a delta of -0.1 percent relative to the Ultra 5 245T. The Intel Core i5-14490F scores 38149, a delta of 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i5-13600HX scores 38261, a delta of -0.2 percent. The Intel Core i5-13600KF scores 38103, a delta of 0.2 percent. The recorded data shows the Ultra 5 245T sits within a narrow 0.4 percent band across these four rivals, meaning the performance envelope is essentially level with each of them.

PassMark results for the Ultra 5 245T show a multi-thread score of 30833 and a single-thread score of 4367. Integer math reaches 88676, floating point math reaches 108499, and extended instructions score 22071. Data compression records 283812, data encryption records 23656, and random string sorting records 34931. The physics test scores 2278, and the find prime numbers test scores 324.

Because the i9-14901TE has no benchmark scores in the database, there is no head-to-head delta to report. The wins tally stands at zero for the i9-14901TE and zero for the Ultra 5 245T in direct comparisons. The database records no shared benchmark entries between the two processors, so all performance interpretation for the i9-14901TE must rely on its specification profile rather than measured results.

The Ultra 5 245T's percentile rank of 86 indicates it outperforms the large majority of all CPUs tracked in the database. Its average score of 38194 places it in a competitive tier where the nearest rivals, all within 0.2 percent, trade positions depending on workload. The i5-13600KF is the fastest of the four rivals by raw score at 38103 relative to the Ultra 5 245T's 38194, a gap of 0.2 percent in favor of the Intel part. The i5-13600HX trails by 0.2 percent, and the Ryzen 7 250 trails by 0.1 percent.

Where Each One Wins

The Core Ultra 5 245T wins in every measurable category because it is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26208 and single-core score of 3699 define its performance envelope. PassMark integer math at 88676 and floating point math at 108499 indicate strong compute throughput for mixed workloads. Data compression at 283812 is the highest individual PassMark score in its suite, suggesting the chip handles compression tasks particularly well. Data encryption at 23656 and extended instructions at 22071 round out the specialized workloads.

The i9-14901TE wins no benchmark comparisons in the database. Its case rests on specifications: 8 cores, 16 threads, a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. Those figures suggest strong single-thread potential, but the database contains no measured scores to confirm it. The Ultra 5 245T counters with 14 cores, 14 threads, a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

For applications that scale across cores, the Ultra 5 245T's 14-core count gives it a structural advantage in parallel workloads, assuming the benchmark data reflects that scaling. For lightly threaded tasks, the i9-14901TE's higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz against 5.10 GHz implies an edge, but without benchmark scores that remains speculative. The recorded data only supports wins for the Ultra 5 245T.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The i9-14901TE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ultra 5 245T uses 14 cores and 14 threads. The i9 has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Ultra 5 has a base clock of 2.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz.

Thermal design power differs: the i9-14901TE is rated at 45 watts, the Ultra 5 245T at 65 watts. Sockets are incompatible, with the i9 on Intel Socket 1700 and the Ultra 5 on Intel Socket 1851. The i9 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the Ultra 5 supports DDR5 only. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the Ultra 5 records a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, a figure absent for the i9.

PCIe lanes differ: the i9 provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, the Ultra 5 provides Gen 5 with 20 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well: the i9 uses UHD Graphics 770, the Ultra 5 uses Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU. Both support ECC memory, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. Release dates differ, with the i9 released on 2024-06-30 and the Ultra 5 on 2025-01-06. The Ultra 5 has a launch MSRP of $270. The i9 has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The i9-14901TE is built on Raptor Lake architecture with the codename Raptor Lake-R, part of the Core 14th Gen series. The Ultra 5 245T uses Arrow Lake architecture with the codename Arrow Lake-S, part of the Core Ultra Series 2. The process nodes diverge sharply: the i9 uses a 10 nm node fabricated by Intel, while the Ultra 5 uses a 3 nm node fabricated by TSMC. The Ultra 5's transistor count is recorded at 17,800 million; the i9 has no transistor count in the database. Die sizes are close, with the i9 at 257 mm² and the Ultra 5 at 243 mm².

Cache structures differ substantially. The i9 uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The Ultra 5 uses 192 KB of L1 per core, 3 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 on the i9 may benefit workloads with high cache locality, while the Ultra 5's larger per-core L1 and L2 reflect its newer core design.

The integrated GPU changes with the architecture shift. Raptor Lake's UHD Graphics 770 is a legacy design, while Arrow Lake's Arc Xe-LPG Graphics 64EU is a newer GPU architecture. Memory support also reflects the generational split, with the i9 retaining DDR4 compatibility and the Ultra 5 moving to DDR5 exclusively. The Ultra 5's memory bandwidth figure of 102.4 GB/s quantifies its dual-channel DDR5 throughput, a metric not recorded for the i9.

The production status for both is Active. The i9 belongs to the Core i9 generation labeled Raptor Lake Refresh, while the Ultra 5 belongs to the Ultra 5 generation labeled Arrow Lake. The part numbers differ: Q49CSRNJJ for the i9, SRVFF for the Ultra 5. The Ultra 5's 14 threads against its 14 cores indicates no hyperthreading on Arrow Lake, whereas the i9's 16 threads from 8 cores confirms simultaneous multithreading on Raptor Lake. That architectural choice explains the thread count disparity despite the Ultra 5 having more physical cores.
