Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in architecture, node, and physical design. The Intel Core i9-14901TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture, and carries the codename Raptor Lake-R. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry, with a die size of 257 mm². The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H belongs to the Core Ultra Series 3, uses the Panther Lake architecture, and carries the codename Panther Lake. It is built on a 3 nm process node, also at Intel's foundry, but its die size is not recorded in the database.

Core counts differ substantially. The i9-14901TE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Ultra 5 336H has 16 cores and 16 threads. Notably, the Ultra 5 336H has twice the cores but the same thread count, indicating a different threading model. The i9-14901TE uses a traditional 8-core, 16-thread layout with Hyper-Threading implied by the thread count. The Ultra 5 336H, with 16 cores and 16 threads, likely uses a mix of performance and efficiency cores without hyper-threading on the efficiency cores, though the database does not explicitly state core type distribution.

Cache hierarchies differ as well. The i9-14901TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ultra 5 336H has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The L1 and L2 per-core figures are larger on the Ultra 5 336H, but the shared L3 cache on the i9-14901TE is double that of the Ultra 5 336H. Total L3 cache is not listed for either processor.

Base and boost clocks differ, with the i9-14901TE running at a 2.30 GHz base clock and a 5.50 GHz boost clock. The Ultra 5 336H runs at a 1.90 GHz base clock and a 4.60 GHz boost clock. The i9-14901TE has a higher base clock by 0.40 GHz and a higher boost clock by 0.90 GHz. Thermal design power also differs, with the i9-14901TE rated at 45 watts and the Ultra 5 336H at 25 watts.

Memory support diverges. The i9-14901TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and it supports ECC memory. The Ultra 5 336H supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, also dual-channel, with a recorded memory bandwidth of 115.2 GB/s, a figure not listed for the i9-14901TE. The Ultra 5 336H does not support ECC memory. PCIe lanes also differ: the i9-14901TE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Ultra 5 336H provides Gen 5 with 12 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ as well. The i9-14901TE uses UHD Graphics 770, while the Ultra 5 336H uses Intel Xe3 Graphics. The i9-14901TE is a desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the Ultra 5 336H is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 2540. Release dates differ, with the i9-14901TE released on June 30, 2024, and the Ultra 5 336H released on January 4, 2026. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and both are locked, with no unlocked multiplier. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the recorded data, the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark wins in the database, as no benchmarks are listed for it. Its average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile rank is 50, meaning it sits at the median of all CPUs in the database. Without measured scores, no performance advantage can be attributed to the i9-14901TE from the database records.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H, by contrast, has a full benchmark profile and an 84th percentile rank. Its nearest rival deltas are all under one percent, showing it competes near the top of its immediate performance class. The data shows the Ultra 5 336H wins in every recorded benchmark category relative to the i9-14901TE, simply because the i9-14901TE has no recorded scores. This includes Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 in both multi-core and single-core, as well as all Passmark tests: data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, find prime numbers, floating point math, integer math, multithread, physics, random string sorting, and single-thread.

The use-case split from the data is clear. The Ultra 5 336H is a mobile processor with a 25-watt TDP, a 3 nm node, and LPDDR5X memory support, indicating a power-efficient design suited to mobile workloads. Its 16 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 115.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, suggest strong multi-threaded throughput for its power envelope. The i9-14901TE is a desktop processor with a 45-watt TDP, a 10 nm node, DDR4 and DDR5 support, and ECC memory, indicating a desktop-oriented design with higher clocks and larger shared L3 cache. The i9-14901TE offers a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, which would typically favor single-threaded responsiveness, but no benchmark data exists to confirm this.

The percentile data reinforces the split. The Ultra 5 336H at the 84th percentile is a high-ranking part among all CPUs. The i9-14901TE at the 50th percentile is exactly average in the database distribution, but this rank is based on an average score of zero, which is not a meaningful measurement. The nearest rivals for the Ultra 5 336H are all within 0.8% of its score, showing it clusters with other high-performing mid-range parts. The i9-14901TE has no nearest rivals listed in the database.

The Verdict

The database records show a clear asymmetry. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has a complete benchmark profile and a verified average score of 34,485, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-13700HX, Intel Core i5-13450HX, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, all sit within one percentage point of its score, confirming it as a competitive performer in its segment. The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile rank, which reflects missing data rather than measured performance.

For users selecting based on measured data, the Intel Core Ultra 5 336H is the only processor in this comparison with recorded performance. It delivers a multi-thread score of 28,545 in Passmark and a single-thread score of 4,013, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,991 and a single-core score of 3,387. Its 16 cores, 3 nm process node, and 25-watt TDP indicate a modern, power-efficient mobile design. The i9-14901TE offers a higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz, a larger shared L3 cache at 36 MB, and ECC memory support, but none of these features are quantified by benchmark results in the database.

The verdict from the data is straightforward. The Intel Core Ultra 5 336H has demonstrated performance at the 84th percentile and should be preferred when measured benchmark results are required. The Intel Core i9-14901TE cannot be recommended on the basis of recorded performance, because no performance data exists for it. The i9-14901TE remains a valid desktop part with distinct architectural features, but the database provides no evidence of its benchmark behavior. Any selection between these two processors must rely on the Ultra 5 336H's verified scores, or on external measurements that are not present in this database.
