Intel Core i9-14901TE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 356H Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the Intel Core i9-14901TE and the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counters for both processors are set to zero. Consequently, a side-by-side comparison of identical workloads cannot be constructed from the available measurements. The analysis below instead relies on the broader benchmark profile of the Core Ultra 7 356H and the architectural characteristics of both parts.

The Intel Core Ultra 7 356H carries a complete set of benchmark scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core result is 18395 points, while its single-core result is 2040 points. In Cinebench R20, the same processor records 12153 points multi-core and 1715 points single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 3055 points multi-core and 303 points single-core. These numbers indicate a processor with a strong multi-threaded presence relative to its mobile positioning.

PassMark results for the Core Ultra 7 356H further detail its capabilities. The multi-thread score is 33978, and the single-thread score is 4072. The data compression test yields 336177 points, while data encryption reaches 26345 points. Extended instructions score 27898, floating point math scores 103128, and integer math scores 83111. Prime number finding produces 327 points, physics processing scores 2895, and random string sorting reaches 40990. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 41215.

The Core Ultra 7 356H sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440, which posts an average score of 41208, a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 7 366H scores 41263, placing the 356H at a delta of -0.1 percent, effectively a statistical tie. The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X scores 41376, a delta of -0.4 percent. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H scores 40967, a delta of 0.6 percent. The data indicates that the Core Ultra 7 356H operates in a tightly packed performance cluster where the largest gap to any listed rival is under one percent.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark scores recorded. Its average benchmark score is zero, and its percentile rank is 50. Its nearest rivals list is empty. This absence of measurements means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for the i9-14901TE in any workload. The only available comparisons are structural, based on core counts, clock speeds, cache allocations, and memory support.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H is the only one of the two processors with verified performance measurements. Its average benchmark score of 41215 places it at the 87th percentile, and its nearest rivals all fall within a 0.6 percent window. This positions the Core Ultra 7 356H as a robust performer in the mobile segment, competitive with recent AMD and Intel parts of similar class.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark data and an average score of zero. The database cannot substantiate any performance claim for this desktop processor. Its percentile rank of 50 is nominal, reflecting the lack of measurements rather than a tested result. Any user relying on the database would find no evidence of the i9-14901TE outperforming or underperforming the Core Ultra 7 356H in a specific task.

Choice between the two, strictly from the data, depends on the availability of verified results. The Core Ultra 7 356H offers a complete, tested profile. The i9-14901TE offers none. For applications where measured performance is the deciding factor, the Core Ultra 7 356H is the only part with supporting evidence. The i9-14901TE cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark scores, because no scores exist in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors belong to different architectural generations and process nodes. The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses Raptor Lake, specifically the Raptor Lake-R variant, on Intel's 10 nm process.
