Intel Core i5-14501E vs Intel Core i9-14900 vs Intel Core i5-14600K

Intel Core i5-14501E

► remove from comparison Intel Core i5-14501E

The Intel Core i5-14501E is a peculiar Raptor Lake family desktop processor (SoC) that has 6 performance cores but 0 efficient cores. It's the lack of E-cores that makes 14X01 chips special.

The product has decently sized level 2 and 3 caches at 12 MB and 24 MB, respectively. Its CPU cores run at up to 5.2 GHz. The UHD 770 serves as the integrated graphics solution. There is no 'proper' NPU here, however, vPro Enterprise features such as RPE (Remote Platform Erase) are onboard.

The i5 chip is manufactured built with the Intel 7 process which is fairly old, as of mid 2025. Its base TDP sits at 65 W which is the standard value for desktop CPUs.

Performance

While we have not tested a single 14X01 processor as of July 2025, we do know that a single 4.6 GHz Raptor Cove core, such as that of an Core i7-14650HX is good for 116 Cinebench 2024 points and 285 Cinebench R15 points. (The 14501E can run at up to 5.2 GHz, too, to remind you.) If we multiply the values by 6, we get a reasonably fair projection that sees the 14501E being about as fast as lower mid-range laptop AMD chips of 2025, such as the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340. While not particularly impressive, this is definitely sufficient for any tasks and applications one could run in 2025, top games included.

Intel Core i9-14900

► remove from comparison Intel i9-14900

The Intel Core i9-14900 is a high-end processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture. The base clock is 2 GHz and can reach up to 5.8 GHz under optimal conditions. Similar to the top model (Intel Core i9-14900K), the total of 32 threads are divided into 8 p- and 16 e-cores. The 8 performance cores (p-cores) also offer hyperthreading, which means that a total of 32 threads can be processed simultaneously. The non-K model is an economical processor. There is still the option of DDR4 or DDR5 memory.

Performance

Compared to the Intel Core i9-14900K, the Core i9-14900 offers the same number of physical computing units. However, due to the lower power consumption, the Intel Core i9-14900 delivers slightly less performance. The intended use is primarily for compact PCs with limited cooling options.

Graphics unit

Like the Intel Core i9-14900K, the Intel Core i9-14900 offers an integrated graphics unit. The Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, however, nothing has changed with the Intel UHD Graphics 770.

Power consumption

The Intel Core i9-14900 is specified with a TDP of 65 watts, which corresponds to the PL1 value. In boost mode, the processor's performance can increase to up to 219 watts (PL2). However, this requires very good cooling. Compared to the Intel Core i9-13900, the specified power consumption has not changed.

Intel Core i5-14600K

► remove from comparison Intel i5-14600K

The Intel Core i5-14600K is a modern desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which inherits the 13th generation of Intel Core processors with minor improvements. The processor offers a base clock of 3.5 GHz and reaches up to 5.3 GHz in Turbo. The basic CPU structure remains unchanged. This means that the Intel Core i5-14600K also has 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores, which means that up to 20 threads can be processed in parallel. The Intel Core i5-14600K still offers a freely selectable multiplier, which makes overclocking much easier. The LGA 1700 socket, which was already introduced with Alder-Lake, is also used as the basis.

Performance

Compared to the Intel Core i5-13600K , the IPC of the new Core i5-14600K has only been increased slightly. This means that the difference in performance is also only slight. The hybrid architecture relies on the Intel Thread Director, which is responsible for the correct allocation of tasks. As a further innovation, the manufacturer is increasingly relying on AI, which is also used for overclocking. With one click in the Intel Extreme Utility, the tool checks the entire system and makes the necessary settings.

Graphics unit

Like the Intel Core i5-13600K, the Intel Core i5-14600K also has an integrated graphics unit. The Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, however, nothing has changed with the Intel UHD Graphics 770.

Power consumption

The TDP of the Intel Core i5-14600K is 125 watts, with the option of consuming up to 181 watts in Turbo mode. If all limits are removed, the energy requirement rises to up to 240 watts. For cooling, we recommend a powerful air cooler or a 240 AiO.
