Intel Core i9-14901TE vs Intel Core i5-14501E
Intel Core i9-14901TE
► remove from comparison
The Intel Core i9-14901TE is a peculiar Raptor Lake family desktop processor (SoC) that has 8 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 16 MB and 36 MB, respectively. Its CPU cores run at up to 5.5 GHz. The UHD 770 serves as the integrated graphics solution. There is no 'proper' NPU here, however, the full vPro Enterprise feature set is onboard including Remote Platform Erase.
The i9 chip is manufactured using the Intel 7 process which is very old, as of late 2025. Its base TDP sits at 45 W by default, a value more reminiscent of high-performance laptops than desktops.
Performance
While we have not tested a single 14X01 processor as of Sep 2025, we do know that a single 5.4-GHz Raptor Cove core, like that of an i9-13900HX, is good for 121 Cinebench 2024 points and 295 Cinebench R15 points. (The 14901E can run at up to 5.5 GHz, to remind you.) If we multiply the values by 8, we get a projection that sees the 14901E being a little behind fairly powerful consumer-grade chips like AMD's Ryzen 7 8700G and Ryzen 9 8945HS. This should be fast enough for any tasks and applications one could run in 2025 and 2026, top games included; keep in mind that the 14901TE should be slower than its 65-W 14901E brother due to lower wattage and consequently, lower Boost clock speeds.
Intel Core i5-14501E
► remove from comparison
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.
