The Intel Core i5-14501TE is a desktop processor with 6 cores, launched in July 2024. It is part of the Core i5 lineup, using the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture with Socket 1700. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. Core i5-14501TE has 24 MB of L3 cache and operates at 2.2 GHz by default, but can boost up to 5.1 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is making the Core i5-14501TE on a 10 nm production node, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Core i5-14501TE, which limits its overclocking potential.
With a TDP of 45 W, the Core i5-14501TE consumes typical power levels for a modern PC. Intel’s processor supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel interface. ECC memory is supported, too, which is an important capability for mission-critical systems, to avoid data corruption. For communication with other components in the system, Core i5-14501TE uses a PCI-Express Gen 5 connection. This processor features the UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics solution. Inside the box you will not only find the processor, but also a Laminar RM1 cooler.
Hardware virtualization is available on the Core i5-14501TE, which greatly improves virtual machine performance. Additionally, IOMMU virtualization (PCI passthrough) is supported, so that guest virtual machines may directly use host hardware. Programs using Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) can run on this processor, boosting performance for calculation-heavy applications. Besides AVX, Intel is including the newer AVX2 standard, too, but not AVX-512.
