Intel Core i5-14500 vs Intel Core i9-14900
Intel Core i5-14500
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core i5-14500 is a fast and relative efficient desktop processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, which was introduced in 2022. The processor offers a base clock of 2.6 GHz and reaches up to 5.0 GHz in Turbo. The hybrid CPU architecture introduced with Alder Lake is also used in the Raptor Lake processors. Compared to the Intel Core i5-13500, however, the Intel Core i5-14500 only offers a slight advantage. The number of cores is identical and Intel has only minimally increased the clock rates of the P and E cores in the Core i5-14500.
Performance
Due to the same number of physical computing units, the Intel Core i5-14500 only offers a minimal difference in performance compared to the Intel Core i5-13500, which is only due to the increased clock rates. Compared to the even older Intel Core i5-12500, which has to make do completely without E-cores, the performance difference is significantly higher.
Graphics unit
Like the Intel Core i5-13500, the Intel Core i5-14500 offers an integrated graphics unit. The already widespread Intel Iris Xe architecture continues to serve as the basis. In terms of performance, nothing has changed with the new Intel UHD Graphics 770.
Power consumption
The TDP of the Intel Core i5-14500 is 65 watts, with the option to increase this to up to 154 watts in Turbo mode. Compared to the Intel Core i5-13500, Intel has not made any changes to the TDP limits.
Intel Core i9-14900
► remove from comparison
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.

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.
