Intel Core i5-14400F vs Intel Core Ultra 7 265

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 14th generation mainstream desktop processor (Raptor Lake S Refresh). The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 belongs to the newer Arrow Lake generation and is designed for higher performance in the desktop segment.

The Intel Core i5-14400F is manufactured on a 10 nm process, with 6 performance and 4 efficiency cores (16 threads), 10 MB L2 and 20 MB L3 cache (90 GB/s memory bandwidth). The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 uses a 3 nm process, with 36 MB L2 and 33 MB L3 cache (102 GB/s memory bandwidth).

Core/thread count is not specified. Both support PCIe 5.0. In single-core performance, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 (Geekbench 6) shows over 20 percent higher performance than the Intel Core i5-14400F. For multi-core tasks, the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 surpasses the Intel Core i5-14400F by over 50 percent in Geekbench 6 and over 20 percent in Cinebench R23.

The Intel Core i5-14400F exhibits high single-core scores in Cinebench R23. For gaming, single-core performance is crucial. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 offers advantages here thanks to superior single-core performance. The Intel Core i5-14400F requires a dedicated graphics card, while the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 features integrated Intel Xe 4 Core Graphics (64 EUs).

Specific TDP values are missing. However, the 3 nm manufacturing process of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 suggests better energy efficiency compared to the 10 nm process of the Intel Core i5-14400F. Due to the lack of current market prices, an assessment of the price-performance ratio is not possible.
