Intel Core i5-14400 vs Intel Core Ultra 5 225F

Core i5-14400 vs Core Ultra 5 225F specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark tool, the Core Ultra 5 225F is faster than the Core i5-14400. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-14400 in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores but the Core i5-14400 has more threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 225F has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-14400. Also, the Core Ultra 5 225F has a slightly higher turbo speed. The cache sizes of these CPUs are different. Indeed, the Core Ultra 5 225F has significantly more L2 cache than the Core i5-14400. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i5-14400 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
