Intel Core i5-14500T: Power-Efficient Desktop Performance
The Intel Core i5-14500T is a power-efficient desktop processor from Intel's 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh family. Designed with a focus on lower thermal design power (TDP), it delivers robust multi-core performance while operating within a constrained thermal envelope, making it an ideal choice for compact, quiet, and energy-conscious computing solutions.
Key Specifications & Technical Details: This processor features a hybrid architecture combining Performance-cores (P-cores) and Efficient-cores (E-cores).
-
Cores/Threads: 14 Cores (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) and 20 Threads.
-
Max Turbo Frequency: Up to 4.8 GHz.
-
Base Power (TDP): 35W (with a higher Maximum Turbo Power for short bursts).
-
Smart Cache: 24 MB Intel Smart Cache.
-
Integrated Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 770.
-
Memory Support: DDR4 and DDR5.
-
Socket: LGA1700.
Primary Use Cases and Applications: The "T" series processors are engineered for scenarios where heat, noise, and power consumption are critical factors. The i5-14500T is perfectly suited for:
-
Compact Form Factor (SFF) & Mini PCs: Where cooling capacity is limited.
-
Quiet Office/Home Desktops: For general productivity, web browsing, and office applications without fan noise.
-
Industrial & Embedded Systems: In digital signage, kiosks, and thin clients where reliability and low power draw are paramount.
-
Light Content Creation & Multi-tasking: Handling photo editing, software development, and multiple applications simultaneously thanks to its high thread count.
Performance Context: While the base TDP is low, the processor's ability to boost allows it to handle demanding tasks in short bursts. Compared to standard desktop i5 models (like the non-T 14500), it trades sustained peak clock speeds for significantly lower average power consumption and heat output. Below is a simplified comparison of 14th Gen i5 desktop variants for context:
| Feature | Core i5-14500 | Core i5-14500T |
|---|---|---|
| Total Cores/Threads | 14C/20T | 14C/20T |
| P-Cores / E-Cores | 6P + 8E | 6P + 8E |
| Max Turbo Frequency | Up to 5.0 GHz | Up to 4.8 GHz |
| Base TDP | 65W | 35W |
| Use Case Focus | Mainstream Desktops | Low-Power, Compact Systems |
Thinvent Solutions Featuring Intel Core i5 Technology
At Thinvent, we leverage the efficiency and performance of Intel Core i5 processors, including the low-power T-series philosophy, across our range of reliable, Indian-manufactured computing solutions.
