AMD Ryzen 5 130 vs Intel Core 5 223PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains benchmark results for the Intel Core 5 223PE, while the AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no recorded benchmark scores. This means every measured comparison comes from the Intel part’s recorded data, and the analysis below interprets those scores against the nearest rivals in the database.

The Intel Core 5 223PE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455, a result that places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. That multi-core figure is 11111 points in Cinebench R20 and 2666 points in Cinebench R15, showing consistent scaling across the three Cinebench versions. Single-core results follow a similar pattern: 3734 in R23, 1568 in R20, and 376 in R15. These numbers indicate strong per-thread performance, with the R23 single-core score representing the highest recorded single-thread Cinebench result for this processor.

In PassMark workloads, the Intel Core 5 223PE shows its largest margins in data compression and integer math. The data compression score of 346623 is the highest PassMark result recorded for this chip, ahead of floating-point math at 76468 and integer math at 99819. The multi-thread PassMark score of 31124 confirms that the 8-core, 16-thread configuration delivers substantial parallel throughput. The single-thread PassMark score of 4219 (also recorded as 4219 in the singlethread field) shows that the 5.20 GHz boost clock translates into a high per-core result.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for these scores. The Intel Core 7 253PE posts an average benchmark score of 40557, which is only 0.1% below the Core 5 223PE’s average of 40585. The Intel Xeon 6357P scores 40630, a 0.1% margin above the Core 5 223PE. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H records 40518, a 0.2% deficit. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G leads this group with 40718, just 0.3% above the Core 5 223PE. These deltas are all within one percentage point, indicating that the Core 5 223PE sits in a tightly clustered performance tier.

The data shows no head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 5 130 and the Intel Core 5 223PE. The wins counter in the database records zero wins for the AMD part and zero wins for the Intel part, because no direct comparison tests exist. The Intel part’s percentile ranking of 87 versus the AMD part’s ranking of 50 provides the only direct comparative signal, and that gap is substantial.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 223PE wins every recorded benchmark category because it is the only part with scores in the database. Its strengths concentrate in multi-threaded workloads, where the 8 cores and 16 threads produce a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26455 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 31124. Data compression at 346623 and integer math at 99819 are the standout PassMark results, suggesting strong performance in database operations, file compression, and calculation-heavy tasks.

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for it. The Ryzen 5 130’s specifications, however, indicate a different design focus. Its 28 W TDP and mobile socket (AMD Socket FP7) point toward power-constrained environments, while the Intel Core 5 223PE’s 65 W TDP and desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) indicate a performance-oriented desktop part. The Ryzen 5 130’s 6 cores and 12 threads are fewer than the Intel’s 8 cores and 16 threads, and its 4.55 GHz boost clock is lower than the Intel’s 5.20 GHz.

For users prioritizing raw throughput in multi-threaded rendering or compilation workloads, the Intel Core 5 223PE’s recorded scores show it leads. For scenarios where power draw is the primary constraint, the Ryzen 5 130’s 28 W TDP versus the Intel’s 65 W TDP suggests the AMD part would consume less energy, though the database has no efficiency measurements to confirm this. The Ryzen 5 130’s integrated Radeon 660M graphics versus the Intel’s UHD Graphics 730 also indicates different integrated graphics capabilities, but no benchmark scores exist for either GPU in the database.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen 5 130 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 223PE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Both share the same base clock of 2.90 GHz, but the boost clocks diverge: the AMD reaches 4.55 GHz, while the Intel reaches 5.20 GHz. The TDP difference is significant, with the AMD at 28 W and the Intel at 65 W.

The sockets are incompatible: the AMD uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part is a mobile processor, whereas the Intel part is a desktop processor. Process nodes differ as well: the AMD uses a 6 nm node from TSMC, while the Intel uses a 10 nm node from Intel’s own foundry. The AMD die size is listed at 210 mm², while the Intel die size is not recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel’s larger L2 and L3 caches align with its higher core count and boost clock.

Memory support also differs. The AMD supports only DDR5, while the Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the memory bandwidth figures differ: the AMD lists 76.8 GB/s, while the Intel lists 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are also different, with the AMD featuring Radeon 660M and the Intel featuring UHD Graphics 730.

The release dates are distinct: the AMD Ryzen 5 130 is dated 2025-09-30, while the Intel Core 5 223PE is dated 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232, while the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Both have locked multipliers, and both are listed as active production parts. The part numbers are 100-000000992(FP7r2) for AMD and SA4QF for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 130 uses the Zen 3+ architecture under the codename Rembrandt-R, representing the Ryzen 5 generation built on that architecture. The Intel Core 5 223PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename under the Core 5 generation, with no specific architecture name listed in the database. The AMD part is fabricated on a 6 nm process by TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel’s own foundry.

The core and thread counts reflect different design philosophies. The AMD’s 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with a 28 W TDP, suggest a power-efficient mobile design. The Intel’s 8 cores and 16 threads, paired with a 65 W TDP, indicate a desktop part tuned for higher sustained throughput. The Intel’s boost clock advantage of 5.20 GHz versus 4.55 GHz further emphasizes its performance orientation.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and organization. The AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2 per core, with 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel’s per-core L2 cache is four times larger on a per-core basis, which can benefit workloads with repeated data access patterns. The larger shared L3 cache also provides more capacity for multi-threaded workloads that share data.

Memory architecture differs in supported types and bandwidth. The AMD supports only DDR5 with 76.8 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel’s higher bandwidth figure and broader memory compatibility give it more flexibility in system configuration. Both support ECC, which matters for workstation and server use cases.

PCIe capabilities favor the Intel in terms of generation, with Gen 5 support versus Gen 4 on the AMD, but the AMD offers more lanes at 20 versus 16 on the Intel. The AMD’s integrated Radeon 660M and the Intel’s UHD Graphics 730 represent different integrated graphics solutions, though the database records no graphics benchmarks for either. The AMD’s mobile socket and the Intel’s desktop socket dictate the platforms each processor can populate, and the 28 W versus 65 W TDP difference means cooling and power delivery requirements will diverge significantly in practice.
