AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 220 and Intel Core 5 223PTE occupy different corners of the market, and the recorded data makes that split obvious. The Ryzen 5 220 is a mobile processor with a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE is a desktop chip with no recorded benchmark scores in the database. That single fact shapes the entire comparison: the AMD part has measurable performance data across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests, while the Intel part offers only specification-level context.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Ryzen 5 220 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15502, a Geekbench multi-core score of 7974, and a Passmark multi-thread score of 18582. These numbers place it at the 75th percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22289. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-10700K at 22230 (0.3% behind) and the Intel Core i5-13500H at 22468 (0.8% ahead), which indicates the Ryzen 5 220 sits in a competitive band for productivity work. Single-thread performance is also documented: Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2188, Geekbench single-core of 2027, and Passmark single-thread of 3646.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries, so its wins cannot be quantified from measured results. What the data does show is that it belongs to the desktop segment with a 50th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 0. The absence of scores means the database records no wins for either part in a head-to-head comparison, with winsA and winsB both at 0. The practical interpretation: the Ryzen 5 220 is the only one of the two with empirical performance evidence, while the Intel chip must be evaluated on its specifications alone.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors, and the win counts are 0 for both. That means a direct numerical comparison of their measured performance is not possible from the recorded data. However, the AMD Ryzen 5 220's individual benchmark results provide a reference point for what a modern mobile chip in this class can achieve.

The Ryzen 5 220's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15502 and single-core score of 2188 show a balanced profile. In Geekbench, the multi-core score of 7974 and single-core score of 2027 reinforce that balance. Passmark results are extensive: integer math at 57987, floating point math at 35500, extended instructions at 15512, data compression at 212739, data encryption at 12493, random string sorting at 25433, physics at 983, and prime number finding at 65. The multi-thread Passmark score of 18582 and single-thread score of 3646 complete the picture.

Since the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmarks, any comparison must rely on its specifications. It has more cores (8 versus 6) and more threads (16 versus 12), a higher boost clock (5.40 GHz versus 4.90 GHz), and a higher base clock in terms of TDP class (45 W versus 28 W). But without measured scores, the data cannot confirm whether those specifications translate into faster real-world performance. The percentile ranking of the Intel chip is 50, which places it below the AMD chip's 75th percentile, but that ranking is based on an average benchmark score of 0, so it should not be read as a performance statement.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ substantially: the AMD chip runs at 3.20 GHz, the Intel chip at 2.30 GHz. Boost clocks also differ, with the Intel chip reaching 5.40 GHz versus the AMD chip's 4.90 GHz. TDP is another split: the AMD chip is rated at 28 W, the Intel chip at 45 W.

Memory support diverges. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 supports DDR5 only, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, and both have a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is supported only on the Intel chip. PCIe capabilities differ as well: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics differ: the AMD chip uses Radeon 740M, the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. The market segments are different too, with the AMD chip classified as Mobile and the Intel chip as Desktop. Sockets are incompatible: AMD Socket FP8 versus Intel Socket 1700. The AMD chip has a part number of 100-000001611, while the Intel chip has a part number of SA4QL. Neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 220 is built on Zen 4 architecture with the codename Hawk Point, produced on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the codename Bartlett Lake, with the generation listed as Core 5 (Bartlett Lake), built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The Intel chip has no recorded transistor count or die size in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Neither chip has 3D V-Cache. The release dates are far apart: the AMD chip launched on January 5, 2025, while the Intel chip is dated March 8, 2026. Both are marked as active production parts.

The architecture differences reflect the design goals. The AMD chip uses a smaller process node (4 nm versus 10 nm) and a lower TDP (28 W versus 45 W), which suits its mobile market segment. The Intel chip uses a larger process node, a higher TDP, and more cores and cache, which fits its desktop segment. The Intel chip also carries a launch MSRP of $232, while the AMD chip has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split. For anyone evaluating measured performance, the AMD Ryzen 5 220 is the only option with evidence. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15502, Geekbench multi-core score of 7974, and Passmark multi-thread score of 18582 place it at the 75th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, like the Intel Core i7-10700K and Intel Core i5-13500H, are within roughly 1% of its average score, which confirms it competes with established desktop and mobile parts from previous generations.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE offers specifications that look strong on paper: 8 cores, 16 threads, 5.40 GHz boost, 24 MB of L3 cache, DDR4 and DDR5 support, ECC memory, and PCIe Gen 5. But the database contains no benchmark results for it, and its percentile ranking of 50 with an average score of 0 reflects that absence. The higher core count and boost clock might translate into faster performance, but the recorded data cannot confirm it.

For a mobile workload where power efficiency and compact design matter, the AMD Ryzen 5 220 has the measured results to back its 28 W TDP and 4 nm process. For a desktop build where ECC memory, DDR4 compatibility, and PCIe Gen 5 are priorities, the Intel Core 5 223PTE offers those features, but its performance remains unverified in the database. The choice depends on whether the user values documented benchmark evidence or specific platform features. The data supports the AMD chip for verified performance; the Intel chip is a specification-driven alternative with no measured scores to validate its capabilities.
