AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D and the Intel Core 5 223PTE occupy different corners of the desktop processor market, and the recorded data shows that they are not direct substitutes for each other. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is an active 6-core, 12-thread processor built on AMD’s Zen 3 architecture, while the Core 5 223PTE is an active 8-core, 16-thread Intel part based on the Bartlett Lake design. The most immediate observation is that the AMD part has a full set of benchmark measurements, while the Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, a zero average score, and no rival data. This means the analysis must rely on architectural specifications and the AMD part’s benchmark results to establish a comparison framework.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is the only one of the two that can be evaluated through measured performance. Its average benchmark score of 37018 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs tracked in the database, which is a strong standing. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F with an average score of 36945, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with 36938, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 with 37093, and the Intel Core i9-12900T with 37112. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is 0.2% ahead of the Ryzen 5 5600F and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, and it is 0.2% behind the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and 0.3% behind the Intel Core i9-12900T. These deltas are very small, meaning the Ryzen 5 5500X3D sits at parity with a wide range of processors that include both newer AMD parts and Intel’s high-end low-power silicon.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE, by contrast, has no benchmark data, which means its measured performance cannot be verified from the database. Its percentile rank of 50 and an average score of zero indicate that the database has not yet recorded any results for it. The verdict for this comparison is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is the only part with empirical evidence of performance, and it is a capable desktop processor that matches the scores of several well-known rivals. The Intel part must be considered unmeasured for now, and any claims about its performance relative to the AMD part would be speculative. For users who require validated benchmark data, the AMD part is the only one that offers it.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split between the two processors is significant. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is built on TSMC’s 7 nm process and uses the Vermeer codename, which is part of the Zen 3 generation. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses Intel’s 10 nm process with the Bartlett Lake codename, and it has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Intel part has a much higher boost clock, 5.40 GHz versus 4.00 GHz, but the AMD part starts from a higher base clock, 3.00 GHz versus 2.30 GHz.

Cache configurations differ heavily. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part’s L3 cache is four times larger, at 96 MB versus 24 MB. This is the defining architectural feature of the AMD part, and it is likely related to the large shared cache capacity. The Intel part has a larger L2 cache per core, 2 MB versus 512 KB, and a larger L1 cache per core, 80 KB versus 64 KB.

The memory interface also differs. The AMD part supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also with a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is rated at 89.6 GB/s. That is a substantial difference, with the Intel part offering 75% more memory bandwidth on paper. The AMD part uses a PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The AMD part has no integrated graphics, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part is made for AMD Socket AM4, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no recorded head-to-head benchmark results for these two processors in the database, so a direct comparison of measured scores is not possible. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has an empty benchmark array, which means no individual tests have been logged for it. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, however, has a full set of PassMark measurements. The highest single score for the AMD part is in the data compression test, where it recorded 230392. The integer math test produced a score of 60033, and the floating point math test produced 34511. The multithread score was 20363, and the single-thread score was 2941 in both recorded single-thread fields.

The extended instructions test showed a score of 15925, and the random string sorting test showed 23675. The data encryption test recorded 13967, and the physics test recorded 2282. The find prime numbers test produced a score of 170. These scores can be compared against the AMD part’s nearest rivals, but not against the Intel Core 5 223PTE because it has no measurements. The data shows that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D’s average score of 37018 is nearly identical to the Intel Core i9-12900T’s average of 37112, differing by only 0.3%. That places the AMD part within a very tight performance band around several other CPUs, all of which have average scores between 36938 and 37112.

The absence of Intel benchmark data means the only head-to-head analysis that can be performed is between the AMD part and its nearest rivals. The Ryzen 5 5500X3D is 0.2% faster than the Ryzen 5 5600F and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, and it is 0.2% slower than the Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and 0.3% slower than the Intel Core i9-12900T. These differences are within measurement noise, suggesting that the Ryzen 5 5500X3D performs at the same level as a range of 6-core and 8-core processors from both AMD and Intel.
