Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT belongs to the 5000 series and uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It is fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel. No transistor count or die size data exists for the Intel part.

Cache organization differs substantially between the two. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part provides larger cache allocations at every level, with its L2 cache being four times larger per core.

The integrated graphics also differ. AMD pairs the Ryzen 5 5600GT with Radeon Vega 7 graphics, while Intel equips the Core 5 223PQE with UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions suitable for basic display output, though the database records no graphics benchmark scores for either.

Memory support is another differentiator. The AMD part is limited to DDR4 with dual-channel operation and a 51.2 GB/s bandwidth ceiling. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5 in dual-channel mode, reaching 89.6 GB/s, and includes ECC memory support. The AMD part lacks ECC support.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core 5 223PQE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, offering a newer and faster interface for expansion devices.

Socket compatibility is entirely separate. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking, while the Intel part has a locked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT versus the Intel Core 5 223PQE. The Intel processor has zero recorded benchmark scores across all test suites, so no measured comparison is possible from the available data.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT, recorded results span multiple benchmark suites. In Cinebench R23, the processor scores 17,272 in multi-core and 2,438 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 7,254 multi-core and 1,023 single-core. In Cinebench R15, the scores are 1,740 multi-core and 245 single-core.

Geekbench results show 7,986 in multi-core and 1,843 in single-core. PassMark tests include 20,325 in multithread, 3,348 in single-thread, 69,566 in integer math, 39,817 in floating point math, 15,873 in data encryption, and 258,882 in data compression. The 3DMark results span 5,523 at 16 threads, 1,794 at 2 threads, 3,446 at 4 threads, 4,968 at 8 threads, 5,554 at max threads, and 913 at single thread.

The AMD part's average benchmark score of 20,733 places it at the 74th percentile. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12490F, scores 20,802, which is 0.3% higher. The other three nearest rivals, the Intel Xeon 6325P, Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, and AMD EPYC 7J13, all score within 0.5% of the Ryzen 5 5600GT.

Since the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no measured scores, its 50th percentile ranking and zero average score indicate an absence of data rather than a performance level. The recorded data cannot confirm any specific win for either processor in a direct comparison.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark data. Its 74th percentile ranking and average score of 20,733 demonstrate it competes closely with the Intel Core i5-12490F, Intel Xeon 6325P, Intel Core Ultra 5 125U, and AMD EPYC 7J13, all of which score within 0.5%. These results indicate a balanced mid-range performer that holds its own against comparable Intel and AMD parts.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE presents no measured performance data. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder value, not a tested result. The database records zero benchmark scores and no nearest rivals for this processor. Any assertion about its performance relative to the Ryzen 5 5600GT cannot be supported by the available measurements.

Based on recorded data alone, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is the processor with demonstrated performance. Users seeking a CPU with verified benchmark results and a known competitive position should consider the AMD part. The Intel Core 5 223PQE offers architectural advantages on paper, including more cores, higher clocks, larger caches, DDR5 support, ECC memory, and PCIe Gen 5, but none of these features have measured benchmark confirmation in the database.

The choice rests on whether verified performance matters more than unverified specifications. The data supports the AMD processor for those who rely on benchmark evidence. The Intel processor remains an unknown quantity until benchmark results are recorded.
