Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F wins in every benchmark category where measurements exist, because it is the only processor of the two with recorded scores. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and single-core score of 3072 indicate strong performance in both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads. The PassMark multithread score of 25645 and single thread score of 3689 point in the same direction. The Ryzen 5 7400F also carries the higher percentile ranking at 83 versus 50 for the Intel part, which suggests that the database positions it well above the Intel processor in overall CPU performance.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark wins in the database because no benchmark results are recorded for it. However, the architectural data shows areas where the Intel part holds a specification advantage. The Intel processor has more cores, 8 versus 6, and more threads, 16 versus 12. It also has a higher boost clock, 5.40 GHz versus 4.70 GHz. Its memory bandwidth is higher at 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving it broader platform compatibility, and it includes UHD Graphics 770, which the AMD part lacks entirely. These are specification-based advantages, not measured performance wins.

For practical use-case splits, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is the only processor with data supporting performance claims. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21765 and PassMark multithread score of 25645 indicate strong multi-threaded capability. Its single-core scores, 3072 in Cinebench R23 and 3689 in PassMark single thread, indicate solid lightly threaded performance. The Intel Core 5 223PTE, by contrast, cannot be assigned benchmark-based wins in any workload category due to the absence of recorded scores.

The percentile data provides one more point of separation. The Ryzen 5 7400F sits at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE sits at the 50th percentile. This 33 percentile-point gap is the largest quantitative performance indicator available in the comparison. It does not describe a specific workload, but it does indicate that the database ranks the AMD processor substantially higher overall.
