AMD Ryzen 5 8500G vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G and the Intel Core 5 223PTE. The recorded measurements for the AMD processor are extensive, spanning 3DMark, Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark scores recorded in the database at the time of analysis. This absence of data makes a direct numerical comparison impossible for individual tests.

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G shows a representative set of results. In Cinebench R23, it scores 18,368 points in multi-core and 2,593 points in single-core. In Geekbench, the multi-core score is 9,444, while the single-core score is 2,354. Passmark results include a multi-thread score of 21,610 and a single-thread score of 3,891. The 3DMark tests range from 998 in single-thread to 5,224 in 16-thread workloads. These figures place the processor at the 74th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE, by contrast, holds an average benchmark score of zero and sits at the 50th percentile. The database records no completed test runs for this part. Any claims about its performance relative to the AMD chip would rely on specifications rather than measured outcomes. The data simply does not support a head-to-head score comparison.

What the available information does show is that the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G delivers consistent results across synthetic workloads. Its Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 7,714 and single-core score of 1,089 indicate a balanced profile. Passmark data compression scores 250,197, while floating-point math reaches 39,074. Integer math scores 63,123. These numbers give a concrete picture of the AMD part's capabilities, but the Intel part's empty benchmark record leaves its side of the comparison blank.

FAQ

Q: Does the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G have a higher single-core score than the Intel Core 5 223PTE?

A: The database cannot confirm this. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores, so no single-core comparison is possible. The AMD processor records a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,593 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2,354, but there is no Intel score to contrast against.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G wins in areas where measured performance exists. Its benchmark results are recorded in full, giving it a demonstrable profile across rendering, general computing, and math workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18,368 places it in a competitive range for its class. The Passmark multi-thread score of 21,610 and the 3DMark 16-thread score of 5,224 reinforce this. For any workload where the database has numbers, the AMD part has evidence of capability.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins on specification-driven categories. It has 8 cores versus 6, a higher boost clock at 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, a larger shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 16 MB, and a higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s. It also supports DDR4 memory, which the AMD part does not. Its PCIe Gen 5 interface with 16 lanes exceeds the AMD part's Gen 4 with 14 lanes. These are structural advantages that do not rely on benchmark data.

The AMD part also has a lower launch MSRP of $179, while the Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD processor integrates Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel part integrates UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not include graphics benchmark scores for either.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across several key specifications. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ significantly: the AMD part runs at 3.50 GHz, the Intel part at 2.30 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the order: the AMD part reaches 5.00 GHz, the Intel part reaches 5.40 GHz.

TDP differs by 20 watts, with the AMD part at 65 watts and the Intel part at 45 watts. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5. The Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support splits: the AMD part handles DDR5 only, the Intel part handles DDR4 and DDR5. Both run dual-channel memory, but memory bandwidth favors the Intel part at 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s.

PCIe generation and lane counts differ. The AMD part uses Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes. The Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Cache hierarchies are distinct. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. The Intel part has larger caches at every level.

Both processors support ECC memory. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part has a part number of 100-000001491. The Intel part has a part number of SA4QL. The AMD part was released on January 7, 2024. The Intel part was released on March 8, 2026. Both are marked as Active in production status.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The transistor count is 20,900 million, and the die size is 137 mm². The processor belongs to the 8000 series and is classified as a Mobile market segment part. Its integrated graphics are Radeon 740M.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename. The process node is 10 nm, produced at Intel's own foundry. The database does not list an architecture name, transistor count, or die size for this part. It is classified as a Desktop market segment part. Its integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 770.

The cache architecture differs in structure. The AMD part allocates 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 per core, with a shared 16 MB L3 pool. The Intel part allocates 80 KB of L1 and 2 MB of L2 per core, with a shared 24 MB L3 pool. The Intel L2 is double the per-core size of the AMD part, and the L3 pool is 50% larger.

Power delivery expectations differ by TDP class. The Intel part's 45-watt TDP suggests a lower thermal envelope than the AMD part's 65-watt TDP. The AMD part's higher base clock at 3.50 GHz versus 2.30 GHz indicates a different clocking strategy. The Intel part compensates with a higher boost ceiling. These architectural choices reflect different design goals, but the database provides no measured performance data for the Intel part to validate their impact.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results. Its 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs, an average benchmark score of 20,425, and a full suite of test results give it a measurable profile. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking. On the strength of recorded data alone, the AMD part is the only one that can be evaluated for performance.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE offers structural advantages on paper. It has more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, larger caches, higher memory bandwidth, PCIe Gen 5, and DDR4 support. Its 45-watt TDP is lower than the AMD part's 65-watt TDP. These specifications suggest theoretical headroom in multi-threaded and memory-sensitive workloads, but the database contains no measurements to confirm or quantify that headroom.

For a user selecting between these two based on available data, the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G is the part with demonstrated results. The Intel Core 5 223PTE remains an unmeasured specification sheet. The database records no head-to-head wins for either processor, and the win counts for both are zero. The practical choice depends on whether the user prioritizes verified performance from the AMD part or the higher core count and newer interface standards of the Intel part. The data does not resolve that trade-off; it only presents the specifications and the one-sided benchmark record.
