AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison scenario. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE carries a full suite of benchmark results across Cinebench and Passmark workloads. The Intel Core 5 223PTE, in contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty. Direct numeric comparison between the two parts is therefore not possible from the measured results.

What can be established is the AMD processor's position within the broader database. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE achieves an average benchmark score of 25,880. That figure places it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The nearest rivals provide context for that score. The Intel Core i7-11700K averages 25,812, a delta of 0.3% behind the AMD part. The AMD Ryzen 5 230 averages 25,782, a 0.4% gap. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 sits 0.4% ahead at 25,981, and the Intel Core i7-14701TE leads by 0.5% with an average of 26,013. These margins are narrow, all within half a percentage point. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE effectively trades places with four established desktop parts across the entire benchmark suite.

Individual workload results for the AMD chip show where its strengths concentrate. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it records 15,504 points. Single-core in R23 is 2,188. The R20 run shows 6,511 multi-core and 918 single-core. R15 multi-core is 1,562, with a single-core result of 220. Passmark results include 18,057 in multi-thread, 3,240 in single-thread, 67,582 in integer math, 38,204 in floating point math, 15,714 in extended instructions, 14,509 in data encryption, 228,037 in data compression, 23,769 in random string sorting, 648 in physics, and 49 in find prime numbers. These numbers define a capable 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor with strong multi-threaded throughput for its class.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE holds an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking, but that percentile figure is not tied to any measured workload. The absence of benchmark data means no wins can be awarded to either side. The database records zero wins for the AMD part and zero for the Intel part. The only honest statement from the measurements is that the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has a verified performance profile, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE has not yet produced any recorded scores. Any claim of direct superiority in either direction would exceed what the data supports.

The Verdict

The data supports only one clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only one of the two processors with a measured performance record. Its average benchmark score of 25,880 places it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals within 0.5% either way. That is a solid, verified position. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has an average score of 0 in the database, meaning no benchmark results have been recorded for it. There is no measured basis to rank it against the AMD part.

For a buyer or system integrator relying strictly on database measurements, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is the only option with demonstrated performance. The Intel part may be competitive on paper, but the database contains no evidence of that. The Ryzen chip delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 15,504 and a single-core score of 2,188, figures that anchor its 78th percentile ranking. The Intel Core 5 223PTE cannot be placed relative to that performance with any recorded data.

The verdict is straightforward: pick the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE if the requirement is a processor with verified benchmark results. Pick the Intel Core 5 223PTE only if its unmeasured status is acceptable, since no performance data exists to evaluate it. The database records no wins for either part, so this is not a question of which is faster. It is a question of which has evidence. Only the AMD part has that.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge substantially in underlying design. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process from Intel's own foundry. The Intel part has no listed transistor count or die size in the database.

Cache structures differ across every level. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The larger per-core L1 and L2 on the Intel side reflect a different cache hierarchy philosophy, while the AMD part's smaller per-core caches are balanced by the lower-latency Zen 3 design. The Intel L3 is shared rather than labeled per-core, and it is 8 MB larger than the AMD L3.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD processor supports DDR4 only, with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That is a 38.4 GB/s advantage for the Intel part on paper, though no benchmark data confirms how that translates into real workloads.

PCIe capabilities differ as well. The AMD chip uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The generation gap is significant for storage and expansion bandwidth. Integrated graphics are present on both: the AMD part uses Radeon Vega 7, the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. Both processors support ECC memory. The AMD part is built on the Cezanne design from the 5000 series, while the Intel part is a Bartlett Lake generation product. The process node difference, 7 nm versus 10 nm, gives the AMD chip a manufacturing advantage in density, though the Intel part compensates with more cores and a higher boost clock.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the first major split. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. That is a 2-core, 4-thread advantage for the Intel part. Clock speeds reverse the picture. The AMD chip runs a 3.40 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock. The Intel chip runs a 2.30 GHz base clock and a 5.40 GHz boost clock. The Intel boost clock is 1.0 GHz higher, while the AMD base clock is 1.1 GHz higher. The two processors are tuned differently: the AMD part holds a higher floor, the Intel part reaches a higher ceiling.

Thermal design power differs. The AMD processor is rated at 65 W TDP. The Intel processor is rated at 45 W TDP. Despite having more cores and a higher boost clock, the Intel part carries a lower TDP rating. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD part is not multiplier-unlocked, and the Intel part is also not multiplier-unlocked. Release dates are far apart. The AMD chip was released on 2024-05-06, while the Intel chip is dated 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $232. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. The AMD part number is 100-000001514, the Intel part number is SA4QL. Both are marked as Active in production status and both target the Desktop market segment. The AMD part belongs to the 5000 series, the Intel part has no series listed. Neither processor has a 3D V-Cache option.
