AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

The Verdict

The data in the database shows two processors with fundamentally different profiles. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS is a mobile-focused part with a complete set of recorded benchmark scores, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark entries in the database, making direct performance comparison impossible from measured results. The AMD part sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30879, placing it in the upper tier of recorded processors. The Intel part, by contrast, holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average score of 0, meaning its measured performance has not been recorded.

For workloads where the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS has measured data, it shows strong multi-threaded and single-threaded results. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 7 8700F (0.4% behind), the Intel Core i7-13700TE (0.5% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS (0.6% ahead), and the Intel Core i7-12700F (0.6% ahead). This clustering indicates that the AMD 8645HS delivers performance within a narrow band of those established desktop and mobile parts. The Intel Core 5 223PQE, lacking recorded benchmarks, cannot be positioned against these scores.

The choice between these two processors depends on what the database can actually verify. For users who need measured performance data, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS is the only option with recorded results. The Intel Core 5 223PQE offers architectural features listed in its specification, including 8 cores, 16 threads, a base clock of 4.00 GHz, a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and a 125 TDP, but its actual benchmark performance remains unmeasured in this database. The AMD part has a 6-core, 12-thread configuration, a 4.30 GHz base clock, a 5.00 GHz boost clock, and a 45 TDP, with comprehensive Cinebench and PassMark results.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers, process nodes, and market segments. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS belongs to the 8000 series, uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, and is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, and has no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD part provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part provides 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel part has a higher boost clock at 5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz for the AMD part, but the AMD part has a higher base clock at 4.30 GHz versus 4.00 GHz. The TDP figures are very different: the AMD part is rated at 45 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 125 watts. The AMD processor targets the mobile segment with an AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel processor targets the desktop segment with an Intel Socket 1700.

Cache hierarchies differ in both size and layout. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Each core on the Intel part therefore has more private cache, and the shared L3 pool is 8 MB larger.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD part supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus, and both have a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes. Integrated graphics are present on both: the AMD part uses a Radeon 760M, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS has a release date of April 15, 2024, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has a release date of March 8, 2026. Both are listed as active in production. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $319, stated once here as recorded in the database. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two processors. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has an empty benchmarks array, meaning no Cinebench or PassMark scores are recorded for it. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS, however, has a full set of measurements that can be interpreted on its own.

In Cinebench R15, the AMD part scores 1989 in multi-core and 280 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8291 in multi-core and 1170 in single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 19742 in multi-core and 2787 in single-core. These results show a multi-core to single-core ratio that is consistent with a 6-core, 12-thread part at 45 watts.

PassMark results for the AMD part cover a range of workloads. The data compression score is 265826, data encryption scores 17387, extended instructions score 21212, and find prime numbers scores 73. Floating point math scores 45481, integer math scores 72740, and multithread scores 23569. Physics scores 1208, random string sorting scores 35472, and single-thread scores 3858. The average benchmark score across the entire set is 30879, which places the part at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs.

Without recorded results for the Intel Core 5 223PQE, the database cannot show which processor wins any specific workload. The AMD part demonstrates its performance through measured scores, while the Intel part remains a specification-only entry. The closest comparison available is the AMD part against its nearest rivals: it sits 0.4% behind the Ryzen 7 8700F, 0.5% behind the Core i7-13700TE, 0.6% behind the Ryzen 9 8945HS, and 0.6% behind the Core i7-12700F. These deltas are small, indicating that the AMD 8645HS is tightly grouped with those parts in average benchmark score.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS wins in every category where the database has measured performance, simply because it is the only part with recorded scores. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19742, single-core score of 2787, and PassMark multithread score of 23569 provide concrete data points for comparison. Its 45 TDP and mobile socket (AMD Socket FP7) indicate a design oriented toward portable systems, and its 4 nm process node from TSMC suggests a focus on power efficiency. The part also includes a Radeon 760M integrated GPU, which is recorded as its integrated graphics solution.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE wins on paper in several architectural specifications. It has more cores (8 versus 6), more threads (16 versus 12), more L3 cache (24 MB versus 16 MB), more L2 cache per core (2 MB versus 1 MB), more L1 cache per core (80 KB versus 64 KB), and a higher boost clock (5.50 GHz versus 5.00 GHz). It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports only DDR5. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes, while the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 20 CPU-only lanes. Its integrated graphics is UHD Graphics 770, and it is a desktop part with an Intel Socket 1700.

For users who require measured benchmark results, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8645HS is the only processor with data in the database. Its 82nd percentile ranking and average score of 30879 give it a clear position among all CPUs. For users who prioritize the architectural specifications listed for the Intel Core 5 223PQE, such as higher core count, larger caches, and PCIe Gen 5 support, that part offers those features on paper, but its actual performance has not been recorded. The database therefore supports a verdict in favor of the AMD part only in terms of verified performance; the Intel part remains an unmeasured entry with a distinct set of specifications.
