AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark entries. The Intel processor's average benchmark score is listed as zero, which reflects the absence of measured data rather than a performance result. The AMD part holds a 92nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile, again derived from the lack of test data.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX delivers a PassMark multithread score of 31,517. Its single-thread score is 3,879, recorded under both the "passmark_single_thread" and "passmark_singlethread" test labels. In integer math, it scores 100,328, and in floating-point math, it scores 61,972. The data compression test yields 363,759, while data encryption returns 21,840. Extended instructions score 27,638, find prime numbers scores 159, physics scores 1,681, and random string sorting scores 44,494.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded scores in any of these tests. The head-to-head benchmark comparison table in the database is empty, and the wins counters for both processors are zero. This means there are no direct side-by-side measurements to compare. The only signals available are the AMD processor's actual scores and its near-rival relationships, which place it at a 0% delta from the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX, 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-14900F, 0.8% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D, and 0.8% behind the Intel Xeon Gold 6338T.

The data shows the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is statistically tied with these high-end desktop and mobile parts, all within a 1.6 percentage point band. Its average benchmark score of 60,104 sits almost exactly between the Ryzen 9 7945HX at 60,099 and the Core i9-14900F at 60,008. The Ryzen 9 7945HX3D trails by 0.8%, while the Xeon Gold 6338T leads by the same margin.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX wins in every benchmark category where data exists, simply because the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded results. The AMD part demonstrates balanced strength across integer and floating-point workloads. Its integer math score of 100,328 indicates strong general-purpose computation, while the floating-point score of 61,972 covers scientific and graphics-related calculations.

The data compression score of 363,759 is the highest raw number in the AMD profile, suggesting efficient handling of archival and data-streaming tasks. Encryption performance at 21,840 reflects AES or similar cryptographic workloads. The extended instructions score of 27,638 covers SIMD and vectorized code paths. Random string sorting at 44,494 points to database or text-processing efficiency. The physics score of 1,681 is comparatively lower, which aligns with a mobile processor's thermal envelope.

For the Intel Core 5 223PQE, the database shows no wins. The lack of benchmark data means the processor cannot be positioned against the AMD part in any workload category. The empty head-to-head table and zero wins for both sides confirm that no comparative measurements exist. The Intel part's market segment is listed as Desktop, while the AMD part targets Mobile, so their intended use cases differ, but no performance evidence supports a workload-specific advantage for the Intel processor.

The AMD processor's percentile rank of 92 versus the Intel part's 50 is the only direct metric separating them. Since the Intel percentile is based on zero average score, it likely reflects default or placeholder scoring. The AMD part's percentile is anchored by real measurements.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several recorded fields. The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, making it faster in both frequencies on paper.

Thermal design power differs sharply. The AMD part is rated at 55 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 125 watts. The socket types are distinct: AMD uses Socket FL1, and Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD processor is unlocked for multiplier adjustment, while the Intel processor is locked.

Memory support diverges. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the recorded memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s for AMD and 89.6 GB/s for Intel. The AMD part does not support ECC memory, while the Intel part does.

PCIe lane counts differ. The AMD processor provides Gen 5 with 28 lanes (CPU only), and the Intel processor provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 610M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The market segment is listed as Mobile for AMD and Desktop for Intel. Release dates differ, with the AMD part dated 2025-04-22 and the Intel part dated 2026-03-08. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $319; the AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Part numbers are 100-000001851 for AMD and SA4QC for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Dragon Range. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the codename Bartlett Lake and sits in the Core 5 generation. The AMD part is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm process at Intel. The AMD processor has 6,570 million transistors and a die size of 71 mm²; the Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded.

Core and thread counts match at 8 cores and 16 threads for both. Cache layouts differ. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. Neither has 3D V-Cache or a separate total L3 value recorded.

The AMD architecture is derived from the Zen 4 mobile line, which typically prioritizes power efficiency. The Intel part is a desktop product with a higher TDP, suggesting sustained heavy workloads. The AMD part's smaller process node and lower TDP indicate a focus on mobile thermal constraints, while the Intel part's larger node and higher power envelope target desktop performance. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, pointing to enthusiast tuning in mobile form. The Intel part has no such flexibility.

The AMD processor's L3 cache is 8 MB larger, which can benefit certain multi-core workloads. The Intel processor's larger L1 and L2 per core may improve latency-sensitive single-thread tasks. The Intel part supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the AMD part, which is relevant for reliability-focused desktop builds. The AMD part's 28 PCIe lanes versus Intel's 16 lanes offers more expansion headroom for storage and accelerators.

The Verdict

The database provides a clear performance profile for the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX and no profile for the Intel Core 5 223PQE. Any decision between the two rests on the AMD part's measured results and the Intel part's specifications alone.

The AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX should be selected when benchmark data matters. It has a 92nd percentile ranking, an average score of 60,104, and near-rival parity with high-end processors like the Ryzen 9 7945HX and Core i9-14900F. Its 55 watt TDP makes it suitable for mobile systems where power and thermals are constrained. The unlocked multiplier adds tuning flexibility. Its 28 PCIe lanes support extensive peripheral connectivity.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE should be selected when specific features are required. It offers a higher base clock of 4.00 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, which provides upgrade flexibility. ECC memory support is a distinct advantage for error-sensitive workloads. The launch MSRP of $319 is the only price reference in the database. Its 125 watt TDP and Desktop market segment indicate it targets stationary systems with robust cooling.

For users who require proven performance data, the AMD Ryzen 7 8745HX is the only choice with recorded results. The Intel Core 5 223PQE remains an unknown quantity in the database, with zero benchmark scores and an empty rival list. Its specification sheet shows competitive clocks and memory support, but without measurements, its actual performance cannot be quantified. The AMD part's performance is anchored by real scores and a tight cluster of near-rivals, making it the verifiable option. The Intel part's feature set, particularly ECC and DDR4 compatibility, gives it a niche appeal that the AMD part cannot address, but the lack of data prevents any performance endorsement.
