AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the Intel Core 5 223PQE. However, the recorded measurements for the AMD part provide a clear picture of its standalone performance, while the Intel part has no benchmark scores recorded in the database at all. This absence of data for the Intel Core 5 223PQE means that no direct score comparisons, win counts, or delta percentages can be calculated between the two processors.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is built on the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Granite Ridge, part of the 9000 series. It is manufactured by AMD on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, with 8,315 million transistors and a die size of 70.6 mm². The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the codename Bartlett Lake and is manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process node, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database. The architecture field for the Intel part is not specified.

The cache layouts differ substantially between the two parts. Both have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache differs: the AMD part has 1 MB per core, while the Intel part has 2 MB per core. The L3 cache favors AMD heavily, with 96 MB shared versus 24 MB shared on the Intel part. This 72 MB difference in shared L3 capacity is the most significant architectural distinction recorded.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and both support ECC memory.

The AMD part has an average benchmark score of 39768 and an 87th percentile ranking, while the Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking.

The Verdict

The data in the database supports only one side of this comparison with measured results. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has a full suite of benchmark scores across 3DMark, Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark, with an average score of 39768 and an 87th percentile ranking. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and no nearest rivals in the database. Any performance-based selection between these two processors must rely entirely on the AMD part's measured data.

The AMD part shows strong multithreaded and single-threaded results in the recorded tests. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23230 and Geekbench multicore score of 18696 indicate solid all-core throughput. The single-core Cinebench R23 score of 2080 and Geekbench single-core score of 2964 confirm competitive lightly threaded performance. The PassMark multithread score of 40009 and single-thread score of 4430 align with the other suites.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE offers a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 5.20 GHz on the AMD part, a lower base clock of 4.00 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, and a larger L2 cache of 2 MB per core versus 1 MB per core. However, the AMD part carries a much larger L3 cache at 96 MB versus 24 MB, uses a newer 4 nm process node versus 10 nm, and provides 24 PCIe lanes versus 16. The AMD part also has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part is locked.

For users choosing strictly from the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the only processor with measured performance to analyze. Its benchmark scores place it at the 87th percentile, and its nearest rivals all sit within one percent of its average score. The Intel Core 5 223PQE cannot be positioned relative to the AMD part or any other processor because the database contains no benchmark results for it. The specification sheet for the Intel part shows a higher boost clock and larger per-core L2 cache, but without test scores, the database cannot confirm how those specifications translate into measured performance. The AMD part is the one with a complete recorded performance profile.
