AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data positions the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and the Intel Core 5 223PTE in different performance classes despite both featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. The AMD part holds an 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs and carries a substantial average benchmark score of 39,603, while the Intel part sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded average score in the database. Benchmark results indicate the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the only one of the two with measured performance data, making it the clear choice for workloads where the database has actual figures to analyze.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE, by contrast, shows a 50th percentile ranking and zero recorded average benchmark score. This absence of data means the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for the Intel part at this time. The AMD processor delivers measured multi-threaded and single-threaded results across Cinebench and Passmark tests, while the Intel chip has none. For users selecting between these two based on available evidence, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS is the only option with verifiable performance, placing it ahead in every category the database tracks.

The Intel chip targets a different market segment entirely, listed as a desktop processor with a 45 TDP, while the AMD part is a mobile processor with a 28 TDP. The data suggests these chips serve different form factors, with the AMD part designed for power-sensitive mobile systems and the Intel part for desktop builds. The Intel chip does carry a launch MSRP of $232, which the database records, but without benchmark scores, its performance class remains unquantified.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS wins in every measured benchmark category because the database contains results for it and none for the Intel Core 5 223PTE. The recorded data shows the AMD processor scoring 14,784 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,724 in Cinebench R23 single-core. It also records 2,458 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 271.5 in Cinebench R15 single-core. These figures represent the full extent of measured performance in the database, and the Intel part has no comparable entries.

The AMD chip also delivers strong Passmark results across several workloads. It records 93,342 in integer math, 55,739 in floating point math, and 31,1199 in data compression. The data encryption score sits at 18,838, while extended instructions reach 22,298. The multi-thread score is 26,646, and the single-thread score is 3,692. The physics test records 1,351, random string sorting reaches 37,922, and the prime number search scores 84. These are the only benchmark wins recorded, and they all belong to the AMD processor.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE shows no wins in the database because no benchmark results are listed for it. Its only recorded attributes are architectural and physical specifications. The data shows the Intel part has a higher boost clock at 5.40 GHz compared to the AMD chip's 5.10 GHz, but without benchmark scores, this clock advantage cannot be translated into a performance win. The Intel chip also has a larger L3 cache at 24 MB shared versus the AMD part's 16 MB shared, but again, no measured results confirm whether this translates into an actual advantage.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Hawk Point codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The database records 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded. These process node differences indicate the AMD chip uses a more advanced manufacturing process, which typically allows for higher efficiency at lower power draw, though the database does not confirm this directly.

The cache hierarchies differ between the two processors. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has larger caches at every level, which could benefit certain workloads, but the lack of benchmark data prevents confirmation. The AMD chip uses the AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700, reflecting their different platform requirements.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses with identical memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory, confirmed in the database. For PCIe, the AMD part uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This means the Intel chip has a newer PCIe standard with higher potential bandwidth per lane, though fewer total lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD chip uses the Radeon 780M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not record benchmark scores for either integrated GPU, so their relative graphics performance cannot be compared. The AMD part is listed as a mobile processor with a 28 TDP, while the Intel part is a desktop processor with a 45 TDP, indicating the AMD chip is designed for lower power envelopes typical of laptops and compact systems.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS and the Intel Core 5 223PTE. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both processors. This means no direct comparative measurements exist in the recorded data. However, the AMD processor has a full set of standalone benchmark results, while the Intel processor has none.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS records its most significant results in Cinebench R23 multi-core at 14,784 and Passmark integer math at 93,342. The floating point math score reaches 55,739, and the multi-thread score is 26,646. The single-thread Passmark score is 3,692, while the Cinebench R23 single-core score is 1,724. The data compression score is 311,199, which represents the highest individual figure across all recorded tests for the AMD part. These numbers define the AMD processor's measured capability, and the Intel chip has no comparable entries to set against them.

The nearest rivals for the AMD chip provide context for its performance class. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 450 has an average score of 39,485, which is 0.3 percent lower than the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS. The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D scores 39,768, which is 0.4 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS scores 39,325, which is 0.7 percent lower, and the AMD EPYC 4245P scores 39,215, which is 1 percent lower. These deltas show the Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS sits competitively within a tight cluster of AMD processors, all within a 1 percent band of each other.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no nearest rivals listed and no average benchmark score, leaving its performance position undefined in the database. The percentile ranking of 50 places it at the midpoint of all CPUs, but without measured scores, this ranking cannot be cross-referenced against the AMD part's specific results. The AMD processor's 87th percentile ranking and average score of 39,603 provide a concrete reference point that the Intel chip lacks.
