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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a complete benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries listed. This means the head-to-head comparison is asymmetrical: all measured scores come from the AMD side, and the Intel part serves as a reference point for architectural and specification comparison rather than for direct performance deltas.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20254 and a single-core score of 2859. In Cinebench R20, the same processor records 8506 multi-core and 1200 single-core. The R15 run shows 2041 multi-core and 288 single-core. These scores place the AMD part at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database.

PassMark results for the AMD processor include a multi-thread score of 23850 and a single-thread score of 3641. Integer math reaches 88339, floating point math 50746, and extended instructions 19132. Data compression scores 272664, data encryption 16441, and random string sorting 33109. The physics test records 1174, while the find prime numbers test returns 76.

The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is 32233. Its nearest rivals in the database are all Intel parts: the Core i9-11900 at 32226 with a delta of 0%, the Core i5-14400F at 32279 with a delta of -0.1%, the Core i7-12800H at 32121 with a delta of 0.3%, and the Core i5-14400 at 32115 with a delta of 0.4%. These deltas show the AMD part sits within a tight band of roughly 0.5% of four established Intel CPUs, indicating comparable aggregate performance despite the architectural differences.

Since the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores and no nearest rivals, no direct head-to-head wins can be assigned to either side. The database records winsA as 0 and winsB as 0. The available analysis therefore relies on the AMD part’s measured results and the Intel part’s specification sheet.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Hawk Point, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 8 cores and 16 threads. The transistor count is listed as 25,000 million, and the die size is 178 mm². The processor belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 7 generation, with the production status marked as Active.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is manufactured on a 10 nm process at Intel. It also contains 8 cores and 16 threads. Intel lists no architecture designation in the database, no transistor count, and no die size. The generation field reads Core 5 (Bartlett Lake), and the production status is Active.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel design has more L1 and L2 per core and a larger L3 pool, which can influence workloads that depend on cache residency.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, while the Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both run dual-channel memory buses, and both list memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory support is present on both parts.

PCIe capability is a clear differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only). The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part provides a newer PCIe generation but fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part carries the Radeon 780M, while the Intel part carries UHD Graphics 770. No benchmark scores are recorded for either integrated GPU in the database.

Clock speeds show the Intel part with a higher boost. The AMD base clock is 3.30 GHz and boost is 5.10 GHz. The Intel base clock is 2.30 GHz and boost is 5.40 GHz. The Intel part boosts higher but starts from a lower base.

Thermal design power is not equal: the AMD part is rated at 28 W, the Intel part at 45 W. This places the AMD processor in a lower power envelope despite the mobile market segment, while the Intel processor targets the desktop segment with a higher power allowance.

Socket compatibility separates the two entirely. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket FP7, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. No cross-platform mounting is possible.

Release timing also differs. The AMD part carries a release date of 2024-04-15, while the Intel part carries a release date of 2026-03-08.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors with identical core and thread counts but divergent design goals. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U is a mobile part with an 83rd percentile standing, a 4 nm process, and a substantial set of recorded benchmark scores averaging 32233. Its nearest rivals are four Intel desktop and mobile parts clustered within 0.4% of its average score, which indicates competitive aggregate performance against established CPUs.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE is a desktop part with no recorded benchmarks, a 50th percentile standing, and an average score of zero. Its specification sheet shows a higher boost clock, larger caches, DDR4 compatibility, and PCIe Gen 5 support. The 45 W TDP and Socket 1700 target desktop platforms, while the AMD part’s 28 W TDP and FP7 socket target mobile platforms.

From the recorded data alone, the AMD part is the only one with measurable performance evidence. The Intel part cannot be ranked against the AMD part in any benchmark because no scores exist for it. The specification differences suggest the Intel part may hold advantages in cache-heavy or memory-flexible workloads, but no measured confirmation appears in the database.

The launch MSRP for the Intel Core 5 223PTE is $232. The AMD part has no launch MSRP listed.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U wins in every measured benchmark category because it is the only part with benchmark entries. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20254 and single-core score of 2859, along with PassMark multi-thread 23850 and single-thread 3641, provide the sole quantitative performance evidence in this comparison. Its 83rd percentile ranking and average score of 32233 place it among capable mainstream processors.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins on specification advantages where no benchmark is needed. It offers a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz, a larger L3 cache of 24 MB shared, larger L1 and L2 per core, dual memory support for DDR4 and DDR5, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and a desktop market segment. These attributes matter for platform flexibility and raw specification comparisons, but the database contains no measured scores to confirm their real-world impact.

The use-case split follows the recorded data. For applications requiring validated multi-core and single-core performance, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U has the only available evidence. For desktop builds that need DDR4 compatibility or PCIe Gen 5 connectivity, the Intel Core 5 223PTE offers the specification support, though its performance remains unmeasured in this database.
