AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any head-to-head benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 and the Intel Core 5 223PQE. The recorded data shows the AMD processor has a substantial set of benchmark scores, while the Intel processor has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means a direct score-by-score comparison is impossible with the available measurements.

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 delivers an average benchmark score of 26936, placing it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. Its nearest rivals show how tightly clustered its performance is: it sits 0.1% above the Intel Core i7-1370P, 0.3% above the AMD Ryzen 5 7545U, 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, and 0.6% below the Intel Core i9-9900K. These are all narrow margins, suggesting the Ryzen AI 7 445 performs at a level comparable to mid-to-high-end processors from previous generations.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and a 50th percentile ranking. No individual benchmark scores are available for it. The absence of data prevents any meaningful numerical comparison between the two processors. The AMD part clearly has measurable performance in the database, while the Intel part is a blank slate.

For the AMD processor specifically, the Cinebench scores provide insight into its productivity potential. In Cinebench R23, it scores 10590 in multi-core and 1806 in single-core. In the older Cinebench R15 test, it achieves 1723 multi-core and 254 single-core. These figures indicate a balanced performer that handles both heavily threaded workloads and lightly threaded tasks without a dramatic skew toward either extreme.

The PassMark suite for the AMD chip shows strong integer math performance at 58332, floating point math at 39362, and extended instructions at 15826. Data compression reaches 215812, while data encryption hits 10519. Random string sorting scores 23488, and prime number finding scores 56. The multithread score is 18115, with a physics score of 976 and a single-thread score of 3591. These results confirm the processor's capability across varied computational patterns, from encryption to sorting to physics simulation.

Because the Intel Core 5 223PQE has zero recorded benchmarks, there are no wins to attribute to either side in this comparison. The data simply does not support a head-to-head verdict based on measured performance. The only concrete conclusion is that the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is a measured, active processor with documented results, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE is listed in the database but lacks any performance measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 uses the Zen 5 architecture under the codename Gorgon Point, built on a 4 nm process node by TSMC. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 400 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process node by Intel, and belongs to the Core 5 generation. The manufacturing difference is stark: AMD outsources to TSMC at 4 nm, while Intel fabricates its own silicon at 10 nm.

Cache configurations diverge significantly. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a total of 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip matches the L1 cache at 80 KB per core but doubles the L2 to 2 MB per core and offers 24 MB of shared L3 cache. That is six times the L3 capacity, a significant advantage for workloads that repeatedly access large data sets. The Intel part also has two additional cores and four additional threads, giving it more raw parallel capacity.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus and report the same memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory, which is notable for workstation-class reliability. The AMD part supports PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip's PCIe Gen 5 support offers twice the bandwidth per lane for compatible devices.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor includes Radeon 840M graphics, while the Intel processor includes UHD Graphics 770. The market segments are distinct: AMD targets mobile with its Socket FP8, while Intel targets desktop with Socket 1700. The thermal design also diverges sharply, with AMD at a 28 W TDP and Intel at 125 W TDP, though the exact implications of that difference are left to the data.

Clock speeds show a substantial gap. The AMD chip has a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part starts higher and finishes higher, though without benchmark data, the measured impact of these clock differences cannot be quantified.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one clear verdict: the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 has verified performance measurements, and the Intel Core 5 223PQE does not. Users who require benchmark-validated performance from the database must look to the AMD part, as its 15 scores across Cinebench and PassMark provide a complete picture of its capabilities. The Intel part offers no measured evidence, despite its higher core count, higher clocks, larger cache, and newer PCIe standard.

For workloads where the database has data, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 shows a balanced profile. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10590 and single-core score of 1806 indicate it handles both parallel and single-threaded tasks without a severe bottleneck. Its PassMark multithread score of 18115 and single-thread score of 3591 reinforce this balance. The processor's 79th percentile ranking places it above the majority of CPUs in the database, with its nearest rivals all within 0.6% of its average score.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE cannot be recommended based on database measurements because none exist. Its specifications suggest a different design philosophy: more cores, more threads, a larger L3 cache, higher clock speeds, and desktop-oriented power characteristics. But specifications alone are not measurements. A user who relies strictly on recorded data will find the AMD processor to be the only option with demonstrated results.

The choice between the two depends on whether specifications or measurements take priority. For data-driven decisions, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is the only processor with evidence in the database. For users willing to consider unmeasured specifications, the Intel part offers a different feature set, but the data cannot validate its actual performance.

Both processors share an L1 cache of 80 KB per core, a dual-channel memory bus, 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, ECC memory support, a locked multiplier, and active production status. The AMD part uses a 4 nm process, supports LPDDR5X in addition to DDR5, and offers PCIe Gen 4. The Intel part uses a 10 nm process, supports DDR4 in addition to DDR5, and offers PCIe Gen 5.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 wins in the database because it has measurements. Every benchmark score attributed to either processor belongs to the AMD chip. For Cinebench R23, it scores 10590 multi-core and 1806 single-core. For Cinebench R15, it scores 1723 multi-core and 254 single-core. The PassMark suite shows its strengths across distinct task types: integer math at 58332, floating point math at 39362, extended instructions at 15826, data compression at 215812, data encryption at 10519, random string sorting at 23488, prime number finding at 56, multithread at 18115, physics at 976, and single-thread at 3591. These scores define where the AMD chip wins: anywhere a measured result exists.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE wins on paper specifications. It has more cores, more threads, a higher base clock, a higher boost clock, a larger L2 cache per core, a much larger L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and DDR4 compatibility. These are all advantages that could translate to real-world performance, but the database contains no evidence that they do. The Intel part also has a launch MSRP of $319, which is a listed fact, but pricing comparisons are not part of this analysis.

For use-case selection based strictly on the data, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 is the choice for any workload where benchmark scores matter, because those scores exist. Its balanced multi-core and single-core results suggest it handles mixed productivity workloads without a clear weakness. The Intel Core 5 223PQE is the choice for users who prioritize the specifications listed above, but they must accept that no measured performance data supports those specifications. The database cannot confirm any wins for the Intel processor because it has no recorded wins at all.
