Intel Core 3 100UL vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core 3 100UL and the Intel Core 5 223PTE contains no completed benchmark runs. The database shows an empty benchmark array for both processors, and the head-to-head comparison table is likewise empty. Consequently, there are no measured scores, no delta percentages, and no win counts to report between these two desktop parts. The percentile fields place both at the 50th percentile against all CPUs in the database, but this is a rank placeholder rather than a performance measurement; without actual benchmark submissions, that figure carries no comparative weight.

The absence of scores means the database cannot confirm which processor is faster in single-threaded, multi-threaded, or integrated graphics workloads. The wins counters for both items are set to zero, which reflects the lack of any completed comparison events. A reader scanning the database for a direct performance verdict will find none. The only actionable conclusions come from the architectural and specification fields, which describe what these processors are designed to do, not how they currently perform in recorded tests.

The Verdict

Strictly from the data, the Intel Core 5 223PTE is the more substantial processor on paper. It carries 8 cores and 16 threads versus the Core 3 100UL's 6 cores and 8 threads. Its base clock of 2.30 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz exceed the Core 3's 1.20 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost. The Core 5 also holds a 45 W TDP, compared to the Core 3's 15 W TDP, indicating the Core 5 is configured for higher sustained power draw and, by extension, higher throughput in sustained workloads. The Core 5's L3 cache is 24 MB shared versus 10 MB shared on the Core 3, and its L2 cache is 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core. These are clear specification advantages for the Core 5.

The Core 3 100UL is the lower-power, lower-core-count part. Its 15 W TDP makes it the more conservative choice for thermally constrained systems, and its smaller cache and fewer threads align with lighter workloads. The Core 3 also uses PCIe Gen 4 with 8 CPU lanes, while the Core 5 uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Core 5's memory bandwidth is listed at 89.6 GB/s, a figure the Core 3 does not report. The Core 5 supports ECC memory; the Core 3 does not.

Which processor to pick depends on the role. The Core 5 223PTE suits systems that need more cores, more cache, higher clocks, ECC support, and faster PCIe connectivity. The Core 3 100UL suits systems that prioritize lower power draw and a smaller footprint. Neither has benchmark scores to validate real-world performance, so the decision rests on the recorded specifications alone.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural families. The Intel Core 3 100UL is based on Raptor Lake, specifically the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and belongs to the Core 3 (Raptor Lake-PS) generation. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation. Both are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry, but the underlying design lineage differs.

Cache structures diverge significantly. The Core 3 has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 5 also has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, but its L2 cache is 2 MB per core, and its shared L3 cache is 24 MB. The Core 5's larger cache hierarchy is consistent with its higher core count and thread count, allowing more data to reside closer to the execution units.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Core 3 uses UHD Graphics 64EU, while the Core 5 uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not list execution unit counts for the Core 5's graphics, so a direct EU comparison is not possible from the recorded data. Both parts are active in production status, and both use the Intel Socket 1700.

The Core 5 supports ECC memory, a feature absent from the Core 3. Its PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes, versus Gen 4 with 8 lanes on the Core 3. The Core 5 also reports a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Core 3 does not list a bandwidth figure. These architectural differences point to the Core 5 being positioned for more demanding, reliability-oriented workloads.
