Intel Core 3 N350 vs Intel Core 5 223PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Core 3 N350 and Intel Core 5 223PTE. The Core 3 N350 has a full set of recorded measurements across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark tests, while the Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries in the database at this time. This absence of comparative data means the recorded scores for the Core 3 N350 stand alone, with no rival measurements from the Core 5 223PTE to place them against.

The Core 3 N350 posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6274 and a single-core score of 885. In Cinebench R20, it records 2635 multicore and 371 single-core. The R15 results show 632 multicore and 89 single-core. PassMark results include an average benchmark score of 9903, with a multithread score of 7382 and a single-thread score of 1974. Additional PassMark measurements show integer math at 27669, floating point math at 17781, data compression at 80444, data encryption at 5693, extended instructions at 3981, find prime numbers at 20, physics at 446, and random string sorting at 10102.

The Core 3 N350 sits at the 66th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-3770 with an average score of 9706 and a delta of 2 percent, the Intel Core i5-1035G1 with an average score of 9684 and a delta of 2.3 percent, the AMD EPYC 7F52 with an average score of 10159 and a delta of -2.5 percent, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 with an average score of 10230 and a delta of -3.2 percent. The Core 3 N350 trails the EPYC 7F52 and Xeon Platinum 8280 by 2.5 and 3.2 percent respectively, while edging past both Core i7-3770 and Core i5-1035G1 by single-digit percentage margins.

The Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark scores recorded, no head-to-head results, and no rival entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The lack of data prevents any quantitative comparison between the two processors in this section.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their underlying design. The Intel Core 3 N350 uses the Twin Lake architecture with a codename of Twin Lake, belonging to the Core 3 generation from Alder Lake-N. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The Core 5 223PTE carries the codename Bartlett Lake and belongs to the Core 5 generation from Bartlett Lake, also on a 10 nm process node at Intel. Both chips are manufactured by Intel on the same process node, but the architectural lineage differs completely.

Core configuration separates them further. The Core 3 N350 has 8 cores and 8 threads, indicating no hyper-threading support. The Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads, doubling the thread count through simultaneous multithreading. Cache hierarchies also differ markedly. The Core 3 N350 provides 96 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of shared L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 5 223PTE offers 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core 5 223PTE has four times the L3 capacity of the Core 3 N350, and its per-core L2 allocation is substantially larger.

Clock speeds show a wide gap. The Core 3 N350 has a base clock of 0.10 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. The Core 5 223PTE has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Core 5 223PTE runs at over 20 times the base clock of the Core 3 N350 and boosts 1.5 GHz higher.

Memory support and platform features diverge. The Core 3 N350 supports DDR4, DDR5, and LPDDR5 memory through a single-channel memory bus with 38.4 GB/s bandwidth. It has no ECC memory support. The Core 5 223PTE supports DDR4 and DDR5 through a dual-channel memory bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and it includes ECC memory support. The Core 5 223PTE offers more than double the memory bandwidth of the Core 3 N350.

PCIe capabilities differ substantially. The Core 3 N350 provides PCIe Gen 3 with 9 lanes from the CPU. The Core 5 223PTE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. This represents a two-generation jump in PCIe technology and nearly double the lane count.

Both processors integrate UHD Graphics 770. The Core 3 N350 targets the mobile market segment, while the Core 5 223PTE targets the desktop market segment. Socket types differ: the Core 3 N350 uses Intel BGA 1264, while the Core 5 223PTE uses Intel Socket 1700. Thermal design power shows a significant split: the Core 3 N350 is rated at 7 watts, while the Core 5 223PTE is rated at 45 watts. The Core 5 223PTE consumes over six times the thermal envelope of the Core 3 N350.

Release dates differ by over a year. The Core 3 N350 was released on January 6, 2025, while the Core 5 223PTE has a release date of March 8, 2026. Both processors are currently listed as active in production. Neither has an unlocked multiplier. Part numbers are SRPNS for the Core 3 N350 and SA4QL for the Core 5 223PTE.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 3 N350 has measurable strengths in the recorded data, but the Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark results to compare. The Core 3 N350's 66th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it outperforms a majority of the database's tracked processors. Its nearest rival comparisons show it within 3.2 percent of the Xeon Platinum 8280 and 2.5 percent of the EPYC 7F52, while slightly ahead of the Core i7-3770 and Core i5-1035G1. This positioning places the Core 3 N350 in a competitive mid-range band for its measured workloads.

The Core 3 N350's PassMark data compression score of 80444 stands out as its strongest relative result, suggesting efficient handling of compression workloads. Its integer math score of 27669 and floating point math score of 17781 indicate solid arithmetic throughput. The single-thread score of 1974, combined with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 885, shows modest single-thread performance consistent with its low base clock.

The Core 5 223PTE's architectural advantages suggest where it would likely win in hypothetical comparisons. Its 16 threads versus 8 threads, dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth versus single-channel with 38.4 GB/s, and 24 MB of L3 cache versus 6 MB all point to superior multi-threaded and memory-intensive workloads. The 5.40 GHz boost clock versus 3.90 GHz also indicates a strong single-thread advantage. The PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 3 with 9 lanes gives the Core 5 223PTE a clear edge in I/O-heavy applications.

The Core 3 N350 wins on power efficiency, with a 7 watt TDP versus 45 watts for the Core 5 223PTE. The mobile form factor with BGA 1264 socketing suits compact, low-power systems. The Core 5 223PTE's desktop socket 1700 and higher thermal envelope target performance-oriented desktop builds. ECC memory support on the Core 5 223PTE gives it an advantage in reliability-sensitive workloads, a feature absent from the Core 3 N350.
