Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 223PE has substantial benchmark data recorded in the database, while the Intel Core 5 130HL has no benchmark entries. This means all quantified performance comparisons rely on the 223PE's scores and its position relative to other processors in the database.

The 223PE delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 26,455 points and a single-core score of 3,734 points. In Cinebench R20, it records 11,111 points multi-core and 1,568 points single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2,666 points multi-core and 376 points single-core.

PassMark results for the 223PE are comprehensive. The multithread score is 31,124 points, with a single-thread score of 4,219 points. Integer math reaches 99,819 points, floating point math hits 76,468 points, and extended instructions score 24,672 points. Data compression scores 346,623 points, data encryption scores 18,448 points, and random string sorting scores 35,798 points. Prime number finding scores 159 points, and physics processing scores 2,493 points.

The database records an average benchmark score of 40,585 for the 223PE. Its percentile ranking against all CPUs is 87, placing it well above the midpoint of the database. The nearest rivals provide context: the Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40,557, a delta of 0.1% behind; the Intel Xeon 6357P scores 40,630, a delta of -0.1% ahead; the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H scores 40,518, a delta of 0.2% behind; and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G scores 40,718, a delta of -0.3% ahead. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating the 223PE sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

For the Intel Core 5 130HL, no benchmark scores exist in the database. Consequently, no direct head-to-head wins can be quantified. The 130HL's percentile ranking is 50, which is exactly the median of the database, but this is not derived from measured benchmark results for that part. The analysis of the 130HL must rely on architectural specifications rather than recorded performance data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same manufacturer, Intel, and the same socket, Intel Socket 1700. Both use a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Intel Core 5 130HL uses 12 cores and 16 threads. The 130HL is based on the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, belonging to the Core 5 generation from that family. The Intel Core 5 223PE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Bartlett Lake codename, also belonging to the Core 5 generation. The 223PE achieves 16 threads with 8 cores, which indicates hyper-threading is present. The 130HL's 16 threads from 12 cores follows the same pattern of enabled hyper-threading.

Clock speeds differ. The 130HL has a 2.60 GHz base clock and a 4.80 GHz boost clock. The 223PE has a 2.90 GHz base clock and a 5.20 GHz boost clock. The 223PE is higher in both figures.

Cache hierarchies show both similarities and differences. Both processors list L1 cache as 80 KB per core and L2 cache as 2 MB per core. The shared L3 cache differs: the 130HL has 18 MB shared, while the 223PE has 24 MB shared.

Memory bandwidth is quantified only for the 223PE at 89.6 GB/s. The 130HL has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. ECC memory support differs: the 130HL does not support ECC, while the 223PE does support ECC.

PCIe capabilities differ. The 130HL provides Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The 223PE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This is a substantial difference in both generation and lane count.

Integrated graphics differ. The 130HL uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units. The 223PE uses UHD Graphics 730. Both are integrated solutions, but they represent different graphics architectures.

Production status is Active for both. The 130HL has a release date of April 2024, while the 223PE has a release date of March 2026. The 223PE has a launch MSRP of $232; the 130HL has no launch MSRP recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 223PE wins in every area where quantified data exists. Its higher base clock of 2.90 GHz and boost clock of 5.20 GHz give it a clock speed advantage over the 130HL's 2.60 GHz and 4.80 GHz. The 223PE also has more L3 cache, 24 MB versus 18 MB, which can benefit workloads with large working sets.

The 223PE's PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes is a clear advantage over the 130HL's PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. This allows the 223PE to support more bandwidth-hungry expansion devices and newer storage or graphics solutions.

ECC memory support on the 223PE is a differentiator. The 130HL does not support ECC, so the 223PE is the only one of the pair suitable for memory-error-sensitive environments.

The 223PE's benchmark percentile of 87 indicates strong placement among all CPUs in the database. The 130HL's percentile of 50 is the median, but without benchmark scores for the 130HL, this cannot be attributed to measured performance. The 223PE's average benchmark score of 40,585 places it within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G and within 0.2% of the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, showing competitive standing against recent processors.

The Intel Core 5 130HL wins in core count, offering 12 cores versus the 223PE's 8 cores. This gives the 130HL a raw core-count advantage for heavily parallel workloads, assuming software scales with core count. The 130HL also has a lower TDP of 45 watts versus the 223PE's 65 watts, indicating lower power draw, though the database does not provide efficiency measurements.

The Verdict

The Intel Core 5 223PE is the processor with measured performance data. Its average benchmark score of 40,585 and 87th percentile placement show it performs near the top of the database, with its closest rivals all within 0.3% of its score. The 223PE offers higher clocks, more L3 cache, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, ECC memory support, and a quantified memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration is sufficient to reach a 26,455 multi-core score in Cinebench R23 and a 31,124 multithread score in PassMark.

The Intel Core 5 130HL has no benchmark scores in the database. Its strengths are architectural: 12 cores provide more physical cores, and its 45 W TDP indicates lower power consumption than the 223PE's 65 W. However, the 130HL has no recorded performance data, no ECC support, older PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes, less L3 cache, and lower clock speeds.

For users prioritizing measured performance, the data points clearly to the 223PE. It holds its own against the Intel Core 7 253PE, Intel Xeon 6357P, Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, and AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G, with deltas of only 0.1% to 0.3%. The 223PE also carries a launch MSRP of $232, which is the only pricing information in the database.

For users prioritizing core count and lower power draw, the 130HL has the advantage on paper. Its 12 cores exceed the 223PE's 8 cores, and its 45 W TDP is lower. But without benchmark data, the practical performance of the 130HL cannot be verified from the database. The verdict from the recorded data is that the 223PE is the better-documented and higher-performing option, while the 130HL remains a specification-only entry with unverified performance.
