Intel Core 5 213PE vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct benchmark comparison between the Intel Core 5 213PE and the Intel Core 5 223PQE is constrained by the available data. The database contains a comprehensive benchmark profile for the 213PE, covering Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, along with a full PassMark suite. For the 223PQE, however, no individual benchmark scores are recorded. Consequently, a head-to-head comparison based on measured performance results is not possible from the current dataset.

The 213PE posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22468 and a single-core score of 3172. In Cinebench R20, it records 9436 multicore and 1332 single-core. The R15 results show 2264 multicore and 319 single-core. PassMark data for the 213PE includes a multithread score of 26434, a single-thread score of 4060, integer math at 92089, floating point math at 68587, and extended instructions at 19565.

Since the 223PQE has no recorded benchmarks, its performance profile cannot be quantified in this database. The average benchmark score for the 223PQE is listed as zero, and it holds a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs. In contrast, the 213PE achieves an average benchmark score of 35428 and sits at the 85th percentile.

The nearest rivals for the 213PE provide context for its standing. The Intel Core i7-13700T averages 35403, which places it 0.1% behind the 213PE. The Intel Core i7-12700KF scores 35365, a 0.2% deficit. The Intel Core i5-13600T is 0.3% behind at 35305, and the Intel Core i7-12700K trails by 0.4% with a score of 35287. These narrow margins indicate that the 213PE is positioned within a tightly clustered performance tier.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the same fundamental silicon. The Intel Core 5 213PE and the Intel Core 5 223PQE are built on the Bartlett Lake architecture, using Intel's 10 nm process node. Both are produced by Intel and belong to the same Core 5 generation. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The core configuration is identical. Each chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. The cache hierarchy matches as well: 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus, and both feature ECC memory support. PCIe connectivity is the same, with Gen 5 and 16 lanes available from the CPU.

The distinguishing architectural factors are clock speeds, power envelope, memory bandwidth, and integrated graphics. The 213PE operates with a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The 223PQE starts at a 4.00 GHz base clock and reaches 5.50 GHz at boost. This represents a substantial clock advantage for the 223PQE, with a 1.30 GHz higher base clock and a 0.30 GHz higher boost clock.

Thermal design power differs considerably. The 213PE is rated at 65 watts TDP, while the 223PQE is rated at 125 watts TDP. The higher power envelope of the 223PQE aligns with its higher clock speeds, indicating a more aggressive power delivery profile.

Memory bandwidth also varies. The 213PE supports up to 76.8 GB/s, whereas the 223PQE supports up to 89.6 GB/s. This 12.8 GB/s difference suggests the 223PQE can feed its higher clocked cores more effectively.

The integrated graphics differ between the two. The 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the 223PQE uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, but the 770 model in the 223PQE represents a newer or higher-tier graphics block.

Specification Differences

The following fields differ between the Intel Core 5 213PE and the Intel Core 5 223PQE:

• Base Clock: 2.70 GHz vs 4.00 GHz
• Boost Clock: 5.20 GHz vs 5.50 GHz
• TDP: 65 watts vs 125 watts
• Memory Bandwidth: 76.8 GB/s vs 89.6 GB/s

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two processors from the same architectural family with distinct operating profiles. The 213PE has a complete benchmark record, placing it at the 85th percentile with an average score of 35428. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.4% of its score, placing it in a competitive band of desktop processors.

The 223PQE has no benchmark data recorded, resulting in a 50th percentile ranking and an average score of zero. This absence of performance data makes any direct comparison of measured output impossible.

From a specification standpoint, the 223PQE holds advantages in raw clock speed, power envelope, memory bandwidth, and integrated graphics. The base clock gap is significant: 4.00 GHz versus 2.70 GHz. The boost clock also favors the 223PQE by 0.30 GHz. The higher TDP of 125 watts supports this clock advantage, while the 213PE's 65 watt rating indicates a more efficiency-oriented design.

The 213PE, however, has verified performance data showing strong results. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22468 and single-core score of 3172 represent solid figures within its class. Its PassMark multithread score of 26434 further confirms its capabilities. The percentile ranking of 85 places it well above the 223PQE's 50th percentile, though this ranking for the 223PQE is based on an empty benchmark record and should be interpreted cautiously.

The database does not support a definitive performance winner because the 223PQE lacks measured scores. The 213PE demonstrates its capability through extensive testing, while the 223PQE's capabilities remain unquantified in the current dataset.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins in the area of verified performance data. Its benchmark suite is complete and shows competitive results against established rivals. The 0.1% to 0.4% margins over the Core i7-13700T, Core i7-12700KF, Core i5-13600T, and Core i7-12700K indicate it sits at a performance equilibrium with these processors. Its 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms a high relative standing.

The 213PE also wins on power efficiency. Its 65 watt TDP is substantially lower than the 223PQE's 125 watts. For systems where thermal output and power draw are priorities, the 213PE presents a more restrained profile.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE wins on raw clock specifications. Its 4.00 GHz base clock and 5.50 GHz boost clock exceed the 213PE's corresponding figures. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s gives it an advantage in data throughput capacity. Its UHD Graphics 770 integrated solution is a higher-tier graphics block than the UHD Graphics 730 found in the 213PE.

The 223PQE also carries a higher launch MSRP of $319, compared to the 213PE's launch MSRP of $221.

For workloads that rely on high clock speeds and memory throughput, the specification sheet favors the 223PQE. For workloads where verified benchmark results and lower power consumption matter, the 213PE has the stronger evidence in the database. The choice between the two hinges on whether the 223PQE's unmeasured clock advantages translate into real performance gains, a question the current data cannot answer.
