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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains comprehensive benchmark results for the Intel Core 5 213PE, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries in the current dataset. This makes a direct score-by-score comparison impossible. However, the 213PE's performance profile can be positioned against its nearest rivals to establish its competitive standing, and the 223PTE's specification differences provide a basis for expected behavior.

The Intel Core 5 213PE posts an average benchmark score of 35428 across all recorded tests. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700T, scores 35403, a delta of 0.1 percent in favor of the 213PE. The Intel Core i7-12700KF trails by 0.2 percent with a score of 35365. The Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35305, a 0.3 percent gap, and the Intel Core i7-12700K scores 35287, a 0.4 percent gap. These margins are tight, indicating the 213PE sits in a performance band comparable to these established desktop and low-power parts.

In Cinebench R23, the 213PE delivers a multicore score of 22468 and a single-core score of 3172. The R20 run shows 9436 multicore and 1332 single-core. R15 results are 2264 multicore and 319 single-core. The PassMark suite reinforces this pattern: multithread score of 26434, single-thread score of 4060, integer math at 92089, floating point math at 68587, and extended instructions at 19565. Data compression reaches 298804, while data encryption hits 15916. Physics workloads score 1624, random string sorting scores 32027, and find prime numbers scores 114. The 213PE holds an 85th percentile ranking against all CPUs in the database, a strong placement for a desktop processor.

Since the 223PTE has no benchmark records, its wins count is zero, and the head-to-head table is empty. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural and specification comparisons, which reveal meaningful differences in clock strategy, power envelope, memory bandwidth, and integrated graphics. The 213PE's boost clock of 5.20 GHz is lower than the 223PTE's 5.40 GHz, but the 213PE's base clock of 2.70 GHz is higher than the 223PTE's 2.30 GHz. The 213PE carries a 65 watt TDP, while the 223PTE operates at 45 watts. These numbers suggest the 223PTE is tuned for lower sustained power draw with a higher ceiling, while the 213PE holds a faster idle and moderate-load baseline.

Architecture Differences

Both processors share the Bartlett Lake codename and belong to the Core 5 generation. Both use a 10 nm process node fabricated by Intel. Both are desktop parts with active production status. The core configuration is identical: 8 cores and 16 threads on an Intel Socket 1700. Cache hierarchies match exactly, with 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. Neither part has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not an option from the factory.

The key architectural divergence appears in power management and memory subsystem. The 223PTE's 45 watt TDP versus the 213PE's 65 watt TDP indicates a different binning strategy for thermal and power constrained environments. The 223PTE also supports a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s compared to the 213PE's 76.8 GB/s, a 16.7 percent increase despite both using dual-channel memory. This suggests the 223PTE's integrated memory controller is configured for higher transfer rates, which could benefit memory-intensive workloads even at lower base clocks.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the 223PTE steps up to UHD Graphics 770. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and both enable ECC memory support. PCIe connectivity matches at Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The 223PTE carries a higher launch MSRP of $232 compared to the 213PE's $221, reflecting its additional features. Neither part shows a series designation, and both have identical release dates.

FAQ

Q: Which processor has a higher boost clock?

A: The Intel Core 5 223PTE boosts to 5.40 GHz, while the Intel Core 5 213PE boosts to 5.20 GHz. The 223PTE holds a 0.20 GHz advantage in peak single-core frequency.

Q: How do the power envelopes compare?

A: The 213PE has a 65 watt TDP, while the 223PTE has a 45 watt TDP. The 223PTE draws 20 watts less at rated load, which suits compact or low-noise builds, but the 213PE's higher base clock of 2.70 GHz versus 2.30 GHz may sustain better throughput in all-core workloads.

Q: Is there a difference in integrated graphics?

A: Yes. The 213PE includes UHD Graphics 730, while the 223PTE includes UHD Graphics 770. The 770 model is the higher-tier integrated solution in this comparison.

Q: Do both processors support the same memory types?

A: Both support DDR4 and DDR5, and both use dual-channel memory buses. The 223PTE records a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the 213PE.

Q: Are the core counts and thread counts identical?

A: Yes, both have 8 cores and 16 threads, with matching cache layouts: 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3.

Q: Which processor has a higher percentile ranking?

A: The 213PE ranks in the 85th percentile against all CPUs in the database. The 223PTE has a percentile ranking of 50, but no benchmark scores are recorded for it, so this figure reflects the unmeasured baseline rather than tested performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in six key specification fields. Base clock: 2.70 GHz on the 213PE versus 2.30 GHz on the 223PTE. Boost clock: 5.20 GHz on the 213PE versus 5.40 GHz on the 223PTE. TDP: 65 watts on the 213PE versus 45 watts on the 223PTE. Memory bandwidth: 76.8 GB/s on the 213PE versus 89.6 GB/s on the 223PTE. Integrated graphics: UHD Graphics 730 on the 213PE versus UHD Graphics 770 on the 223PTE. Launch MSRP: $221 on the 213PE versus $232 on the 223PTE.

All other recorded specifications match: 8 cores, 16 threads, Intel Socket 1700, Bartlett Lake codename, 10 nm process, 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, 24 MB shared L3, DDR4 and DDR5 memory support, dual-channel memory bus, ECC memory support, Gen 5 PCIe with 16 CPU lanes, desktop market segment, active production status, identical release date, and locked multiplier.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a split decision. The Intel Core 5 213PE has a full benchmark suite that places it at the 85th percentile, with an average score of 35428 and margins of 0.1 to 0.4 percent over four close rivals. Its higher base clock of 2.70 GHz and lower launch MSRP of $221 make it the straightforward choice for workloads that favor sustained all-core frequency and where the 65 watt TDP is acceptable.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark records, so its performance cannot be confirmed from the database. What the data does show is a 45 watt TDP, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and the UHD Graphics 770. These specifications point to a processor designed for power-conscious builds that still need a high peak frequency and robust memory throughput. The $11 higher launch MSRP of $232 reflects those additions, but without test scores, any performance claim remains speculative.

For a builder who values verified performance and a strong percentile standing, the 213PE is the data-backed option. For a builder who prioritizes lower power draw and higher peak clocks, the 223PTE offers a specification profile worth considering, though its actual benchmark behavior is unrecorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins in every measured benchmark category because it has recorded scores and the 223PTE has none. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22468 and single-core score of 3172 establish a solid baseline. PassMark integer math at 92089 and floating point math at 68587 show strength in computation-heavy tasks. Data compression at 298804 and encryption at 15916 indicate capable throughput for archival and security workloads. The 85th percentile ranking confirms that the 213PE outperforms a majority of CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins on paper in three areas: boost clock at 5.40 GHz versus 5.20 GHz, memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, and integrated graphics tier with UHD Graphics 770 versus UHD Graphics 730. Its 45 watt TDP also gives it a theoretical efficiency advantage, allowing lower power draw in thermally constrained systems. These wins are specification-based rather than benchmark-derived, so they indicate potential rather than confirmed results.

In practical terms, the 213PE is the pick for measured performance across Cinebench and PassMark suites. The 223PTE is the pick for builds that need a high single-core ceiling, faster memory access, and a more capable integrated GPU, all within a lower power envelope. The absence of benchmark data for the 223PTE means the database cannot confirm how those advantages translate into real-world scores, but the specification sheet clearly differentiates the two parts.
