Intel Core 5 213PE vs Intel Processor U300L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain a single shared benchmark result between the Intel Core 5 213PE and the Intel Processor U300L. The Core 5 213PE has 17 recorded benchmark scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites, while the U300L has no benchmark entries in the database. Direct head-to-head comparisons are therefore impossible.

What can be established is the Core 5 213PE's position against its nearest recorded rivals. Its average benchmark score is 35428, which places it 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700T (35403), 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700KF (35365), 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13600T (35305), and 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700K (35287). These deltas are narrow, indicating the Core 5 213PE sits in a tightly contested performance band.

The Core 5 213PE's strongest recorded results include a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22468, a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 9436, and a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 2264. Single-core results are 3172 in R23, 1332 in R20, and 319 in R15. Passmark results show a multi-thread score of 26434, a single-thread score of 4060, integer math at 92089, floating point math at 68587, and extended instructions at 19565. Data compression reached 298804, data encryption 15916, random string sorting 32027, and find prime numbers 114. Physics scored 1624.

The U300L has no scores to analyze. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and no nearest rivals are listed. The percentile ranking for the U300L is 50, meaning it sits at the midpoint of all CPUs in the database, while the Core 5 213PE ranks at the 85th percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 5 213PE wins every measurable category because it is the only processor in this comparison with recorded performance data. The U300L cannot claim a single benchmark victory, as no test results exist in the database.

For workloads that stress multiple cores, such as rendering, video encoding, or scientific computation, the Core 5 213PE's recorded multi-core scores indicate substantial capacity. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22468 and Passmark multi-thread score of 26434 point to strong parallel throughput. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration supports this profile.

For lightly threaded tasks, the Core 5 213PE's single-core scores of 4060 in Passmark and 3172 in Cinebench R23 show it can handle single-thread workloads effectively. The 5.20 GHz boost clock contributes to this capability.

The U300L, by contrast, has no recorded wins. The data shows no benchmark results, so no workload category can be assigned to it. The processor's specifications suggest a mobile-oriented design with lower power draw, but without measurement data, any performance assessment would be speculative.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ in almost every architectural dimension recorded in the database.

The Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation, while the U300L uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename and belongs to the Intel Processor (Raptor Lake) generation. Both are manufactured by Intel on a 10 nm process node.

Core counts diverge sharply. The Core 5 213PE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the U300L has 5 cores and 6 threads. This difference of 3 cores and 10 threads explains the Core 5 213PE's much higher multi-threaded benchmark scores.

Clock speeds also differ. The Core 5 213PE has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The U300L has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Core 5 213PE runs 1.50 GHz higher at base and 0.80 GHz higher at boost.

Cache hierarchies are different. Both processors have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The L2 cache is 2 MB per core on the Core 5 213PE versus 1.25 MB per core on the U300L. The shared L3 cache is 24 MB on the Core 5 213PE versus 8 MB on the U300L. The total L3 advantage is 16 MB for the Core 5 213PE.

Thermal design power is dramatically different. The Core 5 213PE has a TDP of 65 watts, while the U300L has a TDP of 15 watts. This 50-watt gap reflects the Core 5 213PE's desktop positioning versus the U300L's mobile orientation.

Memory support is similar in type: both support DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory buses. The Core 5 213PE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, while the U300L has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. The Core 5 213PE supports ECC memory, while the U300L does not.

PCI Express capabilities differ. The Core 5 213PE supports Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The U300L supports Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). The Core 5 213PE offers a newer PCIe generation and double the lane count.

Integrated graphics are different. The Core 5 213PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the U300L uses UHD Graphics 48EU. No graphics benchmark data exists for either processor.

The Core 5 213PE is classified as a Desktop processor, while the U300L is classified as Mobile. Both use the Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Core 5 213PE has a part number of SA4QG, while the U300L has SRPEKSRPEM.

The Core 5 213PE was released on 2026-03-08, while the U300L was released on 2024-04-07. Both are currently marked as Active in production status.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one conclusion: the Intel Core 5 213PE is the substantially stronger processor. It has 8 cores and 16 threads against 5 cores and 6 threads, a 5.20 GHz boost clock against 4.40 GHz, 24 MB of L3 cache against 8 MB, and an 85th percentile ranking against the 50th percentile. Its average benchmark score of 35428 places it among the top performers in the database, narrowly ahead of the Intel Core i7-13700T and Intel Core i7-12700KF.

The U300L's lack of benchmark data is the defining fact of this comparison. No recorded measurements exist for this processor, so its actual performance cannot be quantified. The specifications indicate a low-power mobile design with a 15 watt TDP, but the database contains no evidence of how that translates into workload performance.

For users selecting between these two processors, the data points to the Core 5 213PE for any performance-sensitive workload. Its benchmark scores across Cinebench and Passmark suites demonstrate capability in both multi-threaded and single-threaded tasks. The U300L, with no recorded scores, cannot be recommended on performance grounds from the data available.

The Core 5 213PE also offers ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and a higher memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The U300L lacks ECC support and offers only PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. These features reinforce the Core 5 213PE's position as the more capable processor in nearly every recorded dimension.
