Intel Core 5 213PTE vs Intel Core 5 220H Comparison

Intel Core 5 213PTE vs Intel Core 5 220H: a desktop Bartlett Lake part against a mobile Raptor Lake-H chip. The data shows a clear overall winner in the 213PTE, which takes 16 of the 17 recorded head-to-head benchmarks. However, the 220H retains one meaningful specialty and holds its own in a few specific workloads, making the choice heavily dependent on the target system type and workload mix.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates the aggregate picture. Its wins span all Cinebench versions, including a massive 94.2% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 65.7% in single-core. It also sweeps PassMark's integer math, floating point math, prime number finding, physics, extended instructions, multithread, single-thread, data compression, and random string sorting. This is a processor built for sustained compute density, and the benchmark data reflects that across every major rendering and math workload.

The Intel Core 5 220H has exactly one head-to-head win: PassMark data encryption, where it scores 15216 against 14413, a 5.3% margin. That is the only test where the mobile chip comes out ahead. Elsewhere, the 220H trails by single-digit margins in data compression (5.3% behind), random string sorting (5.9% behind), and single-thread (9.2% behind), but the gap widens dramatically in floating point (38.8%), physics (48.8%), and the Cinebench R23 multi-core test (94.2%). The 220H is not a general-purpose performance winner, but it does demonstrate a specific strength in encryption workloads that the 213PTE cannot match.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different Intel lineages. The 213PTE is based on Bartlett Lake, a desktop-oriented design on the Intel Socket 1700 platform, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The 220H uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-H, and is a mobile part on Intel BGA 1744, also on a 10 nm process from Intel. The desktop chip carries the "Core 5 (Bartlett Lake)" generation label, while the mobile chip is marked "Core 5 (Raptor Lake Refresh)".

Core counts differ significantly. The 213PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the 220H has 12 cores and 16 threads. Despite having four more physical cores, the 220H does not convert that into higher multi-threaded scores, as the benchmark results show. The 213PTE makes up for fewer cores with a higher boost clock: 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. Its base clock is lower at 2.10 GHz versus 2.70 GHz, but the boost advantage matters more in the recorded tests.

Cache layouts also split. Both use 80 KB L1 per core and 2 MB L2 per core, but the shared L3 differs: the 213PTE has 24 MB shared, the 220H has 18 MB shared. Memory support is DDR4 and DDR5 dual-channel for both, but the 213PTE lists a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s while the 220H has no recorded bandwidth figure. The 213PTE supports ECC memory, the 220H does not. PCIe connectivity differs: the 213PTE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), the 220H provides Gen 5 with 8 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ, with the 213PTE using UHD Graphics 730 and the 220H using Iris Xe Graphics 80EU.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results establish the 213PTE as the clear rendering leader. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 2192 against 1835, a 19.5% advantage. Single-core R15 shows 309 versus 262, a 17.9% lead. R20 multi-core gives 9135 versus 7812, a 16.9% edge, and R20 single-core gives 1289 versus 1102, a 17% lead. The largest Cinebench gap appears in R23: the 213PTE scores 21751 versus 11198, a 94.2% difference, and single-core R23 shows 3070 versus 1853, a 65.7% margin. The R23 multi-core result is the single biggest performance separation in the entire comparison, indicating that the 213PTE sustains heavy multi-threaded loads far better than the 220H.

PassMark integer math favors the 213PTE at 93109 versus 73555, a 26.6% win. Floating point math shows 71722 versus 51671, a 38.8% lead. Physics is a 48.8% margin (2199 versus 1478). Prime number finding is nearly double: 157 versus 82, a 91.5% gap. Extended instructions give a 10.3% lead (16146 versus 14642). Multithread score is 25590 versus 21884, a 16.9% edge. Single-thread and singlethread tests both show 3718 versus 3405, a 9.2% lead. Data compression is close at 261083 versus 247921, a 5.3% margin, and random string sorting is similarly tight at 30106 versus 28438, a 5.9% edge.

The single 220H win is PassMark data encryption: 15216 versus 14413, a 5.3% margin. That is the only recorded benchmark where the mobile chip outperforms the desktop part. Its closest losses are both around 5-6% in compression and sorting, which suggests the 220H can stay competitive in memory-bound or lightly threaded tasks, but falls apart under heavy math or rendering loads.

Percentile rankings place the 213PTE at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32924. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700 (0.1% lower average score), AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (0.5% higher), AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (0.5% higher), and AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (0.3% lower). The 220H sits at the 80th percentile with an average score of 28574, and its nearest rivals are the AMD EPYC 7203P (0% difference), AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850HS (0.1% higher), Intel Xeon E-2436 (0.2% higher), and Intel Core i5-12600 (0.3% lower). The 213PTE's average score is 4350 points higher than the 220H's, a 15.2% gap in aggregate performance.

Specification Differences

The two chips differ in several recorded specifications. The 213PTE has 8 cores, the 220H has 12. Base clocks are 2.10 GHz versus 2.70 GHz, and boost clocks are 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. The 213PTE uses a desktop market segment with a Bartlett Lake codename, while the 220H is a mobile part with a Raptor Lake-H codename. Socket types differ: Intel Socket 1700 versus Intel BGA 1744. L3 cache is 24 MB shared on the 213PTE versus 18 MB shared on the 220H. Memory bandwidth is listed at 76.8 GB/s for the 213PTE, with no figure for the 220H. ECC memory support is present on the 213PTE but absent on the 220H. PCIe lanes are 16 on the 213PTE versus 8 on the 220H, both Gen 5. Integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730 versus Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. The 213PTE launched on 2026-03-08 with a launch MSRP of $221, while the 220H launched on 2024-12-17 with a launch MSRP of $342. The 213PTE's part number is SA4QM, and the 220H's is SRQ6SQ5MM. Both are locked multipliers, both use 10 nm Intel processes, and both are marked as Active in production.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a single conclusion for raw performance: the Intel Core 5 213PTE is the faster processor in nearly every measured workload. Its 16 wins out of 17 head-to-head tests, including a 94.2% margin in Cinebench R23 multi-core and a 91.5% edge in prime number finding, make it the clear choice for rendering, math-heavy applications, and sustained multi-threaded tasks. Its higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz and larger 24 MB L3 cache correlate with its single-core and multi-core leads. The 213PTE also carries ECC memory support, 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, and a higher memory bandwidth figure, all of which suit a desktop workstation or high-performance build.

The Intel Core 5 220H is a mobile part with a different set of trade-offs. Its 12 cores and 16 threads do not translate into multi-core wins, and its lower 4.90 GHz boost clock and smaller 18 MB L3 cache place it behind in most tests. Its single recorded advantage is data encryption, where it beats the 213PTE by 5.3%. It also comes close in data compression and random string sorting, trailing by only 5.3% and 5.9% respectively. For a mobile platform with higher launch MSRP and no ECC support, the 220H offers only one specific workload advantage. The average benchmark scores confirm the hierarchy: 32924 for the 213PTE versus 28574 for the 220H, a 15.2% aggregate gap. The 213PTE is the more capable chip for most use cases, while the 220H serves only as a niche pick when encryption throughput is the primary requirement and the mobile form factor is mandatory.
