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

The Verdict

The Intel Core 5 223PE and Intel Core 5 223PTE share the same core topology, cache layout, memory support, and socket, but they are positioned differently by power envelope and clock strategy. The database contains a full benchmark suite for the 223PE, while the 223PTE currently has no recorded benchmark scores. Based on the available data, the 223PE is the only part with measurable performance evidence, and it ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs. The 223PTE carries a 50th percentile rating, but with an average benchmark score of zero, that percentile reflects the absence of measurements rather than actual performance.

The 223PE delivers a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The 223PTE runs a lower base clock of 2.30 GHz, a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz, and a reduced 45 W TDP. For users who need sustained multi-threaded throughput, the 223PE is the safer choice based on its recorded scores and higher base frequency. For those who prioritize peak single-thread bursts and lower power draw, the 223PTE has the nominal advantage in boost clock, but no benchmark evidence exists to confirm how that translates into real performance. The 223PE also includes UHD Graphics 730, while the 223PTE includes UHD Graphics 770, which is the sole integrated graphics difference between the two.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are built on the same Bartlett Lake architecture and use the same 10 nm process node from Intel. They are both desktop parts on Intel Socket 1700, with eight cores and sixteen threads. The cache hierarchy is identical: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel bus with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, and both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity is the same: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The architectural differences are limited to clock frequencies, power limits, and integrated graphics. The 223PE runs a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The 223PTE runs a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The TDP differs: 65 W for the 223PE versus 45 W for the 223PTE. The integrated GPU differs: UHD Graphics 730 on the 223PE, UHD Graphics 770 on the 223PTE. Both parts have locked multipliers, meaning they are not unlocked for overclocking. Both were released on the same date and share the same launch MSRP of $232. The part numbers are SA4QF for the 223PE and SA4QL for the 223PTE.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The 223PE has a full set of recorded scores across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and Passmark tests. The 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores in any test. Therefore, a direct numerical comparison is impossible from the current data.

What can be analyzed is the 223PE's absolute performance and its standing among near rivals. The 223PE scores 2666 in Cinebench R15 multi-core, 376 in single-core, 11111 in R20 multi-core, 1568 in single-core, 26455 in R23 multi-core, and 3734 in R23 single-core. Passmark results include 346623 in data compression, 18448 in data encryption, 24672 in extended instructions, 159 in find prime numbers, 76468 in floating point math, 99819 in integer math, 31124 in multithread, 2493 in physics, 35798 in random string sorting, and 4219 in single-thread tests. The average benchmark score is 40585.

The nearest rivals for the 223PE are the Intel Core 7 253PE with an average score of 40557 (a delta of 0.1 percent), the Intel Xeon 6357P with 40630 (delta of -0.1 percent), the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H with 40518 (delta of 0.2 percent), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G with 40718 (delta of -0.3 percent). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the 223PE sits in a tightly clustered performance band. The 223PE is effectively tied with these four rivals in average benchmark score, with the AMD part holding a slight edge of 0.3 percent and the Intel Core Ultra part trailing by 0.2 percent.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in four specification fields: base clock, boost clock, TDP, and integrated graphics.

• Base clock: 2.90 GHz on the 223PE, 2.30 GHz on the 223PTE.
• Boost clock: 5.20 GHz on the 223PE, 5.40 GHz on the 223PTE.
• TDP: 65 W on the 223PE, 45 W on the 223PTE.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on recorded data, the 223PE is the only processor with measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 40585 places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.3 percent of its average score. The 223PE wins in every benchmark category where numbers exist, simply because the 223PTE has no scores to compare.

From a specification standpoint, the 223PE wins in base clock frequency (2.90 GHz versus 2.30 GHz) and in lower boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 5.40 GHz), though the latter is not a win. The 223PTE nominally wins in boost clock (5.40 GHz) and in TDP efficiency (45 W versus 65 W). For workloads that are sensitive to sustained multi-core processing, the higher base clock of the 223PE suggests better all-core throughput, but this is inference from specifications, not from direct benchmark data. For workloads that rely on short, single-thread bursts, the higher boost clock of the 223PTE could provide a slight advantage, but no measurement confirms this.

The integrated graphics comparison favors the 223PTE, which carries UHD Graphics 770, one tier above the 223PE's UHD Graphics 730. For systems that will rely on the iGPU for display output or light graphics tasks, the 223PTE has the better integrated solution on paper.

In practical terms, the 223PE is the part with verified performance data and a strong standing in the 87th percentile. The 223PTE remains an unmeasured quantity. Buyers choosing between these two should note that the 223PE offers a higher base clock and proven multi-threaded scores, while the 223PTE offers a higher boost clock, lower TDP, and a more capable integrated GPU. Without benchmark results for the 223PTE, the 223PE is the only processor in this comparison with empirical evidence of its capabilities.
