Intel Core 5 223PE vs Intel Core 7 150HL Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data provides a complete benchmark profile for the Intel Core 5 223PE, while the Intel Core 7 150HL has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry makes a direct score-for-score comparison impossible for most tests, but the available measurements for the Core 5 223PE can still be positioned against its nearest rivals to establish a performance baseline.

The Core 5 223PE achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26455 and a single-core score of 3734. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 11111 with a single-core score of 1568. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2666 multicore and 376 single-core. These scores place the processor at the 87th percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database, with an average benchmark score of 40585.

Looking at the nearest rivals, the Core 5 223PE sits within 0.3% of several competitors. The Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40557, which is 0.1% behind the Core 5 223PE. The Intel Xeon 6357P records 40630, putting it 0.1% ahead. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H reaches 40518, trailing by 0.2%, while the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G leads by 0.3% with a score of 40718. These margins are essentially negligible, indicating that the Core 5 223PE performs at parity with a broad cluster of modern processors.

For the Core 7 150HL, the database contains no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Its percentile ranking is 50, which reflects an empty data set rather than a measured mid-range position. Consequently, any head-to-head numeric comparison between the two processors cannot be constructed from the available facts.

The PassMark suite for the Core 5 223PE provides additional detail. The multithread score is 31124, single-thread is 4219, integer math reaches 99819, and floating-point math hits 76468. Data compression scores 346623, encryption scores 18448, and extended instructions score 24672. Random string sorting records 35798, and the physics test scores 2493. Find prime numbers scores 159. These are the only benchmark numbers recorded for either processor.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 5 223PE demonstrates measurable strengths across every benchmark category where data exists. Its Cinebench R23 multicore result of 26455 indicates strong parallel throughput, while the single-core score of 3734 shows competitive per-thread performance. The PassMark integer and floating-point math results, 99819 and 76468 respectively, confirm balanced arithmetic capability. Data compression at 346623 is particularly notable, suggesting efficient memory and cache utilization.

The Core 7 150HL cannot be assigned any wins based on recorded measurements, as no benchmark data exists for it. The processor does have a higher core count of 14 versus 8, and more threads at 20 versus 16, which could imply an advantage in heavily threaded workloads, but without benchmark scores, the database cannot confirm this. The Core 7 150HL also has a lower TDP of 45 watts compared to 65 watts for the Core 5 223PE, which could indicate better energy efficiency, but again, no performance data supports a definitive claim.

Given the available facts, the Core 5 223PE is the only processor with any recorded wins, and it wins across all tested categories. The Core 7 150HL has zero wins in the database, a direct consequence of having no benchmark entries.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share several architectural fundamentals. Both use a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel, both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, and both feature 80 KB of L1 cache per core with 2 MB of L2 cache per core. The shared L3 cache is identical at 24 MB for both parts.

The Core 5 223PE belongs to the Bartlett Lake generation and carries the Bartlett Lake codename. Its architecture field is not specified in the database. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Core 7 150HL uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-PS codename, and its generation is listed as Core 7 (Raptor Lake-PS). It has 14 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz.

Memory bandwidth differs between the two. The Core 5 223PE records 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth, while the Core 7 150HL has no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory support is present on the Core 5 223PE but absent on the Core 7 150HL.

PCIe capabilities differ substantially. The Core 5 223PE supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Core 7 150HL supports PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only). This gives the Core 5 223PE a clear interface advantage for high-throughput peripherals.

Integrated graphics also differ. The Core 5 223PE uses UHD Graphics 730, while the Core 7 150HL uses Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. The latter has more execution units, which could provide stronger integrated graphics performance, though no graphics benchmarks are recorded in the database.

The release dates place the Core 7 150HL earlier at April 2024, while the Core 5 223PE arrives in March 2026. Both processors have locked multipliers. The Core 5 223PE has a launch MSRP of $232, while the Core 7 150HL has no recorded launch price. The Core 5 223PE has a part number of SA4QF, while the Core 7 150HL has an unknown part number.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split between the two processors. The Intel Core 5 223PE is a fully measured part with benchmark results across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple PassMark tests. Its 87th percentile ranking and average score of 40585 place it in a competitive cluster with the Core 7 253PE, Xeon 6357P, Core Ultra X7 368H, and Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G, all within 0.3% of each other.

The Intel Core 7 150HL has no benchmark data, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its 50th percentile ranking is a placeholder for missing measurements, not a reflection of actual performance. The processor offers more cores, more threads, and a lower TDP, but none of these specifications translate into recorded performance figures.

For users who rely on measured benchmark data, the Core 5 223PE is the only processor with verified performance characteristics. Its single-core and multicore scores, along with its PassMark results, provide concrete evidence of its capabilities. The Core 7 150HL may have structural advantages in core count and power efficiency, but the database contains no evidence to confirm how those features perform in practice.

The Core 5 223PE also offers PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes, ECC memory, and a higher memory bandwidth figure of 89.6 GB/s, all of which are absent or unspecified for the Core 7 150HL. The Core 7 150HL counters with a newer integrated graphics solution, Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, and a lower TDP, but these are the only areas where it holds a stated advantage.

Given the recorded facts, the Core 5 223PE is the processor with demonstrated performance. The Core 7 150HL remains an unmeasured quantity in the database, and no conclusion about its relative performance can be drawn from available data.
