Intel Core 5 223PE vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data does not include a direct head-to-head benchmark suite between the Intel Core 5 223PE and the Intel Core i5-14401TE. The database contains no paired test results, no win counts, and no per-test delta values for these two processors. What exists instead is a single benchmark profile for the Core 5 223PE, while the i5-14401TE has no benchmark entries at all. This asymmetry shapes the entire comparison.

For the Core 5 223PE, the database records a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2666 and a single-core score of 376. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result reaches 11111 and single-core 1568. The R23 run shows 26455 multicore and 3734 single-core. PassMark tests add more texture: integer math scores 99819, floating point math 76468, data compression 346623, data encryption 18448, extended instructions 24672, prime number finding 159, random string sorting 35798, multithread 31124, physics 2493, and single-thread 4219. The average benchmark score for the Core 5 223PE is 40585, placing it in the 87th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

The i5-14401TE has an average benchmark score of zero and an empty benchmark array. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, but that figure appears with no supporting measurements. The database does not list any Cinebench or PassMark results for the i5-14401TE. Therefore, numeric comparisons between the two processors are impossible from the current data. The Core 5 223PE holds every recorded benchmark score in this comparison, but that is because the i5-14401TE has none recorded.

The nearest rivals to the Core 5 223PE provide context for its standing. The Intel Core 7 253PE averages 40557, which is 0.1 percent lower than the Core 5 223PE. The Intel Xeon 6357P averages 40630, 0.1 percent higher. The Intel Core Ultra X7 368H averages 40518, 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435G averages 40718, 0.3 percent higher. These deltas are tiny, indicating that the Core 5 223PE sits in a very tight performance cluster. The 87th percentile confirms that it outperforms the vast majority of CPUs in the database, but its nearest rivals are nearly identical in average score.

The i5-14401TE has no nearest rivals listed. Its 50th percentile, without any benchmark data, suggests a mid-pack position, but the database provides no measurements to verify that ranking. The Core 5 223PE clearly outperforms the i5-14401TE in every metric that has a recorded number, but the absence of i5-14401TE scores means this is a comparison of one CPU against an empty slate.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use the Intel Socket 1700 and are built on the same 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, and both have ECC memory support. Both feature Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes from the CPU. Both integrate UHD Graphics 730. Both have locked multipliers, so neither supports unlocked overclocking.

The Core 5 223PE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 2.90 GHz and its boost clock is 5.20 GHz. Its codename is Bartlett Lake, and it belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The i5-14401TE has 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock is 2.00 GHz and its boost clock is 4.50 GHz. Its codename is Raptor Lake-R, its architecture is Raptor Lake, and it belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation.

The cache structures differ in size. The Core 5 223PE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14401TE also has 80 KB of L1 per core, but its L2 is 1.25 MB per core and its shared L3 is 20 MB. The Core 5 223PE therefore carries more L2 per core and more total L3. The i5-14401TE has a recorded die size of 215 mm², while the Core 5 223PE has no die size listed.

Memory bandwidth also differs. The Core 5 223PE lists 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The i5-14401TE has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. The thermal design power differs as well: the Core 5 223PE is rated at 65 watts, while the i5-14401TE is rated at 45 watts. This means the i5-14401TE is designed for a lower power envelope, which likely influences its lower base and boost clocks.

The release dates show a clear generational gap. The i5-14401TE was released on June 30, 2024, while the Core 5 223PE was released on March 8, 2026. The Core 5 223PE is the newer part by nearly two years. The part numbers differ: the Core 5 223PE has part number SA4QF, and the i5-14401TE has part number Q4T4SRNJP. Both are marked as active production.

The market segment for both is Desktop. The Core 5 223PE has a launch MSRP of $232. The i5-14401TE has no launch MSRP listed. The Core 5 223PE has no series designation, while the i5-14401TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

The Verdict

The database presents a one-sided picture. The Core 5 223PE has a full benchmark profile, a high average score, and a strong percentile ranking. The i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores, no average score, and only a mid-pack percentile that lacks supporting measurements. Any verdict must acknowledge this data gap.

For users who need a processor with proven multicore and single-core throughput, the Core 5 223PE is the only option with recorded evidence. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26455 and single-core score of 3734 demonstrate strong performance in both parallel and latency-sensitive workloads. Its PassMark multithread score of 31124 and single-thread score of 4219 reinforce that pattern.

The i5-14401TE, by contrast, offers no measured performance data. Its lower core count, lower clocks, lower L3 cache, and lower TDP suggest it would trail the Core 5 223PE in most workloads, but the database does not quantify that gap. The 45-watt TDP and 2.00 GHz base clock indicate a power-efficient design, likely suited for thermally constrained systems, but no benchmark confirms its actual capability.

The Core 5 223PE also holds advantages in cache capacity, memory bandwidth, and core count. The i5-14401TE has a smaller die size and a lower TDP, which may matter for physical design constraints. But from a performance standpoint, the recorded data favors the Core 5 223PE decisively.

The 87th percentile for the Core 5 223PE versus the 50th percentile for the i5-14401TE suggests a very large performance gap, but the percentile for the i5-14401TE is unsupported by any benchmark. The database does not explain how that percentile was derived. The safest conclusion is that the Core 5 223PE is a high-performing desktop CPU with verified results, while the i5-14401TE is an unverified part with no recorded scores.

Where Each One Wins

The Core 5 223PE wins in every category where the database has recorded numbers. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 5.20 GHz boost clock positions it for heavy parallel workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26455 and the PassMark multithread score of 31124 indicate strong throughput in rendering, compilation, and other multithreaded tasks. Its 24 MB L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth support data-intensive applications. The single-core scores of 3734 in R23 and 4219 in PassMark show it also handles latency-sensitive workloads well.

The i5-14401TE wins in power efficiency. Its 45-watt TDP is lower than the 65-watt TDP of the Core 5 223PE, and its die size of 215 mm² is recorded, while the Core 5 223PE has no die size. Systems with strict thermal or power budgets may prefer the i5-14401TE, but no benchmark data confirms its actual performance. The lower base clock of 2.00 GHz and lower boost clock of 4.50 GHz suggest it would trail in raw speed, but the database does not quantify that gap.

For users choosing between these two processors, the Core 5 223PE offers verified performance across multiple benchmark suites. The i5-14401TE offers a lower power envelope and a smaller recorded die, but its performance profile is entirely unmeasured. The data supports the Core 5 223PE as the stronger performer and the i5-14401TE as the more power-conscious design, with the caveat that the latter's performance claims remain unverified.
