Intel Core 5 223PQE vs Intel Core i5-14400F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i5-14400F and the Intel Core 5 223PQE share a socket, a memory bus width, and a process node, but the recorded benchmark data only covers the i5-14400F. The Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark scores in the database, which makes a direct numeric comparison impossible. The data available for the i5-14400F shows a strong multi-threaded performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21,645 in multi-core and 3,055 in single-core. Its Cinebench R20 results are 9,090 multi-core and 1,283 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 2,181 multi-core and 307 single-core.

Geekbench results for the i5-14400F are 11,268 multi-core and 2,058 single-core. The PassMark suite adds more detail. The i5-14400F scores 25,470 in multithread, 3,701 in single-thread, 81,524 in integer math, and 61,319 in floating point math. Extended instructions reach 19,937, data compression hits 315,521, and data encryption records 16,949. Random string sorting scores 32,680, and physics simulation records 1,523. Prime number finding is the weakest area at 86.

Since the Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmarks, the head-to-head section is limited to what the database holds. The i5-14400F occupies the 83rd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 32,279. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U at 32,233 (0.1% behind), the Intel Core i9-11900 at 32,226 (0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS at 32,354 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i7-12800H at 32,121 (0.5% behind). These deltas are minimal, indicating the i5-14400F sits in a tightly contested performance cluster.

The Core 5 223PQE carries a 50th percentile rank among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of zero. That zero does not mean the processor is incapable; it means the database lacks any recorded workload results for it. Without those numbers, the quantitative comparison cannot proceed past the i5-14400F's individual scores.

Where Each One Wins

The i5-14400F wins on every measurable front in the database because it is the only one of the two with benchmark data. Its strongest recorded area is data compression at 315,521, followed by integer math at 81,524 and floating point math at 61,319. These results indicate a processor well suited to productivity workloads that scale across its 10 cores and 16 threads. The multithread score of 25,470 reinforces that pattern. Single-thread performance is also solid, with 3,701 in PassMark single-thread and 3,055 in Cinebench R23 single-core. The 4.70 GHz boost clock supports those results.

The Core 5 223PQE cannot claim a benchmark win in any category because no category has a score recorded for it. What the database does show is its configuration. It uses 8 cores and 16 threads with a 4.00 GHz base clock and a 5.50 GHz boost clock. That boost clock is higher than the i5-14400F's 4.70 GHz, which could translate to faster single-thread execution, but no measured score confirms it. The Core 5 223PQE also includes UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics, while the i5-14400F has no integrated graphics. For systems without a discrete GPU, that difference is meaningful. The i5-14400F requires a separate graphics card for display output, while the Core 5 223PQE can drive a display on its own.

Memory bandwidth is another area where the Core 5 223PQE has a listed advantage. The database records 89.6 GB/s for it, while the i5-14400F has no memory bandwidth figure. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode. The Core 5 223PQE's 24 MB of shared L3 cache also exceeds the i5-14400F's 20 MB, and its L2 cache is 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core for the i5-14400F. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for users who rely on measured performance: the Intel Core i5-14400F. It has an 83rd percentile rank, an average benchmark score of 32,279, and a full set of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark results. It sits within 0.5% of its nearest rivals, all of which are established mobile and desktop processors. Its 10 cores and 16 threads, with a 2.50 GHz base clock and 4.70 GHz boost clock, deliver competitive multi-threaded and single-threaded scores. The launch MSRP is $196.

The Core 5 223PQE is a different proposition. It has a 50th percentile rank and no benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm its real-world performance. Its configuration suggests potential. The 5.50 GHz boost clock is the highest among the two, and the 8-core, 16-thread layout with 24 MB of L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth points to a capable desktop part. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 adds functionality the i5-14400F lacks. The launch MSRP is $319, which is higher than the i5-14400F's. Users who need a verified performer with a lower launch MSRP should pick the i5-14400F. Users who prioritize higher boost clocks, larger cache, integrated graphics, and higher memory bandwidth, and who are willing to accept an unverified performance profile, may consider the Core 5 223PQE.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700, the same 10 nm process node, and the same Intel foundry. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory, dual-channel memory buses, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Both support ECC memory. Both have locked multipliers.

The core architectures differ. The Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation label. The i5-14400F uses Raptor Lake-R with a Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation label. The i5-14400F has a die size of 215 mm² and a Raptor Lake architecture designation. The Core 5 223PQE has no architecture or die size listed beyond its codename.

Cache structures differ notably. The Core 5 223PQE has 2 MB of L2 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14400F has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. The larger L2 and L3 caches on the Core 5 223PQE could reduce memory latency in cache-sensitive workloads, though no benchmark data confirms this.

Clock behavior differs as well. The Core 5 223PQE runs a 4.00 GHz base clock and 5.50 GHz boost clock. The i5-14400F runs a 2.50 GHz base clock and 4.70 GHz boost clock. The TDP also differs substantially, with the Core 5 223PQE rated at 125 watts and the i5-14400F at 65 watts. That higher TDP on the Core 5 223PQE suggests a more power-hungry design, but the database does not include cooling or power consumption measurements.

Integrated graphics create a functional split. The Core 5 223PQE includes UHD Graphics 770, while the i5-14400F has no integrated graphics. The i5-14400F therefore needs a discrete GPU for any display output. The Core 5 223PQE can operate without one, which is relevant for basic desktop use or troubleshooting.

Release dates differ. The i5-14400F was released on 2024-01-07, and the Core 5 223PQE on 2026-03-08. Both are marked as Active in production status. The i5-14400F has a part number of SRN3RSRN47, and the Core 5 223PQE has a part number of SA4QC. The i5-14400F has a 10-core, 16-thread configuration, while the Core 5 223PQE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, meaning the i5-14400F relies on additional physical cores while the Core 5 223PQE relies on simultaneous multithreading to reach the same thread count.
