Intel Core 5 223PQE vs Intel Core i5-14490F Comparison

Intel Core 5 223PQE and Intel Core i5-14490F are both desktop processors built for the Intel Socket 1700 platform, yet they occupy different positions in the current product stack. The Core 5 223PQE is a Bartlett Lake part with 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Core i5-14490F is a Raptor Lake Refresh chip with 10 cores and 16 threads. The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two specific processors, and the Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores or average score. The Core i5-14490F, however, has a substantial set of measured results across Cinebench and Passmark tests, along with a percentile rank of 86 versus all CPUs. This analysis relies entirely on the recorded data for the i5-14490F and the specification differences between the two parts.

Where Each One Wins

The Core i5-14490F delivers measurable performance across every benchmark category in the database, while the Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark scores recorded. This means the i5-14490F wins every test where data exists, purely by virtue of being the only one with results. The i5-14490F scores 2318 in Cinebench R15 multi-core and 327 in single-core, 9660 in R20 multi-core and 1363 in single-core, and 23000 in R23 multi-core and 3247 in single-core. In Passmark tests, it records 340026 in data compression, 18225 in data encryption, 21731 in extended instructions, 122 in find prime numbers, 66558 in floating point math, 87844 in integer math, 28662 in multithread, 2093 in physics, 35608 in random string sorting, and 3873 in single-thread tests.

The Core 5 223PQE, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, has a higher base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, compared to the i5-14490F’s 2.50 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost. In workloads that rely heavily on single-thread speed, the 223PQE’s higher boost clock suggests it could perform competitively, but the absence of any benchmark data prevents confirmation. The i5-14490F’s 10-core configuration gives it a two-core advantage in multi-threaded tasks, and its recorded scores reflect that capability. The 223PQE’s 125 W TDP versus the i5-14490F’s 65 W TDP indicates the former is designed for higher sustained power delivery, but without measurements, its actual performance remains unverified.

The i5-14490F’s percentile rank of 86 places it above 86% of all CPUs in the database, and its average benchmark score is 38149. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T with an average score of 38194 and a delta of -0.1%, the Intel Core i5-13600KF at 38103 with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 7 250 at 38221 with a delta of -0.2%, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX at 38261 with a delta of -0.3%. These tiny deltas, all within 0.3 percentage points, show the i5-14490F sits in a tightly packed performance cluster. The Core 5 223PQE has no percentile rank or average score, so its competitive position cannot be assessed from the data.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, and the Core 5 223PQE has zero wins, while the Core i5-14490F also has zero wins in this specific comparison. This absence of direct comparison data means the only measurable performance information comes from the i5-14490F’s standalone benchmark results. In Cinebench R23, the i5-14490F scores 23000 in multi-core and 3247 in single-core, which serves as its strongest multi-threaded result. In R20, it scores 9660 multi-core and 1363 single-core, and in R15, it scores 2318 multi-core and 327 single-core. These scores show a consistent scaling pattern across Cinebench versions, with multi-core performance roughly seven times higher than single-core in each test.

Passmark results for the i5-14490F show its strongest workloads. Integer math scores 87844, floating point math scores 66558, and extended instructions scores 21731. Data compression reaches 340026, which is the highest recorded score among its Passmark tests, while data encryption scores 18225. Random string sorting scores 35608, find prime numbers scores 122, and physics scores 2093. The multithread test scores 28662, and single-thread scores 3873, appearing twice in the data with identical values. The i5-14490F’s nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, has an average score of 38194, which is only 0.1% higher than the i5-14490F’s 38149. The Intel Core i5-13600KF trails by 0.1% at 38103, while the AMD Ryzen 7 250 leads by 0.2% at 38221, and the Intel Core i5-13600HX leads by 0.3% at 38261.

Since the Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark data, any head-to-head comparison must rely on specification-based reasoning. The 223PQE’s 5.50 GHz boost clock is 0.50 GHz higher than the i5-14490F’s 5.00 GHz, which could provide an advantage in single-threaded tasks. Its 8 cores versus 10 cores suggests a disadvantage in heavily parallel workloads, assuming similar instructions per clock. The 223PQE’s L3 cache is 24 MB shared, identical to the i5-14490F’s 24 MB shared L3 cache. The 223PQE’s L2 cache is 2 MB per core versus the i5-14490F’s 1.25 MB per core, giving the 223PQE a larger per-core cache allocation. These differences remain theoretical without measured results.

Architecture Differences

The Core 5 223PQE is built on the Bartlett Lake architecture, while the Core i5-14490F uses the Raptor Lake Refresh architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both are manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm process node at Intel’s foundry. The 223PQE represents the newer Core 5 generation, released in 2026, while the i5-14490F belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, released in late 2023. The 223PQE’s Bartlett Lake design uses 8 cores with 16 threads, and its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. The i5-14490F’s Raptor Lake-R design uses 10 cores with 16 threads, with 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3.

The 223PQE includes integrated UHD Graphics 770, a feature absent from the i5-14490F, which lists integrated graphics as N/A. This makes the 223PQE a more complete package for systems without a discrete GPU, while the i5-14490F requires a separate graphics card. ECC memory support is present on the 223PQE but absent on the i5-14490F, indicating the 223PQE targets workstation or reliability-focused configurations. The 223PQE’s memory bandwidth is rated at 89.6 GB/s, a figure not recorded for the i5-14490F.

The 223PQE’s higher base clock of 4.00 GHz versus 2.50 GHz suggests a design favoring higher sustained frequency, while its 125 W TDP allows for greater power draw. The i5-14490F’s 65 W TDP indicates a more power-efficient design, and its 10-core layout provides additional parallel processing resources. The 223PQE has no die size recorded, while the i5-14490F has a die size of 215 mm². Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported via multiplier adjustment. The 223PQE’s launch MSRP is $319, while the i5-14490F has no launch MSRP in the database. Both processors use the same socket, Intel Socket 1700, and both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, with PCIe Gen 5 providing 16 CPU lanes.

The i5-14490F’s benchmark results show it performs near the top of its immediate competitive set, with its average score of 38149 sitting within 0.3% of four nearest rivals. Its percentile rank of 86 means it outperforms 86% of all CPUs in the database. The Core 5 223PQE has no such data, leaving its architectural advantages, such as higher boost clock and larger L2 cache, unquantified in the recorded measurements. The two processors share the same socket and memory support, but differ in core count, clock speeds, TDP, ECC support, integrated graphics, and cache layout. Without benchmark results for the 223PQE, the i5-14490F remains the only one of the two with verified performance data, and its measured scores place it in a competitive position against other mid-range desktop CPUs.
