Intel Core 5 223PQE vs Intel Core i5-14500 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core 5 223PQE contains no benchmark scores, while the Intel Core i5-14500 carries a full set of measured results. As a result, every head-to-head comparison is drawn from the i5-14500's benchmark suite, with the Core 5 223PQE serving as the reference model without recorded performance data. The database shows the i5-14500 achieving a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15012 and a single-core score of 1917. In Cinebench R20, the i5-14500 records 10985 multi-core and 1550 single-core. Cinebench R15 results stand at 2435 multi-core and 273 single-core.

The i5-14500 also delivers substantial results in Geekbench, with a multi-core score of 13390 and a single-core score of 2099. PassMark results further detail its workload-specific behavior. The multi-thread score reaches 30777, while single-thread performance is recorded at 3952. Integer math scores land at 108124, floating point math at 79576, and extended instructions at 22473. Data compression scores reach 371294, data encryption 21457, and random string sorting 40980. Physics testing produces a score of 1746, while the find prime numbers test yields 106.

These are the only recorded measurements available for comparison. The Core 5 223PQE has no entries in the benchmark database, so no wins or losses can be assigned between the two processors. The winsA and winsB fields in the database both show zero, confirming that no head-to-head benchmark results exist for this pairing. The percentile data reinforces the gap: the i5-14500 sits at the 86th percentile among all CPUs, while the Core 5 223PQE rests at the 50th percentile. That percentile difference reflects the presence of benchmark data for the i5-14500 and the absence of any for the Core 5 223PQE.

The nearest rivals for the i5-14500 provide context for its average benchmark score of 38531. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235T records an average score of 38561, putting it 0.1% ahead. The Intel Xeon w3-2525 scores 38392, which places it 0.4% behind the i5-14500. The Intel Core 9 270H records 38335, a 0.5% deficit, and the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H scores 38312, a 0.6% deficit. These figures indicate that the i5-14500 sits in a tightly clustered performance band, with all four nearest rivals within a 0.7 percentage point spread.

The Core 5 223PQE has no recorded average benchmark score, no nearest rivals, and no percentile comparison beyond its overall 50th percentile rank. The i5-14500, by contrast, has a fully populated benchmark profile. Any direct performance comparison between the two processors cannot be made from measured data, only from the specification differences and the i5-14500's standalone results.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation between these two processors, though the separation is not based on head-to-head benchmark results. The Intel Core i5-14500 is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score of 38531 places it at the 86th percentile among all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. That percentile rank, in the absence of any measured results, indicates that the database has no performance evidence for the Core 5 223PQE.

The i5-14500's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15012 and single-core score of 1917 show a processor that handles both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads with measurable output. The Geekbench multi-core result of 13390 and single-core result of 2099 align with that pattern. PassMark integer math at 108124 and floating point math at 79576 further confirm strong computational throughput. The data compression score of 371294 and encryption score of 21457 point to solid data processing capabilities.

For the Core 5 223PQE, the available facts are limited to its specifications. It offers 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 4.00 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The i5-14500 offers 14 cores and 20 threads, a base clock of 2.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The Core 5 223PQE has a TDP of 125, while the i5-14500 has a TDP of 65. The Core 5 223PQE carries a larger L2 cache per core at 2 MB, compared to 1.25 MB for the i5-14500. Both share 24 MB of L3 cache.

From the recorded data alone, the i5-14500 is the only processor with demonstrated performance. Its 86th percentile rank, supported by a full suite of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark scores, gives it a substantial evidentiary advantage. The Core 5 223PQE, with no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile rank, cannot be assessed on the same basis. The choice between the two, strictly from the data, favors the i5-14500 for any workload where measured performance matters.

Architecture Differences

The Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, while the i5-14500 uses Raptor Lake-R and carries the Raptor Lake architecture. Both processors are built on a 10 nm process node and are produced by Intel. The Core 5 223PQE is listed under the Core 5 generation, while the i5-14500 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with a Raptor Lake Refresh generation label.

The core configurations differ significantly. The Core 5 223PQE has 8 cores and 16 threads. The i5-14500 has 14 cores and 20 threads. The i5-14500's higher core and thread counts suggest a hybrid or higher-core-count design, though the database does not specify the performance and efficiency core split. The cache structure also differs. The Core 5 223PQE uses 2 MB of L2 cache per core, while the i5-14500 uses 1.25 MB per core. Both processors share 24 MB of L3 cache. L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core.

The die size is recorded only for the i5-14500 at 215 mm². The Core 5 223PQE has no die size entry in the database. Transistor counts are not listed for either processor. The process node is the same: 10 nm from Intel. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel memory bus. The i5-14500 has no recorded memory bandwidth figure, while the Core 5 223PQE lists 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity is identical: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.
