Intel Core 5 223PQE vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data for these two desktop processors is heavily one-sided. The Intel Core i7-14701TE has a complete benchmark record across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark tests, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark entries in the database at all. This means the Core i7-14701TE wins every single measured comparison by default, and the Core 5 223PQE cannot claim a single victory in any recorded test.

The Core i7-14701TE holds a strong position in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23, it scores 17035 points in the multi-core test and 2405 points in the single-core test. The PassMark suite confirms this balance, showing a multithread score of 20042 and a single-thread score of 2637. These results place the chip in the 78th percentile against all CPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms the majority of recorded processors.

The Core 5 223PQE, despite having no benchmark scores, does carry specifications that suggest competitive potential. Its base clock of 4.00 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz are both higher than the Core i7-14701TE's 2.10 GHz base and 5.20 GHz boost. Clock speed alone does not guarantee performance, however, and without recorded measurements, the database cannot confirm any real-world advantage. The percentile ranking for the Core 5 223PQE sits at 50, which is below the Core i7-14701TE's 78, indicating that the database places the newer chip in a lower overall performance tier based on available data.

The Core i7-14701TE also shows a clear edge in cache capacity. It has 33 MB of shared L3 cache, while the Core 5 223PQE has 24 MB. Both chips have identical L1 and L2 cache layouts, with 80 KB per core and 2 MB per core respectively. The larger L3 cache on the Core i7-14701TE likely contributes to its superior performance in workloads that repeatedly access the same data sets.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural families despite sharing the same socket and manufacturing process. The Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, placing it in the Core 14th Gen series. The Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process node and manufactured by Intel.

Die size is a notable differentiator. The Core i7-14701TE has a measured die size of 257 mm², while the Core 5 223PQE has no recorded die size in the database. This difference reflects the architectural changes between the two generations, though the database does not provide further physical details.

Both processors share several key architectural traits. They each have 8 cores and 16 threads, use the Intel Socket 1700, support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, and feature UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics. Both also support ECC memory and use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes for the CPU. Neither chip has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not officially supported for either.

Power characteristics differ significantly. The Core i7-14701TE has a TDP of 45 watts, while the Core 5 223PQE has a TDP of 125 watts. This substantial difference indicates that the Core i7-14701TE is designed for much lower power envelopes, which can matter in thermally constrained systems. The Core 5 223PQE's higher TDP likely allows for its higher clock speeds, but the database does not provide efficiency measurements.

Memory bandwidth is another point of divergence. The Core 5 223PQE has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the Core i7-14701TE has no bandwidth figure in the database. Both support the same memory types and bus width, so the actual bandwidth difference may be minimal in practice, but only the Core 5 223PQE has a confirmed number.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark records, the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the Core i7-14701TE's measured scores. The database shows zero wins for the Core 5 223PQE and zero wins for the Core i7-14701TE in the head-to-head benchmark table, which is an artifact of the missing data for one side.

The Core i7-14701TE's Cinebench results demonstrate its capability across rendering and compute workloads. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1716 in multi-core and 242 in single-core. The R20 version shows 7154 multi-core and 1010 single-core. The R23 results, which are often used as a modern standard, show 17035 multi-core and 2405 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that handles both heavily threaded and lightly threaded tasks with consistency.

PassMark results add further detail. The integer math score of 65792 and floating point math score of 50219 show strong arithmetic processing. Data compression scores 220520, while data encryption scores 11699. Extended instructions score 14354, and prime number finding scores 143. Random string sorting scores 22760, and physics scores 1860. The multithread score of 20042 and single-thread score of 2637 round out the suite.

The nearest rivals for the Core i7-14701TE provide context for its average benchmark score of 26013. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 scores 25981, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26106, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25880, which is 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas are all within one percentage point, placing the Core i7-14701TE in a tightly contested performance band.

The Verdict

The data points clearly toward the Intel Core i7-14701TE as the only processor with verifiable performance in this comparison. Its 78th percentile ranking, combined with strong Cinebench and PassMark scores, establishes it as a capable desktop processor for a wide range of workloads. The 45 watt TDP further enhances its appeal for systems where power consumption matters.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE, despite its higher clock speeds and newer codename, has no recorded performance data. Its 50th percentile ranking and lack of benchmarks mean the database cannot substantiate any performance claims for it. The 125 watt TDP also suggests higher power draw, which could be a disadvantage in energy-conscious builds.

For users prioritizing confirmed performance, the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the only choice supported by measurements. Its balanced single-thread and multi-thread scores, along with its larger L3 cache and lower power envelope, make it a well-rounded option. The Intel Core 5 223PQE may offer higher clock speeds and a newer architecture, but without benchmark data, its actual performance remains unverified.
