Intel Core 5 223PQE vs Intel Core Ultra 5 245T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the Intel Core 5 223PQE against the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T. However, the recorded data for the Core Ultra 5 245T provides a full set of performance measurements, while the Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark scores recorded at all. This asymmetry defines the comparison: the Core Ultra 5 245T is fully characterized, the Core 5 223PQE is not.

The Core Ultra 5 245T delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26208 and a single-core score of 3699. Its Cinebench R20 results show 11007 multi-core and 1553 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 2641 multi-core and 372 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 30833, a single-thread score of 4367, integer math at 88676, floating-point math at 108499, and extended instructions at 22071. Data compression reaches 283812, data encryption hits 23656, and physics scores 2278. Random string sorting completes at 34931, while find prime numbers posts 324.

The Core Ultra 5 245T holds an average benchmark score of 38194 and sits in the 86th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals show how tightly grouped this performance tier is: the AMD Ryzen 7 250 averages 38221, a delta of -0.1% relative to the Core Ultra 5 245T. The Intel Core i5-14490F averages 38149, a delta of +0.1%. The Intel Core i5-13600HX averages 38261, a delta of -0.2%. The Intel Core i5-13600KF averages 38103, a delta of +0.2%. Every rival sits within two-tenths of a percent of the Core Ultra 5 245T, which indicates the benchmark results place this processor in an extremely competitive band where no single model holds a meaningful overall advantage.

The Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 is a placeholder rather than a measured result. Consequently, direct numeric comparisons between the two processors are impossible from the recorded data. The only performance evidence available belongs to the Core Ultra 5 245T.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports only one processor with actual benchmark measurements: the Intel Core Ultra 5 245T. It demonstrates strong multi-threaded capability with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26208 and a PassMark multi-thread score of 30833. Its single-thread performance is also solid, reflected in a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3699 and a PassMark single-thread score of 4367. The 86th percentile ranking indicates this processor outperforms the large majority of CPUs in the database.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE, by contrast, has no benchmark data recorded. Its 50th percentile rank is not derived from any test result. From the database alone, no performance claims can be made for this processor. A builder choosing between these two based strictly on recorded measurements would select the Core Ultra 5 245T, as it is the only one with verified scores.

The Core Ultra 5 245T also shows a clear performance context through its nearest rivals. It effectively matches the AMD Ryzen 7 250, the Intel Core i5-14490F, the Intel Core i5-13600HX, and the Intel Core i5-13600KF, with deltas never exceeding 0.2%. This means the Core Ultra 5 245T delivers performance comparable to well-known mid-range processors, placing it in a familiar and competitive segment.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 245T wins in every category where data exists. It has recorded scores for multi-threaded workloads, single-threaded workloads, encryption, compression, physics, and math operations. The PassMark multi-thread score of 30833 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26208 indicate strong parallel processing capability. The single-thread score of 4367 in PassMark and 3699 in Cinebench R23 show capable single-core performance for lightly threaded tasks.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmark scores. The database shows no tests completed for this processor. Any discussion of workload-specific strengths for the Core 5 223PQE would require data that does not exist in the database.

For workload segmentation, the Core Ultra 5 245T covers both multi-threaded productivity and single-threaded responsiveness based on its scores. Data encryption at 23656 and data compression at 283812 suggest strong performance in storage and security-related tasks. Floating-point math at 108499 and integer math at 88676 indicate solid number-crunching ability. Physics simulation at 2278 rounds out the measured workload coverage.
