Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core 7 150U Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows no direct benchmark results for the Intel Core 5 223PTE, which means the comparison must be drawn from the available measurements for the Intel Core 7 150U and its placement in the database. The Core 7 150U holds a percentile rank of 71 against all CPUs, while the Core 5 223PTE sits at percentile 50, indicating the mobile chip delivers a higher overall performance standing in the database despite its lower thermal envelope.

The Core 7 150U shows an average benchmark score of 17395, which places it narrowly ahead of similar-class rivals. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE records 17482, a delta of -0.5 percent relative to the Core 7 150U, meaning the Intel part trails that specific competitor by half a percent. Conversely, the Core 7 150U leads the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (17333) and AMD Ryzen 3 210 (17321) by 0.4 percent each, and it edges the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G (17507) by -0.6 percent, a negligible margin.

In multi-threaded workloads, the Core 7 150U posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 8883, a Cinebench R20 multicore result of 5248, and a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1505.5. Single-thread performance follows with 1875.5 in Cinebench R23, 740 in Cinebench R20, and 254 in Cinebench R15. Geekbench results show 6234 multicore and 1857 single-core. PassMark tests for the Core 7 150U include a multithread score of 14700, single-thread score of 3508, integer math at 51057, floating point math at 34405, data compression at 158622, data encryption at 10025, extended instructions at 8748, physics at 1012, random string sorting at 18269, and prime number finding at 58.

The Core 5 223PTE carries no benchmark entries in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified directly. The Core 7 150U therefore holds all recorded wins in this head-to-head by default, but the architectural differences between the two parts suggest the desktop chip may behave differently in sustained workloads, a point addressed by the specification gaps below.

FAQ

A: The Core 5 223PTE provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Core 7 150U provides PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes (CPU only).

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, part of the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation, built on an Intel 10 nm process. The Intel Core 7 150U uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-U codename, part of the Core 7 (Raptor Lake-U) generation, also on an Intel 10 nm process. Both are manufactured by Intel.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The Core 5 223PTE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core, with a shared 24 MB L3 cache. The Core 7 150U also has 80 KB of L1 per core but only 1.25 MB of L2 per core and a shared 12 MB L3 cache. The desktop chip therefore holds twice the shared L3 capacity of the mobile part.

The Core 5 223PTE is a desktop segment processor on Intel Socket 1700, while the Core 7 150U is a mobile segment processor on Intel BGA 1744. The desktop chip has a 45 W TDP, the mobile chip has a 15 W TDP. The Core 5 223PTE supports ECC memory and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, whereas the Core 7 150U lacks ECC support and uses PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. The Core 5 223PTE integrates UHD Graphics 770, while the Core 7 150U integrates Iris Xe Graphics 96EU. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 150U wins on measured benchmark results, as the database contains an extensive suite of scores for this chip. Its percentile rank of 71 against all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 17395, places it ahead of four recorded rivals in the nearest-rival group, all with margins under 1 percent. The mobile chip also offers a higher core count at 10 cores, though its 12 threads lag the desktop part’s 16 threads. The Core 7 150U comes with Iris Xe Graphics 96EU, which typically positions it for light graphics tasks in notebooks, and its 15 W TDP fits power-constrained mobile designs. Its release date of 2024-01-07 means it has been available in the database for a longer period than its counterpart.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins on structural advantages not reflected in benchmark scores. It has a higher base clock of 2.30 GHz versus 1.80 GHz, more threads at 16 versus 12, a larger shared L3 cache at 24 MB versus 12 MB, and a higher per-core L2 cache at 2 MB versus 1.25 MB. It supports ECC memory, a feature absent on the Core 7 150U. It provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, double the lane count and a generation ahead of the Core 7 150U’s PCIe Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Its memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, a figure not available for the mobile chip. The desktop part also carries a launch MSRP of $232, while the Core 7 150U has no recorded launch price. The Core 5 223PTE’s release date of 2026-03-08 indicates a newer product in the database.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split: the Intel Core 7 150U is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark results, and those results place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 17395 puts it on par with the AMD Ryzen 5 4500, AMD Ryzen 3 210, AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, and AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, with deltas ranging from -0.6 to 0.4 percent. Anyone selecting strictly on measured performance should choose the Core 7 150U, as the Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark scores in the database to compare.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE, however, shows structural strengths that matter for specific workloads. Its 16 threads, 24 MB L3 cache, 2 MB per-core L2 cache, ECC support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth make it the more capable part for memory-intensive, error-correcting, or high-throughput desktop scenarios. Its 45 W TDP and Socket 1700 target desktop builds, while the Core 7 150U’s 15 W TDP and BGA 1744 socket target mobile systems. The desktop chip’s 2026 release date and $232 launch MSRP give it a clearer market position, whereas the Core 7 150U arrived earlier in 2024 with no recorded launch price.

The verdict depends on the use case. For measured multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, the Core 7 150U delivers the only available numbers, and those numbers are competitive with its nearest rivals. For desktop-specific features like ECC memory, PCIe Gen 5 lane width, larger caches, and more threads, the Core 5 223PTE presents the stronger specification sheet. The data does not record any direct head-to-head benchmark between the two, so the performance gap between them remains unmeasured. The Core 7 150U is the benchmarked performer; the Core 5 223PTE is the specification-driven choice for desktop workloads requiring ECC and wider PCIe connectivity.
