Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

Intel's Bartlett Lake desktop lineup includes two Socket 1700 processors with identical 10 nm Intel manufacturing and 45 TDP ratings: the Core 5 223PTE and the Core 7 253PTE. The Core 5 brings 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Core 7 brings 10 cores and 20 threads. In the database, the head-to-head comparison table is empty and both win counters sit at 0. All recorded benchmark scores in this pairing belong to the Core 7 253PTE.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Because the head-to-head table is empty, there are no direct score differences to compute between the two parts. The database records no wins for either processor. The available benchmark data is limited to the Core 7 253PTE's result set.

The passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread entries both record 3794. The Core 7 253PTE's average benchmark score is 34962. That average is 0.1% below the Intel Core i7-13800H's 34988 and 0.1% below the Intel Core i9-12900HX's 35003. It is 0.2% above the Intel Xeon 6349P's 34890 and 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 5 150's 34881. The Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries, no nearest rivals, and an average benchmark score of 0, so no head-to-head margin can be established for it.

Architecture Differences

Both processors are Bartlett Lake parts. Intel is the foundry for both, and both use a 10 nm process. The socket is Intel Socket 1700, and the market segment is Desktop for both. The generation labels differ: Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) for the 223PTE and Core 7 (Bartlett Lake) for the 253PTE.

The core and thread layout is the main architectural separation. The Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Core 7 253PTE has 10 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks differ: 2.30 for the Core 5 and 1.80 for the Core 7. Both boost to 5.40. TDP is 45 for both, and both have locked multipliers.

Cache organization uses the same per-core values: 80 KB L1 per core and 2 MB L2 per core. The shared L3 is 24 MB on the Core 5 and 33 MB on the Core 7. Memory support is identical: DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel bus, 89.6 GB/s bandwidth, and ECC memory enabled. PCIe support is also identical: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics differ. The Core 5 223PTE lists UHD Graphics 770, while the Core 7 253PTE lists UHD Graphics 730. Both are active production parts released on the same date in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data does not assign a win to either processor because the head-to-head benchmark set is empty. However, the only benchmark scores available for this pair belong to the Core 7 253PTE, so it is the only part with measured performance evidence.

In Cinebench, the Core 7 253PTE records 2144 in R15 multi-core and 302 in R15 single-core. In R20 it records 8935 multi-core and 1261 single-core. In R23 it records 21276 multi-core and 3003 single-core. These results cover both heavily threaded rendering and lightly threaded single-core workloads.

In PassMark, the Core 7 253PTE records a multithread score of 25031 and a single-thread score of 3794. Its integer math score is 119552, floating point math is 67209, extended instructions is 17099, data compression is 275828, data encryption is 15500, random string sorting is 28227, physics is 1318, and find prime numbers is 82. These are the only benchmark results available in the database for this comparison.

The Core 5 223PTE has an empty benchmark list. Its specification advantages are a higher base clock of 2.30 versus 1.80 and UHD Graphics 770 versus UHD Graphics 730. Without recorded scores, the database cannot substantiate any use-case win for the Core 5.

|---|---|---|

| Cores | 8 | 10 |

| Threads | 16 | 20 |

| Base clock | 2.30 | 1.80 |

| L3 cache | 24 MB shared | 33 MB shared |

| Integrated graphics | UHD Graphics 770 | UHD Graphics 730 |

| Generation label | Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) | Core 7 (Bartlett Lake) |

| Part number | SA4QL | SA4QK |

| Database percentile | 50 | 84 |

| Average benchmark score | 0 | 34962 |

The Verdict

The Core 7 253PTE is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark results. Its average benchmark score of 34962 puts it at the 84th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of that average. The Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile listing.

From the data, the Core 7 253PTE covers every measured workload in this pairing: Cinebench multi-core and single-core, PassMark multithread and single-thread, math, encryption, compression, sorting, physics, and extended instructions. The Core 5 223PTE offers a higher base clock and UHD Graphics 770, but those specifications are not accompanied by any recorded benchmark win. The evidence points to the Core 7 253PTE for any user choosing based on the database's measured performance.
