Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the Intel Core 5 223PTE and the Intel Core i5-14401TE contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries. Both processors have an empty benchmark array, an average benchmark score of zero, and no nearest rival entries. Consequently, the database shows zero wins for each part in direct comparison. This absence of measured performance data means the comparison must rely entirely on the architectural specifications recorded in the database.

The raw specifications reveal the core distinction: the Core 5 223PTE provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Core i5-14401TE provides 6 cores and 12 threads. That difference of 2 cores and 4 threads represents a 33.3% advantage in core count for the Core 5 223PTE. In threaded workloads that scale with core count, the spec sheet suggests the Core 5 223PTE would deliver proportionally higher throughput, assuming identical per-core efficiency. The database does not include a measured score to confirm this, so it remains a specification-derived expectation rather than a benchmark result.

Clock speeds also favor the Core 5 223PTE. Its base clock is 2.30 GHz versus 2.00 GHz for the Core i5-14401TE, a 15.0% higher base frequency. The boost clock shows an even larger gap: 5.40 GHz versus 4.50 GHz, a 20.0% advantage. In lightly threaded tasks where boost behavior dominates, the Core 5 223PTE should complete single-threaded work faster. Again, no benchmark entry confirms the realized performance, but the recorded frequencies establish the expected direction.

Cache allocation further separates the two. The Core 5 223PTE uses 2 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Core i5-14401TE uses 1.25 MB per core. Total L2 scales to 16 MB for the 8-core part and 7.5 MB for the 6-core part. Shared L3 cache totals 24 MB for the Core 5 223PTE and 20 MB for the Core i5-14401TE, a 20.0% difference. Larger caches typically reduce memory latency and improve hit rates, particularly in data-heavy workloads. The Core 5 223PTE holds the advantage in every cache metric recorded.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Core 5 223PTE ships with UHD Graphics 770, while the Core i5-14401TE ships with UHD Graphics 730. The database records no benchmark scores for either iGPU, so the comparison stops at the model designation. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the Core 5 223PTE at 89.6 GB/s with dual-channel DDR4 and DDR5 support; the Core i5-14401TE lists the same memory types and dual-channel bus but no bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory and use the same Intel Socket 1700 with PCIe Gen 5, 16 lanes from the CPU.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core 5 223PTE is the stronger part on every recorded specification. It has more cores, more threads, higher base and boost clocks, larger L2 and L3 caches, and a higher-tier integrated GPU. The Core i5-14401TE trails in all of these fields. Its only recorded advantages are none: the database lists no metric where the Core i5-14401TE exceeds the Core 5 223PTE. The percentile ranking for both is identical at 50, and both have an average benchmark score of zero, so the global position offers no separation.

For workloads that depend on multi-threading, such as rendering, compilation, or virtual machine hosting, the Core 5 223PTE should deliver meaningfully higher throughput due to its 8-core, 16-thread configuration. The 33.3% core advantage and the 20.0% L3 cache advantage both point in that direction. For single-threaded responsiveness, the 5.40 GHz boost clock of the Core 5 223PTE versus 4.50 GHz for the Core i5-14401TE gives the newer part a clear edge in burst performance.

The Core i5-14401TE, by contrast, offers no specification-based reason for selection in this comparison. It consumes the same 45 W TDP, uses the same socket, supports the same memory types, and carries the same ECC capability, but with fewer cores, lower clocks, and smaller caches. The launch MSRP for the Core 5 223PTE is $232; no launch MSRP is recorded for the Core i5-14401TE, so a cost comparison cannot be made from the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages within Intel's 10 nm process node. The Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation. The Core i5-14401TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename and belongs to the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation. Both are built by Intel on a 10 nm process node and share the same foundry.

The die size is recorded only for the Core i5-14401TE at 215 mm², while the Core 5 223PTE has no die size entry. Transistor counts are absent for both parts, so die-level density comparisons are not possible from the recorded data. The Core i5-14401TE is the older release, with a release date of 2024-06-30, while the Core 5 223PTE arrives later with a release date of 2026-03-08.

Core configuration differs significantly. The Core 5 223PTE uses 8 cores and 16 threads with 2 MB L2 per core and 24 MB shared L3. The Core i5-14401TE uses 6 cores and 12 threads with 1.25 MB L2 per core and 20 MB shared L3. Both list 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The Core 5 223PTE therefore holds a 4 MB advantage in total L3 and a 8.5 MB advantage in total L2.

Memory support is identical in type: both accept DDR4 and DDR5 in a dual-channel configuration, and both support ECC memory. The Core 5 223PTE records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s; the Core i5-14401TE does not record a bandwidth figure. PCIe capability matches on both: Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The socket is the same Intel Socket 1700.

Integrated graphics differ by model tier. The Core 5 223PTE lists UHD Graphics 770, while the Core i5-14401TE lists UHD Graphics 730. Both parts are desktop-market segments, both are active production parts, and both have locked multipliers. The part numbers are SA4QL for the Core 5 223PTE and Q4T4SRNJP for the Core i5-14401TE.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins in every recorded specification category. Multi-core workloads benefit from its 8-core, 16-thread design, which offers 33.3% more cores and 33.3% more threads than the Core i5-14401TE. The larger 24 MB L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache support data-heavy parallel tasks such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and build pipelines. The higher 5.40 GHz boost clock gives it the advantage in single-threaded responsiveness, including application launches and lightly threaded legacy software.

The Core 5 223PTE also wins in memory-related scenarios. Its recorded 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth exceeds the Core i5-14401TE, which has no bandwidth figure recorded. The larger cache hierarchy reduces pressure on the memory subsystem, which helps in workloads with repeated data access patterns. The integrated UHD Graphics 770 is a higher-tier model than the UHD Graphics 730 in the Core i5-14401TE, giving the Core 5 223PTE an advantage in iGPU-dependent tasks such as video playback and basic display output.

The Intel Core i5-14401TE has no recorded winning category. Its lower core count, lower clocks, and smaller caches place it behind the Core 5 223PTE on every measured field. The only recorded equality comes from the 45 W TDP, the Intel Socket 1700, DDR4/DDR5 dual-channel support, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, and the 10 nm Intel process node. For users restricted to a 45 W thermal envelope, both parts fit the same power class, but the Core 5 223PTE delivers more resources within that envelope.

The release timeline suggests the Core 5 223PTE is the newer design, arriving on 2026-03-08 versus 2024-06-30 for the Core i5-14401TE. The Bartlett Lake codename and Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation label separate it architecturally from the Raptor Lake Refresh lineage of the Core i5-14401TE. No benchmark data exists in the database to quantify the real-world gap, so the selection between these two parts rests entirely on the specification sheet. That sheet favors the Core 5 223PTE in every available category.
