Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i5-14500 Comparison

Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i5-14500

The Intel Core i5-14500 is the clear performance leader in this comparison, with the database recording a 50th percentile ranking for the Core 5 223PTE versus an 86th percentile for the i5-14500. The i5-14500 posts an average benchmark score of 38531, while the Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores, making the performance gap qualitative but definitive. Both processors share the same launch MSRP of $232, the same Intel Socket 1700, the same UHD Graphics 770 integrated graphics, and identical 24 MB shared L3 cache, but the i5-14500 brings more cores, threads, and a larger die, while the Core 5 223PTE counters with a higher boost clock and lower TDP. The data indicates that for any workload that scales with core count or sustained multi-threaded throughput, the i5-14500 is the superior option, while the Core 5 223PTE appeals primarily to scenarios where power limits and single-core frequency peaks matter more.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors, but the i5-14500 has a full suite of recorded scores that illustrate its capabilities. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the i5-14500 scores 2435, and in single-core it scores 273. Cinebench R20 results show 10985 multi-core and 1550 single-core. Cinebench R23 delivers 15012 multi-core and 1917 single-core. Geekbench results are 13390 multi-core and 2099 single-core. For the Core 5 223PTE, the recorded data shows zero benchmarks and zero wins in the head-to-head comparison, meaning every available performance metric belongs to the i5-14500.

The i5-14500’s Passmark suite further defines its strengths. Multi-threaded performance is 30777, with integer math at 108124 and floating-point math at 79576. Data encryption scores 21457, extended instructions score 22473, and data compression reaches 371294. Random string sorting hits 40980, physics scores 1746, and single-thread performance is 3952. Prime number finding is 106. These figures indicate a processor that handles both integer-heavy and floating-point-heavy tasks with balanced efficiency. The Core 5 223PTE, lacking any recorded benchmarks, cannot be compared numerically, but its lower core count (8 versus 14) and lower thread count (16 versus 20) suggest it will trail in parallel workloads. The i5-14500’s 86th percentile ranking versus the Core 5 223PTE’s 50th percentile places the i5-14500 in the upper tier of all CPUs, while the Core 5 223PTE sits exactly at the median.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in their internal design. The Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with no specific architecture listed, while the i5-14500 uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. Both are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel’s foundry. The i5-14500 has a die size of 215 mm², while the Core 5 223PTE has no recorded die size. Core counts differ substantially: the i5-14500 has 14 cores and 20 threads, while the Core 5 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads. L2 cache also differs, with the Core 5 223PTE offering 2 MB per core versus 1.25 MB per core for the i5-14500, though both share the same 80 KB per core L1 cache and 24 MB shared L3 cache. Base clocks are 2.30 GHz for the Core 5 223PTE and 2.60 GHz for the i5-14500, but boost clocks reverse the order: 5.40 GHz for the Core 5 223PTE and 5.00 GHz for the i5-14500. TDP is another clear split, with the Core 5 223PTE at 45 W and the i5-14500 at 65 W.

Memory support is identical in type (DDR4 and DDR5) and bus configuration (dual-channel), but the Core 5 223PTE records a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s while the i5-14500 has no recorded bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory, both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, and both have the UHD Graphics 770 integrated GPU. The Core 5 223PTE is part of the Core 5 generation under Bartlett Lake, while the i5-14500 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series under Raptor Lake Refresh. Release dates differ by over two years, with the i5-14500 launching on January 7, 2024, and the Core 5 223PTE on March 8, 2026. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported through the multiplier. The Core 5 223PTE’s part number is SA4QL, while the i5-14500 is SRN3T.

The Verdict

Based solely on recorded data, the Intel Core i5-14500 is the stronger processor for general and multi-threaded workloads. Its 14 cores, 20 threads, and 86th percentile ranking give it a clear advantage over the Core 5 223PTE’s 8 cores, 16 threads, and 50th percentile. The i5-14500’s average benchmark score of 38531 is the only quantitative performance figure in the database, and it places the processor within 0.1% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T (38561), 0.4% ahead of the Intel Xeon w3-2525 (38392), 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core 9 270H (38335), and 0.6% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H (38312). These nearest rivals show that the i5-14500 sits in a competitive performance band, slightly above several other Intel parts. The Core 5 223PTE has no rival data, no benchmark scores, and no wins in the head-to-head comparison, so the database provides no evidence of its performance capabilities.

The Core 5 223PTE does offer advantages in specific areas: a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz, a lower TDP of 45 W versus 65 W, double the per-core L2 cache (2 MB versus 1.25 MB), and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s where the i5-14500 has none. These factors suggest the Core 5 223PTE may deliver strong single-thread bursts and operate in more power-constrained environments, but without benchmark scores, those advantages cannot be quantified. The i5-14500’s higher base clock (2.60 GHz versus 2.30 GHz) and larger core count make it the likely choice for sustained workloads, compilation, rendering, or multitasking. Users who prioritize maximum multi-threaded throughput should select the i5-14500. Users who require lower power draw and a higher peak clock for lightly threaded tasks, and who can accept fewer cores, may consider the Core 5 223PTE, but the database offers no measured evidence of its real-world performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500 wins in every measured benchmark category because the Core 5 223PTE has no recorded scores. The i5-14500’s multi-threaded results are strong: Cinebench R23 multi-core at 15012, Geekbench multi-core at 13390, and Passmark multi-thread at 30777. These numbers indicate excellent scaling across its 14 cores and 20 threads, making it suitable for video encoding, 3D rendering, software compilation, and other parallel tasks. The single-thread scores are also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 1917, Geekbench single-core at 2099, and Passmark single-thread at 3952, showing that even lightly threaded applications see good performance. The i5-14500’s 86th percentile ranking confirms it outperforms the majority of all CPUs in the database.

The Core 5 223PTE wins in specification-based comparisons that do not rely on benchmarks. Its higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 5.00 GHz gives it a theoretical advantage in single-thread burst scenarios, such as short-lived compute tasks or interactive responsiveness. Its lower TDP of 45 W versus 65 W makes it more suitable for compact systems or environments with strict thermal and power limits. The larger per-core L2 cache of 2 MB versus 1.25 MB may improve performance for workloads that fit within that cache level, though no benchmark data confirms this. The recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the i5-14500 has no such figure, suggests the Core 5 223PTE may handle memory-intensive operations efficiently. However, all of these are qualitative advantages; the database provides no measured performance to validate them.
