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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance advantage for the Intel Core i5-14500HX across every measured workload. The Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries in the database, meaning all comparative analysis must rely on the i5-14500HX’s extensive test results and its position among rival CPUs.

The Intel Core i5-14500HX posts an average benchmark score of 35,094, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-12900HX with an average score of 35,003 (0.3% behind), the Intel Core i7-13800H with 34,988 (0.3% behind), the Intel Core 7 253PTE with 34,962 (0.4% behind), and the Intel Core i7-12700K with 35,287 (0.5% ahead). This clustering shows the i5-14500HX performs within a narrow band around these established desktop and mobile processors.

In Cinebench R23 multi-core testing, the i5-14500HX scores 24,234 points. Its single-core result in the same test is 3,421. The multi-core figure represents roughly seven times the single-core score, a typical ratio for a high-core-count mobile part. Cinebench R20 results show 10,178 multi-core and 1,436 single-core. Cinebench R15 yields 2,442 multi-core and 344 single-core. These progressive benchmarks confirm consistent scaling across generations of the Cinebench workload.

Geekbench results for the i5-14500HX show 10,171 multi-core and 2,129 single-core. The multi-core score again dominates, consistent with a 14-core, 20-thread configuration. PassMark tests paint a similar picture: multithread score of 28,508, single-thread score of 3,629, integer math at 95,584, floating-point math at 69,442, and extended instructions at 20,019. Data compression reaches 333,851, while data encryption hits 19,502. Find prime numbers scores 130, random string sorting scores 36,219, and physics scores 1,911.

The Core 5 223PTE lacks any benchmark records in the database. Its percentile rank of 50 against all CPUs suggests a mid-pack position based on unspecified or incomplete measurement data, but no direct comparison scores exist. The wins count stands at zero for the 223PTE and zero for the i5-14500HX in head-to-head benchmark fields, indicating no direct paired tests were recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500HX wins in every scenario where benchmark data exists. Its multi-core performance, evidenced by the 24,234 Cinebench R23 score and 28,508 PassMark multithread result, positions it strongly for heavily threaded workloads such as video rendering, 3D simulation, and scientific computing. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration provides substantial parallelism for compilation tasks, batch image processing, and data analysis pipelines.

Single-core performance for the i5-14500HX is also strong, with a 3,421 Cinebench R23 single-core score and 3,629 PassMark single-thread score. These numbers indicate capable responsiveness for everyday desktop tasks, light coding, and applications that rely on single-threaded execution. The 4.90 GHz boost clock supports this profile, though the Core 5 223PTE’s higher 5.40 GHz boost suggests the 223PTE could potentially excel in frequency-sensitive workloads if benchmark data existed to confirm it.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins in no measured categories because its benchmark array is empty. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration and 5.40 GHz boost clock imply potential for high-frequency single-core workloads, but the absence of recorded scores prevents any quantitative claim. The 223PTE’s 50th percentile rank versus the i5-14500HX’s 84th percentile further indicates the i5-14500HX holds a stronger overall position in the database.

For users prioritizing verified performance, the i5-14500HX is the only processor in this comparison with demonstrated results. The data supports its use in mobile workstations and high-performance laptops where multi-threaded throughput and competitive single-core speed matter. The 223PTE remains an unproven quantity in the database, with no evidence to suggest it outperforms the i5-14500HX in any workload.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share a 10 nm process node and Intel as the foundry, but their architectures diverge significantly. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. The Intel Core i5-14500HX uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-HX, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series.

Core counts differ substantially. The 223PTE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the i5-14500HX has 14 cores and 20 threads. This six-core, four-thread advantage for the i5-14500HX directly explains its multi-core benchmark dominance. The 223PTE’s boost clock of 5.40 GHz exceeds the i5-14500HX’s 4.90 GHz, but the i5-14500HX compensates with its higher base clock of 2.60 GHz versus 2.30 GHz.

Both processors share identical L1 cache at 80 KB per core and L2 cache at 2 MB per core. L3 cache is also identical at 24 MB shared. Memory support matches as well: both support DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel memory buses. The 223PTE lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the i5-14500HX has no recorded memory bandwidth figure. Both support ECC memory and use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are identical: UHD Graphics 770.

The die size differs. The i5-14500HX has a die size of 257 mm², while the 223PTE has no recorded die size. Socket types separate the two clearly: the 223PTE uses Intel Socket 1700, a desktop platform, while the i5-14500HX uses Intel BGA 1964, a mobile platform. This aligns with their market segments: Desktop for the 223PTE, Mobile for the i5-14500HX.

The Verdict

The data indicates the Intel Core i5-14500HX is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance credentials. Its 84th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 35,094 place it among capable mid-to-high-tier CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i9-12900HX and Intel Core i7-12700K. The 14-core, 20-thread configuration delivers strong multi-core results, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 24,234 and PassMark multithread at 28,508. Single-core performance is also solid, with 3,421 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 3,629 in PassMark single-thread.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE offers a higher boost clock at 5.40 GHz and a lower TDP of 45, making it potentially more power-efficient per thread. Its desktop socket and locked multiplier suggest a straightforward workstation processor. However, the complete absence of benchmark data means no quantitative performance claims can be made. Its 50th percentile ranking provides only a vague signal of mid-pack positioning.

Users requiring a mobile processor with proven multi-threaded performance should select the i5-14500HX based on the recorded data. Users considering the 223PTE for desktop systems must weigh its higher clock speed and lower TDP against the lack of any measured scores. The database currently offers no evidence that the 223PTE outperforms the i5-14500HX in any workload, and the substantial core-count deficit makes such an outcome unlikely for parallel tasks. The verdict from the data is clear: the i5-14500HX is the verified performer, while the 223PTE remains an unmeasured alternative with theoretical advantages only.
