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

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

The Intel Core i5-14500T holds a clear performance advantage over the Intel Core 5 223PTE in the recorded benchmark data, despite both processors sharing the same launch MSRP and socket. The i5-14500T posts an average benchmark score of 28,065 and sits in the 80th percentile among all CPUs, while the Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores and sits in the 50th percentile. The i5-14500T delivers significantly higher multi-core and single-core results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests, driven by a higher core and thread count and a larger die. The Core 5 223PTE counters with a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz and a smaller process footprint, but without benchmark results to quantify its real-world performance, the data clearly favors the i5-14500T.

Architecture Differences

The two processors share the same Intel Socket 1700, the same 10 nm process node, and the same Intel foundry, but their internal architectures differ substantially. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is classified under the Core 5 generation. The Intel Core i5-14500T uses the Raptor Lake-R codename with the Raptor Lake architecture and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, specifically the Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh) generation.

Core configuration is the most pronounced architectural split. The Core 5 223PTE provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the i5-14500T provides 14 cores and 20 threads. That difference of 6 cores and 4 threads explains much of the performance gap seen in multi-threaded workloads. The i5-14500T also carries a die size of 215 mm², a figure not recorded for the Core 5 223PTE.

Cache hierarchies are similar in structure but differ in per-core L2 capacity. Both chips use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The L2 cache differs: the Core 5 223PTE has 2 MB per core, while the i5-14500T has 1.25 MB per core. With fewer cores, the Core 5 223PTE allocates more L2 per core, which can benefit workloads that depend on per-core cache locality.

Both processors support DDR4 and DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, and both support ECC memory. The Core 5 223PTE lists a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the i5-14500T does not have a recorded memory bandwidth figure. Both use Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes from the CPU. Both integrate the same UHD Graphics 770, and both are locked processors with no unlocked multiplier. The Core 5 223PTE has a production status of Active and a release date in March 2026, while the i5-14500T also has Active production status and a release date in January 2024. The part numbers differ: SA4QL for the Core 5 223PTE and SRN3P for the i5-14500T.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons are not recorded in the database. The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no individual benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rival entries. The Intel Core i5-14500T, however, has a full set of measured results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark tests, and those results define where the i5-14500T stands against its own nearest rivals.

In Cinebench R15, the i5-14500T scores 2,022 in multi-core and 252 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 8,177 multi-core and 1,154 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 11,790 and the single-core score is 1,838. Geekbench results show a multi-core score of 11,894 and a single-core score of 2,229.

Passmark results for the i5-14500T cover a range of specialized workloads. The multi-thread score is 22,910, and the single-thread score is 3,736. Integer math scores 80,922, floating point math scores 58,869, and extended instructions score 16,043. Data compression scores 262,417, data encryption scores 15,410, and random string sorting scores 28,462. Physics scores 1,288, and finding prime numbers scores 81.

The nearest rival data for the i5-14500T places it in a tight competitive cluster. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE scores 28,054, essentially even with a delta percentage of 0. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G scores 28,032, which is 0.1 percent lower. The Intel Core i9-12900H scores 28,003, 0.2 percent lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 scores 28,128, which is 0.2 percent higher. These deltas show the i5-14500T performing within a narrow band of roughly 0.2 percent of its closest competitors, indicating a highly competitive position in this segment.

Because the Core 5 223PTE has no measured scores, no comparative deltas can be computed against the i5-14500T. The recorded data cannot show the Core 5 223PTE winning any benchmark, whether single-threaded, multi-threaded, or specialized. The i5-14500T, by contrast, demonstrates consistent performance across every recorded test category.

The Verdict

The recorded data points decisively toward the Intel Core i5-14500T as the stronger processor. It has a complete benchmark profile with an average score of 28,065, while the Core 5 223PTE has no recorded scores. The i5-14500T also ranks in the 80th percentile among all CPUs, whereas the Core 5 223PTE ranks in the 50th percentile. The i5-14500T provides 14 cores and 20 threads, a 6-core and 4-thread advantage over the Core 5 223PTE. That core advantage translates directly into the strong multi-core scores recorded in Cinebench R23 (11,790) and Geekbench multi-core (11,894).

The Core 5 223PTE does offer a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 4.80 GHz, and a higher base clock of 2.30 GHz versus 1.70 GHz. It also has more L2 cache per core at 2 MB versus 1.25 MB. These attributes could help in lightly threaded or cache-sensitive workloads, but no benchmark data exists to confirm that advantage. The i5-14500T has recorded single-core scores of 1,838 in Cinebench R23 and 2,229 in Geekbench, both solid figures. Without comparable measurements for the Core 5 223PTE, the higher clock speeds remain unverified in practical performance terms.

The i5-14500T also uses less power, with a TDP of 35 watts versus 45 watts for the Core 5 223PTE. Lower power draw with higher measured performance makes the i5-14500T the more efficient choice based on the available data. Both processors launch at the same MSRP of $232, so the i5-14500T delivers more cores, more threads, higher measured scores, and a higher percentile rank at the same launch price.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14500T wins in every category where measured data exists. Multi-threaded workloads are its strongest area, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11,790 and a Passmark multi-thread score of 22,910. Content creation, rendering, and compilation tasks that scale across cores would benefit from the 14 cores and 20 threads. The data compression score of 262,417 and integer math score of 80,922 indicate strong throughput in data-heavy and arithmetic-heavy tasks. The i5-14500T also holds its own against nearest rivals, with all four nearby competitors within a 0.2 percent delta, confirming a balanced and competitive profile.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark wins. Its specification sheet suggests potential strengths in single-threaded responsiveness, given the 5.40 GHz boost clock and the larger 2 MB per-core L2 cache. The 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth figure also exceeds the i5-14500T, which has no recorded bandwidth value. These specifications could matter for latency-sensitive or per-core dependent workloads, but the database contains no measurements to validate such a conclusion. The i5-14500T remains the only processor in this comparison with verified performance data, and it holds the advantage across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark suites.
