Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i5-14600 Comparison

Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i5-14600

The database places these two desktop processors on opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The Intel Core i5-14600 holds an average benchmark score of 44889, which places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. In contrast, the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. This comparison relies entirely on the measured results of the i5-14600, as the 223PTE lacks any synthetic test data in the database. The i5-14600 delivers a complete set of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark results, offering a clear picture of its capabilities. The 223PTE presents a specification sheet only, with no performance numbers to analyze.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between these two processors. The head-to-head section is empty, and the win count for each part is zero. All performance analysis must therefore derive from the recorded scores of the Intel Core i5-14600 and the architectural specifications of both chips.

The i5-14600 produces a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30464 and a single-core score of 4300. In Cinebench R20, it records 12794 multi-core and 1806 single-core. The older R15 test yields 3070 multi-core and 433 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that scales well across threaded workloads while maintaining strong single-thread performance. Geekbench results show 14680 multi-core and 2424 single-core, confirming the trend.

PassMark tests add further detail. The i5-14600 scores 117078 in integer math, 85759 in floating point math, and 25674 in extended instructions. Data compression reaches 434620, while data encryption hits 25082. The find prime numbers test returns 155, a low score typical of heavy integer work. Random string sorting produces 48043. The multithread score is 35848, physics scores 2330, and single-thread performance is recorded twice as 4167 in both the passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread fields.

Since the 223PTE has no benchmark entries, no direct wins can be established for either processor. The data only supports an assessment of the i5-14600 on its own merits. The absence of scores for the 223PTE means the database cannot verify any performance advantage for it, regardless of its specifications.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge significantly in core architecture despite sharing the same Intel Socket 1700. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. The Intel Core i5-14600 uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake-R, and belongs to the Core 14th Gen series. Both are built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry, so the manufacturing process is identical. The die size differs, however: the i5-14600 has a die size of 257 mm², while the 223PTE has no recorded die size in the database.

Core counts create a substantial separation. The 223PTE provides 8 cores and 16 threads. The i5-14600 provides 14 cores and 20 threads, a difference of 6 cores and 4 threads. Cache configurations match in some areas and differ in others. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core and 2 MB of L2 cache per core. Both share 24 MB of L3 cache. The 223PTE achieves a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, while the i5-14600 has no recorded memory bandwidth figure in the database. Memory support is identical, with both supporting DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus.

The 223PTE has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The i5-14600 has a higher base clock of 2.70 GHz but a lower boost clock of 5.20 GHz. Thermal design power differs as well: the 223PTE is rated at 45 watts, while the i5-14600 is rated at 65 watts. Both processors include UHD Graphics 770 as integrated graphics, offer PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, and have locked multipliers. The 223PTE was released on 2026-03-08, while the i5-14600 was released on 2024-01-07, making the 14600 the earlier product. The 223PTE has part number SA4QL, and the i5-14600 has part number SRN44.

The Verdict

The recorded data favors the Intel Core i5-14600 without qualification. It has an average benchmark score of 44889, placing it in the 89th percentile, and it competes closely with the Intel Core i9-12900KS, which is only 0.5% faster. The 223PTE has no benchmark scores, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile placement. No measured performance exists to support the 223PTE in any workload.

The i5-14600 offers 14 cores and 20 threads against the 8 cores and 16 threads of the 223PTE. It also has a higher base clock of 2.70 GHz versus 2.30 GHz. The 223PTE counters with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 5.20 GHz and a lower TDP of 45 watts versus 65 watts. Those advantages do not translate into recorded performance because no tests exist for the 223PTE. The i5-14600 has a higher launch MSRP of $255 compared to $232 for the 223PTE, but the performance data justifies the difference.

The i5-14600 is the only processor in this comparison with verified results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30464 and single-core score of 4300 establish a strong baseline. Its PassMark multithread score of 35848 and single-thread score of 4167 reinforce that position. The 223PTE cannot be recommended based on database evidence, as no measurable output supports any claim of superiority.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14600 wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with recorded benchmark data. Its Cinebench R23 scores of 30464 multi-core and 4300 single-core demonstrate strength in both parallel and single-threaded tasks. Geekbench scores of 14680 multi-core and 2424 single-core align with that pattern. PassMark results show a balanced profile: integer math at 117078, floating point at 85759, and extended instructions at 25674. Data compression at 434620 and random string sorting at 48043 indicate solid memory and logic throughput. Encryption at 25082 and physics at 2330 provide additional coverage of specialized workloads.

The 223PTE wins in specification-level comparisons only. Its boost clock of 5.40 GHz exceeds the i5-14600 by 0.20 GHz. Its TDP of 45 watts is 20 watts lower than the i5-14600, suggesting efficiency potential. Its memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is recorded, while the i5-14600 lacks a figure. Its launch MSRP of $232 is lower than the $255 of the i5-14600. None of these advantages appear in the benchmark data, so they cannot be verified as performance wins. The i5-14600 remains the choice for any workload where measured performance matters, and its 89th percentile ranking places it among the top processors in the database. The 223PTE, with no scores and a 50th percentile placement, offers no verified basis for selection.
