Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core i9-14900HX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results for the Intel Core 5 223PTE, as its benchmark array is empty. The Intel Core i9-14900HX, by contrast, has a full set of recorded measurements. Because the Core 5 223PTE lacks any benchmark scores, the comparison must rely entirely on architectural specifications and the i9-14900HX's measured performance profile.

For the Intel Core i9-14900HX, the recorded data shows strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 30055 points in multi-core and 2181.5 points in single-core. The R20 run shows 15616 multi-core and 2204 single-core, while R15 yields 4574 multi-core and 310.5 single-core. Geekbench results indicate 17511 multi-core and 2330 single-core. PassMark tests further detail the i9-14900HX's capabilities: multithread score of 43778, single-thread score of 4175, integer math at 157375, floating point math at 112273, data compression at 539965, data encryption at 32619, extended instructions at 31247, physics at 2638, and random string sorting at 60861. Prime number finding scores 193.

These numbers place the i9-14900HX at the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 56004. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core 7 253PQE at 55919 (0.2% ahead), the AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 at 56273 (0.5% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 at 56306 (0.5% behind), and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX at 56555 (1% behind). The i9-14900HX essentially trades blows with these parts, sitting within a 1% band.

Since the Core 5 223PTE has no measured scores, any direct numerical comparison is impossible. The data simply shows a processor with 8 cores and 16 threads against a 24-core, 32-thread part that has been thoroughly tested. The i9-14900HX's 30055 Cinebench R23 multi-core score reflects its thread-heavy design, but no equivalent figure exists for the Core 5 223PTE to contrast with.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in core topology. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i9-14900HX uses 24 cores and 32 threads. The i9-14900HX belongs to the Raptor Lake-HX architecture with the Raptor Lake codename and is part of the Core 14th Gen series. The Core 5 223PTE carries the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 (Bartlett Lake) generation. Both are built on Intel's 10 nm process node and fabricated by Intel.

The i9-14900HX has a larger die at 257 mm², while the Core 5 223PTE does not have a recorded die size. Cache configurations also differ: both share 80 KB L1 per core and 2 MB L2 per core, but the L3 cache jumps from 24 MB shared on the Core 5 223PTE to 36 MB shared on the i9-14900HX. The i9-14900HX's extra 12 MB of L3 cache aligns with its higher core count and larger die.

Clock speeds favor the i9-14900HX at the top end. The Core 5 223PTE has a base clock of 2.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The i9-14900HX starts lower at 2.20 GHz base but boosts higher to 5.80 GHz. The i9-14900HX also has an unlocked multiplier, while the Core 5 223PTE does not. Both support DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, and both use PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Core 5 223PTE records 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, while the i9-14900HX has no memory bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

The integrated graphics are identical: UHD Graphics 770 on both parts. Socket types differ completely, with the Core 5 223PTE on Intel Socket 1700 (desktop) and the i9-14900HX on Intel BGA 1964 (mobile). The market segment confirms this split: desktop for the Core 5 223PTE, mobile for the i9-14900HX.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split. The Intel Core i9-14900HX is a high-core-count mobile processor with extensive benchmark coverage. Its 24 cores, 32 threads, 36 MB L3 cache, and 5.80 GHz boost clock support a 91st percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 56004. The measured Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30055 and Geekbench multi-core of 17511 show a part designed for heavy parallel workloads. Its nearest rivals all fall within a 1% performance band, confirming that it sits at the top of its peer group.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE offers a completely different profile. With 8 cores, 16 threads, 24 MB L3 cache, and a 5.40 GHz boost clock, it targets the desktop segment on Socket 1700. Its 50th percentile ranking and zero recorded benchmark scores mean the database has no performance evidence for it. The processor carries a launch MSRP of $232, but pricing discussions are outside the scope of this analysis.

For users choosing between these two, the decision hinges on workload and platform. The i9-14900HX is the only one with measured performance, and that performance is excellent for multi-threaded tasks. The Core 5 223PTE is a desktop part with fewer threads and a lower percentile ranking, but its actual benchmark results are absent from the database, so no direct comparison can be made.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14900HX wins in every category where data exists. Its benchmark suite covers Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, Geekbench, and multiple PassMark tests. The multi-core results are particularly strong: Cinebench R23 multi-core at 30055, Cinebench R20 multi-core at 15616, and PassMark multithread at 43778. Single-core performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 2181.5 and PassMark single-thread at 4175. For anyone running CPU-intensive workloads on a mobile platform, the i9-14900HX delivers across the board.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark wins because no benchmark data exists for it. Its advantages are purely architectural: a desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700), a lower TDP of 45 versus 55, and a higher base clock of 2.30 GHz versus 2.20 GHz. It also has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, which the i9-14900HX lacks. These factors suggest a more power-efficient desktop part, but without scores, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage.

For multi-threaded rendering, compilation, or scientific workloads, the i9-14900HX is the only option with evidence to support it. For a desktop build where power draw and socket compatibility matter, the Core 5 223PTE offers a lower-TDP alternative, but its performance remains unverified in the recorded data.
