Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data in the database contains no direct comparisons between these two processors. The Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores, no average benchmark score, and no nearest rivals listed. The Core Ultra 5 225H, however, has a full set of benchmark results across several test suites. The Core 5 223PTE shows zero wins and zero losses in head-to-head comparisons, and the Core Ultra 5 225H also shows zero wins and zero losses. This means the database provides no direct performance measurements for the Core 5 223PTE, making a strict head-to-head numerical comparison impossible.

The Core Ultra 5 225H, on the other hand, delivers recorded scores that place it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 31508. The nearest rivals for the Core Ultra 5 225H include the Intel Core i5-13500, which has an average score of 31510 and a difference of 0 percent, meaning the two are statistically identical. The AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX also scores 31495, a 0 percent difference. The Intel Core 7 240H scores 31483, a 0.1 percent difference, and the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 scores 31473, also a 0.1 percent difference. These results indicate that the Core Ultra 5 225H sits in a cluster of processors with nearly identical average performance.

For the Core Ultra 5 225H specifically, the Cinebench R15 multi-core score is 2397.5, and the single-core score is 288.5. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score rises to 10041, and the single-core score is 1417. The Cinebench R23 results show a multi-core score of 14629.5 and a single-core score of 1969. Geekbench multi-core performance is 11526, with a single-core score of 2151. PassMark results include a multithread score of 28119, a single-thread score of 4258, integer math at 68520, floating point math at 86540, data compression at 283451, data encryption at 21428, extended instructions at 21915, find prime numbers at 220, physics at 1877, and random string sorting at 33654. These numbers provide a complete picture for the mobile chip but leave the desktop chip without any comparable data.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H is the only processor in this comparison with measurable performance. Its placement in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, combined with an average benchmark score of 31508, confirms that it delivers competitive performance among contemporary processors. The nearest rivals show that it trades blows with the Intel Core i5-13500 and the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, both with a 0 percent difference in average score, meaning the Core Ultra 5 225H matches them almost exactly. It also edges out the Intel Core 7 240H and the Intel Core Ultra 3 205 by a 0.1 percent margin.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile versus all CPUs is 50, which is the median position, but that figure is not backed by any recorded test results. The average benchmark score is zero, and there are no nearest rivals to provide context. The data cannot confirm any performance advantage or disadvantage for the Core 5 223PTE. The only facts available are its specifications, such as the 8 cores, 16 threads, 2.30 GHz base clock, 5.40 GHz boost clock, and 45 W thermal design power.

From the recorded data, the Core Ultra 5 225H is the processor with verified performance. The Core 5 223PTE remains a specification-only entry, so any direct verdict on which processor is faster cannot be derived from the database. For users choosing based on measurements, the Core Ultra 5 225H has the evidence. For users choosing based on specifications alone, the Core 5 223PTE offers a higher boost clock and a desktop socket, but no benchmark results exist to confirm real-world behavior.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225H wins in every category where data exists. It has recorded scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark, and it demonstrates strong multi-core performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14629.5 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 11526. Its single-core results are also solid, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1969 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2151. The PassMark multithread score of 28119 and the single-thread score of 4258 further confirm that the Core Ultra 5 225H delivers balanced performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded wins because it has no recorded benchmarks. The database lists zero wins for it, and its nearest rivals list is empty. The only potential advantage lies in its specifications, such as the higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz compared to the 4.90 GHz of the Core Ultra 5 225H, and its larger 24 MB shared L3 cache versus the 18 MB shared L3 cache of the mobile chip. The desktop part also supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the mobile part supports only DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The Core 5 223PTE also supports ECC memory, which the Core Ultra 5 225H does not. However, without benchmark scores, these specification differences cannot be translated into performance wins.

The Core Ultra 5 225H also wins in portability and power efficiency, with a 28 W thermal design power compared to the 45 W of the desktop chip. The mobile processor uses a 3 nm process node from TSMC, while the desktop chip uses a 10 nm process node from Intel. The Core Ultra 5 225H integrates Arc Graphics 130T, whereas the Core 5 223PTE integrates UHD Graphics 770. The mobile chip has a memory bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s, exceeding the 89.6 GB/s of the desktop part.
