Intel Core 5 223PTE vs Intel Core Ultra 7 268V Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark record for the Intel Core Ultra 7 268V, while the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry shapes the comparison: the Ultra 7 268V can be positioned against its nearest rivals, but the Core 5 223PTE must be assessed through specifications and architectural characteristics.

The Core Ultra 7 268V posts an average benchmark score of 20897, placing it at the 74th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE, scores 20900, a delta of 0 percent. The Intel Core i5-12600T trails by 0.1 percent with a score of 20917, while the AMD EPYC 7J13 sits 0.2 percent ahead at 20845. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125U is 0.3 percent behind at 20826. These margins are narrow, indicating that the Ultra 7 268V sits in a tightly contested performance band.

In Cinebench R23, the Ultra 7 268V achieves a multicore score of 10653 and a singlecore score of 1921. The Cinebench R20 run shows 6887 multicore and 972 singlecore. Cinebench R15 returns 1616 multicore and 293 singlecore. The Geekbench results show 9963 multicore and 2270 singlecore.

PassMark results for the Ultra 7 268V cover specialized workloads. The multithread score is 19297, and the single thread score is 4051. Integer math reaches 42669, while floating point math hits 57628. Data compression scores 181443, and data encryption reaches 13779. Extended instructions produce 15323, random string sorting delivers 22416, and physics processing records 1617. The find prime numbers test yields 192.

The Core 5 223PTE carries no benchmark entries and no nearest rival data. Its percentile ranking of 50 places it at the midpoint of the database distribution, but without measured scores, direct head-to-head numeric comparisons cannot be constructed. The Ultra 7 268V, by contrast, has a full benchmark suite and a percentile ranking of 74, indicating that it outperforms roughly three quarters of all recorded CPUs.

FAQ

Q: How does the Intel Core Ultra 7 268V compare to its closest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE?

A: The Ultra 7 268V has an average benchmark score of 20897, while the Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE scores 20900. The delta is 0 percent, meaning the two processors perform at essentially the same level in the database's aggregate measurements.

Q: What is the performance gap between the Core Ultra 7 268V and the Intel Core i5-12600T?

A: The Core i5-12600T has an average score of 20917, which is 0.1 percent higher than the Ultra 7 268V's 20897. The difference is negligible in practical terms.

Q: What is the process node difference between the two processors?

A: The Core 5 223PTE uses a 10 nm node fabricated by Intel, while the Core Ultra 7 268V uses a 3 nm node fabricated by TSMC.

Q: What is the TDP of each processor?

A: The Core 5 223PTE has a TDP of 45, while the Core Ultra 7 268V has a TDP of 17. The Ultra 7 268V is rated for substantially lower power consumption.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in architecture. The Core 5 223PTE belongs to the Bartlett Lake generation and uses the "Bartlett Lake" codename. It is built on a 10 nm process node at Intel's foundry. The Core Ultra 7 268V belongs to the Core Ultra Series 2, uses the Lunar Lake architecture and codename, and is fabricated on a 3 nm node by TSMC.

Core counts match at 8 cores each, but thread counts differ. The Core 5 223PTE supports 16 threads, while the Core Ultra 7 268V supports 8 threads. The Core 5 223PTE therefore has simultaneous multithreading, and the Ultra 7 268V does not.

Cache layouts differ considerably. The Core 5 223PTE provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core Ultra 7 268V provides 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ultra 7 268V has larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, while the Core 5 223PTE has twice the shared L3 capacity.

Memory support also differs. The Core 5 223PTE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and ECC support enabled. The Core Ultra 7 268V lists memory support as dependent on the motherboard, with dual-channel operation and no ECC support. The memory bandwidth field for the Ultra 7 268V is not recorded in the database.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The Core 5 223PTE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Core Ultra 7 268V provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ. The Core 5 223PTE uses UHD Graphics 770. The Core Ultra 7 268V uses Arc 140V.

The Core 5 223PTE targets the desktop market segment and uses Intel Socket 1700. The Core Ultra 7 268V targets the mobile segment and uses Intel BGA 2833. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Core 5 223PTE has a launch MSRP of $232; the Ultra 7 268V has no recorded launch MSRP.

The Core 5 223PTE has a base clock of 2.30 and a boost clock of 5.40. The Core Ultra 7 268V has a base clock of 2.20 and a boost clock of 5.00. The Core 5 223PTE has the higher clock speeds, though the Ultra 7 268V's lower TDP of 17 versus 45 suggests different power envelopes.

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports a clear choice for measured performance: the Intel Core Ultra 7 268V. It holds a 74th percentile ranking, an average benchmark score of 20897, and a full suite of Cinebench, Geekbench, and PassMark results. Its nearest rivals sit within a 0.3 percent band, confirming that it competes at a consistent level. The Core 5 223PTE has no recorded benchmark scores and a 50th percentile ranking, which places it at the database midpoint but without the evidence needed to claim a performance advantage.

The Core 5 223PTE offers structural advantages that may matter in specific configurations. It supports ECC memory, which the Ultra 7 268V does not. It provides 16 threads versus 8, 24 MB of shared L3 versus 12 MB, and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes versus 4. Its desktop socket, Socket 1700, and DDR4/DDR5 support give it broader platform compatibility. Its boost clock of 5.40 exceeds the Ultra 7 268V's 5.00.

The Core Ultra 7 268V counters with a 3 nm process node, larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, a much lower TDP of 17, and a mobile form factor with BGA 2833. Its Arc 140V integrated graphics represent a more advanced iGPU solution than the UHD Graphics 770 in the Core 5 223PTE.

For users prioritizing measured multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, the Ultra 7 268V is the only processor in this comparison with actual benchmark verification. For users requiring ECC memory, a desktop socket, higher PCIe lane count, or simultaneous multithreading, the Core 5 223PTE provides capabilities that the Ultra 7 268V cannot match, though those capabilities come without recorded performance scores in the database.
