Intel® Core™ 5 221E

The Intel Core 5 221E is a embedded processor with a hybrid 14-core layout (6 performance cores + 8 efficiency cores) and 20 threads, built on the Bartlett Lake architecture (Intel 7 process). It launched in Jan 2025. Clocks run from 2.7 GHz base to 5.2 GHz boost. A 24-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR5, DDR4 memory up to 192 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA1700 socket and exposes PCIe 5.0 (20 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Gaussian Neural Accelerator, Extended Page Tables (EPT), Control-flow Enforcement (CET).

The Intel Core 5 221E scores 4,037 in single-core performance and 30,799 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 11,151 for overall performance, 25,671 for productivity performance, 24,206 for creator performance, 34,456 for engineering performance and 19,811 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,200 per core, 1,540 per thread and 474 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 1,383. Its performance index is 138, so its overall performance is 38% above the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core 5 221E scores 117,168 in integer math, 80,492 in floating-point math, 331,220 in compression, 19,662 in cryptography, 2,220 in physics simulation, 18,554 in vector SIMD, 169 in the prime sieve and 38,434 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 99% above in integer math, 75% above in floating-point math, 45% above in compression, 71% above in cryptography, 104% above in physics simulation, 20% above in vector SIMD, 152% above in the prime sieve and 70% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core 5 221E has 14 physical cores and runs 20 logical threads. It uses a hybrid layout of 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores. It runs at a base clock of 2.70 GHz and boosts up to 5.20 GHz.
