Intel Core 5 223PTE socket: LGA 1700
The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the LGA 1700 socket. It is the 45 W full graphics eight core of the Bartlett Lake embedded range for industrial and edge systems, and consumer 600 and 700 series boards have no BIOS support for it, so it runs only on industrial boards that list it.

What the Core 5 223PTE is
The Intel Core 5 223PTE pairs the lowest power class with the full size integrated GPU, a combination unique inside the eight core Bartlett Lake set launched under Core Series 2 in the first quarter of 2026. Eight Performance-cores with Hyper-Threading deliver 16 threads over 24 MB of Intel Smart Cache with no Efficient-cores. Base frequency is 2.3 GHz, turbo peaks at 5.4 GHz for Performance-cores and Thermal Velocity Boost alike, and the process is Intel 7. Tray recommended customer price is $232.
Full UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units at 45 W is the reason this SKU exists. Interactive kiosks, touchscreen terminals and compact operator stations need fluid display output without the heat or cost of a higher power processor. The 24 unit UHD Graphics 730 in the cheaper 213PTE covers static screens, while the 223PTE keeps animated interfaces and multi display walls smooth inside the same thermal budget.
Against the 65 W 223PE the trade is 600 MHz of base frequency for 20 W of headroom, with identical 5.4 GHz peaks on both. Cabinets that throttle a 65 W part under summer heat run the PTE part at full pace, and fan behavior stays calmer through the working day. Family Time Coordinated Computing and Time Sensitive Networking support carries over for synchronized sites.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
FCLGA1700 packaging seats the chip in LGA 1700, where industrial firmware alone starts it. W680 and Q670 class boards are typical hosts, alongside R680E, Q670e, H610E and H610 designs documented for the family. Display heavy roles often land on boards with multiple video outputs, so confirm output wiring as well as the processor entry on the support list.
Retail firmware policy bars the family from consumer boards. ASRock confirmed its LGA 1700 consumer range including Z790 will stay without Bartlett Lake support, assigning these processors to embedded motherboards and industrial computers. An unrecognized processor stops the board before POST, and seating force changes nothing. The desktop story on this socket ends with the 14th Gen.
Small form factor industrial boards are the natural carrier, since 45 W cooling fits low profile heatsinks and tight chassis. Verify the 45 W thermal rating per SKU rather than per socket. The Socket vs chipset: what decides whether a CPU works guide explains how chipset series and BIOS level jointly determine support.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
Two channel memory runs DDR5 to 5600 MT/s or DDR4 to 3200 MT/s to 192 GB with ECC, set by the board slots. The full 5600 MT/s DDR5 rating matters here because graphics bandwidth feeds directly from system memory. Dual channel population is therefore closer to mandatory on display heavy nodes than on headless ones.
Processor I/O gives sixteen PCIe 5.0 lanes plus four PCIe 4.0 lanes for NVMe, with eight DMI 4 lanes toward the chipset. Vision and terminal layouts rarely need more than one fast slot beside storage. Intel UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units from 300 MHz to 1.65 GHz drives four displays to 8K DisplayPort, which suits video walls and control desks.
Cooling a 45 W part with active graphics still deserves a real thermal budget, since sustained display compositing adds steady load beside the cores. No cooler ships in the tray. The 78 mm LGA 1700 pattern in the CPU cooler compatibility by socket guide sets heatsink choice, sized for cabinet air at continuous duty.
Upgrade paths
The eight core ladder on validated boards offers clear steps. From the 223PTE, move to the 65 W 223PE for base frequency, to the 125 W 223PQE for maximum sustained clocks, or down to the value 213PTE where static screens dominate. Ten and twelve core SKUs wait above for consolidation. Support list, regulation and cooling authorize each move.
Consumer desktop processors never meet this ladder. The Intel Core i5-14400 runs Raptor Lake Refresh firmware on retail 600 and 700 series boards, and neither family boots on the other firmware. Shared dimensions do not merge the platforms.
A future platform exit selects a newer embedded socket with board and memory validated together, traced through the How to find your CPU socket type guide. Touchscreen and kiosk fleets commonly time that move with enclosure refurbishment.
Frequently asked questions
What socket does the Intel Core 5 223PTE use?
It uses LGA 1700, marked FCLGA1700 in Intel documents. Only industrial boards with firmware support start with it.
Can I install the 223PTE in my Z790 board for a low power build?
No. ASRock confirmed its consumer LGA 1700 boards, Z790 included, will not receive Bartlett Lake BIOS support. The chip fits the socket physically but the board will not start without the matching firmware.
What is the difference between the 223PTE and the 223PE?
The 223PTE runs a 2.3 GHz base at 45 W against 2.9 GHz at 65 W on the 223PE, with matching 5.4 GHz peaks. Both list the same $232 tray price, so cabinet cooling decides between them.
Does the 223PTE have the full size integrated graphics?
Yes, the full UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units at 300 MHz to 1.65 GHz, driving four displays to 8K DisplayPort. That is the main advantage over the value 213PTE with its smaller graphics.
