AMD Ryzen 3 30 vs Intel Xeon 6325P Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 and Intel Xeon 6325P are both 4-core, 8-thread processors, but the benchmark data places them in different performance classes. In every head-to-head test recorded in the database, the Intel Xeon 6325P wins outright. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 does not claim a single victory across the 11 compared workloads. This is a one-sided comparison, and the numbers make that clear.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest margin comes in the prime number search test. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 66, while the AMD Ryzen 3 30 scores 20, a delta of -69.7%. That is the widest gap in the entire set. Floating point math follows closely: Intel scores 37,265 against AMD's 14,448, a -61.2% difference. Physics simulation shows a similar pattern, with Intel at 1,020 and AMD at 436, a -57.3% gap. Extended instruction handling gives Intel 11,645 versus AMD's 6,075, a -47.8% deficit for AMD.

Multithreaded performance is also heavily in Intel's favor. The Xeon 6325P records 16,138 in the PassMark multithread test, while the Ryzen 3 30 manages 9,027, a -44.1% difference. Single-thread performance follows the same trend: Intel scores 4,213, AMD scores 2,465, a -41.5% gap. Integer math shows Intel at 49,151 against AMD's 29,846, a -39.3% difference. Data encryption gives Intel 9,311 versus AMD's 6,461, a -30.6% gap. Random string sorting is closer but still decisive: Intel 19,113, AMD 14,431, a -24.5% difference. Data compression, the smallest margin, still leaves Intel ahead at 178,020 versus AMD's 135,834, a -23.7% gap.

The average benchmark score reinforces this. The Intel Xeon 6325P averages 20,821, while the AMD Ryzen 3 30 averages 20,137. Both processors sit at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, but the raw scores show Intel's consistent advantage. The database also lists the single-thread and singlethread tests as identical scores for each CPU, confirming the result. No workload in the head-to-head set favors the AMD part.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 uses the Zen 2 architecture on a 6 nm process from TSMC, with a die size of 100 mm². The Intel Xeon 6325P uses Raptor Lake on a 10 nm process from Intel, with a die size of 163 mm². The larger die and older node do not hurt Intel's performance, as the benchmark results show.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 cache on the Intel side likely contributes to its lead in memory-sensitive workloads.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 supports LPDDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s. The Intel Xeon 6325P supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus, but the database does not list a bandwidth figure. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part but not on the AMD part. PCIe connectivity is another differentiator: AMD offers Gen 3 with 4 lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics are present only on the AMD side. The Ryzen 3 30 includes a Radeon 610M GPU, while the Intel Xeon 6325P has no integrated graphics. This is a notable feature for systems that need display output without a discrete GPU. The market segments reflect this: AMD is classified as Mobile, while Intel is Server/Workstation.

Clock speeds and power draw are also distinct. The AMD part has a base clock of 2.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, with a TDP of 15 watts. The Intel part has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz, with a TDP of 55 watts. The higher clocks and power envelope on the Intel side align with its performance advantage. The sockets differ as well: AMD uses Socket FT6, Intel uses Socket 1700. Release dates are also different, with AMD launching on September 30, 2025, and Intel on February 23, 2025.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data shows no performance category where the AMD Ryzen 3 30 leads. Every measured workload, from integer math to data compression, is won by the Intel Xeon 6325P. For users who prioritize raw compute throughput, the Intel part is the only choice based on these results.

The AMD part does have non-performance advantages. Its integrated Radeon 610M graphics provide a display output capability that the Intel part lacks entirely. Its TDP of 15 watts is far lower than Intel's 55 watts, which may matter in power-constrained or mobile designs. The AMD part also supports LPDDR5 memory, which is common in thin-and-light systems. However, these features do not translate into any benchmark win. The database records zero wins for the AMD part across all 11 head-to-head tests.

For workloads that stress the CPU, such as physics simulation, floating point math, or extended instruction sets, the Intel Xeon 6325P is decisively ahead. Even in the closest test, data compression, Intel leads by 23.7%. The AMD part may be suitable for basic tasks or as a low-power option, but the recorded data offers no evidence of a performance advantage.

The Verdict

The Intel Xeon 6325P is the clear winner in this comparison. It outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 30 in every single benchmark recorded in the database. The margins range from 23.7% to 69.7%, and the average score is higher as well. Users who need maximum processing power should select the Intel part without hesitation.

The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is not without merit. Its integrated graphics, lower TDP, and mobile classification make it a candidate for systems where power efficiency and display output are priorities. But the data shows no scenario where it beats the Intel part on performance. The Intel Xeon 6325P also carries a launch MSRP of $281, which is the only price information available in the database. For any workload that depends on CPU throughput, the Intel Xeon 6325P is the superior choice.
