AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE vs Intel Core i5-5675C Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE and the Intel Core i5-5675C are both four-core, four-thread desktop processors, but the benchmark data shows a decisive and consistent winner across every recorded test. The Ryzen 3 3200GE wins all six head-to-head Cinebench comparisons, with margins ranging from 25.7% to 26.1%. The i5-5675C leads in no recorded benchmark. This is not a close contest; the data indicates a generational and architectural gap that favors the newer AMD part in every measurable way.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE wins in every category where both were measured. The head-to-head results cover six Cinebench tests: R15, R20, and R23, each in both multi-core and single-core variants. The Ryzen 3 3200GE is the winner in all six. There is no recorded test where the Intel Core i5-5675C comes out ahead.

The most significant advantage for the AMD part appears in multi-threaded workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Ryzen 3 3200GE scores 6179 against the i5-5675C’s 4912, a 25.8% lead. Similarly, in Cinebench R20 multi-core, the margin is 2595 versus 2063, again 25.8%. R15 multi-core shows 622 versus 495, a 25.7% difference. These consistently wide margins suggest the AMD processor sustains its performance advantage across different versions of the same rendering workload.

Single-core results follow the same pattern. The Ryzen 3 3200GE scores 872 in Cinebench R23 single-core versus 693 for the Intel part, a 25.8% gap. In R20 single-core, it is 366 versus 291, and in R15 single-core, 87 versus 69. The Intel i5-5675C does have one additional benchmark record in the database: Geekbench multi-core at 4159 and single-core at 1388. However, the Ryzen 3 3200GE has no Geekbench entry, so no direct comparison is possible for that test. In the tests that exist for both, the AMD part dominates.

The Ryzen 3 3200GE’s percentile ranking among all CPUs is 42, while the i5-5675C sits at 41. This difference is small, but it reflects the overall average benchmark scores: 1787 for the AMD part versus 1759 for the Intel part. The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 3 3200GE include the AMD Opteron 6281 (average score 1789, 0.1% lower) and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 1300 (1778, 0.5% lower). For the i5-5675C, the nearest rivals are the Intel Xeon E-2224 (1762, 0.2% higher) and the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE (1766, 0.4% higher). These figures place both processors in a similar overall performance tier, but the direct head-to-head tests show the Ryzen 3 3200GE is clearly faster.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different eras and different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE is built on the Zen+ architecture, codenamed Picasso, and belongs to the Ryzen 3 generation. It uses a 12 nm process node from GlobalFoundries. The Intel Core i5-5675C uses the Broadwell architecture, also known as Broadwell, from Intel, on a 14 nm process node. The AMD part is newer, released on July 6, 2019, while the Intel part was released on May 14, 2015.

Both have four cores and four threads, so the threading model is identical. The base clock differs: the Ryzen 3 3200GE runs at 3.30 GHz, while the i5-5675C runs at 3.10 GHz. The boost clock also favors AMD: 4.00 GHz versus 3.60 GHz. These clock advantages contribute directly to the benchmark margin.

Cache layouts differ in size per core. The Ryzen 3 3200GE has 96 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The i5-5675C has 64 KB of L1 and 256 KB of L2 per core. Both share 4 MB of L3 cache across the chip. The larger per-core caches on the AMD part likely help in workloads that benefit from faster data reuse.

Memory support is a major split. The AMD processor supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, with a theoretical bandwidth of 46.9 GB/s. The Intel processor supports DDR3 memory, also dual-channel, but with a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s. That is a substantial difference in available memory bandwidth. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 3 3200GE includes Radeon Vega 8 graphics, while the i5-5675C includes Iris Pro Graphics 6200. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not provide benchmark scores for graphics performance, so no direct comparison can be made.

The process node is smaller on the AMD side (12 nm versus 14 nm), and the die size is larger: 210 mm² versus 182 mm². The AMD chip has 4,940 million transistors, while the Intel chip’s transistor count is not recorded. The AMD part is also rated at a lower TDP of 35 watts versus 65 watts for the Intel part. This means the Ryzen 3 3200GE delivers higher performance while consuming less power according to the specification.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The six head-to-head Cinebench results all show the same winner. The Ryzen 3 3200GE beats the i5-5675C in Cinebench R15 multi-core by 25.7%, scoring 622 versus 495. In R15 single-core, the margin is 26.1%, with scores of 87 versus 69. These are the largest and smallest deltas in the set, respectively.

Cinebench R20 results are nearly identical in margin. Multi-core shows 2595 versus 2063, a 25.8% lead for AMD. Single-core shows 366 versus 291, also 25.8%. The consistency of these percentages across different Cinebench versions suggests the performance gap is stable and not dependent on the specific workload iteration.

Cinebench R23 repeats the pattern. Multi-core: 6179 versus 4912, a 25.8% difference. Single-core: 872 versus 693, again 25.8%. The Ryzen 3 3200GE’s advantage is uniform across all three Cinebench generations. The Intel i5-5675C never comes within even 20% of the AMD score in any test.

The only additional benchmark for the Intel part is Geekbench, where it scores 4159 multi-core and 1388 single-core. Since the Ryzen 3 3200GE has no Geekbench score in the database, this cannot be compared directly. However, in all tests where both processors have data, the AMD part wins. The overall average benchmark score confirms the trend: 1787 for the Ryzen 3 3200GE versus 1759 for the i5-5675C.

The nearest rival data provides context. The Ryzen 3 3200GE’s closest competitor is the AMD Opteron 6281, with an average score of 1789, just 0.1% higher. The Intel i5-5675C’s closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE at 1766, which is 0.4% higher than the Intel chip. These comparisons show that the Intel part is not only slower than the Ryzen 3 3200GE but also sits slightly below several other processors in the same performance class.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 3 3200GE is the superior processor in every recorded benchmark. It wins all six head-to-head tests, with margins between 25.7% and 26.1%. The Intel Core i5-5675C has no wins in the database. For anyone choosing between these two based on the recorded measurements, the AMD part is the correct pick.

The Ryzen 3 3200GE also offers a lower TDP of 35 watts compared to 65 watts, which means it achieves its higher scores while consuming less power according to the specification. It supports newer DDR4 memory with higher bandwidth, includes ECC support, and has a smaller process node. The Intel part is not without merits, such as its Iris Pro Graphics 6200, but no benchmark in the database measures graphics performance. In CPU rendering tasks, the AMD part is consistently and significantly faster.

The i5-5675C does have a launch MSRP of $276, which is recorded in the database. The Ryzen 3 3200GE has no recorded launch MSRP. However, price should not be the deciding factor in a performance comparison where one part wins every test. The Intel part’s closest rivals include the Intel Xeon E-2224 and the AMD Ryzen 5 2400GE, both of which score within 0.4% of it. This suggests the i5-5675C is competitive with some other older or lower-tier parts, but it cannot match the Ryzen 3 3200GE.

For a user building a system from the data in this database, the Ryzen 3 3200GE is the stronger choice for multi-core rendering, single-core responsiveness, and efficiency. The i5-5675C remains a functional four-core processor, but it is outclassed in every recorded metric.
