AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Intel Core i5-1345UE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data presents a remarkably one-sided picture. Across all six Cinebench tests, the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE takes the win, leaving the Intel Core i5-1345UE without a single victory. The head-to-head results show a consistent pattern: the AMD part leads by 2.2% or 2.3% in every test, whether single-threaded or multi-threaded.

The Ryzen 3 4300GE wins in Cinebench R15 multicore with a score of 961 against 940, a 2.2% advantage. In R15 single-core, it posts 135 versus 132, a 2.3% edge. Moving to R20, the AMD chip scores 4006 in multicore versus 3918, again a 2.2% margin, and 565 versus 553 in single-core, another 2.2% gap. The R23 results continue the trend: 9540 versus 9329 in multicore (2.3%) and 1346 versus 1317 in single-core (2.2%).

This overall sweep is notable because the two processors sit in different market segments and use very different architectures. The Ryzen 3 4300GE is a desktop part from AMD's 4000 series, built on Zen 2 with 4 cores and 8 threads. The Core i5-1345UE is a mobile processor from Intel's Raptor Lake family, offering 10 cores and 12 threads. Despite the Intel chip having more than double the core count, it cannot translate that into a benchmark win in any of the recorded tests.

The average benchmark scores reinforce this picture. The Ryzen 3 4300GE holds an average score of 2759 across all recorded benchmarks, while the Core i5-1345UE sits at 2698. That is a gap of roughly 2.3%, which aligns closely with the per-test deltas. Both processors land at the 50th percentile among all CPUs in the database, meaning they occupy a similar middle-ground position in overall performance rankings, but the AMD part is consistently ahead in direct comparisons.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE is the stronger performer in every benchmark recorded. If the question is purely about Cinebench scores, the AMD chip wins all six tests, with margins ranging from 2.2% to 2.3%. There is no scenario in the recorded data where the Intel Core i5-1345UE comes out ahead.

For a user prioritizing raw benchmark performance in rendering workloads, the Ryzen 3 4300GE is the choice. Its 4-core, 8-thread configuration with a 35 watt TDP delivers consistently higher scores than the 10-core, 12-thread Intel part running at 15 watts. The fact that the AMD processor achieves this with fewer cores and a higher power envelope suggests its architecture extracts more performance per core in these tests.

The Core i5-1345UE, despite its larger core count and newer Raptor Lake architecture, trails in every recorded measurement. Its average score of 2698 places it slightly behind the Ryzen 3 4300GE's 2759. The Intel chip's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-8700T at 2701 (a 0.1% gap) and the Intel Core i7-1185G7E at 2703 (0.2% behind), which shows it is competitive with other Intel parts, but not with the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE in this head-to-head.

For a buyer who values single-thread performance, the Ryzen 3 4300GE again leads, with a 2.2% to 2.3% advantage across all three single-core Cinebench versions. For multi-threaded workloads, the same margins hold. The verdict from the data is unambiguous: the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE wins this comparison on every recorded metric.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The six head-to-head tests all follow the same shape: the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE wins by a narrow but consistent margin. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD scores 961 against the Intel's 940, a 2.2% difference. This is the smallest absolute gap in points, just 21, but the percentage is in line with the other tests.

Cinebench R15 single-core shows the AMD at 135 and the Intel at 132, a 2.3% lead. That 3-point difference is the only single-core test where the margin reaches 2.3%; the others settle at 2.2%. The R20 multicore test sees AMD at 4006 versus 3918, an 88-point gap and a 2.2% edge. R20 single-core puts AMD at 565 against 553, a 12-point difference and 2.2% again.

The most significant point gap appears in Cinebench R23 multicore, where the AMD chip scores 9540 and the Intel chip scores 9329. That 211-point difference represents a 2.3% advantage, the largest percentage margin in any test. In R23 single-core, AMD leads 1346 to 1317, a 29-point gap and 2.2%.

These margins are consistent enough to suggest a systematic performance advantage rather than a test-specific quirk. The AMD part wins by roughly the same percentage across all six tests, which implies its architecture delivers a uniform edge in both single-threaded and multi-threaded Cinebench workloads. The Intel chip's higher core count (10 versus 4) does not help it in multi-core tests, likely because those tests scale with per-core efficiency and thread scheduling rather than raw core count alone.

The delta percentages are small, between 2.2% and 2.3%, so this is not a landslide victory in absolute terms. But it is a complete sweep. The recorded data shows no test where the Intel Core i5-1345UE pulls ahead, and the consistency of the margins makes the result reliable.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE uses the Zen 2 architecture, code-named Renoir, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 9,800 million transistors into a 156 mm² die. The Intel Core i5-1345UE uses Raptor Lake architecture, code-named Raptor Lake-U, on Intel's 10 nm process. The database lists no transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

Core configurations diverge sharply. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip has 10 cores and 12 threads. The Intel part's core count is more than double, but its thread count is only 1.5 times higher, indicating a hybrid core arrangement. The AMD chip's cache layout is simpler: 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip offers 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3, which is three times the L3 capacity.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE carries Radeon Vega 6, while the Intel Core i5-1345UE uses Iris Xe Graphics with 80 execution units. Memory support splits: the AMD part supports DDR4 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD chip supports ECC memory, the Intel chip does not. PCIe capabilities also differ, with the AMD part using Gen 3 and the Intel part using Gen 4 with 8 lanes on the CPU only.

The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Intel chip is locked. The AMD part uses the AMD Socket AM4, the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1744. These architectural differences explain why the AMD chip can match or beat the Intel part despite having fewer cores: its Zen 2 design, higher base clock, and larger L1/L2 per core in certain configurations contribute to its consistent benchmark edge.
