AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE vs Intel Xeon D-1567 Comparison

FAQ

Q: Which processor wins in multi-core benchmarks?

A: The Intel Xeon D-1567 wins all three multi-core tests by a 0.4% margin. It scores 965 vs 961 in Cinebench R15, 4022 vs 4006 in R20, and 9578 vs 9540 in R23.

Q: Does the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE have any benchmark advantage?

A: No. The head-to-head data shows the Intel chip winning all six tests. The closest margin is 0.4% in five tests, with the largest gap being 0.7% in Cinebench R15 single-core.

Q: How do their average benchmark scores compare?

A: The Xeon D-1567 averages 2770, while the Ryzen 3 4300GE averages 2759 — a difference of 11 points. Their nearest-rival lists place them within 0.4% of each other, with the Xeon ranking at the 51st percentile vs the Ryzen's 50th.

Q: What are the core and thread counts?

A: The Xeon D-1567 has 12 cores and 24 threads. The Ryzen 3 4300GE has 4 cores and 8 threads. Despite the 3x core-count advantage, the Xeon's lead remains under 1% in every test.

Q: Which processor has integrated graphics?

A: Only the AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE, which includes Radeon Vega 6 graphics. The Intel Xeon D-1567 has no integrated graphics, making it unsuitable for systems without a discrete GPU.

Q: What are the TDP ratings?

A: The Xeon D-1567 has a 65W TDP, while the Ryzen 3 4300GE draws 35W. The Ryzen's power draw is roughly half, despite running at higher clock speeds.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The Intel Xeon D-1567 is a Broadwell-DE server chip built on Intel's 14nm process with 3,200 million transistors on a 246 mm² die. It uses a 12-core, 24-thread configuration with 64 KB L1 and 256 KB L2 per core, plus 1.5 MB L3 per core. Memory support spans DDR3 and DDR4 in dual-channel mode, and ECC is enabled. The chip connects via Intel BGA 1667 socket with 24 PCIe Gen 3 lanes.

The AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE is a Zen 2 Renoir desktop part fabricated on TSMC's 7nm process. It packs 9,800 million transistors onto a smaller 156 mm² die, thanks to the denser process. The 4-core, 8-thread configuration uses 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core, with a shared 4 MB L3 pool. It supports only DDR4 in dual-channel mode, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and also supports ECC. The AM4 socket and 35W TDP make it a low-power desktop option, with PCIe Gen 3 and an unlocked multiplier.

The transistor count disparity is striking: AMD crams over three times as many transistors into a smaller die, allowing the Ryzen to hit a 3.50 GHz base and 4.00 GHz boost clock versus the Xeon's 2.10 GHz base and 2.70 GHz boost. The Xeon counters with triple the cores and 16 additional threads. The manufacturing process gap — 7nm vs 14nm — explains the efficiency difference, as the Ryzen delivers higher clocks at nearly half the TDP.

Cache design also diverges. The Xeon allocates L3 per core, which suits its many-core server workload. The Ryzen uses a shared L3 pool, which benefits its fewer cores by allowing more flexible allocation. Both use 64 KB L1 per core, but the Ryzen's L2 is double the Xeon's per core.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark results tell a remarkably consistent story: the Intel Xeon D-1567 wins every test, but by margins so narrow they border on statistical noise. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Xeon scores 965 against the Ryzen's 961 — a 0.4% lead. Single-core in R15 shows the largest gap of the entire comparison: 136 vs 135, a 0.7% edge for Intel.

The pattern holds in R20. Multi-core results show 4022 vs 4006 (0.4% to Intel), and single-core shows 567 vs 565 (0.4% to Intel). R23 follows identically: 9578 vs 9540 multi-core and 1352 vs 1346 single-core, both 0.4% in favor of the Xeon.

These results defy the architectural differences. The Xeon's 12 cores vs the Ryzen's 4 should produce a massive multi-core advantage, yet the Ryzen's far higher clock speeds (4.00 GHz boost vs 2.70 GHz) nearly neutralize the core-count gap. Conversely, the Ryzen's clock advantage should dominate single-core, but the Xeon's Broadwell architecture holds a slight edge there too.

The average benchmark scores reflect this parity. The Xeon sits at 2770, the Ryzen at 2759. Their nearest-rival lists confirm the closeness: the Xeon's closest rival is the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4350GE at a 0.1% delta, while the Ryzen 3 4300GE's closest rival is the Ryzen 3 5400U at -0.2%. Each processor appears on the other's nearest-rival list with a delta of -0.4% (from the Ryzen's perspective) and 0.4% (from the Xeon's perspective).

The Verdict

The data points to a statistical tie with a technical winner. The Intel Xeon D-1567 wins all six head-to-head benchmarks, but the largest margin is 0.7% and the average margin is 0.4%. Any single benchmark run could plausibly flip these results due to normal variance.

The real differentiation lies outside the benchmark scores. The Xeon D-1567 targets server and workstation deployments, with a launch MSRP of 1199, a BGA 1667 socket, and support for both DDR3 and DDR4 memory. It offers 12 cores and 24 threads for heavily threaded workloads, but lacks integrated graphics entirely.

The Ryzen 3 4300GE is a desktop processor with a 35W TDP, AM4 socket, Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics, and an unlocked multiplier. It matches the Xeon's performance in Cinebench tests while drawing less power and providing a GPU. For a compact desktop or home-theater PC, the Ryzen's integrated graphics and low power draw are decisive advantages.

The Xeon wins on paper; the Ryzen wins on practicality for most users. Server workloads that scale beyond 8 threads would favor the Xeon, but the benchmark data shows no such scaling advantage in Cinebench. The verdict: the Xeon D-1567 is the faster chip by a hair, but the Ryzen 3 4300GE delivers essentially the same performance with far less power and built-in graphics.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Xeon D-1567 wins on:

• All six Cinebench tests, with margins from 0.4% to 0.7%
• Multi-threaded throughput potential via 12 cores and 24 threads
• Memory flexibility with DDR3 and DDR4 support
• Server/workstation market positioning with ECC memory
• PCIe lane count at 24 lanes

AMD Ryzen 3 4300GE wins on:

• Power efficiency, with a 35W TDP vs the Xeon's 65W
• Clock speed, with a 4.00 GHz boost vs 2.70 GHz
• Integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics, eliminating the need for a discrete GPU
• Overclocking capability via unlocked multiplier
• Manufacturing efficiency with TSMC's 7nm process
• Memory bandwidth specification at 51.2 GB/s

The Xeon is the choice for existing server infrastructure that requires BGA 1667 compatibility or DDR3 memory support. The Ryzen suits new desktop builds where integrated graphics, low power consumption, and overclocking matter more than a 0.4% benchmark edge.
