AMD Ryzen 3 5305G vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these two processors into clearly different roles. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G is a desktop part with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process. The Intel Core 7 360 is a mobile processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, using the Wildcat Lake codename on a 3 nm node. The recorded measurements show no benchmark wins for the AMD side, while the Intel side holds every recorded score in the database.

The Intel Core 7 360 wins across every single benchmark category present in the data. That includes multi-core workloads, single-thread tests, and specialized PassMark operations. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G has no wins in any benchmark entry, meaning the database contains no test where the AMD part outperforms the Intel part.

Breaking down the wins by workload type, the Intel Core 7 360 dominates in multi-threaded scenarios. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13634 points to strong sustained multi-core performance. The Cinebench R20 multicore result of 5726 and the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1374 follow the same pattern. The PassMark multithread score of 15544 and the PassMark physics score of 1213 reinforce this, though the physics result appears relatively moderate compared to the other multi-core figures.

The Intel part also takes the single-thread category. The PassMark single thread score of 4274 (also recorded as 4274 in the passmark_singlethread entry) shows strong per-core performance. Cinebench R23 singlecore at 1924, R20 singlecore at 808, and R15 singlecore at 193 all point in the same direction. The high boost clock of 4.80 GHz likely contributes to these results.

Specialized instruction workloads also favor the Intel Core 7 360. The PassMark data compression score of 142877 stands out as the highest single result in the entire dataset. Data encryption at 11164, extended instructions at 12390, floating point math at 44963, integer math at 34238, and random string sorting at 17636 all appear in the Intel column. The find prime numbers score of 120 is the lowest recorded result, which suggests this particular workload does not play to the processor's strengths.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G has no recorded benchmarks in the database at all. Its benchmark array is empty, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0. The percentile versus all CPUs is 50 for the AMD part, while the Intel part sits at the 72nd percentile. The Intel Core 7 360 has an average benchmark score of 18374.

The Verdict

The data points to a one-sided comparison. Every benchmark result in the database belongs to the Intel Core 7 360, and the AMD Ryzen 3 5305G has no recorded scores to compare against. For any workload represented in the measurements, the Intel part is the one with demonstrated performance.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G offers 8 threads on 4 cores, which is a higher thread-to-core ratio than the Intel part's 6 threads on 6 cores. However, without any benchmark scores for the AMD side, there is no measurement to confirm whether that threading advantage translates into actual performance. The Intel Core 7 360 records a 6-core, 6-thread configuration, and its data shows strong results across the board.

The Intel part's nearest rivals in the database are Intel Core i3-13100 with an average score of 18380 and a delta of 0 percent, Intel Core 5 330 at 18345 with a 0.2 percent delta, Intel Core i3-14100 at 18318 with a 0.3 percent delta, and Intel Core 3 305 at 18302 with a 0.4 percent delta. The Core 7 360 sits almost exactly at the same performance level as those parts, with its average benchmark score of 18374 falling between the i3-13100 and the Core 5 330.

For users looking at the database results, the Intel Core 7 360 is the only part with measurable performance. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305G appears in the database without any benchmark entries, so no performance claims can be made from the recorded data. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $426, which is a single data point and nothing more.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array is empty. There are no direct comparison scores between the AMD Ryzen 3 5305G and the Intel Core 7 360 in the database. However, the Intel Core 7 360 has its own benchmark entries, and those provide the only performance data available for this comparison.

The largest wins for the Intel part come in multi-core Cinebench tests. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13634 is substantial for a 15 W mobile processor. The Cinebench R20 multicore result of 5726 and the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1374 show consistent scaling across Cinebench versions. The PassMark multithread score of 15544 aligns with those results.

The single-core results are equally decisive. The PassMark single thread score of 4274 is the highest single-thread measurement in the Intel dataset. Cinebench R23 singlecore at 1924, R20 singlecore at 808, and R15 singlecore at 193 all confirm strong per-core performance. The boost clock of 4.80 GHz is the highest clock figure in either processor's specification, which likely explains these results.

The PassMark data compression score of 142877 is the standout figure in the entire dataset. It exceeds every other PassMark result by a wide margin. Data encryption at 11164 and extended instructions at 12390 show the processor handles specialized workloads well. Floating point math at 44963 and integer math at 34238 demonstrate solid arithmetic throughput. Random string sorting at 17636 completes the PassMark picture.

The find prime numbers score of 120 is notably lower than the other PassMark results. This suggests the workload does not scale as well on this processor, but it remains a recorded win for the Intel part since the AMD side has no scores at all.
