The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, with an average score of 0 and a percentile of 50. This analysis therefore relies on the recorded Intel data, architectural specifications, and the nearest rival comparisons to contextualize performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 3 201E holds the only recorded benchmark data, so its wins are measured directly. It achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12613 and a single-core score of 1780. In PassMark tests, it records a single-thread score of 3482, a multithread score of 14839, integer math at 43894, floating point math at 33260, and extended instructions at 11035. Data compression reaches 164160, data encryption 8931, physics 1141, and random string sorting 17783. The processor finds prime numbers at a rate of 57. These scores place it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19056. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS at 19047 (0% delta), Intel Core i5-12400F at 19039 (0.1% delta), Intel Core i5-1335U at 18982 (0.4% delta), and AMD EPYC 7773X at 18979 (0.4% delta). The Intel Core 3 201E sits slightly ahead of all four in average score, though the deltas are small.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark entries in the database, so it cannot claim any measured wins. However, its architectural profile suggests strengths in power efficiency. The 35 W TDP compared to the Intel part's 60 W TDP indicates lower thermal output, and the 7 nm process node from TSMC contrasts with Intel's 10 nm node. The Ryzen part also has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. The Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics on the AMD side may offer different graphics capabilities than Intel's UHD Graphics 730, but no graphics benchmarks are recorded. In terms of platform support, the AMD part uses Socket AM4 with PCIe Gen 3 (16 lanes), while the Intel part uses LGA 1700 with PCIe Gen 5 (16 lanes). The Intel part supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. Memory bandwidth differs as well: the AMD part lists 51.2 GB/s with DDR4 support, while the Intel part lists 76.8 GB/s with both DDR4 and DDR5 support.

The Intel Core 3 201E wins on raw measured performance across every benchmark category where data exists. The Ryzen 3 5305GE wins on power envelope and overclocking flexibility, though those are not directly benchmarked. The use-case split is therefore clear: the Intel part is the higher-throughput option in measured workloads, while the AMD part targets lower-power builds with manual tuning potential.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core 3 201E is the only processor with verified performance results, and those results are competitive. Its average benchmark score of 19056 places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (19047, 0% delta), Intel Core i5-12400F (19039, 0.1% delta), Intel Core i5-1335U (18982, 0.4% delta), and AMD EPYC 7773X (18979, 0.4% delta). The deltas are minimal, indicating that the Core 3 201E trades blows with these established parts rather than dominating them. The Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark presence in the database, so it cannot be positioned against the Intel part on measured terms. The choice between the two comes down to platform and efficiency preferences: the Ryzen 3 5305GE offers a 35 W TDP, an unlocked multiplier, and a 7 nm process, while the Intel Core 3 201E offers a 60 W TDP, ECC memory support, PCIe Gen 5, and higher recorded throughput. For users who prioritize verified multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, the Intel part is the one with data to support it. For users who prioritize lower power draw and overclocking headroom, the AMD part is the specification-based pick. The Intel Core 3 201E has a launch MSRP of $134.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no entries in the head-to-head benchmark table, all measured comparisons must rely on the Intel Core 3 201E's absolute scores and its nearest rival deltas. The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12613 demonstrates strong sustained throughput for a 4-core, 8-thread processor. Its single-core score of 1780 in the same test reflects a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, which is 0.60 GHz higher than the Ryzen 3 5305GE's 4.20 GHz boost. In Cinebench R20, the Intel part scores 5297 multi-core and 747 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1271 multi-core and 179 single-core. These three Cinebench generations show consistent scaling across the Intel part's performance profile.

PassMark results add further detail. The single-thread score of 3482 and multithread score of 14839 indicate that the Intel part scales roughly 4.3 times from single to multi-threaded workloads, which is reasonable for 4 cores with 8 threads. Integer math at 43894 and floating point math at 33260 show a strong integer advantage, while extended instructions at 11035 cover SIMD-heavy tasks. Data compression at 164160 is notably high, suggesting efficient cache usage. The Intel part has 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB of L2 per core, along with 80 KB of L1 per core. These cache sizes contribute to the compression and sorting scores. Random string sorting at 17783 and prime number finding at 57 are more moderate results. Data encryption at 8931 reflects the AES-NI capabilities typical of modern Intel cores.

The nearest rival comparisons put these scores in context. Against the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, the Intel Core 3 201E's average score of 19056 is essentially tied at 0% delta (19047 vs 19056). Against the Intel Core i5-12400F, the delta is 0.1% in favor of the Core 3 201E (19039 vs 19056). Against the Intel Core i5-1335U, the delta is 0.4% (18982 vs 19056). Against the AMD EPYC 7773X, the delta is 0.4% (18979 vs 19056). These small margins mean the Core 3 201E is not a clear winner in any of these matchups; it is merely at parity or slightly ahead. The Ryzen 3 5305GE has no such comparisons because it has no benchmark data. The biggest measured wins for the Intel part are its absolute Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12613 and PassMark multithread score of 14839, both of which indicate solid 4-core performance. The Ryzen 3 5305GE cannot be assessed in the same way, as the database lacks any scores for it.
