AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a total of 17 benchmark results for the Intel Core 3 305, while the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark entries in the database. The Intel processor therefore claims every available benchmark win by default, as there are no competing scores to compare against the Ryzen part. The Intel Core 3 305 posts an average benchmark score of 18302, placing it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0 due to the absence of test data.

The Intel Core 3 305 demonstrates its strongest performance in multi-core workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13123 indicates substantial parallel processing capability, supported by a Cinebench R20 multicore result of 5511 and a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1322. These figures point toward a processor that handles heavily threaded tasks with considerable efficiency.

In single-threaded operations, the Intel Core 3 305 shows similarly strong results. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1852, Cinebench R20 single-core score of 777, and Cinebench R15 single-core score of 186 all reflect solid per-core performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 3977 reinforces this pattern, suggesting that the processor maintains high clock speeds under light loads.

Memory-intensive operations reveal another area of strength. The PassMark data compression score of 146857 and data encryption score of 11019 indicate that the processor handles data transformation tasks effectively. The PassMark random string sorting score of 17623 further supports this interpretation, as sorting algorithms are particularly sensitive to memory latency and bandwidth.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and the Intel Core 3 305. The winsA and winsB fields are both 0, and the headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty. This means there are no direct comparison scores available for these two processors.

However, the Intel Core 3 305 has a complete set of 17 individual benchmark scores. The most notable results are the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13123 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1852. The multicore score is roughly seven times the single-core score, which is expected given the processor's 6-core, 6-thread configuration.

The PassMark suite provides additional context. The integer math score of 32295 and floating point math score of 42284 show balanced arithmetic performance. The extended instructions score of 13543 indicates solid SIMD capability. The find prime numbers score of 115 is notably low, which may reflect the benchmark's sensitivity to certain instruction patterns.

The multithread score of 15439 and physics score of 1233 both point toward reasonable parallel performance, while the single-thread score of 3977 confirms strong per-core capability. The average benchmark score of 18302 places the Intel Core 3 305 within a tight cluster of similarly performing CPUs, as shown by its nearest rivals being within 0.4 percent of its score.

Specification Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and Intel Core 3 305 differ across nearly every specification field. The Ryzen part uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 1516, meaning the two are physically incompatible with each other's platforms. The Ryzen processor has a TDP of 35 watts, while the Intel processor has a TDP of 15 watts, indicating the Intel part is designed for lower power envelopes.

The core configurations differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel processor provides 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD part therefore supports simultaneous multithreading but has fewer physical cores. The clock speeds also diverge: the Ryzen 3 5305GE runs at 3.60 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost, while the Intel Core 3 305 runs at 1.50 GHz base and 4.30 GHz boost. The Intel part has a much lower base clock but a slightly higher boost clock.

Memory support differs by generation and channel configuration. The AMD processor uses DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel processor uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. Despite having fewer channels, the Intel part achieves higher theoretical memory bandwidth due to the newer memory standard.

The PCIe configurations also differ. The AMD processor provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part supports a newer PCIe generation but with fewer available lanes.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and use fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE belongs to the 5000 series and uses the Zen 3 architecture under the codename Cezanne. The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 3 generation.

The manufacturing processes differ significantly. The AMD processor is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel processor is built on a 3 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size listed in the database. The Intel part uses a notably more advanced manufacturing node.

Cache hierarchies show structural differences. The AMD processor has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor has 192 KB of total L1 cache, 2.5 MB of total L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part provides more L2 cache per core and a larger L3 cache overall, while the Intel part provides more total L1 cache.

The integrated graphics differ between the two parts. The AMD processor includes Radeon Vega 6 graphics, while the Intel processor includes Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe core. The market segments also differ: the AMD processor is listed as Desktop, while the Intel processor is listed as Mobile.

The multiplier status differs as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has an unlocked multiplier, meaning overclocking is possible on supported motherboards. The Intel Core 3 305 has a locked multiplier, preventing user overclocking.

The Verdict

The data presents an unusual comparison because the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark scores in the database while the Intel Core 3 305 has a full set of 17 results. Any performance conclusion must therefore rest entirely on the Intel processor's recorded measurements.

The Intel Core 3 305 shows strong all-around performance. Its average benchmark score of 18302 places it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.4 percent of its score. The processor's 6 cores and 6 threads handle multi-threaded workloads effectively, as shown by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13123. Its single-thread performance is equally solid, with a PassMark single-thread score of 3977 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1852.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE offers a different specification profile. It provides 8 threads from 4 cores, which can benefit workloads that scale well with simultaneous multithreading. Its dual-channel DDR4 memory support and 8 MB of L3 cache are notable architectural advantages. The unlocked multiplier also provides flexibility for users who wish to adjust clock speeds, though the database contains no benchmark data to quantify the resulting performance.

The Intel Core 3 305 carries a launch MSRP of $309. Its 15 watt TDP makes it suitable for mobile and low-power applications, while its 3 nm process node from Intel represents a newer manufacturing generation than the AMD part's 7 nm node from TSMC.

For users seeking a processor with verified benchmark results, the Intel Core 3 305 is the only option with recorded data. Its performance profile shows a balanced combination of multi-core and single-core capability, with memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s supporting data-intensive tasks. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE remains an unquantified alternative in the database, with specifications that suggest competitive capabilities but no measured scores to confirm them.

The database records no head-to-head benchmarks between these two processors, so a direct performance comparison cannot be made from available data. The Intel Core 3 305's complete benchmark set and higher percentile ranking provide the only measurable basis for evaluation. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE's 50th percentile placement reflects its lack of benchmark entries rather than its actual performance potential.
