AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core 7 251TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and the Intel Core 7 251TE. No recorded scores exist for the AMD processor, meaning a direct comparison of measured performance in the same test is impossible. The Intel part, however, has a complete suite of benchmark results, which establishes a reference point for its performance class.

For the Intel Core 7 251TE, the recorded data shows a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,518 and a single-core score of 3,602. In Cinebench R20, it scores 10,717 multi-core and 1,512 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 test yields 2,572 multi-core and 362 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 30,022, a single-thread score of 3,568, integer math at 125,739, floating-point math at 85,607, and extended instructions at 16,974. Data compression scores 334,399, and data encryption scores 22,176.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark entries in the database. Its average benchmark score is zero, and it holds a 50th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel Core 7 251TE, by contrast, sits at the 88th percentile with an average benchmark score of 41,650. This percentile gap indicates that the Intel processor is positioned substantially higher in the overall performance distribution, though direct test-by-test confirmation with the AMD part is absent.

Since the head-to-head field is empty, the wins count for both processors is zero. The available data only allows for a one-sided analysis: the Intel part's measured scores stand alone, while the AMD part's capabilities must be inferred from its specifications rather than from benchmark outcomes.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 251TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a 215 mm² die size.

The core topology diverges significantly. The AMD part is a 4-core, 8-thread design with a uniform set of full-performance cores. The Intel part is a 24-core, 32-thread design, which implies a hybrid arrangement of performance and efficiency cores, though the database does not specify the exact mix. This structural difference explains why the Intel processor can handle far more concurrent threads.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Core 7 251TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 and L2 caches on the Intel side, combined with a 28 MB larger L3 pool, give it a substantial on-die data advantage for workloads that exhibit cache locality.

Memory support reflects generation gaps. The AMD part is limited to DDR4, with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. That is a 38.4 GB/s difference in theoretical peak memory bandwidth.

PCIe capabilities differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core 7 251TE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel processor offers a newer generation of the interface, providing more bandwidth per lane for compatible devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part includes Radeon Vega 6 graphics. The Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. Neither part is a discrete-class solution, but they provide basic display output capabilities.

The base clocks are notable. The AMD part runs at 3.60 GHz base, while the Intel part sits lower at 1.40 GHz base. The Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz is much higher, suggesting a wide dynamic range between idle and peak operation.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear performance hierarchy. The Intel Core 7 251TE sits at the 88th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 41,650. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmarks and an average score of zero. For any workload that scales with core count or thread count, the Intel part is the obvious choice: 24 cores and 32 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads is a 6x core advantage and a 4x thread advantage.

Single-thread performance also favors the Intel part based on its recorded scores. A Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,602 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3,568 indicate strong per-core capability. The AMD part has no comparable numbers, so the only inference is that its boost clock of 4.20 GHz is lower than the Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz, which suggests a likely deficit in peak single-thread speed.

The AMD part does have advantages in specific areas. Its 35 W TDP is lower than the 45 W TDP of the Intel part, making it a more power-efficient choice for constrained thermal environments. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz is higher, which can help in lightly threaded workloads where sustained low-frequency operation matters. It also has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. The AMD processor uses PCIe Gen 3, which is older but sufficient for many desktop peripherals.

For memory, the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part only supports DDR4. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. These features matter in workstation or server-adjacent scenarios where data integrity is critical.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: the Intel Core 7 251TE is the stronger processor for almost any compute-heavy task, based on its measured benchmark scores and superior thread count. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE is a lower-power, lower-core-count part with no recorded performance data, making it a more specialized option for low-power or highly parallel-light workloads where its higher base clock and unlocked multiplier could be leveraged.

Where Each One Wins

Intel Core 7 251TE wins in: Multi-core throughput. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 25,518, the R20 score of 10,717, and the PassMark multi-thread score of 30,022 all demonstrate strong scaling across its 24 cores and 32 threads. Workloads such as video encoding, 3D rendering, scientific computing, and software compilation would benefit from this core count. The 36 MB shared L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth provide the data throughput needed to feed those cores. The support for DDR5 and ECC memory further extends its suitability for memory-sensitive and error-tolerant tasks. PCIe Gen 5 support future-proofs storage and GPU connections.

AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE wins in: Power efficiency and overclocking flexibility. Its 35 W TDP is 10 W lower than the Intel part's 45 W TDP, which matters for small form factor builds or systems with limited cooling. The higher base clock of 3.60 GHz can be beneficial for lightly threaded tasks that do not reach boost states. The unlocked multiplier allows manual tuning to extract additional performance, provided the user has adequate cooling. Its 7 nm TSMC process node is denser than the Intel 10 nm node, which contributes to the lower power draw. The 4-core, 8-thread configuration is sufficient for basic desktop tasks, web browsing, and office applications.

The data shows no recorded benchmarks for the AMD part, so its wins are inferred from specifications rather than measured outcomes. The Intel part has actual scores to back its dominance. For any user prioritizing raw throughput, the Intel Core 7 251TE is the validated choice. For a user building a low-power system that does not need heavy multi-threading, the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE offers a lower TDP and overclocking headroom, though its performance ceiling remains unverified in the database.
