AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core 7 253PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data for these two processors is heavily one-sided. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core 7 253PE has a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. The Intel part delivers a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 24880 points and a single-core score of 3512 points. Its PassMark multithread score reaches 29271, with a single-thread score of 3955. The AMD processor does not show any comparable measurements, so the data confirms that the Intel Core 7 253PE is the only part in this comparison with verified performance output.

The Intel Core 7 253PE also reaches an average benchmark score of 40557, placing it at the 87th percentile of all CPUs in the database. In contrast, the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE holds a 50th percentile ranking with an average benchmark score of zero, meaning no performance data has been recorded for it. When comparing the Intel part to its nearest rivals in the database, the data shows a tight cluster: the Intel Core 5 223PE scores 40585 (a delta of -0.1% relative to the Core 7 253PE), the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H scores 40518 (a delta of 0.1%), the Intel Xeon 6357P scores 40630 (a delta of -0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431 (a delta of 0.3%). The Intel Core 7 253PE essentially matches these competitors within a fraction of a percent, confirming its position as a mid-to-high-range desktop part.

The absence of any head-to-head benchmark entries means the database offers no direct comparison scores between the two processors. The only measurable wins belong to the Intel Core 7 253PE, which demonstrates strong multi-threaded and single-threaded results across all recorded tests. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE remains unmeasured, so any attempt to quantify its performance relative to the Intel part would lack supporting data.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture on a 7 nm process node, manufactured by TSMC. Its codename is Cezanne, and it belongs to the 5000 series. The chip integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. It features 4 cores with 8 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The thermal design power is 35 watts, and it runs on AMD Socket AM4. Cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. Memory support is limited to DDR4 with dual-channel operation and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. It does not support ECC memory. The integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 6, and the PCIe interface is Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The multiplier is unlocked.

The Intel Core 7 253PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with a 10 nm process node, manufactured by Intel. It has 10 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The thermal design power is 65 watts, and it fits Intel Socket 1700. Cache includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support covers both DDR4 and DDR5, running dual-channel with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. It does support ECC memory. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730, and the PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The multiplier is locked. The database does not list a transistor count or die size for this part.

The architectural gap is substantial. The AMD part relies on an older, smaller process node, a lower core count, and slower memory bandwidth. The Intel part uses a newer node, more than double the cores and threads, a significantly higher boost clock, and faster memory support. The difference in L3 cache is also pronounced: 33 MB shared on the Intel versus 8 MB on the AMD. These architectural disparities explain the absence of measured performance data for the AMD chip, as its design targets a lower-power, entry-level segment.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the database, the Intel Core 7 253PE wins every category where data exists. Its multi-core performance, shown by a Cinebench R23 score of 24880 and a PassMark multithread score of 29271, indicates strong capability for heavily threaded workloads such as rendering, encoding, and simulation. The single-core results, with a Cinebench R23 score of 3512 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3955, show solid responsiveness for everyday tasks and lightly threaded applications. Data compression (339133 in PassMark) and encryption (18385) scores further support its suitability for productivity and data-handling workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no recorded wins in any benchmark category. Its specifications point to a low-power design: 35 watt TDP, 4 cores, and a 4.20 GHz boost clock. This suggests it could serve in power-constrained or compact desktop builds, but the database contains no measurements to confirm its performance level. The Intel part, with its 65 watt TDP and 10 cores, delivers far more compute throughput in every measured test, so the use-case split is clear: the Intel processor is for users who need verified multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, while the AMD processor remains an unverified entry-level option.

The Verdict

The database is unambiguous: the Intel Core 7 253PE is the only processor in this comparison with measured performance data, and that data is strong. Its 24880 score in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3512 in single-core place it well above the median CPU, as confirmed by its 87th percentile ranking. The 10-core, 20-thread configuration, combined with a 5.50 GHz boost clock and 33 MB of shared L3 cache, delivers verified results across all benchmark categories. The ECC memory support and DDR5 compatibility further extend its range into workstation or reliability-focused scenarios.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE lacks any recorded benchmark entries, so its actual performance cannot be assessed from the database. Its specifications indicate a low-power, entry-level desktop chip: 35 watt TDP, 4 cores, and a 4.20 GHz boost clock. That design might suit minimal or thermally constrained systems, but no data supports any performance claim. The Intel part, with a launch MSRP of $384, is the clear choice for any workload where measured multi-threaded throughput or single-thread responsiveness is required. The AMD part remains an unverified option with no demonstrated advantage in any recorded metric.
