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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and the Intel Core 7 253PTE. The recorded data shows the Intel part with a substantial set of 17 benchmark scores, while the AMD part has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. Consequently, the comparison relies on the Intel Core 7 253PTE's absolute scores and its position relative to other processors in the database.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21276 and a single-core score of 3003. Its Cinebench R20 results are 8935 multi-core and 1261 single-core, while Cinebench R15 shows 2144 multi-core and 302 single-core. In PassMark tests, the Intel part records 25031 for multithread, 3794 for single-thread, 275828 for data compression, 15500 for data encryption, 17099 for extended instructions, and 119552 for integer math. Floating point math reaches 67209, find prime numbers scores 82, physics scores 1318, and random string sorting scores 28227.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE holds an average benchmark score of 34962, placing it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13800H with an average score of 34988, a delta of -0.1%, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35003, also -0.1%. The Intel Xeon 6349P scores 34890 with a delta of 0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 150 scores 34881 with a delta of 0.2%. These deltas indicate the Core 7 253PTE sits within a tight performance cluster, effectively matching those four processors within a fraction of a percent.

Since the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no benchmark scores recorded, the database offers no direct measurement of its performance against the Intel part. The Intel Core 7 253PTE's scores stand alone in the comparison, with its multi-core Cinebench R23 result of 21276 representing the strongest recorded throughput figure in this matchup.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process, and provides 10 cores and 20 threads. Its base clock is 1.80 GHz and boost clock is 5.40 GHz.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 8 MB total L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3. The Intel processor's larger L3 cache, combined with its higher thread count, supports heavier multi-threaded workloads.

Memory support diverges: the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE supports DDR4 only, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The Intel part's memory bandwidth is 89.6 GB/s, compared to 51.2 GB/s for the AMD part. The Intel processor also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part uses Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, and the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ by vendor. The AMD part includes Radeon Vega 6, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 730. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, whereas the Intel processor is locked. The AMD part targets the desktop segment with an AM4 socket, and the Intel part also targets desktop with an LGA 1700 socket. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part's launch MSRP is not recorded in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE's 10 cores and 20 threads, combined with 33 MB of L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, make it the clear choice for multi-threaded compute tasks such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21276 and PassMark multithread score of 25031 reflect strong parallel throughput, and its 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms broad competitiveness.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE, with 4 cores and 8 threads, a 3.60 GHz base clock, and a 4.20 GHz boost clock, targets lighter workloads. Its 35 W TDP, versus the Intel part's 45 W TDP, indicates lower power draw. The AMD part's 7 nm process node suggests improved power efficiency relative to the Intel part's 10 nm node. For single-threaded responsiveness, the Intel part's 5.40 GHz boost clock and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3003 indicate strong per-thread performance, but the AMD part's higher base clock of 3.60 GHz versus 1.80 GHz suggests it may deliver more consistent low-load responsiveness without relying on boost behavior.

The Intel part's ECC memory support and DDR5 compatibility position it for workstation or server-adjacent use cases where memory reliability and bandwidth matter. The AMD part's unlocked multiplier offers overclocking flexibility, and its smaller 8 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient for typical desktop productivity and light gaming. The Intel part's 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes provide higher-bandwidth connectivity for modern GPUs and NVMe storage, while the AMD part's PCIe Gen 3 lanes are older but still functional for mainstream components.

The Verdict

The data in the database shows a clear split based on workload type. The Intel Core 7 253PTE offers 10 cores, 20 threads, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, 33 MB of L3 cache, DDR5 support, ECC memory, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Its recorded benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21276 and a PassMark multithread score of 25031, place it at the 84th percentile among all CPUs. This processor is suited for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and memory-intensive workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE provides 4 cores, 8 threads, a 35 W TDP, a 7 nm process node, and an unlocked multiplier. Its higher base clock of 3.60 GHz and lower power envelope make it appropriate for efficient light-duty desktop use, though the database contains no benchmark scores for it to quantify its performance. The Intel part's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and 33 MB L3 cache dwarf the AMD part's 51.2 GB/s and 8 MB L3, respectively.

For users prioritizing raw multi-core throughput, memory bandwidth, ECC support, and modern PCIe connectivity, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the stronger option based on its recorded scores. For users prioritizing lower power consumption, overclocking flexibility, and a smaller footprint, the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE fits that profile, but its actual benchmark performance is not recorded in the database. The Intel part's launch MSRP of $384 provides a reference point, though the AMD part's price is not listed. The verdict from the recorded data favors the Intel Core 7 253PTE in measurable performance, while the AMD part's advantages are architectural rather than benchmarked.
