AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE vs Intel Core 7 350 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE and Intel Core 7 350 occupy different segments, as the recorded data confirms. The Ryzen 3 5305GE is a desktop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, a base clock of 3.60 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The Intel Core 7 350 is a mobile processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, a base clock of 1.50 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The database includes a full benchmark suite for the Intel part, while the AMD part has no recorded scores, so the analysis relies on the Intel measurements and the architectural data for both.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no recorded benchmark entries, while the Intel Core 7 350 has a comprehensive set of scores. As such, a direct comparison of measured performance is impossible from the available data. The Intel Core 7 350's scores stand alone, and its nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance tier.

The Intel Core 7 350 delivers a multicore score of 8030 in Cinebench R23. This places it in a competitive position among mobile processors. Its single-core score in the same test is 2046, which indicates strong per-thread performance. In Cinebench R20, the multicore score is 5373, and the single-core score is 758. The older Cinebench R15 test shows a multicore score of 1220 and a single-core score of 292.

PassMark results further characterize the Intel part. The single-thread score is 4100, which is notable for a processor with a base clock of 1.50 GHz. The multithread score is 15170. In specific workloads, the data shows a data compression score of 143123, data encryption of 10933, and extended instructions of 12045. Floating point math scores 42809, integer math scores 33734, and find prime numbers scores 107. Random string sorting scores 17238, and physics scores 1173.

The Intel Core 7 350's average benchmark score is 17779, and it holds a percentile rank of 71 among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core 5 221TE with an average score of 17860, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD EPYC 9374F scores 17693, which is 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17891, which is 0.6% higher. The Intel Core 5 120U scores 17898, which is 0.7% higher. These deltas are small, indicating that the Intel Core 7 350 sits in a tight performance cluster.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE, the lack of benchmark data means no wins can be recorded. The head-to-head wins counter shows zero for both processors, confirming that no comparative tests exist in the database. The Intel Core 7 350's scores, while plentiful, cannot be measured against the AMD part directly.

The Verdict

From the data, the Intel Core 7 350 is the only processor with measurable performance. Its average benchmark score of 17779 and 71st percentile rank demonstrate a capable mobile processor. The nearest rival deltas, all within 0.7%, show that it performs on par with several established desktop and mobile parts, including the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT and Intel Core 5 120U. The single-thread score of 4100 is particularly strong, given the 15 W TDP and 1.50 GHz base clock.

The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE offers a different set of attributes. It uses a 35 W TDP, a desktop socket (AMD Socket AM4), and a 7 nm process node. It has 4 cores and 8 threads, which suggests simultaneous multithreading, unlike the Intel part's 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD processor's boost clock is lower at 4.20 GHz, and its memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

For a user choosing between these two, the data supports the Intel Core 7 350 for anyone needing verified performance numbers. The recorded benchmarks cover multi-core, single-core, and specialized workloads. The AMD Ryzen 3 5305GE has no such validation in the database, so its performance is unknown. The Intel part also offers a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz and a smaller 3 nm process node, which typically indicates better power efficiency. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $469, stated once as a reference point.

The AMD part may appeal to those requiring a desktop form factor with an AM4 socket and a 35 W TDP. It supports DDR4 memory, which is older but widely available. The Radeon Vega 6 integrated graphics is present, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. These factors are qualitative and do not involve performance scores.
