AMD Ryzen 3 7335U vs AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 3 7335U and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G are both 4-core, 8-thread processors, but they are engineered for different segments. The database shows the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G winning 14 of 17 direct benchmark comparisons, with a clear performance advantage in most CPU-heavy tasks. However, the Ryzen 3 7335U holds notable wins in specific workloads, making the choice between them dependent on the intended use case.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data splits these processors into two distinct profiles. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the dominant performer in rendering, general processing, and single-threaded tasks. It wins all six Cinebench tests, including a 13.4% lead in both Cinebench R23 multi-core (12359 vs. 10703) and single-core (1744 vs. 1511). It also leads in PassMark multi-thread (13368 vs. 12592, a 5.8% gap) and single-thread (3550 vs. 3053, a 14% gap). The desktop chip is clearly the stronger all-rounder.

The AMD Ryzen 3 7335U, despite being a mobile part, wins three benchmark categories. Its most significant victory is in PassMark integer math, scoring 42493 against the PRO 8300G's 37292, a 13.9% advantage. It also leads in floating-point math (24298 vs. 23374, a 4% gap) and data encryption (9335 vs. 8607, an 8.5% gap). These wins point toward workloads involving heavy integer arithmetic, scientific calculations, or cryptographic operations, where the 7335U's architecture appears to excel.

The PRO 8300G also demonstrates superiority in memory-sensitive tasks, winning PassMark random string sorting by 22% (19703 vs. 15361) and find prime numbers by 23.4% (47 vs. 36). The mobile chip's wins are narrow in floating-point but substantial in integer and encryption, suggesting a niche strength in specific computation patterns rather than general throughput.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design generations. The Ryzen 3 7335U is based on Zen 3+ architecture (codenamed Rembrandt-R), while the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses Zen 4 (codenamed Phoenix2). This generational gap explains much of the performance delta. The PRO 8300G is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, compared to the 6 nm process for the 7335U. The smaller process node allows for higher clock speeds and improved efficiency.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The 7335U has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The PRO 8300G starts at 3.40 GHz and boosts to 4.90 GHz. This 0.60 GHz boost advantage directly contributes to its single-threaded dominance. The PRO 8300G has a 65 W TDP versus 28 W for the 7335U, reflecting its desktop orientation with more thermal headroom.

Cache configurations also differ. Both have 64 KB L1 per core and 8 MB shared L3, but the L2 cache is doubled on the PRO 8300G: 1 MB per core versus 512 KB per core on the 7335U. The PRO 8300G's die size is 137 mm² with 20,900 million transistors, while the 7335U has a 208 mm² die. The PRO 8300G also supports higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s compared to 76.8 GB/s for the 7335U. Both support DDR5 and ECC memory.

The platforms differ as well. The 7335U uses AMD Socket FP7 and is a mobile processor, while the PRO 8300G uses AMD Socket AM5 and targets desktops. PCIe lane counts differ: the 7335U offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes, while the PRO 8300G provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes. Integrated graphics are also different: the 7335U has Radeon 660M, while the PRO 8300G has Radeon 740M. The release dates are over a year apart, with the 7335U launching in January 2023 and the PRO 8300G in April 2024.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results are uniformly in favor of the PRO 8300G. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the PRO 8300G scores 1245 versus 1078 for the 7335U, a 13.4% margin. The single-core R15 test shows a similar pattern: 175 versus 152, a 13.1% gap. Moving to R20, the multi-core score is 5190 against 4495, and the single-core score is 732 against 634, both 13.4% differences. The R23 results repeat this pattern: multi-core 12359 vs. 10703 and single-core 1744 vs. 1511, with the same 13.4% delta. This consistency across Cinebench versions indicates a stable architectural advantage, not a workload-specific anomaly.

The PassMark suite reveals a more nuanced picture. The PRO 8300G wins multi-thread (13368 vs. 12592) and single-thread (3550 vs. 3053), but the margin in single-thread is 14%, larger than the multi-thread 5.8% gap. This suggests the PRO 8300G's clock speed advantage matters more in lightly threaded scenarios. In data compression, the PRO 8300G wins narrowly by 2.8% (150567 vs. 146309). Extended instructions also favor the PRO 8300G by 9.9% (11451 vs. 10314).

The 7335U's wins are concentrated in arithmetic and cryptography. Its integer math score of 42493 is 13.9% higher than the PRO 8300G's 37292, a substantial reversal. Floating-point math shows a smaller 4% lead (24298 vs. 23374). Data encryption is the clearest victory: 9335 vs. 8607, an 8.5% margin. These results indicate the 7335U's Zen 3+ architecture handles certain computational patterns more efficiently than the newer Zen 4 design, despite the latter's overall clock advantage.

The PRO 8300G dominates in two other PassMark tests. Random string sorting shows a 22% lead (19703 vs. 15361), and find prime numbers shows a 23.4% lead (47 vs. 36). Physics simulation also favors the PRO 8300G by 16.2% (772 vs. 647). These are not marginal differences; they represent significant performance gaps in memory access patterns and algorithmic workloads.

The Verdict

The data is clear: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the faster processor in the vast majority of workloads. It wins 14 of 17 direct benchmarks, including all Cinebench tests and both PassMark single-thread and multi-thread scores. Its 13.4% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core (12359 vs. 10703) and 14% lead in PassMark single-thread (3550 vs. 3053) make it the better choice for rendering, general productivity, and applications that rely on high clock speeds. The desktop platform with 65 W TDP and AM5 socket also suggests it can sustain these performance levels in a fixed installation.

The AMD Ryzen 3 7335U is not without merit. Its wins in integer math (13.9% ahead), floating-point math (4% ahead), and data encryption (8.5% ahead) show that it handles specific computation types more efficiently. For workloads involving integer-heavy calculations, scientific simulation, or encryption, the 7335U may deliver better results despite its lower overall scores. Its 28 W TDP also indicates a power-efficient design suitable for mobile systems, though the benchmark data does not quantify energy consumption. The 7335U's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-12100E (0.2% behind) and the AMD Ryzen 5 7235HS (0.4% ahead), placing it in a competitive mid-range bracket.

The PRO 8300G's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-12450H (0.2% ahead) and the AMD Ryzen 3 210 (0.2% behind), showing it sits at the edge of a higher performance tier. Users seeking maximum throughput in multi-core and single-threaded applications should select the PRO 8300G. Users with workloads that emphasize integer arithmetic or encryption should consider the 7335U, as its benchmark profile suggests a specialized strength that the desktop chip does not match. The final choice depends on whether the user prioritizes broad general performance or specific computational patterns.
