AMD Ryzen 3 8300G vs AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database shows a clear split between these two AMD processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS wins 13 of the 17 recorded head-to-head tests, including every Cinebench iteration and most Passmark workloads. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G counters with 4 wins, but those wins are concentrated in specific tasks: extended instructions, random string sorting, and single-thread performance.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS is the better choice for multi-threaded productivity, integer math, encryption, and physics workloads. Its 6 cores and 12 threads give it a structural advantage over the 4-core, 8-thread Ryzen 3 8300G. The data shows a 20.2% lead in Passmark integer math (50800 vs 40534) and a 15% lead in data encryption (10718 vs 9115). These are substantial margins for CPU-bound tasks.

The Ryzen 3 8300G, however, holds a commanding 37.9% advantage in Passmark single-thread scoring (3778 vs 2740). That result is notable because the 8300G has a higher boost clock (4.90 GHz vs 4.40 GHz) despite being built on an older generation architecture. It also wins Passmark extended instructions by 10.1% (12354 vs 11219) and random string sorting by 7.6% (19013 vs 17669).

For a desktop user prioritizing raw single-core responsiveness and instruction-heavy workloads, the Ryzen 3 8300G delivers. For a mobile user needing sustained multi-core throughput, the Ryzen 5 7533HS is the stronger performer. The average benchmark score confirms this: the 7533HS sits at 19364 versus 18169 for the 8300G, placing it in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs versus the 72nd percentile for the 8300G.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural generations within AMD's lineup. The Ryzen 3 8300G uses Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm TSMC process node. The Ryzen 5 7533HS uses Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename, built on a 6 nm TSMC process node.

The process node difference is significant. The 4 nm node allows the 8300G to pack 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die. The 7533HS, using the older 6 nm process, has no recorded transistor count but occupies a larger 208 mm² die. This die size difference reflects the older manufacturing technology and the different core configurations.

Core counts differ structurally. The 8300G has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads. Both use 64 KB of L1 cache per core, but L2 cache differs: 1 MB per core for the 8300G versus 512 KB per core for the 7533HS. The L3 cache also differs: 8 MB shared for the 8300G versus 16 MB shared for the 7533HS.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The 8300G includes Radeon 740M graphics, while the 7533HS includes Radeon 660M. Both processors support DDR5 memory with dual-channel buses, but memory bandwidth differs: 83.2 GB/s for the 8300G versus 76.8 GB/s for the 7533HS.

The 8300G is a desktop part on AMD Socket AM5, while the 7533HS is a mobile part on AMD Socket FP7. The PCIe configuration also differs: the 8300G offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the 7533HS offers Gen 4 with 20 lanes (CPU only).

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench suite shows a consistent, though narrow, advantage for the Ryzen 5 7533HS. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the 7533HS scores 1243 versus 1231 for the 8300G, a 1% difference. Single-core R15 results are similarly close: 175 versus 173, a 1.1% margin.

Cinebench R20 repeats the pattern. Multi-core scores are 5183 for the 7533HS and 5131 for the 8300G, again a 1% gap. Single-core R20 shows 731 versus 724, also a 1% margin. Cinebench R23 multi-core delivers 12342 versus 12217, and single-core R23 delivers 1742 versus 1724. The 7533HS wins every Cinebench test, but the margins are small, never exceeding 1.1%.

The Passmark suite reveals larger swings. The most lopsided result is Passmark single-thread, where the 8300G scores 3778 versus 2740 for the 7533HS, a 37.9% advantage. This result appears twice in the database (under both "single_thread" and "singlethread" test names), confirming the measurement.

The 8300G also wins Passmark extended instructions by 10.1% (12354 versus 11219) and Passmark random string sorting by 7.6% (19013 versus 17669). These wins indicate the 8300G handles specialized instruction sets and string manipulation tasks more efficiently, likely due to its newer Zen 4 architecture and higher boost clock.

The 7533HS dominates the remaining Passmark tests. The largest margin is in integer math: 50800 versus 40534, a 20.2% advantage. Data encryption shows a 15% gap (10718 versus 9115). Floating point math favors the 7533HS by 8.9% (27800 versus 25336). Physics shows an 8% gap (821 versus 755). Data compression delivers a 5.8% edge (168692 versus 158952). Multithread performance is 3.5% higher (14520 versus 14018), and find prime numbers shows a 2.1% margin (48 versus 47).

The overall win count is decisive: 13 wins for the 7533HS versus 4 for the 8300G. However, the single-thread and extended instruction wins for the 8300G are large enough to matter for specific workloads. The average benchmark scores reflect this split: the 7533HS averages 19364, while the 8300G averages 18169, a difference of roughly 6.6%.

The nearest rivals in the database provide context. The 8300G sits within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and Intel Core i7-1365U, and within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-1334U. The 7533HS matches the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, sits 0.2% behind the Intel Core i5-1345U, and 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i7-8700K. These proximity scores confirm that both processors are competitive in their respective segments, with the 7533HS holding a slightly higher overall position in the database.
