AMD Ryzen 3 8300G vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G and the Intel Core 5 223PQE. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both processors are zero. This means the two CPUs have not been tested in the same workload sessions within the database, so a direct per-test score comparison is not possible.

What the database does provide is a full benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G. In Cinebench R15, the Ryzen 3 8300G scores 1231 points in multi-core and 173 points in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it records 5131 multi-core and 724 single-core. The Cinebench R23 results show 12217 multi-core and 1724 single-core. Passmark results for the Ryzen 3 8300G include 158952 in data compression, 9115 in data encryption, 12354 in extended instructions, 47 in find prime numbers, 25336 in floating point math, 40534 in integer math, 14018 in multithread, 755 in physics, 19013 in random string sorting, and 3778 in single-thread (listed twice in the database under two similar test names).

The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Ryzen 3 8300G, by contrast, holds a percentile of 72 and an average benchmark score of 18169. The absence of any Intel Core 5 223PQE benchmark data means the database cannot currently establish which processor wins in any specific test. The only comparative signal comes from the Ryzen 3 8300G's nearest rivals, which are all Intel or AMD parts with similar average scores: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U at 18176 (0% delta), the Intel Core i7-1365U at 18177 (0% delta), the Intel Core i7-9700 at 18180 (-0.1% delta), and the Intel Core i5-1334U at 18154 (0.1% delta). These deltas are negligible, placing the Ryzen 3 8300G within a tight performance cluster around the 18150 to 18180 average score range.

Because the Intel Core 5 223PQE lacks any recorded measurements, all head-to-head statements must remain qualitative. The Ryzen 3 8300G delivers a complete set of multi-threaded and single-threaded scores, while the Intel part offers none. Until the database populates benchmark entries for the Core 5 223PQE, the comparison rests on architectural and specification differences rather than measured performance outcomes.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Phoenix2, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 3 generation with the Zen 4 (Phoenix) label. The die contains 20,900 million transistors across a 137 mm² area. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. It belongs to the Core 5 generation with the Bartlett Lake label. The database does not list a transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

The core configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen 3 8300G has 4 cores and 8 threads. The Core 5 223PQE has 8 cores and 16 threads, doubling both core and thread counts. Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Ryzen 3 8300G has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. The Core 5 223PQE has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. The Intel part carries three times the shared L3 capacity and double the per-core L2.

The integrated graphics solutions differ. The Ryzen 3 8300G uses the Radeon 740M, while the Core 5 223PQE uses the UHD Graphics 770. Memory support also differs: the Ryzen 3 8300G supports only DDR5, while the Core 5 223PQE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The Ryzen 3 8300G records a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and the Core 5 223PQE records 89.6 GB/s.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The Ryzen 3 8300G provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU. The Core 5 223PQE provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation and two additional lanes.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across multiple specification fields. Clock speeds are one area: the Ryzen 3 8300G has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, while the Core 5 223PQE has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. The Intel part runs higher at both ends of the clock range.

Thermal design power also differs. The Ryzen 3 8300G is rated at 65 W TDP, and the Core 5 223PQE is rated at 125 W TDP. The sockets are incompatible: the Ryzen 3 8300G uses AMD Socket AM5, and the Core 5 223PQE uses Intel Socket 1700.

The process node and foundry differ. The Ryzen 3 8300G uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Core 5 223PQE uses a 10 nm process from Intel. Release dates also differ: the Ryzen 3 8300G was released on 2024-01-07, and the Core 5 223PQE was released on 2026-03-08. The part numbers are 100-000001492 for the AMD chip and SA4QC for the Intel chip.

The core and thread counts differ, as covered above. The cache sizes differ across all three levels. The memory support differs in terms of DDR4 versus DDR5-only support. The memory bandwidth differs by 6.4 GB/s. The PCIe generation and lane count differ. The integrated graphics models differ. The launch MSRP differs, with the AMD part at $176 and the Intel part at $319.

Fields that are the same include memory bus (dual-channel for both), ECC memory support (true for both), multiplier unlocked status (false for both), market segment (Desktop for both), and production status (Active for both).

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G wins in the only measurable category: benchmark availability. It has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark scores spanning Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and multiple Passmark tests. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has zero recorded benchmark scores. In terms of measured performance evidence, the Ryzen 3 8300G is the only processor of the two with data to analyze.

The Ryzen 3 8300G also holds a higher percentile versus all CPUs at 72, compared to 50 for the Core 5 223PQE. Its average benchmark score of 18169 places it among the nearest rivals in the 18150 to 18180 range, all with near-zero deltas. This indicates the Ryzen 3 8300G sits in a well-populated performance tier.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE wins on several specification fronts. It offers 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, which suggests higher multi-threaded capacity in workloads that scale with core count. Its boost clock of 5.50 GHz exceeds the Ryzen 3 8300G's 4.90 GHz, and its base clock of 4.00 GHz exceeds 3.40 GHz. The larger 24 MB shared L3 cache versus 8 MB, and the higher 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth versus 83.2 GB/s, both favor the Intel part. The PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes is a generational advantage over Gen 4 with 14 lanes. The support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory gives the Intel platform broader memory compatibility.

The Ryzen 3 8300G counters with efficiency. Its 65 W TDP is well below the Intel part's 125 W, and its 4 nm TSMC process is denser than Intel's 10 nm node. The smaller 137 mm² die with 20,900 million transistors indicates a compact design. The AMD part also integrates the Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel part integrates UHD Graphics 770.

The database does not record any direct benchmark wins for either processor, so use-case conclusions must derive from the available data. The Ryzen 3 8300G is the choice for scenarios where measured performance evidence and higher percentile ranking matter, and where lower power draw and a smaller process node are priorities. The Core 5 223PQE is the choice on paper for core-heavy workloads, higher clock speeds, larger cache, newer PCIe, and broader memory support. Without benchmark scores for the Intel part, the database cannot confirm whether those specification advantages translate into measured performance wins.
