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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark record for these two AMD processors paints a clear picture of a 6-core mobile part edging out a 4-core desktop part in most measured workloads, but with two notable exceptions where the smaller chip strikes back. Across the seventeen recorded tests, the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes thirteen wins, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE claims four.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, the Ryzen 5 7533HS leads in every render test, though the margins are tight. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Ryzen 5 scores 1243 against 1179 for the Ryzen 3, a 5.1% gap. The single-core R15 result shows the same pattern: 175 versus 166, again 5.1% behind. Moving to R20, the multicore scores are 5183 and 4916 (5.2% delta), while single-core lands at 731 and 693 (5.2%). The R23 results repeat this almost exactly: 12342 versus 11705 in multicore, and 1742 versus 1652 in single-core, both at a 5.2% deficit for the Ryzen 3.

The PassMark suite shows wider divergence in some areas. Integer math is the largest win for the Ryzen 5: 50800 versus 39163, a 22.9% advantage. Data encryption also favors the Ryzen 5 by a substantial 19.7% (10718 versus 8603). Floating point math goes to the Ryzen 5 at 27800 versus 24681, an 11.2% gap. Physics testing shows 821 against 750, a difference of 8.6%. Prime number finding favors the Ryzen 5 at 48 versus 44, an 8.3% margin. Data compression is 168692 versus 155164, an 8% gap. The multithread aggregate score sits at 14520 versus 13507, a 7% difference.

The Ryzen 3 8300GE counters in three meaningful ways. The PassMark single-thread test shows 3644 versus 2740, a massive 33% advantage for the Ryzen 3. This is the single largest delta in the entire comparison. Extended instructions also favor the Ryzen 3: 11923 versus 11219, a 6.3% edge. Random string sorting goes to the Ryzen 3 at 18010 versus 17669, a narrower 1.9% win.

The average benchmark score in the database confirms the overall ordering: the Ryzen 5 7533HS posts 19364, while the Ryzen 3 8300GE posts 17614. The Ryzen 5 sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, the Ryzen 3 at the 71st. The Ryzen 5's nearest rival is the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V with a 0% delta, while the Ryzen 3's closest competitor is the Intel Core i3-14100T at just 0.2% behind.

What the data suggests is a processor that wins on raw core count and thread throughput against one that wins decisively in single-threaded PassMark scoring and instruction extension work. The Cinebench deltas, consistently around 5%, hint that the architectural differences matter less than the core count in render workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different generations and use different manufacturing processes. The Ryzen 3 8300GE belongs to the 8000 series and is built on Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS belongs to the 7000 series and uses Zen 3+ with the Rembrandt-R codename. The process node reflects this generational split: the Ryzen 3 uses TSMC's 4 nm process, the Ryzen 5 uses 6 nm.

The die sizes tell a story of their own. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has a die size of 208 mm², notably larger than the Ryzen 3 8300GE's 137 mm². Transistor counts are not recorded for the Ryzen 5, but the Ryzen 3 carries 20,900 million transistors. The larger die on the older process node explains part of the power and thermal profile difference, though both parts share a 35 W TDP.

Cache configurations differ in the L2 and L3 levels. Both use 64 KB of L1 per core. The Ryzen 3 8300GE has 1 MB of L2 per core, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS has 512 KB per core. The shared L3 cache favors the Ryzen 5: 16 MB versus 8 MB. This doubling of L3 cache likely contributes to the Ryzen 5's lead in data-heavy workloads like data compression and encryption.

Memory support is DDR5 for both, with dual-channel buses. The recorded memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s for the Ryzen 3 and 76.8 GB/s for the Ryzen 5. ECC memory is supported on the Ryzen 3 but not on the Ryzen 5. PCIe lane counts differ as well: the Ryzen 3 provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes, while the Ryzen 5 provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes.

Integrated graphics differentiate the two further. The Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Radeon 740M, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Radeon 660M. The sockets reflect their market segments: the Ryzen 3 uses AMD Socket AM5, the Ryzen 5 uses AMD Socket FP7. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The release dates place the Ryzen 3 in April 2024 and the Ryzen 5 in August 2024. Both are listed as Active in production status. The Ryzen 3 is a Desktop segment part, while the Ryzen 5 is Mobile. This segment difference is worth noting when interpreting the benchmark results, as mobile parts may face different power delivery and thermal constraints in practice.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a straightforward split. The AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS is the stronger all-around performer in most multi-threaded and throughput-oriented workloads. Its 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with double the L3 cache, give it consistent leads in Cinebench multicore tests, integer math, encryption, compression, and physics simulations. The 22.9% lead in integer math and 19.7% lead in data encryption are the kind of margins that matter for sustained compute tasks.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, despite having fewer cores and threads, shows a decisive 33% lead in PassMark single-thread scoring. It also wins in extended instructions by 6.3% and in random string sorting by 1.9%. These wins suggest that for workloads that depend heavily on single-threaded execution or specific instruction sets, the Zen 4 architecture and higher boost clock (4.90 GHz versus 4.40 GHz) deliver tangible benefits.

The percentile positions are close: 73rd for the Ryzen 5, 71st for the Ryzen 3. The average benchmark scores differ by about 9.9%, with the Ryzen 5 at 19364 and the Ryzen 3 at 17614. The Ryzen 5's nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V, is essentially tied at a 0% delta, while the Ryzen 3's nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-14100T, sits just 0.2% behind it.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 7533HS wins in render workloads. Every Cinebench test, from R15 to R23, in both single-core and multicore modes, goes to the Ryzen 5. The margins are consistent at around 5%, which suggests the additional cores and threads provide a steady advantage in CPU-bound rendering tasks.

The Ryzen 5 also dominates in math-heavy PassMark tests. Integer math shows the largest gap at 22.9%. Floating point math follows at 11.2%. Prime number finding is 8.3% ahead. Physics scoring goes to the Ryzen 5 by 8.6%. Data compression is 8% ahead, and data encryption is 19.7% ahead. The multithread aggregate score favors the Ryzen 5 by 7%.

The Ryzen 3 8300GE wins in PassMark single-thread performance by a wide 33% margin. This is the standout result in the entire comparison. Extended instructions go to the Ryzen 3 by 6.3%, and random string sorting by 1.9%. These wins indicate that the Ryzen 3's higher boost clock and newer Zen 4 architecture give it an edge in latency-sensitive or instruction-specific tasks.

For use cases involving heavy multi-threaded compute, data processing, encryption, or rendering, the Ryzen 5 7533HS is the clear choice based on the recorded benchmarks. For workloads that are predominantly single-threaded or that rely on extended instruction sets, the Ryzen 3 8300GE shows measurable advantages. The two processors serve different segments, Desktop versus Mobile, and the data reflects the trade-offs between core count, cache size, and architectural generation.
