AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X. The head-to-head benchmark field is empty, and the Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This means a direct numerical comparison of their performance in identical workloads is not possible from the recorded data.

The Ryzen 3 8300GE, however, has a complete set of benchmark measurements. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 11,705, and its single-core score is 1,652. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 4,916, with a single-core score of 693. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1,179 multi-core and 166 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 13,507, a single-thread score of 3,644, integer math at 39,163, floating-point math at 24,681, and extended instructions at 11,923. Data compression scores 155,164, data encryption 8,603, and random string sorting 18,010. Prime number finding scores 44, and physics scores 750.

The Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no such scores recorded. Its average benchmark score is listed as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The Ryzen 3 8300GE sits at the 71st percentile, with an average benchmark score of 17,614. The nearest rivals for the 8300GE are the Intel Core i3-14100T at an average score of 17,648 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i3-13100F at 17,653 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17,656 (0.2% higher), and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17,693 (0.4% higher). The 8300GE trails all four by fractions of a percent, placing it within a narrow performance band.

Because the 9700X has no benchmark entries, there are no wins to tally for either processor. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero. The analysis must therefore rely on the architectural and specification differences between the two parts, alongside the 8300GE's measured performance, to characterize what the 9700X would likely deliver based on its design parameters.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is a fully measured, active desktop processor with verified performance across multiple benchmark suites. Its 71st percentile ranking places it above the median CPU in the database, and its average score of 17,614 is essentially tied with its closest rivals, all within 0.4%. The 8300GE is a 4-core, 8-thread part with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, running at a 35 W TDP on AMD Socket AM5.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X, by contrast, has no benchmark data recorded. Its percentile is 50, which is the median, and its average score is 0. This absence of measurements means the database cannot confirm its real-world performance. What the recorded specifications show is a substantially larger design: 8 cores, 16 threads, a 3.80 GHz base clock, a 5.50 GHz boost clock, and a 65 W TDP. It also uses the same AM5 socket.

For a user selecting strictly from the data, the 8300GE is the only part with proven benchmark results. The 9700X would require its own measurements to establish a comparable performance profile. The 9700X's specifications suggest higher multi-threaded capability due to double the cores and threads, and a higher boost clock, but without recorded scores, that remains an inference from the specification sheet rather than a measured outcome. The 8300GE is the choice when verified performance data is required; the 9700X is the choice when a larger core count and higher clock ceilings are the priority, accepting that its benchmark scores are absent from the database.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 3 8300GE wins in any scenario where verified benchmark performance is necessary. Its recorded scores cover Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and a broad PassMark suite, including integer math, floating-point math, encryption, compression, and physics. The 8300GE also wins on thermal envelope, with a 35 W TDP compared to the 9700X's 65 W, which indicates lower power draw for the same socket. Its transistor count is listed at 20,900 million on a 137 mm² die, versus 8,315 million transistors on a 70.6 mm² die for the 9700X. The 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, while the 9700X uses Zen 5 with the Granite Ridge codename.

The Ryzen Embedded 9700X wins in raw core count and threading: 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads. Its base clock is 0.30 GHz higher, and its boost clock is 0.60 GHz higher. It has a larger L3 cache at 32 MB shared, compared to 8 MB shared on the 8300GE. The 9700X also has a higher memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s, versus 83.2 GB/s for the 8300GE. PCIe connectivity favors the 9700X with Gen 5 and 24 lanes, while the 8300GE offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes. The 9700X has an unlocked multiplier, while the 8300GE does not. The 9700X also has a newer release date of October 6, 2025, compared to April 15, 2024 for the 8300GE.

Use-case splits from the data: the 8300GE suits workloads where measured performance and lower power consumption are the deciding factors, such as compact or thermally constrained builds. The 9700X suits workloads that can leverage more cores, threads, cache, and higher memory bandwidth, such as multi-threaded server or embedded tasks, provided the higher TDP is acceptable. The 9700X's Gen 5 PCIe lanes and 24-lane count also indicate a design aimed at higher-throughput I/O scenarios.
