AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split between the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and the Intel Core 5 211TE is not a clean sweep for either part. The Intel chip wins 9 of the 17 recorded head-to-head tests, while the AMD part takes 8. However, the nature of those wins reveals a clear specialization: the Ryzen 3 8300GE dominates in data-centric and integer-heavy workloads, while the Core 5 211TE leads in Cinebench rendering and physics simulation.

The AMD processor's largest victories come in PassMark's single-thread test, where it scores 3644 against Intel's 1408, a 158.8% advantage. It also wins extended instructions by 38.4% (11923 vs 8615), data encryption by 19% (8603 vs 7231), random string sorting by 21.4% (18010 vs 14838), and data compression by 16.3% (155164 vs 133434). Integer math goes to AMD by 15.2% (39163 vs 33991), and the multithread PassMark score favors AMD by 15.6% (13507 vs 11685). These results point to a processor that executes per-thread scalar code and memory-touching workloads with high efficiency.

The Intel Core 5 211TE counters with consistent wins across every Cinebench iteration. In R15 multicore it scores 1229 against 1179, a 4.1% edge. R20 multicore shows 5124 vs 4916, also 4.1% ahead. R23 multicore delivers 12201 vs 11705, again 4.1%. Single-core Cinebench results follow the same pattern: R15 at 173 vs 166, R20 at 723 vs 693, and R23 at 1722 vs 1652, each roughly 4% higher. The Intel part also wins PassMark physics by a substantial 41.3% (1278 vs 750), floating point math by 5.6% (26150 vs 24681), and find prime numbers by 38.9% (72 vs 44).

The data shows a functional split: the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is optimized for integer, encryption, compression, and single-thread response, while the Intel Core 5 211TE is stronger in rendering workloads, physics calculations, and floating-point throughput. Users running Cinebench-type tasks or simulation code should expect the Intel part to finish ahead. Users handling compression, encryption, or string processing should expect the AMD part to finish significantly ahead.

The Verdict

The recorded benchmarks indicate that the Intel Core 5 211TE is the better choice for multi-core rendering and physics-based workloads. Its 10 cores and 16 threads produce a 4.1% advantage in every Cinebench multicore test, and its 41.3% lead in PassMark physics (1278 vs 750) is the largest gap in its favor outside the prime-number test. The Intel part also holds a 5.6% edge in floating point math. These are the metrics that matter for 3D rendering, scientific simulation, and video encoding.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is the better choice for single-threaded responsiveness and data-heavy tasks. Its 158.8% lead in PassMark single-thread (3644 vs 1408) is the single largest benchmark delta in either direction, and it wins integer math (15.2%), data compression (16.3%), data encryption (19%), random string sorting (21.4%), and extended instructions (38.4%). The AMD part also posts a 15.6% higher PassMark multithread score, which measures overall throughput across mixed workloads. For desktop use involving spreadsheets, databases, scripting, and file compression, the Ryzen 3 8300GE delivers more performance per operation.

The overall average benchmark score favors the AMD part: 17614 vs 15370. The Ryzen 3 8300GE also sits at the 71st percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Core 5 211TE sits at the 69th percentile. The AMD processor's nearest rival is the Intel Core i3-14100T with an average score of 17648, a delta of only 0.2%. The Intel processor's nearest rival is the AMD EPYC 7543 at 15477, a 0.7% delta. These proximity values confirm that the Ryzen 3 8300GE competes at a slightly higher overall performance tier, but the Intel part wins the specific workloads where its core count matters.

For a system dedicated to rendering, physics, or heavy floating-point computation, pick the Intel Core 5 211TE. For a system handling general productivity, data processing, or single-thread-sensitive applications, pick the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most striking result in the dataset is the PassMark single-thread test. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 3644, while the Intel Core 5 211TE scores 1408. That is a 158.8% advantage for AMD, the largest delta recorded in any test. This result indicates that the Zen 4 architecture's per-core performance is far ahead of the Bartlett Lake core design when executing a single thread. The same 158.8% delta appears in the duplicate passmark_singlethread field, confirming the measurement.

The extended instructions test shows a 38.4% AMD win (11923 vs 8615). This test likely exercises SIMD and advanced instruction sets, where Zen 4's 4 nm process and modern core design provide a substantial edge over Intel's 10 nm process. The Intel part's 10-core design cannot compensate for the per-core deficit in this workload.

The find prime numbers test is the largest Intel win at 38.9% (72 vs 44). This workload is memory-latency sensitive and benefits from the Intel part's larger 20 MB shared L3 cache, which is 12 MB larger than the AMD part's 8 MB. The physics test also favors Intel by 41.3% (1278 vs 750), suggesting that the Intel core layout with 10 physical cores handles multi-body simulation more efficiently.

Cinebench scores are uniformly 4.1% higher for Intel in multicore and 4.0% to 4.1% higher in single-core. The consistency of these deltas across R15, R20, and R23 indicates a stable architectural advantage in rendering workloads. The Intel part's 10 cores and 16 threads provide a 4.1% edge in all three multicore tests, while its 4.0% to 4.1% single-core edge suggests the Bartlett Lake core has slightly higher peak frequency behavior in the benchmark's single-threaded section.

The floating point math test shows a modest 5.6% Intel win (26150 vs 24681). This result is closer than the physics or prime-number tests, indicating that the AMD part's floating-point units are competitive but not superior. The AMD part's wins in integer math (15.2%), data compression (16.3%), and multithread (15.6%) show that its strengths lie in integer execution and memory bandwidth utilization.
