Where Each One Wins

The recorded data shows a one-sided comparison: the Intel Core 5 213PE wins all 17 head-to-head benchmark entries, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE wins none. The closest margin for AMD is in single-thread PassMark testing, where the Intel part leads by only 10.2%. Every other gap is far larger, ranging from 39.1% to 64%.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE does win in two qualitative areas that are not performance benchmarks. It has a lower TDP of 35 W versus 65 W for Intel, which indicates a power efficiency advantage. It also supports only DDR5 memory with a higher bandwidth figure of 83.2 GB/s, compared to Intel's 76.8 GB/s, although the Intel part's dual support for DDR4 and DDR5 offers platform flexibility.

For workloads that depend heavily on floating-point math, the Intel chip's 68,587 PassMark score versus 24,681 for AMD shows a dominant position. For integer math, the Intel scores 92,089 against 39,163. The largest single gap is in floating-point math at 64%, followed by find prime numbers at 61.4%. The smallest gap beyond single-thread is extended instructions at 39.1%.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 213PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

The core configurations differ substantially. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. This doubling of core and thread counts explains much of the multi-threaded benchmark gap. The AMD part has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The Intel part has a lower base clock of 2.70 GHz but a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz.

Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 213PE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's triple-sized L3 cache is a significant architectural advantage for workloads that fit within the larger pool.

The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, whereas the Intel part has PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses the Radeon 740M, and Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Both are locked multipliers. Both support ECC memory.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 213PE wins every benchmark in the database comparison, with margins that consistently favor it across both Cinebench and PassMark suites. The Cinebench results show a nearly uniform 47.9% to 48% gap. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, Intel scores 2,264 versus 1,179 for AMD. In R15 single-core, Intel scores 319 versus 166. The R20 tests show 9,436 versus 4,916 in multi-core and 1,332 versus 693 in single-core. The R23 tests show 22,468 versus 11,705 in multi-core and 3,172 versus 1,652 in single-core.

The PassMark results reveal a wider range of gaps. The closest contest is single-thread testing, where Intel scores 4,060 and AMD scores 3,644, a 10.2% edge. The PassMark multi-thread test shows Intel at 26,434 versus 13,507, a 48.9% gap. Data compression shows Intel at 298,804 versus 155,164, a 48.1% gap. Data encryption shows Intel at 15,916 versus 8,603, a 45.9% gap. Extended instructions show Intel at 19,565 versus 11,923, a 39.1% gap.

The most lopsided results appear in math-heavy workloads. Floating-point math shows Intel at 68,587 versus 24,681, a 64% gap, the largest in the dataset. Find prime numbers shows Intel at 114 versus 44, a 61.4% gap. Integer math shows Intel at 92,089 versus 39,163, a 57.5% gap. Physics shows Intel at 1,624 versus 750, a 53.8% gap. Random string sorting shows Intel at 32,027 versus 18,010, a 43.8% gap.

Across all 17 recorded benchmarks, the average gap is roughly 48% in Intel's favor. The pattern is consistent: the Intel Core 5 213PE delivers roughly double the multi-threaded performance of the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in Cinebench tests, while its single-thread advantage ranges from a modest 10.2% in PassMark to a substantial 48% in Cinebench R20 and R15.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear choice for most workloads: the Intel Core 5 213PE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in every measured benchmark. The Intel chip's average benchmark score of 35,428 is exactly double the AMD chip's 17,614. Its 85th percentile rank versus 71st places it in a higher performance tier overall.

The Intel Core 5 213PE should be selected for multi-threaded rendering, data compression, encryption, and math-heavy applications. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,468 versus 11,705 indicates roughly double the rendering throughput. Its floating-point math score of 68,587 versus 24,681 shows a 64% advantage in numerical workloads. Its 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads provide the structural basis for these wins.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE should be selected when power consumption is the primary constraint. Its 35 W TDP versus 65 W for Intel represents a 46% reduction in thermal envelope. The AMD chip also offers higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s, and it uses a more advanced 4 nm process. Its single-thread PassMark score of 3,644 trails Intel's 4,060 by only 10.2%, which is the closest margin in the entire dataset.

For a system where the workload is lightly threaded and power efficiency is critical, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE remains viable. For everything else, the Intel Core 5 213PE delivers superior performance across the board, with the largest advantages in floating-point math, prime number finding, and integer math. The Intel part's launch MSRP of $221 places it in the mid-range, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The benchmark data shows no scenario where the AMD chip wins a performance test, so the choice reduces to power efficiency versus raw throughput.
