AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Core 5 213PTE wins every single head-to-head comparison against the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, taking all 17 recorded tests. The largest margins appear in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel part scores 21,751 versus 11,705 for the AMD chip, a delta of -46.2% from the AMD side. The gap narrows considerably in single-threaded PassMark tests, where the Intel part leads by only 2% (3,718 versus 3,644). That 2% margin is the closest the AMD processor comes to a victory.

The Intel Core 5 213PTE sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE lands in the 71st percentile. The Intel chip's average benchmark score is 32,924, compared to 17,614 for the AMD chip. The Intel processor's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700 (32,942, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (33,079, delta -0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (33,089, delta -0.5%). The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i3-14100T (17,648, delta -0.2%), the Intel Core i3-13100F (17,653, delta -0.2%), and the Intel Core i7-1255U (17,656, delta -0.2%). The Intel part performs like a high-end desktop chip from the previous generation, while the AMD part aligns with low-power quad-core offerings.

Who should pick which? The data supports the Intel Core 5 213PTE for workloads that demand heavy multi-threading, large integer math, or floating-point throughput. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is the choice only for systems where its 35 W TDP and smaller footprint matter more than raw performance, since it trails by 40% to 72% in most multi-threaded tests. The Intel part's 45 W TDP is higher, but the performance gap is substantial enough to justify the extra power draw in compute-focused builds.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design families. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture on 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 213PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel. The Intel part does not have recorded transistor or die size figures in the database.

Core counts differ sharply. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD part uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip's larger L3 cache and higher core count explain much of its multi-threaded advantage.

Memory architecture differs as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE supports only DDR5, while the Intel Core 5 213PTE supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the AMD part has a higher rated memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the Intel part. PCIe support also differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 4 with 14 CPU-only lanes, while the Intel chip provides Gen 5 with 16 CPU-only lanes.

Integrated graphics diverge significantly. The AMD part includes a Radeon 740M, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 730. No benchmark scores for the integrated GPUs are recorded in the database, so the comparison is limited to feature availability, not performance.

Specification Differences

The processors differ across nearly every recorded specification field. Core and thread counts: AMD has 4 cores and 8 threads; Intel has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks: AMD runs at 3.50 GHz, Intel at 2.10 GHz. Boost clocks: AMD reaches 4.90 GHz, Intel reaches 5.20 GHz. TDP: AMD is rated at 35 W, Intel at 45 W.

Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. Process nodes differ: AMD uses 4 nm, Intel uses 10 nm. Foundries differ: AMD uses TSMC, Intel uses its own fab.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates every recorded benchmark. The Cinebench suite shows consistent ~46% leads. In Cinebench R15 multicore, Intel scores 2,192 versus 1,179 for AMD, a -46.2% delta. Single-core R15 shows 309 versus 166, a -46.3% delta. R20 multicore: 9,135 versus 4,916 (-46.2%). R20 single-core: 1,289 versus 693 (-46.2%). R23 multicore: 21,751 versus 11,705 (-46.2%). R23 single-core: 3,070 versus 1,652 (-46.2%). The Cinebench results indicate a near-uniform scaling advantage for the Intel part across both single and multi-threaded workloads.

PassMark tests reveal where the Intel chip's added cores matter most. Data compression: Intel scores 261,083 versus 155,164, a -40.6% delta. Data encryption: 14,413 versus 8,603, a -40.3% delta. The largest gap appears in find prime numbers: 157 versus 44, a -72% delta. Floating-point math: 71,722 versus 24,681, a -65.6% delta. Integer math: 93,109 versus 39,163, a -57.9% delta. Physics: 2,199 versus 750, a -65.9% delta. Random string sorting: 30,106 versus 18,010, a -40.2% delta. Extended instructions: 16,146 versus 11,923, a -26.2% delta. Multithread: 25,590 versus 13,507, a -47.2% delta.

The single-threaded PassMark results are the only close contest. Intel scores 3,718 versus 3,644 for AMD, a delta of just -2%. This indicates that per-core performance is nearly equivalent, and the Intel chip's overall advantage comes primarily from having twice as many cores and threads. The AMD chip's higher base clock (3.50 GHz versus 2.10 GHz) helps close the single-thread gap, but the Intel part's higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz) still gives it the edge.

The overall average benchmark scores confirm the hierarchy: Intel at 32,924 versus AMD at 17,614. The Intel chip's nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-12700, scores 32,942, only 0.1% higher, meaning the Core 5 213PTE essentially matches a prior-generation high-end desktop part. The AMD chip's nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-14100T, scores 17,648, only 0.2% higher, placing the Ryzen 3 8300GE squarely in the low-power quad-core segment. The data shows no scenario where the AMD chip outperforms the Intel part in any recorded workload.
