AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 5 223PQE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The comparison between the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and the Intel Core 5 223PQE is asymmetrical in the recorded database. The AMD processor carries a full suite of benchmark results, while the Intel part has no benchmark entries at all in the database, which means a direct score-to-score comparison is not possible for most workloads. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE posts an average benchmark score of 17614, placing it at the 71st percentile among all CPUs tracked. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has an average benchmark score of 0, with a percentile rank of 50, indicating that no measured performance data has been recorded for it yet.

Looking at the AMD chip's individual results, the Cinebench R23 multi-core test yields a score of 11705, while the single-core run produces 1652. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core score is 4916 and the single-core score is 693. The Cinebench R15 results show 1179 for multi-core and 166 for single-core. These scores place the Ryzen 3 8300GE within a narrow competitive band around several Intel and AMD parts. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i3-14100T, has an average score of 17648, a delta of -0.2 percent relative to the AMD chip. The Intel Core i3-13100F also posts 17653, again a -0.2 percent delta. The Intel Core i7-1255U shows 17656, and the AMD EPYC 9374F reaches 17693, a -0.4 percent delta. In other words, the recorded data indicates the Ryzen 3 8300GE sits essentially level with these four rivals, within a fraction of a percent across the board.

PassMark results for the AMD part show a multi-thread score of 13507 and a single-thread score of 3644. Integer math completes at 39163, while floating-point math reaches 24681. Extended instructions score 11923, and data compression hits 155164. Data encryption posts 8603, and random string sorting finishes at 18010. The find prime numbers test is markedly lower at 44, and the physics test returns 750. These figures give a broad view of the Ryzen 3 8300GE's behavior across synthetic workloads, but with no corresponding Intel Core 5 223PQE numbers in the database, a head-to-head win/loss tally cannot be produced.

The absence of recorded benchmarks for the Intel Core 5 223PQE means the database cannot currently show which processor wins any given test. The AMD chip's percentile placement at 71 versus the Intel part's 50 percentile is the only direct comparative ranking available, and that ranking is based on the Intel chip's zero-score average, so it should not be interpreted as a measured performance gap. The data simply has not been populated for the newer Intel processor.

The Verdict

Based strictly on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is the only one of the two processors with measured performance results. Its average benchmark score of 17614 places it at the 71st percentile, and its nearest rivals all sit within -0.2 to -0.4 percent of its average score, indicating a tightly clustered performance tier. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no benchmark scores in the database, so no performance verdict can be attached to it from measurements.

Buyers looking at the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE can expect performance consistent with the Intel Core i3-14100T, the Intel Core i3-13100F, the Intel Core i7-1255U, and the AMD EPYC 9374F, based on the near-identical average scores. The Intel Core 5 223PQE, by contrast, has no data to support any performance claim, and the database shows a 50th percentile placement that reflects an unmeasured entry rather than a tested outcome.

The AMD part uses 35 watts of TDP, while the Intel part is rated at 125 watts, a factor that may matter for system-level considerations, though the database does not provide efficiency benchmarks to quantify the trade-off. The Intel processor offers more cores, 8 versus 4, and more threads, 16 versus 8, but with no benchmark results, the database cannot confirm whether that translates into faster execution. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE has an active production status and a release date of April 2024, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE also shows active status with a release date of March 2026. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $319.
