AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core 7 253PTE: the benchmark data records a decisive outcome. Across all 17 head-to-head tests, the Intel Core 7 253PTE records the higher score, leaving the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE without a single win. The Intel part also holds a higher percentile ranking (84th vs 71st), and its average benchmark score (34962) is roughly double the AMD chip's average (17614). This is not a close contest; the Intel processor dominates in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads, though the margin in single-threaded PassMark tests is far narrower than in multi-threaded or math-heavy tasks.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins every measured category. The largest margins appear in PassMark integer math, where the Intel chip scores 119552 against 39163, a delta of 67.2% in Intel's favor. Floating-point math shows a similar gap: 67209 vs 24681, a 63.3% difference. These results indicate the Intel processor delivers substantially higher throughput for compute-intensive arithmetic workloads, which typically benefit from more cores and higher peak clocks.

Multi-threaded rendering also favors Intel heavily. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 21276 while the AMD chip scores 11705, a 45% delta. The same 45% gap repeats across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multi-core tests, suggesting a consistent scaling advantage for the Intel processor when all threads are active. PassMark multithread confirms the trend: 25031 vs 13507, a 46% delta.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE's only relative strength appears in single-threaded PassMark tests. The Intel chip still wins, but by just 4% (3794 vs 3644). This is the closest margin in the entire comparison. In Cinebench single-core tests, however, Intel's lead is much larger: 3003 vs 1652 in R23 single-core, a 45% delta. So the AMD chip is not competitive even in lightly threaded rendering workloads, but it is less severely outclassed in PassMark's single-thread metric.

Data compression and encryption follow the overall pattern. Intel leads compression by 43.7% (275828 vs 155164) and encryption by 44.5% (15500 vs 8603). Random string sorting shows a smaller Intel advantage at 36.2% (28227 vs 18010), while extended instructions and physics workloads show Intel leads of 30.3% and 43.1%, respectively. Prime number finding, a test sensitive to integer and branch performance, gives Intel a 46.3% edge (82 vs 44).

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is built on a 4 nm TSMC process and uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename. It is a 4-core, 8-thread part with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses Intel's 10 nm process with the Bartlett Lake codename, and it is a 10-core, 20-thread part with a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Intel chip has a higher core and thread count, a lower base clock, and a higher boost clock.

Cache configurations differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has more total cache at every level, which helps explain its strong performance in data-heavy workloads like compression and encryption.

Memory support also differs. AMD supports only DDR5, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but Intel's maximum memory bandwidth is higher at 89.6 GB/s vs AMD's 83.2 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part therefore provides newer and more numerous PCIe lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. AMD uses the Radeon 740M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD chip is built for Socket AM5, the Intel chip for Socket 1700. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP. The Intel part also has a higher TDP at 45 watts vs AMD's 35 watts.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single delta in the entire dataset is PassMark integer math, where Intel leads by 67.2%. The Intel score of 119552 is more than triple the AMD score of 39163. Floating-point math shows a 63.3% delta, with Intel at 67209 and AMD at 24681. These are the two most lopsided results, and they indicate that the Intel chip's higher core count and boost clock translate into massive throughput gains for pure arithmetic workloads.

Cinebench multi-core tests all show a uniform 45% delta. In R15, Intel scores 2144 vs AMD's 1179. In R20, Intel scores 8935 vs AMD's 4916. In R23, Intel scores 21276 vs AMD's 11705. The consistency of the 45% gap across three Cinebench versions suggests that rendering performance scales almost linearly with the Intel part's additional cores and threads.

Cinebench single-core tests also show a 45% delta, which is notable. Intel scores 302 in R15 single-core, 1261 in R20 single-core, and 3003 in R23 single-core. AMD scores 166, 693, and 1652, respectively. This means Intel's single-core advantage is as large as its multi-core advantage in Cinebench, despite AMD's higher base clock (3.50 vs 1.80 GHz). The Intel boost clock of 5.40 GHz is higher than AMD's 4.90 GHz, which likely explains this.

PassMark single-thread tells a different story. Intel leads by only 4%, scoring 3794 vs AMD's 3644. This is the narrowest margin in the dataset. PassMark multithread, by contrast, shows a 46% Intel lead (25031 vs 13507). The divergence between Cinebench single-core (45% Intel lead) and PassMark single-thread (4% Intel lead) suggests that the Intel chip's advantage in lightly threaded work is workload-specific rather than universal.

Data encryption shows a 44.5% Intel lead (15500 vs 8603), while data compression shows a 43.7% lead (275828 vs 155164). Physics tests give Intel a 43.1% lead (1318 vs 750). Extended instructions show a smaller 30.3% lead (17099 vs 11923), and random string sorting shows a 36.2% lead (28227 vs 18010). Prime number finding rounds out the list with a 46.3% Intel lead (82 vs 44).

The Verdict

The data supports a single conclusion: the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the faster processor in every tested workload. The Intel chip's 84th percentile ranking and 34962 average score place it well above the AMD chip's 71st percentile and 17614 average. With 10 cores and 20 threads, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, 33 MB of L3 cache, and support for DDR5 with higher bandwidth, the Intel part has structural advantages that the AMD chip cannot overcome.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is a 4-core, 8-thread part with a 35-watt TDP and a 4.90 GHz boost clock. Its single-threaded PassMark score (3644) is within 4% of Intel's (3794), which shows it is not without merit in that specific test. But in every other metric, including all Cinebench tests, the Intel part leads by at least 30%. For workloads that rely on integer math, floating-point math, rendering, compression, or encryption, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the clear choice based on the recorded data.
