Analysis: AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4355GE vs Intel Core i7-1365UE
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The recorded data shows a consistent, if narrow, advantage for the Intel Core i7-1365UE across every Cinebench iteration in the database. The head-to-head results are decisive: Intel wins all six benchmark comparisons, with the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4355GE trailing by roughly 3% in each test.
In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Intel part scores 932 against AMD's 904, a delta of -3%. The single-core R15 result is closer, 131 versus 127, representing a -3.1% gap. This pattern repeats in R20 multicore, where Intel posts 3887 and AMD posts 3769, again a -3% difference. The R20 single-core test shows Intel at 548 and AMD at 532, a -2.9% delta. In the more demanding R23 workloads, Intel leads with 9257 multicore versus 8975, and 1306 single-core versus 1267, both at -3%.
The margin is remarkably uniform across all tests, suggesting a steady performance advantage rather than a workload-specific strength. The Intel chip's largest relative lead appears in R15 single-core, where the delta reaches -3.1%, though the absolute score difference is just 4 points. In absolute terms, the biggest point gap is in R23 multicore, where Intel leads by 282 points.
For context, the AMD part's average benchmark score sits at 2596, placing it in the 49th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part averages 2677, at the 50th percentile. The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i5-9500F with an average score of 2670 and a delta of 0.3%, while the AMD chip's closest competitor is the Intel Core i7-8850H at 2604, with a delta of -0.3%. These figures place both processors in a tightly packed performance tier, but the Intel i7-1365UE holds a measurable edge over the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4355GE in every recorded benchmark.
Architecture Differences
The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 4355GE uses the Zen 2 architecture under the Renoir codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 9,800 million transistors on a 156 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-1365UE, in contrast, uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-U codename, fabricated on Intel's 10 nm process. No transistor count or die size is recorded for the Intel part.
Core and thread counts differ sharply. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip offers 10 cores and 12 threads. This hybrid arrangement in the Intel part likely contributes to its multicore advantage, though the benchmark deltas remain modest. The AMD chip's base clock is 3.50 GHz with a boost of 4.00 GHz. The Intel chip's recorded base clock is listed as 1700.00 MHz, which appears to be a base frequency figure, with a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The higher boost clock on the Intel part partially explains its single-core wins.
Cache hierarchies also diverge. AMD's L1 cache is 64 KB per core, L2 is 512 KB per core, and L3 is 4 MB shared. Intel's L1 is 80 KB per core, L2 is 1.25 MB per core, and L3 is 12 MB shared. The Intel chip's larger shared L3 cache, triple the size of AMD's, provides more room for frequently accessed data across its 10 cores.
Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR4 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though no bandwidth figure is recorded. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel one.
PCIe capabilities vary: AMD offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while Intel offers Gen 4 with 8 lanes. The integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon Vega 6, while Intel uses Iris Xe Graphics 80EU. These are distinct GPU solutions, though no benchmark scores for graphics are recorded in this database.
The socket and market segment further separate the two. AMD uses Socket AM4 and targets the desktop segment, while Intel uses BGA 1744 and targets mobile. The AMD processor's release date is recorded as 2022-11-10, while the Intel part released on 2023-01-03. Both are listed as Active in production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.
Where Each One Wins
The data indicates that the Intel Core i7-1365UE wins in every measured workload category, but the analysis should be nuanced by the scale of those wins. In multicore tests, the Intel chip's 10 cores and 12 threads provide a structural advantage, yet the margin over the 4-core, 8-thread AMD chip is only about 3% in R15, R20, and R23. This suggests that the AMD Zen 2 architecture is highly efficient per core, compensating for its lower core count.
For single-core performance, the Intel chip also leads, by roughly 3% in each iteration. The Intel boost clock of 4.90 GHz, combined with a larger L1 cache per core, likely drives this advantage. However, the AMD chip's 4.00 GHz boost is respectable, and the single-core deltas are small enough that workload-specific behavior could flip the result in some scenarios not captured in this benchmark set.
Use-case splits based on the recorded data favor the Intel part for heavily threaded tasks like video rendering or compilation, where the multicore Cinebench scores apply. The AMD part, despite losing all six head-to-head tests, remains competitive in lighter tasks; its 49th percentile ranking and average score of 2596 show it sits just below the Intel part's 50th percentile and 2677 average. For desktop users with a preference for DDR4 and ECC memory support, the AMD chip offers features the Intel chip lacks, even if raw Cinebench performance trails.
The Intel part's support for DDR5 memory, though not benchmarked here, could provide additional bandwidth in memory-sensitive applications. The AMD part's PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes offers more CPU-attached lanes for expansion, which may matter in desktop builds. The Intel part's Gen 4 with 8 lanes provides higher per-lane bandwidth but fewer total lanes.
