AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE vs Intel Xeon E-2374G Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a remarkably consistent pattern across all six shared Cinebench tests. The Intel Xeon E-2374G wins every single head-to-head matchup, but the margins are surprisingly tight. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the Intel part scores 1142 against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE's 1083, a delta of 5.4%. The single-core R15 result is similar: 161 versus 152, a 5.9% advantage for Intel.

Moving to Cinebench R20, the story does not change. The Xeon E-2374G posts 4760 in multicore against 4515 for the Ryzen, again a 5.4% lead. In R20 single-core, Intel scores 672 versus 637, a 5.5% edge. The newest test in the shared set, Cinebench R23, mirrors the older ones almost exactly: 11335 versus 10750 in multicore (5.4%) and 1600 versus 1517 in single-core (5.5%).

What stands out is the consistency. Every delta sits between 5.4% and 5.9%, which suggests a stable performance relationship rather than workload-specific spikes. The Intel chip does not suddenly surge in one test or fall behind in another. It simply maintains a narrow but uniform advantage across the entire Cinebench suite.

The Intel processor also holds a higher average benchmark score. Its average is 3278, while the AMD part averages 3218. That places the Xeon at the 53rd percentile among all CPUs, and the Ryzen also sits at the 53rd percentile. Both chips land in the same percentile band, which reinforces the idea that these are closely matched parts overall.

When comparing against their nearest rivals, the two CPUs sit in similar company. The Xeon E-2374G's closest competitor is the Intel Core i3-12100T at an average score of 3277, a 0% delta, followed by the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2516 at 3277. The Intel Core i5-11500T is a hair faster at 3288, a -0.3% delta relative to the Xeon. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE's nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U at 3218, also a 0% delta, with the Intel Atom P5342 at 3217. The Intel Core i5-1240P trails by 0.5% at 3202.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide here is significant. The Intel Xeon E-2374G uses Rocket Lake-E silicon, built on Intel's 14 nm process with a 276 mm² die. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE is a Zen 3 part, codenamed Cezanne, fabricated by TSMC on a 7 nm node with a 180 mm² die and 10,700 million transistors. The process node gap is substantial: 14 nm versus 7 nm. Yet the benchmark results show the older process keeping pace, which points to clock speed and architecture efficiency balancing the equation.

Clock behavior differs meaningfully. The Xeon has a 3.70 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.00 GHz. The Ryzen runs a lower 3.60 GHz base and boosts to 4.20 GHz. That 0.80 GHz boost advantage for Intel is likely a major factor behind its consistent single-core wins in Cinebench. The power envelope is also very different: the Xeon carries an 80 watt TDP, while the Ryzen is rated at just 35 watts. The AMD chip delivers nearly the same performance at less than half the thermal budget.

Both processors have 4 cores and 8 threads, so thread counts are identical. Cache structures are similar in capacity but organized differently. The Xeon provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Ryzen offers 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. Total L3 matches at 8 MB, but the per-core L1 is smaller on the AMD side.

Memory support is broadly comparable. Both use DDR4 with dual-channel buses and identical 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth. Both support ECC memory, which matters for workstation and server workloads. PCIe connectivity differs: the Xeon provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Ryzen offers Gen 3 with 16 lanes. That gives Intel a bandwidth and lane-count advantage for expansion devices.

Integrated graphics also differ. The Xeon includes UHD Graphics P750, while the Ryzen packs Radeon Vega 6. The socket situation is entirely different: Intel uses Socket 1200, AMD uses AM4. The Xeon is classified as a Server/Workstation part, while the Ryzen is a Desktop chip. Both are currently Active in production.

Where Each One Wins

The data points to a clear split in use cases. The Intel Xeon E-2374G wins every recorded Cinebench test, both single-core and multi-core. If the workload is heavily threaded rendering or compilation, the Xeon's 5.4% multicore advantage in R23 (11335 versus 10750) gives it a measurable edge. Its 5.5% single-core lead in R23 (1600 versus 1517) also favors snappy single-threaded responsiveness. For applications like Cinebench that scale with raw CPU throughput, Intel is the pick.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE, despite losing every head-to-head benchmark, has its own territory. Its 35 watt TDP against Intel's 80 watts means it generates far less heat and should be far easier to cool. In compact desktop builds or quiet office environments, the thermal envelope is a decisive factor. The data cannot quantify the cooling difference, but the TDP figures alone suggest the AMD part belongs in power-constrained systems. The Ryzen also has a Geekbench result in the database: 5311 multicore and 1779 single-core. The Xeon has no recorded Geekbench score, so direct comparison in that test is not possible from the data. The Ryzen's 7 nm process and smaller 180 mm² die point to better manufacturing efficiency, even if the benchmark scores do not show a performance translation.

The Xeon's PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes is another differentiator. Systems that need high-bandwidth storage or expansion cards will favor the Intel platform. The Ryzen's Gen 3 support with 16 lanes is adequate for mainstream desktop use but not as forward-looking. The Xeon also carries the Server/Workstation market segment label, which aligns with its ECC memory support and platform positioning.

The Verdict

The database paints a straightforward picture. The Intel Xeon E-2374G is the faster CPU in every measured benchmark. It wins all six shared Cinebench tests with deltas between 5.4% and 5.9%, and it holds a higher average benchmark score of 3278 versus 3218. For anyone prioritizing raw compute performance in Cinebench-style workloads, the Xeon is the clear choice. Its 5.00 GHz boost clock and 8 MB of L3 cache help explain the consistent wins.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5350GE is the efficiency pick. At 35 watts versus 80 watts, it delivers roughly 95% of the Xeon's multicore performance in Cinebench R23 (10750 versus 11335) while drawing far less power. The data does not include real-world power measurements, but the TDP gap is stark. For small-form-factor desktops, always-on systems, or deployments where heat and cooling noise matter, the Ryzen is highly attractive. It also offers a Geekbench result in the database, which the Xeon lacks.

Both chips sit at the 53rd percentile among all CPUs, and their nearest rivals are closely clustered. The Xeon's nearest competitor is only 0.4% faster (the Intel Xeon E5-1680 v3 at 3265, a 0.4% delta), while the Ryzen's nearest rival is 0.6% slower (the Intel Core i3-13100T at 3198, a 0.6% delta). Neither processor is an outlier; both are solidly mid-pack performers.

The choice comes down to priorities. The Xeon wins on performance and platform features like PCIe Gen 4 and 20 lanes. The Ryzen wins on efficiency, process node, and a smaller physical footprint. The Xeon has a recorded launch MSRP of $334; the Ryzen has no launch MSRP in the database. Server and workstation buyers should lean toward the Xeon. Desktop builders focused on low power should lean toward the Ryzen.
