Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G and the Intel Core 5 223PQE. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has an empty benchmark array, meaning no PassMark scores are recorded for it. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G, however, has a full set of PassMark scores. Its single-thread score is 3,096, and its multithread score is 14,033. In specific tests, the AMD part scores 168,041 in data compression, 10,288 in data encryption, 11,935 in extended instructions, 36 in find prime numbers, 25,245 in floating point math, 45,910 in integer math, 701 in physics, and 18,819 in random string sorting. The average benchmark score for the AMD part is 27,382, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part has a 50th percentile ranking and an average benchmark score of 0, confirming that no performance data exists for it. Since the Intel part has no measured scores, there are no wins to attribute to it in any category. The AMD part, by default, holds all recorded performance wins in this comparison.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G wins in every measurable benchmark category because it has actual scores, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has none. The AMD part's strengths are visible in its percentile ranking of 79, which places it above the median CPU. Its nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i7-13700H (0.1% ahead) and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (0.6% behind), confirm that the AMD part delivers competitive performance in the mid-range desktop segment. The Intel Core 5 223PQE, on the other hand, has no benchmark wins recorded and no rivals listed, so its use case cannot be validated from performance data. The Intel part does have a higher core count, a higher boost clock, larger cache, faster memory bandwidth, and PCIe Gen 5 support in its specifications, but these are unverified by any benchmark results. The AMD part is the only processor with evidence of performance, making it the sole winner in this comparison. The database shows the AMD part as active with a production status of Active, and the Intel part is also Active, but only the AMD part has measurable results. For any workload requiring verified performance, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is the only option with data to support it.
