AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive picture: the Intel Core 7 253PTE wins every single head-to-head comparison in the database, 11 out of 11 tests. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G records zero wins. The margins, however, vary considerably by workload, which reveals where each processor has relative strengths.

The largest gap appears in floating-point math. The Intel part scores 67,209 against the AMD's 25,245, a delta of 62.4% in Intel's favor. Integer math shows a similar pattern, with Intel at 119,552 versus 45,910, a 61.6% advantage. These are the two most lopsided results in the comparison, suggesting that the Intel Core 7 253PTE has a substantial compute throughput advantage in heavily arithmetic workloads.

Prime number finding also heavily favors Intel: 82 versus 36, a 56.1% delta. This test often scales with core count and frequency, and the Intel processor has both advantages on paper, though the recorded numbers alone confirm the outcome. Physics simulation follows, with Intel scoring 1,318 against AMD's 701, a 46.8% gap. The multithreaded PassMark score shows Intel at 25,031 versus 14,033, a 43.9% lead, which aligns with the core and thread disparity between the two parts.

The more moderate margins appear in single-threaded performance. Intel scores 3,794 against AMD's 3,096 in the PassMark single-thread test, a delta of 18.4%. This is the closest contest in the entire set. The AMD part's 4.00 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock are competitive in absolute terms, but the Intel part's 5.40 GHz boost clock and newer architecture still produce a clear, if smaller, lead.

Data compression shows Intel at 275,828 versus 168,041, a 39.1% delta. Data encryption, at 15,500 versus 10,288, is a 33.6% gap. Extended instructions, 17,099 versus 11,935, is a 30.2% gap. Random string sorting, 28,227 versus 18,819, is a 33.3% gap. Across all these memory and instruction-level workloads, Intel's lead is consistent but not as extreme as in the math-heavy tests.

The average benchmark score tells the same story. The Intel Core 7 253PTE averages 34,962, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G averages 27,382, placing it in the 79th percentile. That is a 27.7% difference in average score, a substantial gulf. The nearest rivals for each part confirm their respective tiers. Intel's closest competitors include the Intel Core i7-13800H, which scores 34,988 and trails by 0.1%, and the Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35,003, also 0.1% behind. The AMD part's nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-13700H at 27,355, just 0.1% ahead, along with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 at 27,535 and the Intel Core i5-12600K at 27,578, both about 0.6% to 0.7% ahead. The data places the Intel Core 7 253PTE in a higher performance tier altogether, one populated by high-end mobile and desktop chips, while the AMD part competes with mid-range desktop processors.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. AMD uses TSMC's 7 nm process for the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G, which is built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. Intel fabricates the Core 7 253PTE on its own 10 nm process, using the Bartlett Lake codename. The AMD part belongs to the 5000 series and the Ryzen 3 generation under Zen 3 (Cezanne), while the Intel part is a Core 7 generation chip under Bartlett Lake.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The AMD processor has 4 cores and 8 threads. The Intel processor has 10 cores and 20 threads. That is more than double the core count and 12 additional threads. Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3. Intel uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has both more per-core cache and a much larger shared L3 pool.

Transistor count and die size are only recorded for the AMD part: 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. No such data exists in the database for the Intel chip. The Intel processor does report a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s, versus 51.2 GB/s for AMD, and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports DDR4 only. PCIe capability also differs: Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while AMD provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G uses Radeon Vega 6 graphics. The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses UHD Graphics 730. Market segment is desktop for both, and both are listed as Active in production status. The AMD part was released on 2024-09-04, while the Intel part has a later release date of 2026-03-08.

Specification Differences

The socket is a clear divider. AMD uses Socket AM4, while Intel uses Socket 1700. The base clocks diverge noticeably: AMD runs at 4.00 GHz, Intel at 1.80 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the relationship: AMD boosts to 4.20 GHz, Intel to 5.40 GHz. The Intel part's much lower base clock combined with a much higher boost clock suggests a more aggressive turbo behavior, though the database only records the numbers.

TDP also differs. The AMD processor is rated at 65 watts, while the Intel processor is rated at 45 watts. The Intel part delivers higher scores across the board while carrying a lower TDP rating. The AMD part is not multiplier-unlocked, and neither is the Intel part. Part numbers are recorded as 100-000001749 for AMD and SA4QK for Intel. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384; no launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD part.

Memory support is another difference. AMD supports DDR4 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use a dual-channel memory bus. The Intel part has the higher recorded memory bandwidth at 89.6 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s. PCIe generation differs, with Intel at Gen 5 and AMD at Gen 3, though both have 16 CPU lanes.

The Verdict

The recorded data does not leave much room for ambiguity. The Intel Core 7 253PTE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G in every single benchmark in the database. The smallest margin is 18.4% in single-threaded performance, and the largest is 62.4% in floating-point math. The average benchmark score difference is 27.7%, and the Intel part sits in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, versus the 79th percentile for AMD.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor with a 65 watt TDP, a 4.20 GHz boost clock, and DDR4 support. It trades blows with the Intel Core i7-13700H, AMD Ryzen 7 5800, Intel Core i5-12600K, and Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, all within roughly 0.7% of its average score. For workloads that do not demand massive core counts, its higher base clock of 4.00 GHz and modest power envelope could be relevant, but the benchmark results show it behind the Intel part in every measured category.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE offers 10 cores, 20 threads, a 5.40 GHz boost clock, 33 MB of shared L3 cache, DDR5 support, and PCIe Gen 5. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-13800H, Intel Core i9-12900HX, Intel Xeon 6349P, and AMD Ryzen 5 150, all within 0.2% of its average score. It wins the multithread test by 43.9%, the physics test by 46.8%, and the integer math test by 61.6%. Its single-thread lead of 18.4% is the only area where the AMD part comes close, but even that remains a clear Intel victory.

In short, the data indicates that the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the stronger processor across all recorded workloads. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355G remains a competent 4-core desktop chip, but the benchmark database shows no test where it leads. A user selecting between these two on performance alone would choose the Intel part based on every metric recorded here.
