AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data for the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE and the Intel Arc G3 is asymmetrical. The AMD processor has a complete set of 17 benchmark scores across Cinebench and PassMark workloads, while the Intel Arc G3 has no individual benchmark entries in the database. Consequently, the head-to-head comparison is defined entirely by the AMD part's measured results, with the Intel part's performance represented only by its aggregate status fields.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE produces a multi-core Cinebench R23 score of 10846, a single-core score of 1531, and an R20 multi-core score of 4555. These results place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 17482, which is 0.1% below the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G (average score 17507), 0.5% above the Intel Core 7 150U (average score 17395), 0.8% below the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (average score 17614), and 0.9% above the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (average score 17333). The tight clustering of these deltas, all within a 1.7 percentage point band, indicates that the 5355GE sits in a competitive mid-pack region.

In PassMark workloads, the 5355GE shows particular strengths in data compression with a score of 152885, integer math at 44665, and floating point math at 24115. Its multithread score is 12761, and its single-thread score is 3089. The extended instructions score is 10368, data encryption scores 9564, and random string sorting scores 17255. Lower scores appear in physics (552) and find prime numbers (31), which suggests that these specific workloads do not align with the processor's strengths.

The Intel Arc G3 has zero recorded benchmark scores and an average benchmark score of 0, placing it in the 50th percentile by the database's percentile metric. Because there are no measured scores for the G3, no direct win/loss tally can be established. The winsA and winsB fields both register 0, meaning the database does not currently hold a single test where the two parts were compared directly. The analysis must therefore rely on architectural and specification differences to project where each part would likely dominate.

Given the absence of Intel G3 benchmark data, the biggest "win" for the AMD part is its measurable performance profile across 17 tests. The biggest "win" for the Intel part is its aggregate percentile position of 50, though this is not supported by any individual score. The data indicates that the AMD part's 71st percentile is substantially higher than the Intel part's 50th percentile, but this gap should be interpreted cautiously, as the Intel part's percentile is based on no recorded measurements.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE wins in every category where a measured score exists, simply because the Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark entries. The AMD part delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10846 and a single-core score of 1531. It also produces a PassMark multithread score of 12761 and a single-thread score of 3089. For workloads such as data compression (152885), integer math (44665), and floating point math (24115), the 5355GE has documented results that establish a performance baseline.

The Intel Arc G3, with no scores, cannot claim a win in any measured benchmark. However, its specifications suggest where it might hold an advantage in real-world use, though no database numbers confirm this. The G3 has 14 cores versus 4, a higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz versus 4.20 GHz, a 3 nm process versus 7 nm, and more than double the memory bandwidth at 136.5 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s. These factors indicate potential superiority in heavily threaded tasks or memory-bandwidth-sensitive workloads, but the database does not provide scores to validate that projection.

For tasks that emphasize single-thread performance, the AMD part's measured single-core Cinebench R23 score of 1531 is the only data point available. The Intel part's single-core performance is unmeasured, so no comparison can be made. Similarly, for integrated graphics duties, the 5355GE uses Radeon Vega 6, while the G3 uses Arc B370, but neither has a graphics benchmark in the pack.

The clearest use-case split comes from the market segments: the AMD processor is a desktop part (AMD Socket AM4), while the Intel processor is a mobile part (Intel BGA 2540). Desktop users seeking a low-power (35 W TDP) processor with active production status would look to the 5355GE. Mobile users needing a 25 W TDP part with a 2026 release date would look to the G3.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE uses 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Arc G3 uses 14 cores and 14 threads. Base clocks are 3.60 GHz for the AMD part and 1.90 GHz for the Intel part. Boost clocks are 4.20 GHz and 4.60 GHz, respectively. TDP differs at 35 W for AMD and 25 W for Intel.

Sockets are entirely different: AMD Socket AM4 versus Intel BGA 2540. The memory support differs: DDR4 for AMD, LPDDR5X for Intel. Memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s for AMD and 136.5 GB/s for Intel. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. PCIe lanes differ: the AMD part has Gen 3 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part has Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ: Radeon Vega 6 for AMD, Arc B370 for Intel. The market segment is Desktop for AMD and Mobile for Intel. Release dates are 2024-09-04 for AMD and 2026-05-27 for Intel. The process nodes are 7 nm (TSMC) for AMD and 3 nm (Intel) for Intel.

Cache configurations also differ substantially. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 8 MB L3. The Intel part has 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. Transistor count and die size are recorded only for the AMD part: 10,700 million transistors and 180 mm². The Intel part has no listed transistor count or die size. The AMD part has a part number of 100-000001751, while the Intel part has SA4QZ. Neither processor is multiplier-unlocked, and neither has a launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is built on Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne, part of the 5000 series. The Intel Arc G3 uses the codename Panther Lake and is listed under the generation "Arc G3 (Panther Lake)". The AMD part is manufactured by AMD on a 7 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel part is manufactured by Intel on a 3 nm process.

The core counts reveal a fundamental design difference: 4 cores with 8 threads (simultaneous multithreading) for AMD, versus 14 cores with 14 threads (no multithreading implied) for Intel. The cache hierarchy differs accordingly. AMD's L3 cache is 8 MB, while Intel's L3 is 18 MB shared. The L1 and L2 caches are larger per core on the Intel part: 192 KB L1 and 2.5 MB L2 per core, versus 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core on AMD.

The memory architecture reflects different target platforms. AMD uses DDR4 with dual-channel support and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel uses LPDDR5X with dual-channel support and 136.5 GB/s bandwidth. The PCIe implementation also differs: AMD provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes, Intel provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes. Both are CPU-only lane counts.

The integrated graphics differ in branding and likely capability: Radeon Vega 6 for AMD, Arc B370 for Intel. The AMD part supports ECC memory, which is absent on the Intel part. The production status is Active for both, but the release dates differ by roughly two years, with the AMD part released in September 2024 and the Intel part in May 2026. The Intel part has no architecture field filled in the database, so the specific microarchitecture name remains unrecorded.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is the only one of the two with measured performance results. Its average benchmark score of 17482 places it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals all within a small delta: 0.1% below the Ryzen 5 4600G, 0.5% above the Core 7 150U, 0.8% below the Ryzen 3 8300GE, and 0.9% above the Ryzen 5 4500. For any user seeking an actively measured desktop processor, the 5355GE is the clear choice from the available data.

The Intel Arc G3, with no benchmark scores and an average score of 0, cannot be recommended on the basis of measured performance. Its 50th percentile ranking is unsupported by any test result. However, its specifications point to a different use case: a mobile processor with 14 cores, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, 18 MB of L3 cache, 136.5 GB/s memory bandwidth, and a 25 W TDP. These are indicators of a part designed for thin-and-light laptops where battery life and bandwidth matter more than raw single-thread scores.

The verdict splits by platform. Desktop builders with an AM4 socket who need ECC memory, a 35 W TDP, and proven scores across Cinebench and PassMark should select the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE. Mobile integrators targeting a 2026 release with LPDDR5X memory and a BGA 2540 socket would use the Arc G3, but the database provides no measured performance to validate that choice. The 5355GE wins every recorded benchmark by default, and its 71st percentile position confirms it as a solid mid-range desktop option. The Arc G3 remains an unverified entry whose performance is entirely speculative in this dataset.
