AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G vs AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split is clear: the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G takes 10 wins, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS takes 7. The two processors dominate different workloads, and the pattern is consistent across the recorded tests.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins every Cinebench test, from R15 through R23, in both single-core and multi-core. It also wins PassMark's extended instructions, random string sorting, and both single-thread tests. The Ryzen 5 7533HS counters with decisive wins in PassMark's data compression, data encryption, floating point math, integer math, multithread, physics, and prime number finding.

The use-case split is straightforward. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the stronger choice for lightly threaded work and anything that depends on per-core speed. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is the better pick for heavily threaded workloads that scale with core count and for tasks like compression, encryption, and math-heavy simulation.

The single-thread gap is the largest single margin in either direction. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 3550 in PassMark single-thread against 2740 for the Ryzen 5 7533HS, a 29.6% advantage. That is a massive edge for desktop responsiveness, application launch times, and any software that runs mostly on one or two threads.

The Ryzen 5 7533HS's biggest win is PassMark integer math, where it scores 50800 against 37292, a 26.6% lead. Floating point math follows at 27800 versus 23374, a 15.9% margin. These results point to the 6-core, 12-thread part being substantially faster in compute-heavy parallel tasks.

The overall averages reflect this split. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has an average benchmark score of 19364 versus 17278 for the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G. The Ryzen 5 7533HS sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G sits at the 71st percentile.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different AMD families. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is a desktop part from the 8000 series, built on Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is a mobile part from the 7000 series, using Zen 3+ architecture with the Rembrandt-R codename.

Process technology differs significantly. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses TSMC's 4 nm node, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS uses TSMC's 6 nm node. The desktop chip packs 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die. The mobile chip has no transistor count listed but uses a larger 208 mm² die.

Core and thread counts favor the mobile part. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has 6 cores and 12 threads, compared to 4 cores and 8 threads for the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G. Clock speeds favor the desktop part: the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G runs at 3.40 GHz base and 4.90 GHz boost, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS runs at 3.30 GHz base and 4.40 GHz boost.

Cache layouts differ in the L2 and L3 levels. Both use 64 KB of L1 per core. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G has 1 MB of L2 per core and 8 MB of shared L3. The Ryzen 5 7533HS has 512 KB of L2 per core but 16 MB of shared L3. The mobile chip's larger L3 helps compensate for its smaller per-core L2.

Memory support is DDR5 for both, with dual-channel buses. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G has higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s versus 76.8 GB/s for the Ryzen 5 7533HS. Only the desktop chip supports ECC memory. PCIe lane counts differ: the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G provides 14 Gen 4 lanes, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS provides 20 Gen 4 lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses the Radeon 740M, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS uses the Radeon 660M. Both have integrated GPUs, but the desktop part pairs with AMD Socket AM5, and the mobile part uses AMD Socket FP7.

Power envelopes are very different. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G has a 65 W TDP, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS has a 35 W TDP. The mobile chip delivers more multi-core performance at nearly half the power draw, a direct result of its different design targets.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Cinebench results are remarkably close. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 1245 against 1243, a 0.2% lead. Single-core R15 is a dead heat at 175 for both. R20 multi-core shows 5190 against 5183, a 0.1% margin. R20 single-core is 732 versus 731, also 0.1%. R23 multi-core is 12359 against 12342, again 0.1%. R23 single-core is 1744 versus 1742, 0.1%.

These margins are within noise. The 4-core desktop chip and the 6-core mobile chip produce essentially identical Cinebench scores, which is surprising given the core count difference. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G's higher clocks and newer architecture compensate for fewer cores in these mixed workloads.

The PassMark suite tells a different story. Data compression goes to the Ryzen 5 7533HS at 168692 versus 150567, a 10.7% lead. Data encryption is 10718 against 8607, a 19.7% margin. Floating point math is 27800 versus 23374, 15.9%. Integer math is the largest gap at 50800 versus 37292, 26.6%. Multithread is 14520 versus 13368, 7.9%. Physics is 821 versus 772, 6%. Prime number finding is 48 versus 47, 2.1%.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins the remaining PassMark tests by substantial margins. Extended instructions go 11451 versus 11219, a 2.1% edge. Random string sorting is 19703 versus 17669, an 11.5% lead. The single-thread results are decisive: 3550 versus 2740, a 29.6% advantage for the desktop chip.

The average benchmark scores confirm the overall picture. The Ryzen 5 7533HS averages 19364, which is 12.1% higher than the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G's 17278. The mobile part's wins in the math-heavy and throughput-oriented tests outweigh the desktop part's single-thread dominance in the averaging.

Nearest rival comparisons put both chips in similar company. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G sits within 0.6% of the Intel Core i5-11400F and within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 5 4500. The Ryzen 5 7533HS is within 0.7% of the Intel Core i7-8700K and essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice based on workload type. Desktop users with single-thread-heavy applications, such as older games, office productivity, or lightly threaded creative tools, should pick the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G. Its 29.6% single-thread advantage over the Ryzen 5 7533HS is the defining metric for those use cases.

Users running parallel workloads should choose the Ryzen 5 7533HS. Its 26.6% lead in integer math and 15.9% lead in floating point math make it substantially faster for rendering, simulation, compression, and encryption. The 7.9% multithread advantage and 10.7% data compression lead reinforce this direction.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G also offers practical desktop advantages. It uses the AM5 socket, supports ECC memory, and has higher memory bandwidth at 83.2 GB/s. The Ryzen 5 7533HS, by contrast, is a mobile part with a 35 W TDP, making it suitable for compact systems where power efficiency matters more than raw single-core speed.

Neither part is unlocked, so overclocking is not a factor. Both support DDR5 memory and use Gen 4 PCIe, though the mobile chip offers more lanes at 20 versus 14. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is newer, with an April 2024 release, while the Ryzen 5 7533HS launched in August 2024.

The overall average score favors the Ryzen 5 7533HS by a meaningful margin, but that average is pulled up by the math-heavy PassMark tests. For general desktop use where single-thread performance dominates, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the better fit despite its lower average score.
