Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a complete sweep for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 across all 15 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G failing to secure a single win. The largest margin appears in PassMark integer math, where the Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 101,831 against 37,292, a delta of 63.4 percent. Floating point math shows a similar pattern, with 62,802 versus 23,374, a 62.8 percent gap. These two results indicate that the Ryzen AI 9 365 delivers more than two and a half times the raw arithmetic throughput in both integer and floating point workloads.

Multi-threaded rendering tests reinforce this dominance. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, the Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 2,842 against 1,245, a 56.2 percent advantage. The Cinebench R23 multi-core test narrows the gap to 33.9 percent, with scores of 18,698 and 12,359 respectively. The PassMark multithread score of 29,467 versus 13,368 represents a 54.6 percent lead. These results align with the core count disparity, as the Ryzen AI 9 365 offers 10 cores and 20 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads on the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G.

Single-thread performance tells a different story, with a much tighter margin. The Ryzen AI 9 365 leads PassMark single-thread with 3,841 against 3,550, a modest 7.6 percent advantage. Cinebench R23 single-core shows a 12.4 percent gap, with 1,992 versus 1,744. Cinebench R15 single-core shows the widest single-thread delta at 42.2 percent, with 303 versus 175. The single-thread results indicate that while the Ryzen AI 9 365 still wins, the per-core advantage is far smaller than the multi-core gap.

The Verdict

The benchmark data shows a clear hierarchy between these two processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 wins every recorded head-to-head comparison, with deltas ranging from 7.6 percent in single-thread workloads to 63.4 percent in integer math. The Ryzen AI 9 365 also holds a significantly higher percentile ranking at 87 versus 71, and its average benchmark score of 40,048 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Core i9-13905H, while the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G at 17,278 sits near the Intel Core i5-12450H and AMD Ryzen 5 4500.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G remains relevant only for specific desktop scenarios. It uses AMD Socket AM5, targets the desktop segment, and supports ECC memory. Its 65 W TDP and 4.90 GHz boost clock suit a desktop environment, and its 4-core, 8-thread configuration with 8 MB of L3 cache is sufficient for lighter workloads. The Radeon 740M integrated graphics provide display output capability without a discrete GPU.

The Ryzen AI 9 365 is the stronger processor by every measured metric. Its 10-core, 20-thread configuration with 16 MB of L3 cache and Zen 5 architecture delivers the multi-threaded lead seen across Cinebench and PassMark tests. The 28 W TDP makes it a mobile-focused part, consistent with its FP8 socket and mobile market segment. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and support for LPDDR5X further align it with mobile platforms.

For desktop users on AM5 who need ECC support, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the only option between these two, as the Ryzen AI 9 365 does not support ECC memory and uses a different socket. For workloads that scale with cores, threads, and cache, the Ryzen AI 9 365 delivers between 33.9 percent and 63.4 percent more performance depending on the test. The single-thread gap is smaller, but the Ryzen AI 9 365 still leads in every single-thread test. The data does not record a single benchmark where the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G comes out ahead.
