AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded database places the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G and Intel Core 7 251E in very different positions. The AMD part has a full benchmark suite, an average score of 17278, and sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The Intel part has no recorded benchmark scores, an average score of zero, and sits at the 50th percentile. The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, and neither chip records a win in that comparison. As such, the data cannot declare a direct performance victor.

What the data does show is a clear split in intended roles. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor on AMD Socket AM5, built on Zen 4 architecture with a 4 nm process node from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. Its benchmark results cover single-thread, multi-thread, and specialized workloads, with a multithread score of 13368 and a single-thread score of 3550 in PassMark. The Intel Core 7 251E is a 24-core, 32-thread desktop processor on Intel Socket 1700, built on Bartlett Lake with a 10 nm process node from Intel. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, has a larger 36 MB shared L3 cache, and offers Gen 5 PCIe with 16 lanes.

From the data alone, the AMD chip is the one with measurable performance evidence. Users who require verified benchmark numbers for productivity or content creation should look at the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G. The Intel chip, with no scores in the database, cannot be evaluated on the same basis. Its higher core count and larger cache suggest a different design target, but the absence of recorded measurements means no performance claim can be made from this database. The verdict is straightforward: the AMD part offers documented results across many tests, while the Intel part remains an unknown quantity in the recorded data.

Where Each One Wins

Because the head-to-head benchmark list is empty, the wins must be inferred from the available data. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins in every category where a score exists. It records 1245 in Cinebench R15 multicore, 175 in R15 singlecore, 5190 in R20 multicore, 732 in R20 singlecore, 12359 in R23 multicore, and 1744 in R23 singlecore. In PassMark tests, it scores 150567 in data compression, 8607 in data encryption, 11451 in extended instructions, 47 in find prime numbers, 23374 in floating point math, 37292 in integer math, 13368 in multithread, 772 in physics, 19703 in random string sorting, and 3550 in single thread.

The Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded wins because no benchmark scores exist for it. Its specification sheet indicates strengths in core count and cache: 24 cores versus 4, 32 threads versus 8, and 36 MB L3 versus 8 MB. The data also shows a higher boost clock of 5.60 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, and a higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s. These are architectural advantages on paper, but they do not translate to recorded benchmark wins in this database.

For users who rely on measured performance, the AMD chip wins by default in every test category. For users who prioritize core count and cache capacity, the Intel part appears designed for heavily parallel workloads, but the data cannot confirm that advantage without scores. The database shows the AMD chip with a 71st percentile rank among all CPUs, while the Intel chip sits at the 50th percentile, though that percentile is based on no measurements.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers, process nodes, and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses Zen 4 architecture with the codename Phoenix2. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 4 nm process node, with 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty. No direct comparison scores exist for these two processors in the database. However, the AMD chip has a full set of individual benchmark scores that can be examined on their own merits.

In Cinebench R23 multicore, the AMD chip scores 12359. In R23 singlecore, it scores 1744. The ratio between multicore and singlecore is roughly 7.1 to 1, which reflects the 4-core, 8-thread design. In R20, the multicore score is 5190 and the singlecore score is 732. In R15, the multicore score is 1245 and the singlecore score is 175.

In PassMark multithread, the AMD chip scores 13368. In PassMark single thread, it scores 3550. The multithread score is 3.8 times the single-thread score, which is consistent with a 4-core, 8-thread processor that scales well but not linearly. In integer math, the score is 37292, and in floating point math, it is 23374. The integer score is 1.6 times the floating point score.

Data compression scores 150567, while data encryption scores 8607. Extended instructions score 11451. Random string sorting scores 19703. Physics scores 772. Find prime numbers scores 47.

These numbers place the AMD chip at the 71st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-12450H with an average score of 17239 and a delta of 0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen 3 210 with an average score of 17321 and a delta of -0.2 percent, the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 with an average score of 17333 and a delta of -0.3 percent, and the Intel Core i5-11400F with an average score of 17177 and a delta of 0.6 percent.

The Intel Core 7 251E has no benchmark scores, no nearest rivals, and an average benchmark score of 0. It sits at the 50th percentile, which appears to be a default value rather than a measured result. The data cannot show any head-to-head wins for the Intel part because there are no measurements to compare.

The biggest win for the AMD chip is in data compression, where 150567 is a high absolute number. The biggest win for the Intel chip is in specifications, specifically the 24-core count and 36 MB L3 cache, but these are not benchmark wins. Without recorded performance, the Intel part cannot claim a single test victory in this database.
