Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results are one-sided. Across all 17 recorded benchmark tests, the Intel Core 7 253PTE wins every single one. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G records zero wins.

The largest deltas appear in the PassMark integer math test. The Intel part scores 119552 against 37292 for AMD, a delta of -68.8%. Floating point math shows a -65.2% delta, with Intel at 67209 and AMD at 23374. These two tests highlight the extreme difference in raw compute throughput.

The Cinebench suite shows consistent deltas around -41.9%. In Cinebench R23 multicore, Intel scores 21276 versus 12359 for AMD. In R23 singlecore, Intel scores 3003 versus 1744 for AMD. The R20 tests show the same pattern: multicore 8935 versus 5190, singlecore 1261 versus 732. The R15 tests show 2144 versus 1245 in multicore and 302 versus 175 in singlecore.

PassMark multithread shows Intel at 25031 versus 13368 for AMD, a -46.6% delta. PassMark physics shows 1318 versus 772, a -41.4% delta. Data compression shows 275828 versus 150567, a -45.4% delta. Data encryption shows 15500 versus 8607, a -44.5% delta.

The smallest delta appears in the PassMark single-thread tests. Intel scores 3794 versus 3550 for AMD, only -6.4%. This indicates the AMD chip's single-core performance is comparatively close to the Intel part, even though the Intel part still leads. Extended instructions show a -33% delta (17099 versus 11451), and random string sorting shows -30.2% (28227 versus 19703). Find prime numbers shows -42.7% (82 versus 47).

Where Each One Wins

The data shows no benchmark category where the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G comes out ahead. The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins all 17 recorded tests. However, the scale of the win varies by workload type.

The Intel part shows its strongest advantage in integer math and floating point math, with deltas exceeding 65%. These workloads benefit heavily from the Intel processor's 10 cores and 20 threads versus the AMD part's 4 cores and 8 threads. The PassMark multithread test also shows a significant gap at -46.6%.

The AMD processor's closest contest appears in single-threaded workloads. The PassMark single-thread delta is only -6.4%, which is the smallest gap in the entire benchmark set. This suggests the Zen 4 architecture delivers competitive single-core performance despite the core count disadvantage. In extended instructions and random string sorting, the deltas of -33% and -30.2% are smaller than the multicore-heavy tests, but still firmly in Intel's favor.

For users prioritizing memory flexibility, the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD part only supports DDR5. The Intel part also provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus Gen 4 with 14 lanes on the AMD part. The Intel processor's larger L3 cache at 33 MB versus 8 MB provides a substantial capacity advantage for cache-sensitive workloads.

The Verdict

The benchmark record is unambiguous. The Intel Core 7 253PTE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G across every measured workload in the database. The average benchmark score of 34962 for Intel versus 17278 for AMD places the Intel part roughly 102% higher. The percentile ranking confirms this: 84th percentile for Intel versus 71st percentile for AMD.

The core and thread counts explain much of the divide. Ten cores and 20 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads create a massive throughput gap in multithreaded tests. The Intel part also boosts higher at 5.40 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, and carries over four times the L3 cache.

The AMD processor does have advantages in the specification sheet. It uses a smaller 4 nm process versus Intel's 10 nm, and it has a higher base clock at 3.40 GHz versus 1.80 GHz. The AMD part also has a lower TDP advantage reversed: Intel shows 45 watts versus AMD's 65 watts, meaning the Intel part delivers far higher performance within a lower thermal envelope.

For systems where the higher core count, larger cache, PCIe Gen 5 support, and dual memory type compatibility matter, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the clear choice based on the recorded data. For workloads that are predominantly single-threaded, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G narrows the gap considerably, but it still does not win any single benchmark test. The database shows no scenario where the AMD processor takes the lead.

The Intel part's launch MSRP is $384. The AMD part has no listed launch MSRP in the database. Given the performance differential across all 17 tests, the Intel Core 7 253PTE delivers the higher measured performance in every category recorded.
