AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G vs Intel Core i3-13100F Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear overall victory for the Intel Core i3-13100F, which wins 14 of the 17 direct comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G. The benchmark results are close in pure CPU rendering tasks, but the Intel part pulls ahead decisively in several math and physics workloads.

In Cinebench, the margin is narrow but consistent. The Intel chip wins R15 multicore with a score of 1255 against 1245, a 0.8% lead. Single-core R15 goes to Intel at 177 versus 175, a 1.1% edge. R20 repeats the pattern: Intel scores 5232 against 5190 in multicore and 738 against 732 in single-core, both 0.8% wins. R23 multicore shows 12458 versus 12359, again 0.8% ahead, and single-core R23 is 1758 versus 1744, another 0.8% margin. These are small deltas, but they are consistent across every Cinebench iteration.

The largest gaps appear in PassMark workloads. The Intel i3-13100F dominates floating-point math with a score of 33510 versus 23374, a massive 43.4% advantage. Physics testing amplifies this: Intel scores 1055 against 772, a 36.7% lead. Prime number finding shows Intel at 61 versus 47, a 29.8% gap. Integer math favors Intel by 15.4% (43038 versus 37292), and multithreaded PassMark performance is 9.9% higher for Intel (14687 versus 13368). Data compression also goes to Intel with 168043 against 150567, an 11.6% improvement.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G takes only three wins, but they are notable. Random string sorting is a clear AMD victory: 19703 versus 16569, a 15.9% advantage. Data encryption shows AMD ahead at 8607 versus 8496, a 1.3% edge. Extended instructions are nearly tied, with AMD at 11451 versus Intel’s 11407, a 0.4% margin. Single-thread PassMark goes to Intel by 1.7% (3609 versus 3550), and the same result appears for the duplicate singlethread entry.

Overall average benchmark scores place the Intel part at 17653 against AMD’s 17278. Both CPUs sit at the 71st percentile among all processors in the database, meaning they are roughly equivalent in general standings. The nearest rival data confirms this: the i3-13100F is within 0.2% of the Intel Core i7-1255U and the Intel Core i3-14100T, while the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is within 0.2% of the Intel Core i5-12450H and 0.6% of the Intel Core i5-11400F. In practical terms, the Intel chip is a stronger all-round performer, especially in compute-heavy tasks.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design approaches. The Intel Core i3-13100F uses the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-S die, built on a 10 nm process at Intel’s own foundry. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G uses the Zen 4 architecture, with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. This gives AMD a significant process advantage in transistor density and power efficiency, though the benchmark data does not show a raw performance win from it.

Core and cache layouts differ notably. The Intel part has 4 cores and 8 threads, matching AMD’s configuration. However, Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and only 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel CPU’s larger cache hierarchy likely contributes to its wins in math and compression workloads. The AMD chip’s die size is 137 mm² with 20,900 million transistors, while Intel’s die is 163 mm² with no transistor count listed.

Memory support is another split. The Intel i3-13100F supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, giving builders flexibility in platform choice. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G supports only DDR5, but it includes a listed memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, which the Intel part does not have in the database. Both run dual-channel memory buses. The Intel CPU does not support ECC memory, while the AMD chip does, a feature often relevant for workstation or server use.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The Intel part offers PCIe Gen 5 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the AMD chip provides PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes. This means the Intel platform has access to newer, faster PCIe devices, but the AMD chip’s integrated Radeon 740M graphics eliminates the need for a separate GPU in basic systems. The Intel chip uses Socket 1700, while AMD uses Socket AM5, so platform choice dictates motherboard compatibility.

The base clock is identical at 3.40 GHz for both, and both have 4 cores and 8 threads. The AMD chip boosts higher to 4.90 GHz versus Intel’s 4.50 GHz, yet the Intel part still wins most benchmarks. The TDP difference is small: 58 W for Intel, 65 W for AMD. Neither multiplier is unlocked, so overclocking is not a supported feature for either.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-13100F is the clear choice for compute-heavy workloads. Its 43.4% lead in floating-point math and 36.7% lead in physics make it suitable for scientific simulations, rendering, and any task that relies on heavy arithmetic. The 29.8% advantage in prime number finding points to strength in integer-heavy algorithms. Data compression is 11.6% faster, which benefits file archiving and database operations. Multithreaded performance is 9.9% higher, so multi-tasking and parallel workloads will feel snappier on the Intel chip.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins in specific niche tasks. Random string sorting is 15.9% faster, which could matter for text processing or certain sorting algorithms. Data encryption is 1.3% faster, a minor edge for security-related tasks. Extended instructions are essentially tied, with AMD 0.4% ahead. More importantly, the AMD chip includes a Radeon 740M integrated GPU, making it a complete package for a basic desktop without a discrete graphics card. It also supports ECC memory, which is valuable for data integrity in professional settings.

Platform considerations favor AMD for longevity. The AM5 socket is current for AMD’s lineup, while Intel’s Socket 1700 is tied to the 13th Gen and 14th Gen parts. AMD’s DDR5-only support and higher memory bandwidth (83.2 GB/s) may appeal to builders who want a modern memory subsystem, but the lack of DDR4 support means a more expensive platform overall.

The Verdict

The data points to the Intel Core i3-13100F as the stronger processor for raw performance. It wins 14 out of 17 head-to-head benchmarks, including every Cinebench test, and its advantages in floating-point math, physics, integer math, and multithreaded workloads are substantial. Builders who prioritize computation speed, especially in rendering, simulation, or heavy multitasking, should pick the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the better option for a compact, self-contained system. Its integrated Radeon 740M graphics remove the need for a dedicated GPU, which is a decisive factor for office PCs, media centers, or budget builds without a discrete card. The ECC memory support adds professional credibility, and the 15.9% win in random string sorting shows it handles certain data manipulation tasks better. The higher boost clock of 4.90 GHz does not translate into overall wins, but the platform’s modern AM5 socket and DDR5-only support may be worth considering for future upgrades.

In direct competition, the Intel i3-13100F is the faster CPU by a noticeable margin in most benchmarks. The AMD part is the more versatile package, offering graphics and ECC at the cost of raw compute performance. The choice comes down to whether the workload demands pure processing power or an all-in-one solution. For anyone building a system with a discrete GPU, the Intel chip is the clear winner. For a no-frills desktop that can handle light gaming and productivity out of the box, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is the sensible pick.
