AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE vs AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE and AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 are both 4 nm TSMC designs, but they sit at opposite ends of the performance scale. The Ryzen AI 9 365 wins all 15 recorded head-to-head benchmarks, with an average benchmark score of 40048 against 18505 for the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE. The closest result is Passmark single-thread, where the AI 9 365 leads by only 0.3%.

The Verdict

The recorded data creates a clear separation. The Ryzen AI 9 365 wins every head-to-head test and sits at the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE sits at the 72nd percentile. The 8300GE averages 18505, placing it within 0.1% of the Intel Core i5-13420H (18511, delta 0%) and the Intel Core i3-14100F (18519, delta -0.1%). The AI 9 365 averages 40048, which is 0.1% below the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (40081, delta -0.1%) and 0.7% below the Intel Core i9-13905H (40313, delta -0.7%).

For raw performance, the data points directly to the Ryzen AI 9 365. It has more cores, more threads, a higher boost clock, more L3 cache, higher memory bandwidth, and a stronger integrated GPU. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has its own role: it is the only one of the two with ECC memory support, the only one on AMD Socket AM5, and the only desktop part. A system that requires those platform features would select the 8300GE; a workload that prioritizes benchmark throughput would select the AI 9 365.

Architecture Differences

Both processors use a 4 nm process at TSMC, but their internal designs diverge sharply. The 8300GE uses Zen 4 architecture under the Phoenix2 codename, while the AI 9 365 uses Zen 5 with a Zen 5 / Zen 5c hybrid arrangement under the Strix Point codename. The 8300GE is a 4-core, 8-thread part; the AI 9 365 is a 10-core, 20-thread part.

Clock behavior also differs. The 8300GE has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The AI 9 365 has a lower base clock of 2.00 GHz but a higher boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The AI 9 365 uses an 80 KB L1 cache per core and a 16 MB shared L3 cache, compared with 64 KB L1 per core and 8 MB shared L3 on the 8300GE. Both use 1 MB L2 per core.

The die sizes are distinct: 137 mm² for the 8300GE versus 233 mm² for the AI 9 365. The 8300GE lists 20,900 million transistors, while the AI 9 365 has no transistor count recorded in the database. Memory support differs as well: the 8300GE supports DDR5, while the AI 9 365 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X. Memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s against 89.6 GB/s. ECC memory is true on the 8300GE and false on the AI 9 365. PCIe connectivity is Gen 4 with 14 lanes on the 8300GE and Gen 4 with 16 lanes on the AI 9 365. Integrated graphics are Radeon 740M versus Radeon 880M.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split is one-sided. The Ryzen AI 9 365 wins all 15 recorded comparisons, so the 8300GE has no benchmark victories in this data set. The biggest AI 9 365 margins appear in Passmark integer math (101831 versus 40348, delta -60.4%), Passmark floating point math (62802 versus 25258, delta -59.8%), Cinebench R15 multi-core (2842 versus 1260, delta -55.7%), and Passmark find prime numbers (117 versus 52, delta -55.6%). It also leads by more than half in data compression (354510 versus 162623, delta -54.1%) and multithread (29467 versus 14403, delta -51.1%).

The 8300GE comes closest in single-thread Passmark results: 3828 versus 3841, a delta of only -0.3%. That makes the two effectively tied for a narrowly single-threaded workload in this measurement. Outside the benchmark set, the 8300GE wins on platform features. It is the only one with ECC memory support and the only one on a desktop AM5 socket. The AI 9 365 counters with the higher boost clock, double the L3 cache, more memory bandwidth, and a stronger integrated GPU.
