AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE vs Intel Core 5 213PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 5 213PTE dominates the head-to-head comparison, winning 15 of 17 recorded benchmarks against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE. The scale of the Intel advantage is consistent across Cinebench and PassMark workloads, with the single exception being PassMark single-thread tests where the AMD part takes a narrow lead.

In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel processor scores 21751 versus 12511 for the AMD, a 42.5% margin. The same 42.5% delta appears across every Cinebench generation tested: R15 multicore shows 2192 against 1260, R20 multicore shows 9135 against 5254, and single-core variants follow the identical pattern. R15 singlecore records 309 for Intel versus 177 for AMD, R20 singlecore records 1289 versus 741, and R23 singlecore records 3070 versus 1766. The consistency of the 42.5% gap across all six Cinebench tests indicates a fixed performance differential rather than workload-specific behavior.

PassMark results show even larger spreads in several compute-heavy categories. Floating point math delivers the second-largest gap: Intel scores 71722, AMD scores 25258, a 64.8% deficit for the AMD chip. Prime number finding shows a 66.9% gap (157 versus 52), and physics simulation shows a 61% gap (2199 versus 857). Integer math trails by 56.7% (93109 versus 40348), while multithread performance is 43.7% lower on the AMD side (25590 versus 14403).

The Intel advantage narrows in memory-related and encryption workloads but remains decisive. Data compression shows 261083 versus 162623, a 37.7% gap. Data encryption records 14413 versus 9224, a 36% gap. Random string sorting is closer at 33.1% (30106 versus 20134), and extended instructions show the smallest PassMark differential at 23.7% (16146 versus 12313).

The only AMD victories come in PassMark single-thread and singlethread tests, which are identical benchmarks recorded under two names. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE scores 3828 in both, while the Intel Core 5 213PTE scores 3718. That gives AMD a 3% edge, a modest win but a genuine one. No other benchmark in the dataset favors the AMD processor.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 213PTE wins in every multi-core workload category recorded in the database. Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multicore tests all fall to Intel by the same 42.5% margin, which indicates the advantage scales evenly with thread count across rendering tasks. PassMark multithread, physics, integer math, floating point math, and prime number finding all show Intel leads ranging from 43.7% to 66.9%. These are compute-intensive workloads where the Intel processor's larger core and thread count translate directly into higher throughput.

Intel also wins in data-oriented tasks. Compression, encryption, extended instructions, and random string sorting all favor the Intel part, with margins between 23.7% and 37.7%. The narrower margins in these tests suggest the AMD processor's memory subsystem and per-core efficiency partially compensate for its lower core count, but not enough to overcome Intel's overall advantage.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins exclusively in PassMark single-thread performance. Its 3828 score edges out Intel's 3718, a 3% lead. This is the only category where the AMD processor demonstrates superiority, and the margin is small. The AMD part also carries a lower thermal design power of 35 watts against Intel's 45 watts, though no power consumption benchmarks are recorded in the database to quantify real-world energy differences.

For workloads that depend on single-core responsiveness, the AMD chip holds a slight edge. For everything else in the measured data, the Intel Core 5 213PTE is the stronger performer, often by wide margins.

The Verdict

The benchmark data points clearly to the Intel Core 5 213PTE as the higher-performance processor. Its average benchmark score of 32924 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE averages 18505 and sits in the 72nd percentile. The Intel part's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12700 (0.1% below), AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (0.5% above), and AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (0.5% above), which places it in solid company among mainstream desktop processors.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's nearest rivals tell a different story. It sits within 0.7% of the Intel Core i3-13100 and Intel Core 7 360, and within 0.1% of the Intel Core i3-14100F. These are lower-tier parts, and the AMD processor's performance class reflects that positioning. Its single-thread win is real but narrow, and it does not offset the 15 benchmark losses.

Users who run multi-threaded applications, compile code, render scenes, or process large datasets should choose the Intel Core 5 213PTE based on the recorded scores. Users who prioritize single-thread responsiveness above all other metrics, and who can accept substantially lower multi-core throughput, may find the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE acceptable. The data does not support any other conclusion.
