AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE vs Intel Core 5 223PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark record shows a complete sweep for the Intel Core 5 223PE across all 17 recorded comparisons. The Intel part wins every single test, but the margin varies dramatically depending on workload type. The closest contest appears in single-threaded PassMark testing, where the Intel chip scores 4219 against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's 3828, a 9.3% advantage. That relatively modest gap suggests the AMD architecture holds its own when only one core is active.

The multi-threaded results tell a different story. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 5 223PE posts 26455 versus the AMD's 12511, a 52.7% deficit for the Ryzen part. The same 52.7% delta appears in Cinebench R15 and R20 multi-core tests, indicating a consistent scaling advantage for the Intel chip when all cores engage. The Intel processor has 8 cores and 16 threads, double the AMD's 4 cores and 8 threads, which explains much of this gap.

The most lopsided results appear in PassMark's floating point math and prime number tests. The Intel part scores 76468 in floating point math, 67% ahead of the AMD's 25258. In the find prime numbers test, the Intel chip's 159 score dwarfs the AMD's 52, a 67.3% margin. These extreme deltas point to significantly different execution resource allocation for math-heavy workloads.

Data compression and encryption show similar patterns. The Intel chip compresses at 346623 versus 162623, a 53.1% edge, while encryption scores 18448 against 9224, a 50% difference. Extended instructions land at 24672 for Intel versus 12313 for AMD, a 50.1% gap. Random string sorting is the smallest multi-threaded delta at 43.8%, with Intel scoring 35798 against 20134.

Physics simulation favors Intel by 65.6% (2493 versus 857), and integer math shows a 59.6% advantage (99819 versus 40348). The multithread PassMark score gives Intel 31124 versus AMD's 14403, a 53.7% lead. Across every metric, the Intel Core 5 223PE delivers between 9.3% and 67.3% higher performance.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE does not win any recorded benchmark. Zero wins out of seventeen tests. However, the data reveals where the AMD part is least disadvantaged, which matters for certain use cases. The 9.3% single-thread gap means lightly threaded applications like older productivity software or basic web workloads will feel similar. The 43.8% random string sorting delta is the smallest multi-threaded deficit, suggesting the AMD chip handles sorting and organization tasks relatively better than pure math workloads.

The Intel Core 5 223PE wins decisively everywhere else. For rendering, encoding, compilation, or any workload that uses all cores, the Intel processor's 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides roughly double the throughput. The 67% lead in floating point math and prime number finding makes it the clear choice for scientific computing, financial modeling, or cryptography. The 50% encryption advantage supports server-side workloads where data security processing matters.

The pattern in the data suggests the AMD part behaves like an efficient low-power processor for everyday tasks, while the Intel chip functions as a mainstream performance processor. The AMD's 35 watt TDP against Intel's 65 watt TDP indicates the Ryzen part targets power-conscious deployments, though the database records no direct power efficiency metric. The AMD's 72nd percentile versus the Intel's 87th percentile among all CPUs places the Intel part in a higher overall performance tier.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing and design philosophies. AMD builds the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE on a 4 nm TSMC process with 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry for the Core 5 223PE, with no transistor count or die size recorded. The AMD uses Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, while Intel's Bartlett Lake represents a different design lineage.

Core configuration differs substantially. AMD provides 4 cores and 8 threads, Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache hierarchies also diverge. AMD allocates 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. Intel gives 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB shared L3. The Intel L3 cache is three times larger, which helps maintain higher hit rates for repeated data access patterns.

Memory support shows another split. Both support dual-channel memory and ECC, but AMD only works with DDR5, while Intel accepts both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth slightly favors Intel at 89.6 GB/s versus AMD's 83.2 GB/s. PCIe connectivity differs as well, with AMD offering Gen 4 at 14 CPU lanes and Intel offering Gen 5 at 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics also differ. AMD includes Radeon 740M, Intel includes UHD Graphics 730. The database does not record graphics benchmark scores, so direct comparison remains qualitative. Socket compatibility separates the platforms completely: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD's base clock runs at 3.40 GHz with a 4.90 GHz boost, while Intel starts at 2.90 GHz and boosts to 5.20 GHz. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data strongly favors the Intel Core 5 223PE for any performance-sensitive application. Across all recorded benchmarks, the Intel chip delivers between 9.3% and 67.3% higher scores. The multi-core advantage of roughly 53% in Cinebench tests and 54% in PassMark multithread comes directly from having twice the cores and threads. The L3 cache size difference, 24 MB versus 8 MB, also contributes to the Intel part's consistent lead.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE still occupies a distinct position. Its 35 watt TDP, 4 nm process, and smaller transistor count suggest it prioritizes power efficiency over raw throughput. The 9.3% single-thread deficit means the AMD part remains serviceable for basic desktop tasks, and its 72nd percentile ranking indicates it outperforms most CPUs in the database. However, for workloads that stress all cores, the Intel part's 87th percentile ranking and 40585 average benchmark score versus the AMD's 18505 leave little room for debate.

The Intel Core 5 223PE also offers platform advantages. PCIe Gen 5 support, dual memory type compatibility, and a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz give it flexibility for future expansions. The AMD platform counters with a more modern 4 nm process and a smaller die, which typically translates to lower power draw per operation, though the database does not record direct power efficiency measurements for comparison.

The launch MSRP for the Intel Core 5 223PE is $232. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has no recorded launch MSRP in the database. For system builders, the Intel part delivers superior performance in every measured category, while the AMD part offers a lower power envelope and a newer manufacturing process.
