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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has a substantial number of recorded benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmark scores at all. This makes a direct comparison of measured performance impossible. The data for the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE shows a multi-threaded PassMark score of 14,403, a single-thread score of 3,828, and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,511. In Cinebench R15, the AMD part scores 1,260 multi-core and 177 single-core. The Intel part has an average benchmark score of 0, which places it at the 50th percentile of all CPUs, whereas the AMD chip sits at the 72nd percentile with an average score of 18,505.

Because the head-to-head benchmark array is empty, there are no direct comparison scores available. The only comparable data comes from the AMD part's nearest rivals. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is essentially tied with the Intel Core i5-13420H, which has an average score of 18,511, a delta of 0 percent. It is also within a rounding error of the Intel Core i3-14100F, which scores 18,519 and is 0.1 percent behind. The AMD chip leads the Intel Core i3-13100 by 0.7 percent (18,380) and the Intel Core 7 360 by 0.7 percent (18,374). These figures indicate that the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is competitive with recent Intel desktop and mobile parts in average benchmark performance, despite having fewer cores.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no wins recorded in the database, and the AMD part also has zero wins, since no direct tests were run. The performance picture is therefore one-sided: the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has a complete set of measurements, while the Intel Core 5 223PQE has none. For any workload that relies on the recorded tests, the AMD processor is the only option with verified data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their design origins. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process from TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process from Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded. The AMD part is from the 8000 series, while the Intel part has no series designation.

Core and thread counts differ significantly. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. This gives the Intel processor twice the logical processing capacity on paper. Cache configurations also favor Intel: the AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor's larger L3 cache (24 MB versus 8 MB) could benefit workloads with large working sets.

Clock speeds are higher on the Intel side. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE runs at 3.40 GHz base and 4.90 GHz boost. The Intel part also has a much higher thermal design power: 125 watts versus 35 watts for AMD. This reflects the Intel chip's higher core count and clocks, but it also means the AMD part is far more power-efficient.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a higher recorded bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity is different: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes, while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 740M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

The Verdict

The data strongly favors the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE for anyone who needs verified benchmark results today. It has a complete set of measurements across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark tests, with an average score of 18,505 and a 72nd percentile ranking among all CPUs. The Intel Core 5 223PQE has no recorded benchmarks, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of 0. From a pure data availability perspective, the AMD part is the only one with evidence of performance.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE, however, offers a stronger specification sheet. It has 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, a higher base and boost clock (4.00/5.50 GHz versus 3.40/4.90 GHz), more L3 cache (24 MB versus 8 MB), and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its 125-watt TDP suggests it is designed for higher sustained performance, while the AMD part's 35-watt TDP indicates a focus on efficiency. The Intel chip also supports PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, while AMD uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes.

Which processor to pick depends on priorities. If the user values measured performance and efficiency, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is the clear choice based on the database. If the user values raw specification headroom, higher core counts, and faster clocks, the Intel Core 5 223PQE is the stronger option on paper, but with no benchmark evidence to confirm it.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins in every category where measured data exists. It has a recorded average benchmark score of 18,505, a 72nd percentile ranking, and a full suite of Cinebench and PassMark results. Its 35-watt TDP makes it a low-power option for compact systems, and its 4 nm process node indicates modern manufacturing efficiency. For workloads where verified performance is required, such as data compression (PassMark score of 162,623), floating-point math (25,258), or integer math (40,348), the AMD part has concrete numbers.

The Intel Core 5 223PQE wins on specification-driven advantages. Its 8 cores and 16 threads provide double the logical processors of the AMD chip. Its 5.50 GHz boost clock is the highest between the two. The 24 MB L3 cache is three times larger than the AMD part's 8 MB. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering more flexibility in platform memory selection. The higher memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes give it a more expansive connectivity profile. The Intel chip's 125-watt TDP suggests it can sustain higher clocks under load, though no benchmark data confirms this.

In workloads that benefit from higher core counts and larger caches, such as rendering, compilation, or heavy multitasking, the Intel Core 5 223PQE has the architectural advantage. In workloads where power efficiency, verified performance, and a modern 4 nm process matter, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is the only part with evidence to back its claims.
