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

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE and Intel Core 5 223PTE target the same desktop segment, but the data shows two fundamentally different approaches. The AMD part is a 4-core, 8-thread Zen 4 design on a 4 nm process, while the Intel part is an 8-core, 16-thread Bartlett Lake chip on a 10 nm process. The database contains complete benchmark results for the AMD processor, placing it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs with an average score of 18505. The Intel processor has no recorded benchmark scores, which makes direct comparison impossible, but its specification sheet reveals a different design philosophy: more cores, higher boost clock, larger cache, and broader memory support.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is the only one of these two with measured performance data. Its average benchmark score of 18505 places it at the 72nd percentile, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-13420H (average score 18511, delta of 0 percent), the Intel Core i3-14100F (18519, delta of -0.1 percent), the Intel Core i3-13100 (18380, delta of 0.7 percent), and the Intel Core 7 360 (18374, delta of 0.7 percent). These deltas are tiny, indicating the AMD chip sits in a tightly contested performance band where a few points separate competitors.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries, so its average score is listed as 0 and its percentile is 50. That percentile is a default placeholder, not a measured result. For any buyer relying on the database, the AMD processor offers verified performance data, while the Intel processor is an unknown quantity. The Intel chip does bring a higher boost clock (5.40 GHz versus 4.90 GHz), double the cores, and a larger L3 cache, but without recorded scores, those specifications cannot be translated into actual performance figures. The data supports choosing the AMD part for any workload where measured results matter, while the Intel part remains a speculative option based on its listed hardware.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename with no architecture name listed, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The database does not record transistor count or die size for the Intel chip. This process difference is significant: the AMD part uses a smaller manufacturing node, which typically allows higher efficiency per watt, though the database does not provide direct efficiency measurements.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. That means the Intel processor holds three times the L3 cache, which can benefit workloads with large working sets. The AMD processor has no v-cache option listed. Both chips support ECC memory, but the AMD part only accepts DDR5, while the Intel part accepts both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth figures are close: 83.2 GB/s for AMD, 89.6 GB/s for Intel.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only). The Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). That gives the Intel part a newer PCIe standard and two additional lanes, which matters for high-bandwidth add-in cards like storage controllers or certain GPUs. Integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses the Radeon 740M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The database does not include graphics benchmarks, so no performance comparison is possible.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Since the Intel Core 5 223PTE has no benchmark entries, there are no direct head-to-head results in the database. The AMD processor's individual scores, however, provide a baseline for what a 4-core, 8-thread Zen 4 chip achieves. In Cinebench R15, the AMD chip scores 1260 for multi-core and 177 for single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5254 for multi-core and 741 for single-core. In Cinebench R23, it scores 12511 for multi-core and 1766 for single-core. These single-core figures are strong relative to its multi-core output, suggesting the Zen 4 architecture handles lightly threaded tasks efficiently.

PassMark results for the AMD chip show varied strengths. Integer math scores 40348, floating point math scores 25258, and extended instructions scores 12313. Data compression scores 162623, while data encryption scores 9224. Random string sorting scores 20134. Find prime numbers scores 52, a low figure that reflects the nature of that test on a 4-core part. Physics scores 857, and multithread scores 14403. Single-thread scores 3828. The average benchmark score of 18505 is pulled up by the very high data compression result, which is more than ten times the encryption score.

The nearest rival data suggests the AMD chip is competitive with mainstream Intel parts. Against the Intel Core i5-13420H, the delta is 0 percent, meaning the two perform identically on average. Against the Intel Core i3-14100F, the AMD chip trails by 0.1 percent, a negligible margin. Against the Intel Core i3-13100, it leads by 0.7 percent. Against the Intel Core 7 360, it also leads by 0.7 percent. These margins are within noise levels, so the database effectively places the AMD chip in the same performance class as those four Intel processors.

For the Intel Core 5 223PTE, the absence of scores means no wins can be recorded. The database lists winsA as 0 and winsB as 0, with no head-to-head test data. Any analysis of the Intel chip's performance must rely solely on its specifications, which indicate a higher core count and larger cache but provide no measured evidence of how those translate into benchmark results.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every major hardware field. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads, exactly double. Base clocks are 3.40 GHz for AMD and 2.30 GHz for Intel, a 1.10 GHz gap in AMD's favor. Boost clocks are 4.90 GHz for AMD and 5.40 GHz for Intel, a 0.50 GHz gap in Intel's favor. TDP is 35 watts for AMD and 45 watts for Intel, a 10-watt difference that suggests the AMD chip draws less power at nominal operating points, though the database does not provide measured power consumption.

Sockets differ: AMD uses Socket AM5, while Intel uses Socket 1700. These are not interchangeable, so motherboard choice is dictated by the processor. Process nodes differ: 4 nm for AMD, 10 nm for Intel. The AMD chip has a listed transistor count of 20,900 million and a die size of 137 mm², while the Intel chip has neither listed. Cache sizes differ across all levels: L1 is 64 KB per core for AMD versus 80 KB per core for Intel; L2 is 1 MB per core versus 2 MB per core; L3 is 8 MB shared versus 24 MB shared. The Intel chip has a 16 MB L3 advantage.

Memory support shows the Intel chip as more flexible: it accepts DDR4 and DDR5, while the AMD chip only accepts DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but bandwidth differs slightly at 83.2 GB/s for AMD and 89.6 GB/s for Intel. PCIe support is Gen 4 with 14 lanes for AMD, Gen 5 with 16 lanes for Intel. Integrated graphics are Radeon 740M for AMD and UHD Graphics 770 for Intel. The Intel chip has a launch MSRP of $232, while the AMD chip has no launch MSRP listed. Both are production-active and have locked multipliers. Release dates differ: the AMD chip launched on 2024-04-15, while the Intel chip is dated 2026-03-08.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins in measured performance, verified by the database. Its 72nd percentile ranking and average score of 18505 come from actual benchmark runs across Cinebench and PassMark tests. Its nearest rivals all score within 0.7 percent, confirming that the chip delivers consistent, competitive results. The lower TDP of 35 watts suggests it fits into compact or power-limited desktop systems, though the database does not include thermal or power measurements. Its 4 nm process and smaller die size (137 mm²) indicate a more tightly integrated design, which can be relevant for low-profile builds. The single-core Cinebench scores (177 in R15, 741 in R20, 1766 in R23) show strong lightly threaded performance for its core count.

The Intel Core 5 223PTE wins on paper specifications. Its 8 cores and 16 threads double the thread count, which typically benefits heavily parallel workloads like video rendering or scientific simulations, though no benchmark data confirms this. The 24 MB L3 cache is three times larger than the AMD chip's 8 MB, potentially improving performance for cache-sensitive applications. The 5.40 GHz boost clock is 0.50 GHz higher, which could translate to faster single-threaded peak performance, but again, no measured scores exist. Memory flexibility with DDR4 and DDR5 support allows use with older or newer motherboards, and the 89.6 GB/s bandwidth is slightly higher. PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes offers a newer interface standard compared to AMD's Gen 4 with 14 lanes. The Intel chip also has a launch MSRP of $232, providing a reference price point that the AMD chip lacks.

The database's nearest rival comparison places the AMD chip in a specific performance tier, tied with the Intel Core i5-13420H at a 0 percent delta. That is a meaningful data point for users comparing systems. The Intel Core 5 223PTE, with no such data, cannot be positioned in any performance tier. For any workload where the user needs confidence from measured results, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is the only choice supported by the database. For a user who prioritizes core count, cache size, or memory flexibility and is willing to accept unverified specifications, the Intel Core 5 223PTE offers those features in abundance. The data does not settle the argument, but it clearly separates what is known from what is speculative.
