AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

# The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE and Intel Core 7 251E target fundamentally different desktop positions, and the data reflects that split clearly. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is a 4-core, 8-thread Zen 4 part with a 35 W TDP, while the Intel Core 7 251E is a 24-core, 32-thread Bartlett Lake processor with a 65 W TDP. The Intel part carries more than double the core count, a 36 MB shared L3 cache versus 8 MB, and a higher 5.60 GHz boost clock against 4.90 GHz. The Ryzen part counters with a smaller 4 nm process node, a lower 3.40 GHz base clock, and a 72nd percentile ranking across all CPUs in the database, compared to Intel's 50th percentile.

For single-threaded responsiveness, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE delivers strong results: its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1766 and Passmark single-thread score of 3828 indicate a well-tuned Zen 4 core. The Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so its actual performance cannot be quantified here. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD part is the only one with measurable benchmark results, and 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 in average benchmark score. The Intel Core 7 251E has an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals, meaning its performance profile is absent from the database entirely.

# Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins in every measurable category because the Intel Core 7 251E has no recorded benchmarks. The AMD chip's multi-threaded results are documented across Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, with scores of 1260, 5254, and 12511 respectively. Its single-threaded scores are 177 in Cinebench R15, 741 in R20, and 1766 in R23. Passmark results show a multithread score of 14403, a single-thread score of 3828, a floating-point math score of 25258, and an integer math score of 40348. Data compression reaches 162623, data encryption reaches 9224, extended instructions reach 12313, and random string sorting reaches 20134. Physics processing scores 857, and prime number finding scores 52.

The Intel Core 7 251E cannot claim any benchmark win in this comparison because no scores exist in the database. Its architectural specifications, however, suggest a different workload orientation: 24 cores, 32 threads, a 2.10 GHz base clock, and a 5.60 GHz boost clock. The AMD part's advantage lies in its efficiency profile, with a 35 W TDP and a 4 nm process node. The database shows the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's average benchmark score of 18505 places it at the 72nd percentile, while the Intel part's 50th percentile ranking reflects its unmeasured status.

# Architecture Differences

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process node at TSMC. It contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 251E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process node at Intel, with a 257 mm² die size and no transistor count recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 cache is 4.5 times larger on paper, which can matter for workloads with large working sets, but no benchmark data confirms this advantage.

Memory support diverges: the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE supports DDR5 only, while the Intel Core 7 251E supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD part's memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel part's is 89.6 GB/s, a 7.7% higher theoretical figure. Both support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part uses the Radeon 740M, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD processor is an 8000 series desktop part on AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part was released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel part on 2025-01-12. Both have locked multipliers.

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table is empty, so this comparison relies on the AMD part's recorded scores and the Intel part's absence of data. The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12511 and single-core score of 1766 provide the clearest performance reference points. Its Passmark multithread score of 14403 and single-thread score of 3828 indicate a balanced profile for a 4-core part.

The nearest rivals to the AMD part show how it positions against other processors in the database. The Intel Core i5-13420H has an average score of 18511, a 0% delta from the AMD part's 18505. The Intel Core i3-14100F averages 18519, a -0.1% delta. The Intel Core i3-13100 averages 18380, a 0.7% delta. The Intel Core 7 360 averages 18374, also a 0.7% delta. These margins are small, placing the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE in the same performance band as those Intel parts despite the core count differences.

The Intel Core 7 251E has no rivals listed and no scores, so no delta percentages can be computed against it. The database records its percentile as 50, which is below the AMD part's 72, though this percentile appears to be assigned without benchmark measurements. The AMD part's data compression score of 162623 and encryption score of 9224 give concrete numbers for those workloads, while the Intel part offers nothing comparable in the database.

The two processors differ in every major architectural category except dual-channel memory buses, ECC support, active production status, and locked multipliers. The AMD part offers lower power consumption, a smaller process node, and a smaller die, while the Intel part offers more cores, more cache, faster memory bandwidth, and newer PCIe generation. The Intel part's launch MSRP is $384, while the AMD part has no listed launch MSRP. The database contains no benchmark scores for the Intel part, so the specification comparison cannot be validated with performance measurements. The AMD part's recorded scores, however, confirm its competitive standing against nearby Intel rivals in the database.
