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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database shows a decisive overall victory for the Intel Core 7 251TE, which wins 15 of 17 recorded tests. The Intel part leads by roughly 51% across all Cinebench versions, both single-core and multi-core. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel scores 25,518 against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's 12,511, a 51% margin. The single-core R23 result is equally lopsided: 3,602 versus 1,766, again a 51% gap. The same pattern holds in Cinebench R15 and R20, where the Intel part doubles the AMD score in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads.

The Intel processor's largest wins come in math-heavy PassMark tests. Floating point math shows a 70.5% advantage (85,607 vs 25,258), and integer math shows a 67.9% edge (125,739 vs 40,348). Prime number finding is 62.9% faster (140 vs 52), and data encryption is 58.4% ahead (22,176 vs 9,224). Data compression follows at 51.4% (334,399 vs 162,623). The multi-thread PassMark score lands at 30,022 for Intel versus 14,403 for AMD, a 52% difference.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins only two tests, both identical single-thread PassMark runs. It scores 3,828 versus Intel's 3,568, a 7.3% advantage. This shows the AMD chip's Zen 4 core design delivers stronger per-thread integer throughput in PassMark's single-thread workload, but it is the sole area where the AMD part leads. The Intel part counters with a 27.5% win in extended instructions (16,974 vs 12,313) and a 49.2% win in random string sorting (39,643 vs 20,134). Physics simulation also favors Intel by 55.8% (1,938 vs 857).

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is built on Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. It packs 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 251TE uses Bartlett Lake architecture on Intel's 10 nm process, with a larger 215 mm² die and no transistor count listed in the database.

Core counts differ sharply. The AMD chip provides 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip offers 24 cores and 32 threads. Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and a much larger 36 MB of shared L3.

Both support ECC memory, but memory compatibility differs. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel access and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. PCIe connectivity also differs: AMD uses Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

Integrated graphics separate the two as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE carries Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel Core 7 251TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. Both have locked multipliers, meaning neither supports overclocking via multiplier adjustment.

The Intel part also has a higher percentile ranking (88th vs 72nd) and a higher average benchmark score (41,650 vs 18,505). The AMD part has a higher PassMark single-thread score (3,828 vs 3,568), but the Intel part wins every other recorded benchmark.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the Intel Core 7 251TE is the stronger processor in nearly every measurable workload. Its 24 cores and 32 threads, combined with a 5.40 GHz boost clock and 36 MB of L3 cache, produce benchmark scores that double or nearly double the AMD part across Cinebench and most PassMark tests. The Intel part sits in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, compared to the AMD part's 72nd percentile.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is not without merit. It wins the PassMark single-thread test by 7.3%, and its 4 nm process and Zen 4 architecture deliver a higher base clock (3.40 GHz vs 1.40 GHz) and a lower TDP (35 W vs 45 W). For workloads that rely heavily on single-threaded PassMark integer operations, the AMD chip is the better pick. However, the Intel part's 51% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 52% lead in PassMark multi-thread make it the dominant choice for multi-threaded tasks.

The Intel part also offers more memory flexibility with DDR4 and DDR5 support, higher memory bandwidth (89.6 GB/s vs 83.2 GB/s), and faster PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. Its larger L3 cache (36 MB vs 8 MB) likely contributes to its wide benchmark margins. The AMD part counters with a smaller die (137 mm² vs 215 mm²) and a more efficient process node, but these advantages do not translate into benchmark wins outside the single-thread PassMark test.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 251TE wins in all Cinebench workloads, including R15, R20, and R23 in both single-core and multi-core variants. It also wins every PassMark test except single-thread. The largest Intel advantages appear in floating point math (70.5% ahead), integer math (67.9% ahead), and prime number finding (62.9% ahead). Data encryption (58.4%), physics (55.8%), and multi-thread (52%) also strongly favor Intel.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins only the PassMark single-thread test, with a 7.3% margin over Intel. This indicates the AMD chip's per-core architecture is competitive in lightly threaded integer workloads, but the Intel part's higher boost clock (5.40 GHz vs 4.90 GHz) and larger core count overwhelm it elsewhere. The AMD part's 4 nm process and 35 W TDP make it a lower-power option, though the database records no power efficiency benchmarks to quantify that advantage.

For users prioritizing multi-threaded rendering, video encoding, or scientific computing, the Intel Core 7 251TE is the clear choice based on recorded scores. For those running single-threaded applications that mirror PassMark's single-thread workload, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE offers a measurable edge. The Intel part's 88th percentile ranking and 41,650 average score, versus the AMD part's 72nd percentile and 18,505 average, summarize the overall performance hierarchy.
