Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is built on TSMC's 4 nm process using the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 253PE uses Intel's 10 nm process, carries the Bartlett Lake codename, and does not have a recorded transistor count or die size in the database.

The core configurations differ sharply. AMD provides 4 cores and 8 threads, while Intel provides 10 cores and 20 threads. This 2.5x core advantage for Intel explains most of the multi-threaded performance gap. The AMD chip has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The Intel chip has a lower base clock of 2.50 GHz but a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 is more than four times larger, which benefits workloads with large working sets.

Memory support differs as well. AMD supports only DDR5, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both are dual-channel, but Intel's memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s versus AMD's 83.2 GB/s. Both processors support ECC memory. Intel provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes, while AMD provides PCIe Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes.

The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM5, Intel uses Socket 1700. The AMD part belongs to the 8000 series with a Ryzen 3 generation label. The Intel part is labeled Core 7 with a Bartlett Lake generation. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part launched in April 2024, the Intel part in March 2026.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core 7 253PE dominates every recorded benchmark, but the margins vary by workload type. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 24880 against AMD's 12511, a -49.7% delta. The R20 multi-core test shows 10449 versus 5254, also -49.7%. The R15 multi-core test records 2507 versus 1260, a -49.7% delta. These consistent half-score results indicate a near-uniform doubling of multi-threaded throughput.

Single-core Cinebench results follow the same pattern. R23 single-core shows 3512 for Intel and 1766 for AMD, a -49.7% delta. R20 single-core shows 1475 versus 741, a -49.8% delta. R15 single-core shows 354 versus 177, a -50% delta. The Intel part effectively doubles single-threaded rendering performance in every Cinebench version.

PassMark integer math shows the largest absolute gap: Intel scores 114158, AMD scores 40348, a -64.7% delta. Floating-point math is even more lopsided: Intel scores 80870, AMD scores 25258, a -68.8% delta. Prime number finding shows Intel at 138 versus AMD at 52, a -62.3% delta. These three tests indicate that raw compute throughput is far higher on the Intel part.

Data compression favors Intel at 339133 versus 162623, a -52% delta. Data encryption shows 18385 versus 9224, a -49.8% delta. Extended instructions show 21806 versus 12313, a -43.5% delta. Random string sorting shows 32777 versus 20134, a -38.6% delta. Physics shows 1845 versus 857, a -53.6% delta. PassMark multi-thread shows 29271 versus 14403, a -50.8% delta.

The closest contest is PassMark single-thread. Intel scores 3955, AMD scores 3828, a -3.2% delta. This is the only test where the AMD chip stays within striking distance, though it still loses. The single-thread result suggests that per-core efficiency is similar, but the Intel part's higher boost clock and larger cache likely account for the edge.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are the most consequential difference. Intel provides 10 cores and 20 threads; AMD provides 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks differ: AMD at 3.40 GHz, Intel at 2.50 GHz. Boost clocks differ: AMD at 4.90 GHz, Intel at 5.50 GHz. Thermal design power differs: AMD at 35 W, Intel at 65 W.

Cache allocation differs per level. L1 per core: AMD 64 KB, Intel 80 KB. L2 per core: AMD 1 MB, Intel 2 MB. L3 shared: AMD 8 MB, Intel 33 MB. Process node: AMD 4 nm, Intel 10 nm. Foundry: AMD uses TSMC, Intel uses Intel. Transistor count is recorded only for AMD at 20,900 million; die size only for AMD at 137 mm².

Memory support: AMD only DDR5, Intel DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth: AMD 83.2 GB/s, Intel 89.6 GB/s. PCIe: AMD Gen 4 with 14 lanes, Intel Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics: AMD Radeon 740M, Intel UHD Graphics 730. Sockets: AMD Socket AM5, Intel Socket 1700. Codename: AMD Phoenix2, Intel Bartlett Lake. Release date: AMD April 2024, Intel March 2026. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $384.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins no recorded benchmark. Its advantages are structural, not performance-based. The 35 W TDP is much lower than Intel's 65 W, making it suitable for power-constrained desktop builds. The 4 nm process from TSMC indicates a more modern manufacturing node. The smaller 4-core, 8-thread configuration aligns with light desktop duties.

The Intel Core 7 253PE wins all 17 recorded benchmarks. Its strengths are in multi-threaded rendering, where it doubles AMD's Cinebench scores. It also excels in math-heavy workloads, with floating-point and integer scores nearly three times higher. The 10-core, 20-thread setup, combined with 33 MB of L3 cache and a 5.50 GHz boost clock, delivers broad performance across every tested category.

For workloads like video encoding, 3D rendering, software compilation, or scientific computing, the Intel part is the clear choice based on the data. The AMD chip remains viable only for low-power desktop systems where the 35 W envelope and compact 4-core design are priorities. Even there, the Intel part's single-thread score is 3.2% higher, so no performance argument favors AMD.

The Verdict

The benchmark data delivers an unambiguous result: the Intel Core 7 253PE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE in every recorded test. The Intel part doubles or nearly doubles AMD's Cinebench scores across R15, R20, and R23. PassMark math tests show even larger margins, with integer and floating-point scores roughly three times higher.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE should be selected only when the 35 W TDP and 4 nm process are mandatory requirements. Its 4 cores and 8 threads limit it to basic desktop workflows. The Intel Core 7 253PE should be selected for any workload where performance matters, given its 10 cores, 20 threads, 33 MB of L3 cache, and 5.50 GHz boost clock. The recorded data shows no scenario where the AMD chip wins, so the verdict rests entirely on the Intel part's measured superiority.
