The Cinebench results are similarly consistent. R15 multicore is 1260 versus 3163, delta -60.2. R15 singlecore is 177 versus 446, delta -60.3. R20 multicore is 5254 versus 13183, delta -60.1. R20 singlecore is 741 versus 1861, delta -60.2. R23 multicore is 12511 versus 31390, delta -60.1. R23 singlecore is 1766 versus 4431, delta -60.1. The smallest head-to-head margin is Passmark single-thread, where AMD scores 3828 and Intel scores 4389, delta -12.8. The duplicate Passmark singlethread field records the same two scores. No head-to-head benchmark favors AMD.

Where Each One Wins

The database assigns zero wins to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE in this comparison. Every workload category in the recorded head-to-head set, from Cinebench rendering to Passmark math, encryption, compression, sorting, and physics, produces an Intel win. The closest result, Passmark single-thread, still leaves AMD 12.8% behind Intel.

The broader percentile data reinforces the split. AMD's 72nd percentile and average score of 18505 put it near Intel Core i5-13420H (18511, delta 0), Intel Core i3-14100F (18519, delta -0.1), Intel Core i3-13100 (18380, delta 0.7), and Intel Core 7 360 (18374, delta 0.7). Intel's 91st percentile and average score of 55919 put it near Intel Core i9-14900HX (56004, delta -0.2), AMD Ryzen AI Max 390 (56273, delta -0.6), AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470 (56306, delta -0.7), and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3955WX (56555, delta -1.1). The nearest-rival sets confirm that the Intel part competes in a higher performance class.

Architecture Differences

The two designs differ at the architecture level. AMD uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built by TSMC on a 4 nm process. The database records 20,900 million transistors and a 137 mm² die size for AMD. Intel uses the Bartlett Lake codename and a 10 nm Intel process; its architecture name, transistor count, and die size are not listed.

Core organization follows different approaches. AMD supplies 4 cores and 8 threads. Intel supplies 10 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks are 3.40 for AMD and 3.50 for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.90 and 5.70 respectively.

Cache hierarchies also differ. AMD has 64 KB L1 and 1 MB L2 per core, with 8 MB shared L3. Intel has 80 KB L1 and 2 MB L2 per core, with 33 MB shared L3.

Memory and I/O paths are distinct. AMD supports DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth and 14 PCIe Gen 4 lanes. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 over a dual-channel bus with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth and 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. Both parts have ECC memory support set to true. AMD integrates Radeon 740M graphics; Intel integrates UHD Graphics 770. The sockets are AMD Socket AM5 for AMD and Intel Socket 1700 for Intel.
