AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE vs Intel Core 7 253PTE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a decisive overall victory for the Intel Core 7 253PTE, which wins 15 of the 17 head-to-head comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE takes only two wins, both in single-thread PassMark tests, and even those are narrow.

In Cinebench, the Intel part leads by a consistent margin across every version. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel Core 7 253PTE scores 21,276 against the AMD's 12,511, a 41.2% advantage. The single-core R23 result follows the same pattern: 3,003 versus 1,766, again a 41.2% gap. Cinebench R20 multi-core shows 8,935 versus 5,254, and R20 single-core shows 1,261 versus 741. The oldest test, Cinebench R15, records 2,144 versus 1,260 in multi-core and 302 versus 177 in single-core. In every Cinebench workload, the delta sits at 41.2% or 41.4%, indicating a stable performance ceiling between the two designs.

PassMark integer math delivers the largest single delta in the entire comparison. The Intel chip scores 119,552, while the AMD chip scores 40,348, a 66.3% deficit for the Ryzen part. Floating-point math also heavily favors Intel: 67,209 versus 25,258, a 62.4% gap. These are the two biggest wins for the Intel processor in the dataset.

Multi-threaded PassMark performance shows the Intel part at 25,031 against the AMD's 14,403, a 42.5% difference. Data compression follows at 275,828 versus 162,623, a 41% gap. Data encryption records 15,500 versus 9,224, a 40.5% difference. Physics simulation in PassMark puts the Intel part at 1,318 versus 857, a 35% lead. Prime number finding shows 82 versus 52, a 36.6% gap. Extended instruction workloads are closer in relative terms: 17,099 versus 12,313, a 28% difference. Random string sorting also lands at a 28.7% gap, with 28,227 versus 20,134.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's only wins come in PassMark single-thread and the duplicate PassMark singlethread entry, where it posts 3,828 versus 3,794. The delta is just 0.9%, a marginal edge. Notably, the Intel part's single-thread PassMark score is still strong, and the AMD advantage is small enough that it does not offset the Intel lead in any multi-threaded or compute-heavy workload.

Looking at the wider database context, the Intel Core 7 253PTE sits at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE sits at the 72nd percentile. The Intel part's average benchmark score is 34,962, compared to 18,505 for the AMD. The Intel chip's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13800H at 34,988, Intel Core i9-12900HX at 35,003, Intel Xeon 6349P at 34,890, and AMD Ryzen 5 150 at 34,881, all within 0.2% or less. The AMD part's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-13420H at 18,511, Intel Core i3-14100F at 18,519, Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380, and Intel Core 7 360 at 18,374, again all within 0.7% or less. This places the two processors in distinctly different performance brackets despite both being desktop parts.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear performance hierarchy. The Intel Core 7 253PTE is the stronger processor in nearly every recorded workload, with particularly large margins in integer math, floating-point math, and all Cinebench tests. Its 84th percentile ranking and average score of 34,962 place it alongside the Intel Core i7-13800H, Intel Core i9-12900HX, and Intel Xeon 6349P, all within 0.2%. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE, at the 72nd percentile with an average of 18,505, competes with the Intel Core i5-13420H, Intel Core i3-14100F, Intel Core i3-13100, and Intel Core 7 360, all within 0.7%.

For workloads that rely on multi-threaded throughput, the Intel Core 7 253PTE is the clear choice. The 41.2% Cinebench R23 multi-core lead and the 66.3% integer math advantage show that the Intel part delivers substantially more compute capacity. For single-threaded PassMark tasks, the AMD part holds a marginal 0.9% edge, but that narrow win does not compensate for the Intel processor's dominance elsewhere. Buyers prioritizing raw multi-core and math-heavy performance should select the Intel Core 7 253PTE. Those whose workloads are strictly single-threaded and who prefer the AMD platform may consider the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE, but the recorded data offers little other reason to favor it.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE has 10 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks also diverge: the AMD runs at 3.40 GHz, the Intel at 1.80 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the order, with the Intel part reaching 5.40 GHz versus 4.90 GHz for the AMD. Thermal design power differs as well, with the AMD rated at 35 W and the Intel at 45 W.

Socket compatibility splits the field: the AMD uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support differs, with the AMD limited to DDR5 and the Intel supporting both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but memory bandwidth is higher on the Intel part at 89.6 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity also differs. The AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics are different: the AMD uses Radeon 740M, the Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The Intel part carries a launch MSRP of $384; the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

The release dates are far apart. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE launched on 2024-04-15, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE launched on 2026-03-08. Both are listed as Active in production status.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is built on the Zen 4 architecture with the codename Phoenix2, part of the 8000 series. It uses a 4 nm process node manufactured by TSMC, with 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. Cache is organized as 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE uses the Bartlett Lake codename and is built on a 10 nm process node manufactured by Intel. The database records no transistor count or die size for this part. Its cache layout is different: 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 cache aligns with the Intel part's higher core count and thread count.

The architectural differences explain much of the benchmark gap. The Intel part's 10 cores and 20 threads, combined with 33 MB of shared L3, give it a substantial advantage in multi-threaded and cache-sensitive workloads. The AMD part's smaller 4-core, 8-thread design with 8 MB of L3 is better suited to power-constrained scenarios, reflected in its 35 W TDP versus the Intel's 45 W. The AMD's higher base clock of 3.40 GHz versus 1.80 GHz suggests a design tuned for efficiency at lower power, while the Intel part's 5.40 GHz boost clock indicates headroom for burst performance.

The process node difference is also notable. The AMD part uses a 4 nm TSMC process, while the Intel part uses a 10 nm Intel process. The AMD's denser process allows 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die, whereas the Intel part's transistor count and die size are not recorded. The AMD's smaller L3 cache and lower core count reflect its position as a power-efficient desktop part, while the Intel's larger cache and core configuration target higher throughput.

Both processors support ECC memory and dual-channel buses, but the Intel part adds DDR4 support alongside DDR5, which broadens platform compatibility. The AMD part's PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes is a generation behind the Intel's PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes, giving the Intel platform more bandwidth for expansion devices. Integrated graphics differ as well, with the AMD using Radeon 740M and the Intel using UHD Graphics 730, though the database does not include graphics benchmark results for either.
