AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT vs Intel Core 7 253PE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive outcome across all 17 shared benchmark tests: the Intel Core 7 253PE wins every single one. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT does not record a single victory in the head-to-head comparisons.

The largest margin appears in PassMark's find prime numbers test. Intel scores 138 against AMD's 57, a delta of -58.7%. This indicates a substantial advantage in integer-heavy prime number calculation workloads.

Floating point math shows the second-largest gap. Intel records 80,870 while AMD manages 39,817, a delta of -50.8%. This more than doubles the AMD score, suggesting a strong advantage in scientific and engineering calculations that rely on floating point throughput.

PassMark physics testing shows Intel at 1,845 versus AMD's 875, a delta of -52.6%. This workload often correlates with gaming physics simulations and particle effects, areas where the Intel part appears significantly stronger.

The Cinebench suite paints a consistent picture. Across R15, R20, and R23, both single-core and multi-core variants show Intel leading by exactly -30.6% or -30.8%. For instance, Cinebench R23 multi-core has Intel at 24,880 and AMD at 17,272, while single-core shows Intel at 3,512 versus AMD's 2,438. This consistency across three Cinebench versions suggests a uniform architectural advantage rather than workload-specific behavior.

PassMark integer math shows Intel at 114,158 versus AMD's 69,566, a delta of -39.1%. Data compression follows with Intel at 339,133 and AMD at 258,882, a delta of -23.7%. Extended instructions show Intel at 21,806 against AMD's 18,041, a delta of -17.3%.

Random string sorting records Intel at 32,777 versus AMD's 26,188, a delta of -20.1%. Data encryption shows a smaller gap, with Intel at 18,385 and AMD at 15,873, a delta of -13.7%.

PassMark multi-thread scores have Intel at 29,271 and AMD at 20,325, matching the -30.6% delta seen in Cinebench multi-core tests. Single-thread PassMark scores show Intel at 3,955 versus AMD's 3,348, a delta of -15.3%.

The average benchmark score in the database places Intel at 40,557 versus AMD's 20,733. Intel's percentile ranking against all CPUs is 87, while AMD sits at 74. Intel's nearest rivals include the Intel Core 5 223PE at 40,585 (-0.1%), Intel Core Ultra X7 368H at 40,518 (0.1%), Intel Xeon 6357P at 40,630 (-0.2%), and AMD Ryzen 9 7940H at 40,431 (0.3%). AMD's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-12490F at 20,802 (-0.3%), Intel Xeon 6325P at 20,821 (-0.4%), Intel Core Ultra 5 125U at 20,826 (-0.4%), and AMD EPYC 7J13 at 20,845 (-0.5%).

Where Each One Wins

The data reveals no benchmark category where the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT takes the lead. Every recorded comparison favors the Intel Core 7 253PE.

Intel's strongest relative advantage appears in prime number finding, floating point math, and physics workloads, where deltas exceed 50%. These categories typically stress raw compute throughput and arithmetic capability.

Moderate advantages, in the 20% to 40% range, appear in data compression, integer math, random string sorting, and all Cinebench multi-core tests. These workloads benefit from higher thread counts and cache capacity.

Smaller deltas, under 20%, appear in single-thread PassMark scores, data encryption, and extended instructions. These categories still favor Intel but by narrower margins, suggesting the AMD part remains comparatively closer in single-threaded integer operations and encryption tasks.

For the AMD processor, the most competitive areas are data encryption at -13.7% and PassMark single-thread at -15.3%. These represent the smallest gaps in the entire comparison, indicating that while AMD loses every test, its relative performance is least disadvantaged in these specific workloads.

The Verdict

The database shows a clear hierarchy between these two processors. The Intel Core 7 253PE leads in all 17 recorded benchmarks, with an average score roughly 95.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (40,557 versus 20,733). Its 87th percentile ranking versus Intel's 74th percentile confirms this gap in broader context.

Users prioritizing multi-threaded rendering, scientific computation, or physics simulation should select the Intel part based on its consistent 30% to 50% advantages in Cinebench and PassMark math tests. The Intel processor also offers a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, which aligns with its single-thread wins.

Those constrained to the AMD platform, such as existing AM4 socket users, may still find the Ryzen 5 5600GT serviceable for encryption and single-threaded tasks where the delta narrows to under 16%. However, the data provides no benchmark-based reason to choose AMD over Intel when both platforms are available.

The Intel part's higher launch MSRP of $384 versus AMD's $140 reflects its superior measured performance, though the database records no direct price-to-performance ratio.
