The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel part does not. The AMD chip does not support ECC memory, and neither does the Intel chip. The AMD chip uses its Cezanne design with 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel chip uses 6 cores and 6 threads. The base clock for AMD is 3.40 GHz, for Intel it is 1.50 GHz. Both list the same boost clock of 4.40 GHz.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE and the Intel Core 5 315. The AMD part has an empty benchmark array, so there are no recorded scores for Cinebench or Passmark tests. The Intel part, however, has 17 recorded benchmark results across multiple test suites.

For the Intel Core 5 315, the Cinebench R15 multicore score is 1308, with a single-core score of 184. The R20 multicore score is 5452, and the single-core score is 769. The R23 multicore score is 12981, with a single-core score of 1832. These figures show a multicore advantage of roughly 7x over single-core in R23, which is expected for a 6-thread part.

Passmark results for the Intel chip include data compression at 146143, data encryption at 11119, extended instructions at 13143, and prime number finding at 112. Floating point math scores 42441, integer math scores 31690, and multithread performance scores 15272. Physics tests record 1163, random string sorting scores 17551, and single-thread performance scores 4021 twice under two test names.

Since the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no benchmark data, the head-to-head comparison is one-sided. The recorded data only confirms the Intel part’s performance profile. The AMD chip’s wins count is 0, and the Intel chip’s wins count is 0, because no head-to-head tests were run. The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 5 315 show its standing: the AMD EPYC 9274F scores 18189 with a 0% delta, the Intel Core i7-9700 scores 18180 with a 0% delta, the Intel Core i7-1365U scores 18177 with a 0.1% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U scores 18176 with a 0.1% delta. This places the Intel Core 5 315 essentially level with those four chips.

The Verdict

Based on the recorded data, the Intel Core 5 315 is the only chip with measurable performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals in the database. The Intel part’s average benchmark score is 18188, placing it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs. The AMD part’s average score is 0, placing it at the 50th percentile, which reflects a lack of data rather than actual performance.

The Intel Core 5 315 uses a 3 nm process, which indicates a more advanced manufacturing node than the AMD’s 7 nm. The Intel chip also has a lower TDP of 15 watts versus 35 watts, which suggests lower power draw. The AMD chip has more threads (12 versus 6) and a higher base clock (3.40 GHz versus 1.50 GHz), but the boost clock is identical at 4.40 GHz.

Memory bandwidth favors Intel at 59.7 GB/s versus AMD’s 51.2 GB/s, despite Intel using a single-channel bus. PCIe generation favors Intel (Gen 4 versus Gen 3), but lane count favors AMD (16 lanes versus 6 lanes). The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, which allows overclocking, while the Intel chip is locked. The Intel chip lists a launch MSRP of $340, but the AMD chip has no launch MSRP recorded.

For users who need benchmark-verified performance, the Intel Core 5 315 is the only option with data. For users who prioritize thread count and overclocking flexibility, the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE offers those features on paper, but no measurements confirm its real-world results. The database cannot verify AMD’s performance claims without recorded tests.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 315 wins in every benchmark category that has recorded data, simply because the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no benchmark scores. The Intel chip’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12981 and single-core score of 1832 indicate strong performance for its 6-thread configuration. The Passmark multithread score of 15272 and single-thread score of 4021 reinforce this. The Intel part also wins on process node efficiency (3 nm versus 7 nm), memory bandwidth (59.7 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s), and power draw (15 watts versus 35 watts).

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE wins on thread count (12 versus 6), PCIe lane count (16 versus 6), and base clock (3.40 GHz versus 1.50 GHz). It also offers an unlocked multiplier, which the Intel chip lacks. The AMD chip’s dual-channel memory bus contrasts with Intel’s single-channel bus, though Intel’s bandwidth is higher. The AMD part uses a larger cache pool per core (64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core), which could benefit workloads that rely on per-core cache locality, but no benchmark data confirms this.

For raw benchmark scores, the Intel Core 5 315 is the only processor with verified results. For theoretical specifications, the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE offers more threads and overclocking headroom, but its performance remains unmeasured in the database. The Intel chip’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U and Intel Core i7-9700, all score within 0.1% of it, showing that the Intel Core 5 315 sits in a competitive performance band. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no nearest rivals listed, which means the database cannot place it relative to other CPUs.
