AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D vs Intel Processor U302L Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and the Intel Processor U302L occupy vastly different positions in the database, and the recorded benchmark data reflects a wide performance gulf. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D has a full suite of PassMark results, while the Intel Processor U302L has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This absence of data for the Intel part means a direct score-for-score comparison is not possible; instead, the analysis relies on the AMD processor's absolute scores and its standing among all CPUs.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D posts an average benchmark score of 44,573, which places it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, which scores 44,466 and trails by only 0.2%, and the Intel Core i9-13950HX, which scores 44,342 and is 0.5% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 scores 44,309, a 0.6% deficit, while the Intel Core i5-14600 scores 44,889, putting it 0.7% ahead of the Ryzen 5 7500X3D. These narrow margins indicate that the Ryzen 5 7500X3D sits in a tightly contested performance cluster, with all four rivals within roughly one percentage point of its average score.

In single-thread performance, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D records a PassMark single-thread score of 3,494. The multi-thread test yields a score of 25,047, while integer math reaches 70,774 and floating point math hits 43,594. Data compression scores 271,649, data encryption scores 15,797, and extended instructions score 20,455. Random string sorting produces 32,999, and the physics test results in 2,779. Prime number finding scores 221. These figures show a processor that is strong across both integer and floating point workloads, with particularly high throughput in data compression tasks.

The Intel Processor U302L, by contrast, has no benchmark entries and an average benchmark score of 0 in the database. Its percentile ranking stands at 50, but with no recorded measurements, the database cannot substantiate any performance claims for this part. The U302L is a 5-core, 6-thread mobile processor with a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 2.40 GHz, while the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The clock speed difference alone, combined with the thread count advantage, explains why the Ryzen part dominates any hypothetical comparison. The data shows the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a high-percentile desktop part, while the U302L is a low-power mobile chip without measured results.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear separation in roles. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a desktop part with a full benchmark profile, an 89th percentile ranking, and an average score of 44,573. It competes within one percentage point of several high-end Intel and AMD chips, including the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H, the Intel Core i9-13950HX, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, and the Intel Core i5-14600. Its 6 cores, 12 threads, 4.00 GHz base clock, and 4.50 GHz boost clock position it as a multi-threaded performer for desktop workloads.

The Intel Processor U302L is a mobile chip with 5 cores, 6 threads, a 1.20 GHz base clock, and a 2.40 GHz boost clock. Its TDP of 15 watts indicates a low-power design, and its mobile market segment confirms its intended use in portable systems. However, with no benchmark scores in the database, there is no measured evidence of its performance. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is the only part in this comparison with verified results, and it belongs in a different performance class entirely. The U302L cannot be evaluated against it on the basis of recorded data.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D uses 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel Processor U302L uses 5 cores and 6 threads. The Ryzen part has a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz; the Intel part has a base clock of 1.20 GHz and a boost clock of 2.40 GHz. TDP differs significantly, with the Ryzen 5 7500X3D rated at 65 watts and the U302L rated at 15 watts. The Ryzen chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support also diverges: the Ryzen 5 7500X3D supports DDR5 only, while the U302L supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses, but the Ryzen part has a recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure in the database. ECC memory support is present on the Ryzen 5 7500X3D but absent on the U302L. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the Ryzen processor uses Gen 5 with 24 lanes, while the Intel processor uses Gen 4 with 8 lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with the Ryzen part featuring Radeon Graphics and the Intel part featuring UHD Graphics 80EU. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D has a launch MSRP of $269, while the Intel Processor U302L has a launch MSRP of $285.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D belongs to the 7000 series and uses the Raphael codename, with a generation listed as Ryzen 5 (Zen 4 (Raphael)). It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 11,270 million transistors and a die size of 71 mm². The Intel Processor U302L uses the Raptor Lake architecture, with the codename Raptor Lake-PS and a generation listed as Intel Processor (Raptor Lake). It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Cache configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 96 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Processor U302L has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 10 MB of shared L3 cache. The Ryzen part's 96 MB L3 cache is a major architectural advantage, particularly for workloads that benefit from large on-die memory. The Intel part's smaller 10 MB L3 cache reflects its mobile, low-power positioning.

The Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a desktop part with a 65 watt TDP and a 5 nm process, while the U302L is a mobile part with a 15 watt TDP and a 10 nm process. The Ryzen processor's higher transistor count and larger L3 cache, combined with its higher clocks, align with its desktop performance role. The U302L's lower TDP and smaller cache align with its efficiency-focused mobile role. The production status for both is listed as Active, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The Ryzen 5 7500X3D was released in November 2025, while the Intel Processor U302L was released in April 2024. The Ryzen part uses 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, while the Intel part uses 8 PCIe Gen 4 lanes, a difference that reflects their respective platforms and intended workloads.
