AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE vs Intel Core 3 201E Comparison

The recorded data compares the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE and the Intel Core 3 201E across 17 benchmark entries. The AMD part wins 13 of those comparisons, the Intel part wins 4. AMD's average benchmark score is 25880 against Intel's 19056, and the percentile placement is 78 for AMD versus 73 for Intel. Both are active desktop processors, with AMD on Socket AM4 and Intel on Socket 1700.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

AMD's clean sweep of the Cinebench suite is the most consistent result. In Cinebench R15, R20, and R23, both multicore and singlecore, AMD leads by 22.9 percent. The R23 multicore result is 15504 against 12613, R23 singlecore is 2188 against 1780, R20 multicore is 6511 against 5297, R20 singlecore is 918 against 747, R15 multicore is 1562 against 1271, and R15 singlecore is 220 against 179. This uniform margin across six separate tests gives AMD a decisive Cinebench advantage.

Passmark results show a wider spread. AMD's largest wins are in data encryption, 14509 versus 8931 for a 62.5 percent lead; integer math, 67582 versus 43894 for 54 percent; extended instructions, 15714 versus 11035 for 42.4 percent; data compression, 228037 versus 164160 for 38.9 percent; and random string sorting, 23769 versus 17783 for 33.7 percent. AMD also leads Passmark multithread, 18057 versus 14839 for 21.7 percent, and floating point math, 38204 versus 33260 for 14.9 percent.

Intel's four wins are concentrated in specific Passmark tests. The largest is physics, 1141 versus 648, a 43.2 percent lead. Find prime numbers goes to Intel, 57 versus 49, a 14 percent lead. The Passmark single-thread result is also Intel's, 3482 versus 3240, a 7 percent lead. The database records the same single-thread score twice under two test names, with identical values for both processors.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE uses Zen 3 with the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm TSMC process. The Intel Core 3 201E uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm Intel process. AMD integrates 6 cores and 12 threads; Intel integrates 4 cores and 8 threads. AMD's base clock is 3.40 and boost clock is 4.40, while Intel's base clock is 3.60 and boost clock is 4.80. TDP is 65 for AMD and 60 for Intel.

Cache layouts differ. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, with 16 MB of L3. Intel provides 80 KB of L1 and 1.25 MB of L2 per core, with 12 MB of shared L3. AMD has a 180 mm² die with 10,700 million transistors; Intel has a 163 mm² die with no transistor count recorded.

Memory and platform support also differ. AMD supports DDR4 on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5 on a dual-channel bus with 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. Both support ECC memory. AMD exposes PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes; Intel exposes PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 7 on AMD and UHD Graphics 730 on Intel. Both processors are locked, so neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The average score and head-to-head record put the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE clearly ahead in the database. AMD's 25880 average places it at the 78th percentile, while Intel's 19056 average places it at the 73rd percentile. AMD also wins 13 of 17 direct comparisons, including every Cinebench test and most Passmark workloads.

The closest comparisons in the database put AMD in a tight cluster: Core i7-11700K at 25812 with a 0.3 percent difference, Ryzen 5 230 at 25782 with 0.4 percent, Ryzen AI 5 340 at 25981 with -0.4 percent, and Core i7-14701TE at 26013 with -0.5 percent. Intel sits near Ryzen 5 7535HS at 19047 with 0 percent difference, Core i5-12400F at 19039 with 0.1 percent, Core i5-1335U at 18982 with 0.4 percent, and AMD EPYC 7773X at 18979 with 0.4 percent.

From the recorded data, AMD is the stronger overall part. The data selects AMD for multithreaded rendering, integer math, encryption, compression, extended instructions, and random string sorting. Intel has specific advantages in physics simulation, prime number finding, and Passmark single-thread performance. Those are narrow areas within the overall comparison, but they are present in the numbers.
