AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE vs Intel Core 7 251E Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE and Intel Core 7 251E occupy different positions in the database. The AMD part, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 mobile chip from the 8000 series on TSMC's 4 nm process, arrives with a complete set of Cinebench and Passmark results. The Intel part, a 24-core, 32-thread Bartlett Lake desktop chip on Intel's 10 nm process, has no recorded benchmark scores. The comparison is therefore asymmetric.

Where Each One Wins

The database's head-to-head table for this pair is empty. Neither CPU is credited with a head-to-head win. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE is the only part with measured results. Its average benchmark score is 28054, which lands at the 80th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Core 7 251E sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of 0, reflecting the absence of recorded scores rather than a measured performance level.

Within the AMD part's own results, the largest Passmark scores are data compression at 248675, integer math at 63045, floating point math at 39233, and random string sorting at 31240. The Cinebench results are 18395 multi-core and 2597 single-core in R23, 7725 and 1090 in R20, and 1854 and 261 in R15. These are the only workload-level numbers available for either CPU.

The Intel part's profile is architectural. It offers 24 cores, 32 threads, 36 MB of shared L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Those specifications suggest a different performance envelope, but no benchmark results in the database confirm it. In a strict use-case split based on recorded benchmark wins, the AMD part accounts for every available measured result, and the Intel part has none.

The Verdict

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE is the only CPU in this comparison with measured performance. Its 28054 average score and 80th percentile placement give it a concrete position in the database. The Intel Core 7 251E, with no benchmark scores and a 50th percentile placement, cannot be ranked ahead of the AMD part in any measured workload.

For workloads that Cinebench and Passmark represent, the data supports the AMD part. For users requiring the Intel part's core count and memory flexibility, the selection rests on specifications rather than benchmark evidence. The Intel part's 24 cores, 32 threads, 36 MB L3, and PCIe Gen 5 support are architectural advantages on paper, but the database contains no performance measurements to confirm them.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table for this pair contains no entries. There are no direct scores, no per-test deltas, and no wins recorded for either CPU. The only measured data in the pair belongs to the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 8500GE.

The AMD part's Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 18395, and its single-core score is 2597. In R20, it records 7725 multi-core and 1090 single-core. In R15, it records 1854 multi-core and 261 single-core. Passmark results include multithread 21502, single-thread 3909, integer math 63045, floating point math 39233, data compression 248675, data encryption 14163, extended instructions 17999, physics 1237, random string sorting 31240, and find prime numbers 83.

The AMD part's nearest-rival deltas are the closest thing to head-to-head data in the database. Its average score of 28054 is 0.1% higher than the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G (28032) and 0.2% higher than the Intel Core i9-12900H (28003). It trails the AMD Ryzen AI 5 435 (28128) by 0.3% and is effectively tied with the Intel Core i5-14500T (28065). For the Intel part, there are no benchmark results to walk through; its only database placement is the 50th percentile.
