AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core 5 315 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G and the Intel Core 5 315 occupy different segments of the processor market, with the former being a desktop chip and the latter a mobile part. The recorded data for the Intel Core 5 315 includes a full benchmark suite, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no benchmark scores in the database. This asymmetry shapes the analysis: the Intel part’s measured performance can be compared against its nearest rivals, while the AMD part’s capabilities must be inferred from its specifications alone.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G and the Intel Core 5 315. The only benchmark scores available belong to the Intel Core 5 315, which was tested across Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and several Passmark workloads. Without a matching set of measurements for the AMD processor, a direct comparison of their scores is not possible from the recorded data.

What the data does show is how the Intel Core 5 315 performs against other processors in the database. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel Core 5 315 scores 12981 points. This places it near the AMD EPYC 9274F, which has an average benchmark score of 18189, and the Intel Core i7-9700 at 18180, with a delta of 0 percent against both. The Intel Core 5 315 also sits close to the Intel Core i7-1365U (18177, delta 0.1 percent) and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (18176, delta 0.1 percent). These deltas indicate that the Intel Core 5 315’s average benchmark score of 18188 is effectively tied with these four rivals, differing by only a tenth of a percent at most.

In single-core workloads, the Intel Core 5 315 achieves a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1832 and a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 769. The Cinebench R15 single-core score is 184. Passmark single-thread performance reaches 4021, which is a strong result for a mobile processor. The data shows that the Intel Core 5 315 outperforms several desktop-class chips in this metric, including the Intel Core i7-9700, based on the near-zero delta in average benchmark scores and the higher single-thread figures.

Multithreaded performance for the Intel Core 5 315 is recorded in several tests. Passmark multithread scores 15272, while Passmark physics scores 1163. Data compression reaches 146143, and data encryption scores 11119. Extended instructions hit 13143, and floating-point math reaches 42441. Integer math scores 31690, and random string sorting reaches 17551. Finding prime numbers scores 112, which is notably lower than the other Passmark sub-tests, indicating a specific weakness in that workload.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, by contrast, has no benchmark entries in the database. Its percentile rank among all CPUs is 50, while the Intel Core 5 315 sits at the 72nd percentile. This percentile difference suggests that, based on all recorded CPUs, the Intel part outperforms the AMD part in the aggregate, but the lack of actual benchmark scores for the AMD chip means this remains an inference from the percentile field rather than a measured comparison.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the Intel Core 5 315 is the only processor with measurable benchmark results. Its average benchmark score of 18188 places it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database, a position shared with the AMD EPYC 9274F, Intel Core i7-9700, Intel Core i7-1365U, and AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, all of which have nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, with a 50th percentile rank and no benchmark scores, cannot be directly compared in this database.

For users selecting between these two chips, the data supports the Intel Core 5 315 as the higher-performing option in terms of recorded benchmarks. The Intel part’s single-core scores, particularly the Passmark single-thread result of 4021 and Cinebench R23 single-core of 1832, indicate strong per-thread performance. Its multicore Cinebench R23 score of 12981 also shows solid throughput for a 6-core, 6-thread mobile processor.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G offers 8 cores and 16 threads, which implies higher multithreading potential than the Intel part’s 6 cores and 6 threads, but no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD chip’s 50th percentile rank, however, suggests it sits below the Intel part in overall performance among all CPUs in the database. The verdict from the data is clear: the Intel Core 5 315 has measured performance that places it in the upper half of all processors, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G’s position is unverified and its percentile rank indicates a lower standing.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in architecture, process node, and design goals. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². The Intel Core 5 315 uses the Wildcat Lake codename with a 3 nm process at Intel’s own foundry, though transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 cache total, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD chip’s larger L3 cache, at 16 MB versus 6 MB, provides more shared cache for the 8 cores to use. The Intel chip’s L1 and L2 figures are aggregate numbers, not per-core, which reflects a different cache design.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 315 uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a single-channel bus and a higher memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s. Despite the single-channel configuration, the Intel part’s newer memory standard delivers more bandwidth in the recorded specifications.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD chip provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The AMD part’s higher lane count suits desktop expansion, while the Intel part’s fewer lanes reflect its mobile orientation. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G includes Radeon Graphics with 512 SP, while the Intel Core 5 315 includes Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe units.

The Intel Core 5 315 has a locked multiplier, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has an unlocked multiplier, enabling overclocking on the AMD part. The AMD chip uses the AMD Socket AM4, a desktop socket, while the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1516, a soldered mobile package. The Intel part is marked as mobile market segment, while the AMD part is marked as desktop.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 5 315 wins in measured performance benchmarks, based on the available data. Its average benchmark score of 18188 and 72nd percentile rank demonstrate strong overall performance across the database’s tests. In single-core workloads, the Intel part’s Passmark single-thread score of 4021 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1832 indicate excellent per-thread capability, which benefits applications that rely on low-latency single-thread execution. The Intel part also delivers higher memory bandwidth at 59.7 GB/s, which can improve memory-intensive tasks despite the single-channel bus.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G wins in specifications that favor multithreading and expansion. Its 8 cores and 16 threads double the thread count of the Intel part, which should improve heavily parallel workloads like rendering, compilation, or scientific computing, though no benchmark data confirms this. The AMD chip has a larger 16 MB L3 cache, which can reduce memory latency for frequently accessed data. Its 16 PCIe Gen 3 lanes provide more expansion capability than the Intel part’s 6 Gen 4 lanes, making it more suitable for desktop configurations with multiple add-in cards. The unlocked multiplier on the AMD part allows overclocking, which could push performance beyond stock levels.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G also has a higher base clock at 3.80 GHz versus 1.50 GHz for the Intel part, and a higher boost clock at 4.60 GHz versus 4.40 GHz. The AMD chip’s higher clock speeds, combined with more cores and threads, give it a specification-level advantage in raw compute potential, but the lack of benchmark data means this advantage is not verified.

The database shows no benchmark results for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, so its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, while the Intel Core 5 315 has a measured average of 18188. The percentile ranks reflect this gap, with the Intel part at the 72nd percentile and the AMD part at the 50th percentile. The Intel Core 5 315 also has a set of nearest rivals in the database, including the AMD EPYC 9274F, Intel Core i7-9700, Intel Core i7-1365U, and AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, all with nearly identical average scores. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has no nearest rivals listed, which further limits comparative analysis for that chip.
