AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE vs Intel Core 3 305 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a complete benchmark suite for the Intel Core 3 305, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no benchmark entries in the database. This asymmetry means direct score comparisons are only possible by examining the Intel part against its nearest rivals, as the Ryzen 7 5705GE lacks any measured results to compare against.

The Intel Core 3 305 shows an average benchmark score of 18302, placing it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i3-14100, scores 18318, a negligible delta of -0.1%, meaning the Core 3 305 trails by just 16 points. The Intel Core 5 330 scores 18345, putting the Core 3 305 behind by 0.2%. The Intel Core 7 360 achieves 18374, a 0.4% gap. The AMD Ryzen 5 2600E scores 18230, which the Core 3 305 beats by 0.4%.

Looking at the individual Cinebench results for the Intel Core 3 305, the multi-core scores scale consistently across versions. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it records 1322 points. Cinebench R20 multi-core shows 5511, and Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 13123. The single-core results follow a similar progression: 186 in R15, 777 in R20, and 1852 in R23.

The Passmark suite reveals the workload profile of the Intel Core 3 305. Data compression scores 146857, which is the highest raw figure in the entire benchmark set for this processor. Data encryption records 11019, extended instructions 13543, and floating point math 42284. Integer math scores 32295, while the multithread test shows 15439. Physics performance comes in at 1233, random string sorting at 17623, and single-thread performance at 3977. The find prime numbers test produces 115.

Without benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE, the database cannot establish head-to-head wins in either direction. The wins tally for both processors remains at zero because no comparative test results exist. The only statistical context available is the Ryzen 7 5705GE's 50th percentile ranking versus the Core 3 305's 72nd percentile, but this ranking reflects the overall database position, not a direct comparison between these two specific parts.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the codename Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It contains 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². The Intel Core 3 305 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, fabricated on a 3 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Core and thread configurations differ substantially. The Ryzen 7 5705GE provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 3 305 provides 6 cores and 6 threads. Base clocks tell a similar story: the AMD part runs at 3.80 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost, whereas the Intel part sits at 1.50 GHz base and 4.30 GHz boost. The AMD processor also has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel processor does not.

Cache hierarchies follow different designs. The Ryzen 7 5705GE allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE wins on raw thread count and core count. Its 8 cores and 16 threads double the thread capability of the Intel Core 3 305, which offers 6 cores and 6 threads. The higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 1.50 GHz suggests sustained throughput in workloads that do not boost, and the boost clock of 4.60 GHz edges out the Intel part's 4.30 GHz. The dual-channel memory bus provides 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which supports memory-sensitive applications, and the 16 MB of L3 cache exceeds the Intel part's 6 MB shared L3. The unlocked multiplier gives overclocking flexibility on AM4 platforms. The 35 W TDP allows higher sustained power draw compared to the Intel part's 15 W envelope, which suits desktop use with adequate cooling.

The Intel Core 3 305 wins on efficiency and platform modernity. The 15 W TDP makes it suitable for mobile systems, and the 3 nm process node represents a smaller fabrication geometry than the 7 nm node used by the AMD part. The single-channel memory bus supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, providing 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth, which is higher than the AMD part's 51.2 GB/s despite the narrower bus. PCIe Gen 4 support with 6 lanes delivers newer interconnect technology than the AMD part's PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes. The benchmark results confirm competitive performance against established rivals: the Core 3 305 scores within 0.4% of the Intel Core i3-14100, Intel Core 5 330, and Intel Core 7 360, and it outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 2600E by 0.4%. Its 72nd percentile ranking in the database places it well above the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE's 50th percentile, though that ranking reflects the lack of measured benchmarks for the AMD part.

The launch MSRP of the Intel Core 3 305 is $309.

The Verdict

The database presents an incomplete comparison. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no benchmark entries, meaning its performance cannot be quantified against the Intel Core 3 305. The Intel Core 3 305, by contrast, has a full benchmark suite showing an average score of 18302 and a 72nd percentile placement.

For users prioritizing core count, thread count, and overclocking capability, the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is the clear choice on paper. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, 4.60 GHz boost clock, and unlocked multiplier define a desktop-oriented processor with headroom for multi-threaded workloads. The dual-channel DDR4 memory interface and 16 MB of L3 cache further support desktop applications.

For users prioritizing efficiency, modern memory support, and measured benchmark performance, the Intel Core 3 305 delivers. Its 15 W TDP suits mobile designs, the 3 nm process node and DDR5/LPDDR5X support represent newer technology, and the benchmark data confirms it performs within 0.4% of several Intel rivals while exceeding the AMD Ryzen 5 2600E. The single-channel memory bus is a limitation, but the higher 59.7 GB/s bandwidth partially compensates.

The data does not support a definitive performance winner because the AMD part lacks recorded measurements. The specification sheet favors the AMD processor for multi-threaded desktop work and the Intel processor for efficiency and portability. Without benchmark results for the Ryzen 7 5705GE, the verdict rests on the recorded data alone: the Intel Core 3 305 is the only processor in this comparison with verified performance scores in the database.
