A: The Intel Core 7 350 has an average benchmark score of 17779 and sits at the 71st percentile of all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, with no recorded benchmarks in the database.

The Verdict

The recorded data makes a clear distinction between these two processors. The Intel Core 7 350 has a complete set of benchmark results, including Cinebench R15, R20, R23, and PassMark tests, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no benchmark entries in the database. The Intel part also holds a substantially higher percentile ranking at 71 versus 50 for the AMD chip.

For anyone selecting based strictly on measured performance, the Intel Core 7 350 is the only option with verifiable scores. It delivers an average benchmark score of 17779, which places it just 0.5% behind the Intel Core 5 221TE and 0.5% ahead of the AMD EPYC 9374F in the nearest rival comparisons. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE, despite having more cores and threads, cannot be evaluated for real-world speed from the available data because its benchmark score is zero.

However, the choice is not purely about raw benchmarks. The AMD part uses a 35 W TDP, supports dual-channel DDR4, and offers an unlocked multiplier, making it suitable for systems where overclocking and broader core counts matter. The Intel part uses a 15 W TDP, which is much lower, and supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory. The Intel chip is also a mobile segment part on a BGA 1516 socket, while the AMD chip is a desktop part on Socket AM4.

The verdict from the data: the Intel Core 7 350 is the pick for anyone who needs proven performance numbers, high single-thread and multi-thread scores, and low power draw. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is the pick only if the requirements are specifically about having 8 cores, 16 threads, an unlocked multiplier, and a desktop socket with dual-channel DDR4, with the understanding that no benchmark data exists to support a performance claim.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE and the Intel Core 7 350. The AMD item has no benchmarks at all, so there are no recorded scores to compare for Cinebench or PassMark tests.

The Intel Core 7 350, by contrast, has a full suite of scores. In Cinebench R23, it scores 8030 in multicore and 2046 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, the scores are 5373 multicore and 758 single-core. The R15 results show 1220 multicore and 292 single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that performs well in both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads.

PassMark results for the Intel chip include a multithread score of 15170, a single-thread score of 4100, floating point math at 42809, integer math at 33734, and extended instructions at 12045. Data compression scores 143123, data encryption scores 10933, physics scores 1173, random string sorting scores 17238, and find prime numbers scores 107.

Because the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no benchmark entries, the database cannot show a single comparison where one chip wins over the other. The only measurable outcomes are the Intel part's absolute scores and its percentile position. The Intel Core 7 350 ranks at the 71st percentile of all CPUs, which means it outperforms most processors in the database. The AMD part ranks at the 50th percentile, but that ranking is not supported by any test scores, making it an unreliable point of comparison.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core 7 350 provide context for its performance level. It trails the Intel Core 5 221TE by 0.5%, sits 0.5% above the AMD EPYC 9374F, trails the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT by 0.6%, and trails the Intel Core 5 120U by 0.7%. These small deltas show that the Intel Core 7 350 performs very close to several established mid-range parts, with no large gaps in either direction.

Without any AMD scores, the head-to-head section must conclude that the Intel processor is the only one with data. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE cannot be positioned as ahead or behind in any specific test, since no test results exist for it.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 7 350 has 6 cores and 6 threads. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for AMD and 1.50 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 4.60 GHz for AMD and 4.80 GHz for Intel.

TDP ratings differ significantly: the AMD part is rated at 35 W, the Intel part at 15 W. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel processor uses Intel BGA 1516. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel chip does not.

Memory support differs in both type and channel configuration. AMD supports DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel memory bus and 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

PCIe lanes differ: the AMD part provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon Graphics with 512 SPs, Intel uses Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores.

The market segments are different. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is a desktop part. The Intel Core 7 350 is a mobile part. Release dates also differ, with the AMD part releasing in February 2025 and the Intel part in April 2026. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $469. The AMD part has no launch MSRP recorded. Part numbers are 100-000001803 for AMD and SAE3F for Intel.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is built on the Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne, belonging to the Ryzen 7 generation. It uses a 7 nm process node from TSMC. The chip contains 10,700 million transistors on a die size of 180 mm². Its cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache.

The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. It uses a 3 nm process node from Intel. The database does not list transistor count or die size for this part. Its cache layout includes 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache.

Architectural differences extend to memory controllers and I/O. The AMD design utilizes a dual-channel DDR4 controller, while the Intel design uses a single-channel controller supporting DDR5 and LPDDR5X. The AMD processor's PCIe implementation is Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, whereas the Intel processor uses Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ in architecture as well. AMD pairs the Zen 3 cores with Radeon Graphics featuring 512 shader processors. Intel pairs the Wildcat Lake cores with Xe3 Graphics featuring 2 Xe cores. The production status for both is active. The Intel part is not marked as part of a specific series, while the AMD part belongs to the 5000 series. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, which indicates a configurable clock domain, while the Intel part is locked.

The L1 and L2 cache sizes per core are notably larger on the Intel side, but the L3 cache is much smaller at 6 MB shared versus 16 MB on AMD. The Intel part's higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz and lower TDP of 15 W suggest a design focused on efficiency and single-thread speed, while the AMD part's larger core count, higher base clock, and bigger L3 cache point toward a design aimed at multithreaded desktop workloads. The node difference, 3 nm versus 7 nm, gives Intel a fabrication advantage in density and power efficiency, though the database does not provide transistor or die size figures for Intel to confirm a direct comparison.
