Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, part of the 5000 series. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 7 nm process with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. The chip is built for the AMD Socket AM4 platform and is classified as a desktop processor. It features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a 16 MB L3 cache. The integrated graphics are Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors. It supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The PCIe interface is Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The multiplier is unlocked, allowing overclocking.

The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and belongs to the Core 5 generation. It is built on a 3 nm process by Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database. It is a mobile processor using the Intel BGA 1516 socket. The L1 cache is 192 KB per core, L2 cache is 2.5 MB per core, and L3 cache is 6 MB shared. The integrated graphics are Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. It supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a single-channel bus and a bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s, which is higher than the AMD chip's bandwidth. The PCIe interface is Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. The multiplier is locked, so overclocking is not supported.

A key architectural distinction is the core topology: the AMD chip uses simultaneous multithreading to deliver 16 threads from 8 cores, while the Intel chip has 6 cores and 6 threads with no hyperthreading. The Intel chip is also on a more advanced process node, 3 nm versus 7 nm, and supports a newer memory standard. However, the AMD chip benefits from a larger L3 cache (16 MB versus 6 MB) and a higher TDP envelope (35 watts versus 15 watts), which can sustain higher sustained loads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database includes benchmark results for the Intel Core 7 360 across multiple Cinebench and Passmark tests. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, so all comparisons below reference the Intel chip's absolute scores and its position relative to the broader CPU pool.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel Core 7 360 scores 1374 in multi-core and 193 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5726 multi-core and 808 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the multi-core score is 13634 and the single-core score is 1924. These results indicate the Intel chip's single-core performance scales well with its 4.80 GHz boost clock, while its multi-core scores reflect the 6-core, 6-thread configuration.

Passmark results for the Intel Core 7 360 show a multi-thread score of 15544 and a single-thread score of 4274. The data compression test yields 142877, data encryption yields 11164, and extended instructions yield 12390. Floating point math scores 44963, integer math scores 34238, and random string sorting scores 17636. The find prime numbers test scores 120, and the physics test scores 1213.

Given the absence of AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE benchmark data, the head-to-head comparison must be inferred from architectural parameters. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads versus 6 cores and 6 threads, which suggests a significant advantage in heavily multithreaded workloads, provided the 35-watt TDP allows sustained operation. The Intel chip's single-channel memory bus may limit memory-bound tasks, while the AMD chip's dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth offers a different bandwidth profile. The Intel chip's higher memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s, despite being single-channel, indicates the newer memory standard's efficiency.

The Intel Core 7 360's average benchmark score of 18374 places it at the 72nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all Intel parts: the Core i3-13100 at 18380 (0% delta), the Core 5 330 at 18345 (0.2% delta), the Core i3-14100 at 18318 (0.3% delta), and the Core 3 305 at 18302 (0.4% delta). These tiny deltas mean the Intel Core 7 360 delivers performance statistically indistinguishable from the Core i3-13100, and only marginally ahead of the Core 5 330 and Core i3-14100.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE is positioned for desktop workloads where multi-threaded performance matters. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 35-watt TDP, give it a structural advantage in tasks that scale with thread count, such as video encoding, 3D rendering, and software compilation. The dual-channel DDR4 memory bus also supports higher sustained memory throughput for these workloads. The unlocked multiplier adds flexibility for users who want to adjust clock speeds, though the base clock of 3.80 GHz is already higher than the Intel chip's 1.50 GHz base.

The Intel Core 7 360 is optimized for mobile efficiency. Its 15-watt TDP makes it suitable for compact, power-constrained devices. The 3 nm process node and newer memory support (DDR5 and LPDDR5X) provide a modern platform foundation. The higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz gives it an edge in lightly threaded, latency-sensitive tasks such as web browsing, office applications, and some gaming scenarios. The single-channel memory bus, while narrower, still achieves higher bandwidth than the AMD chip due to the newer memory standard.

Based on benchmark data, the Intel Core 7 360's overall performance sits at the 72nd percentile, with its nearest rival being the Core i3-13100 at a 0% delta. This means the Intel chip delivers performance equivalent to a recent Core i3 desktop part, which is notable for a 15-watt mobile processor. The AMD chip has no recorded benchmark scores, so its percentile and average score cannot be stated from the database. However, its architecture with more cores and threads suggests it would dominate in multi-threaded benchmarks, while the Intel chip's higher boost clock and newer process node point to an advantage in single-threaded and efficiency-focused workloads.

The recorded data shows the Intel Core 7 360 excels in Cinebench R23 multi-core with a score of 13634, which is strong for a 6-core chip. Its single-thread score of 1924 in Cinebench R23 confirms the boost clock advantage. The AMD chip's lack of benchmark data prevents a direct score comparison, but its core count and thread count provide a clear theoretical edge in parallel workloads. For users prioritizing raw multi-threaded throughput, the AMD part is the logical choice; for those prioritizing power efficiency and single-thread responsiveness, the Intel part has the advantage.
