Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is built on the Zen 3 architecture under the Vermeer codename, using a 7 nm process from TSMC with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die. It belongs to the 5000 series and is classified as a desktop part. The Intel Core 7 350 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, a 3 nm process from Intel, and is classified as a mobile part. The Intel architecture field is not listed in the database, so the design comparison relies on the recorded process, cache, and feature data.

The cache configurations diverge sharply. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and only 6 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has a larger per-core L1 and L2 allocation, but the AMD part has over five times the total L3 capacity, which supports its multi-threaded workloads.

Memory architecture also differs. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT uses DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Core 7 350 uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel memory bus and 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite the single-channel limitation, the Intel part records a higher memory bandwidth figure. The AMD part supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor provides Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel processor provides Gen 4 with only 6 lanes from the CPU. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, which permits overclocking, while the Intel part is locked. The Intel part includes integrated graphics, whereas the AMD part relies on a discrete GPU.

The release timeline places the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT with a launch date of 2024-07-30 and the Intel Core 7 350 with a launch date of 2026-04-15. The AMD part is a desktop processor on AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel part is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 1516.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data shows a dominant result for the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, which wins 15 of the 17 recorded comparisons. The Intel Core 7 350 wins 2 comparisons, both in single-thread PassMark testing. The largest margin for the AMD part appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 23794 against 8030, a 196.3% advantage. That result reflects the combination of 8 cores, 16 threads, and 32 MB of L3 against 6 cores, 6 threads, and 6 MB of L3.

In Cinebench R20 multi-core, the AMD part scores 9993 against 5373, a 86% lead. The R15 multi-core test shows 2398 against 1220, a 96.6% lead. The single-core Cinebench results also favor AMD, but by smaller margins. Cinebench R15 single-core shows 338 against 292, a 15.8% lead. Cinebench R20 single-core shows 1410 against 758, a 86% lead. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 3359 against 2046, a 64.2% lead.

PassMark integer math shows the AMD part at 93942 against 33734, a 178.5% lead. Data compression shows 352002 against 143123, a 145.9% lead. Random string sorting shows 35911 against 17238, a 108.3% lead. Extended instructions show 24270 against 12045, a 101.5% lead. Data encryption shows 21461 against 10933, a 96.3% lead. The PassMark multithread score is 28053 against 15170, an 84.9% lead.

The closer wins for AMD include floating point math at 53808 against 42809, a 25.7% lead, and physics at 1355 against 1173, a 15.5% lead. The smallest AMD win is in find prime numbers, 119 against 107, an 11.2% lead.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins the PassMark single-thread test with 4100 against 3535, a 13.8% advantage for Intel. That same result appears twice in the recorded data, once as passmark_single_thread and once as passmark_singlethread. The Intel part also has a higher PassMark single-thread score in absolute terms, which shows that its single-core efficiency is competitive even though its multi-core output trails heavily.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is the clear winner in multi-threaded and compute-heavy workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 23794 against 8030, a 196.3% lead, indicates a major advantage in rendering, compilation, and other workloads that scale with core count and shared cache. The PassMark integer math result of 93942 against 33734, a 178.5% lead, reinforces that strength in general arithmetic processing. Data compression at 352002 against 143123, a 145.9% lead, and data encryption at 21461 against 10933, a 96.3% lead, both favor the AMD part heavily. For users running parallel workloads, the 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 32 MB of L3 provides a substantial throughput advantage over the 6-core, 6-thread Intel part.

The AMD part also holds the edge in single-core Cinebench tests. Cinebench R23 single-core shows 3359 against 2046, a 64.2% lead, and Cinebench R20 single-core shows 1410 against 758, an 86% lead. These results indicate that the AMD part delivers higher single-thread performance in the Cinebench suite, which is relevant for lightly threaded applications that rely on that specific rendering workload.

The Intel Core 7 350 wins the PassMark single-thread test with 4100 against 3535, a 13.8% advantage. That result appears twice in the recorded data and represents the only benchmark category where the Intel part leads. The Intel part also carries integrated Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores, a feature absent from the AMD part, which matters for systems that need a GPU without a discrete card. The Intel part has a 15 W TDP against 105 W for the AMD part, which points to a much lower power envelope for mobile or compact designs. The Intel part uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth, higher than the 51.2 GB/s of the AMD part, and it is built on a 3 nm process versus 7 nm for the AMD part.

The percentile data places the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Core 7 350 sits at the 71st percentile. The average benchmark score of 29879 for the AMD part versus 17779 for the Intel part confirms that the AMD processor occupies a higher overall performance tier. The nearest rival data for the AMD part shows it trading positions with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, while the Intel part sits close to the Intel Core 5 120U and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT. In direct comparison, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is the stronger performer across nearly every recorded metric, with the Intel Core 7 350 retaining specific advantages in single-thread PassMark scoring, integrated graphics, memory bandwidth, process node, and power consumption.
