AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Arc G3 EXTREME Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME occupy different corners of the processor market, one a desktop part for socketed builds and the other a mobile chip soldered to a board. The recorded data shows an unusual split: the Intel part wins ten of the eleven shared benchmark comparisons, yet the AMD chip holds a higher overall percentile ranking. This contradiction demands a closer look at what each processor actually does well.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME dominates the shared PassMark test suite. In data compression, it scores 307,094 against the Ryzen’s 295,730, a 3.7% advantage. Data encryption shows a wider gap, with Intel at 23,881 versus 19,450, a 18.6% lead. Extended instructions follow the same pattern, Intel at 24,017 against 20,487, a 14.7% margin. The largest single disparity appears in prime number finding, where Intel scores 248 against just 58, a 76.6% difference. Floating point math also favors Intel heavily, 86,929 versus 50,778, a 41.6% lead.

The Intel part continues its run in physics, scoring 2,515 against 1,022, a 59.4% advantage. Random string sorting goes to Intel at 37,331 versus 32,771, a 12.2% margin. The multithread score shows Intel at 30,659 against 23,858, a 22.2% lead. Single-thread performance also belongs to Intel, 4,293 versus 3,366, a 21.6% gap. The singlethread test duplicates that result exactly, confirming the single-core advantage.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G claims exactly one victory in the head-to-head set. Integer math goes to AMD at 90,270 against 71,164, a 26.8% margin. This is the only benchmark where the Ryzen outperforms the Arc, but the margin is substantial. The result suggests the AMD architecture handles integer-heavy workloads with unusual efficiency, while the Intel design pulls ahead in nearly every other measured category.

The overall average benchmark scores tell a different story. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G records an average of 49,196, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME averages 36,699, placing it in the 85th percentile. Despite losing ten of eleven direct comparisons, the AMD chip sits higher in the database’s aggregate ranking. This happens because the two processors do not share every benchmark in their full profiles. The Ryzen has no Cinebench scores recorded, while the Intel part has Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 results. Those additional tests, plus differences in how the averages are computed, shift the overall standing.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors with opposite strengths. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME delivers higher scores in the shared PassMark tests, including a strong multithread result of 30,659 and a single-thread score of 4,293. It uses 14 cores with 14 threads, a configuration that favors raw throughput in parallel workloads. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, with 8 cores and 16 threads, wins integer math decisively but loses the rest of the shared suite. Its higher average benchmark score of 49,196 and 90th percentile ranking come from a broader benchmark profile that includes tests not present for the Intel part.

The Intel chip also shows a significant advantage in floating point math, physics, and prime number finding, categories that often reflect SIMD and cryptographic efficiency. The Ryzen counters with a strong integer math result, which can matter for database operations, financial calculations, and general productivity tasks that rely on integer arithmetic. The choice between them depends entirely on which workload profile matches the user’s needs.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME wins in data compression, encryption, extended instructions, prime number finding, floating point math, physics, random string sorting, multithread, and single-thread tests. These categories cover a wide range of general-purpose computing, from file archiving to scientific calculations. The 14-core, 14-thread configuration and the 4.70 GHz boost clock contribute to this broad dominance. The 3 nm process node from Intel also suggests a modern design with high efficiency per watt, though the database does not record power consumption figures for direct comparison.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins integer math, and that is its sole recorded victory. The 26.8% margin over the Intel part in this category is notable, given the Ryzen’s lower core count. The 8-core, 16-thread design with Zen 3 architecture and a 4.60 GHz boost clock appears to handle integer workloads particularly well. The 16 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 per core may contribute to this efficiency, as larger caches reduce memory stalls in integer-heavy loops.

The Ryzen also holds the higher percentile ranking, 90th versus 85th, and a higher average benchmark score, 49,196 versus 36,699. These aggregate figures suggest that in the database’s full test suite, the Ryzen performs better across a wider set of benchmarks than the Intel part. The Intel chip’s Cinebench results, including a multicore score of 14,655 in R23 and a single-core score of 1,862, add data points that the Ryzen lacks, but they do not overcome the Ryzen’s higher average.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G uses a 7 nm process from TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME uses a 3 nm process from Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database. The process node gap alone suggests the Intel part has a density advantage, though the database does not quantify the performance-per-watt impact.

The Ryzen uses Zen 3 architecture with the codename Cezanne, part of the 5000 series. The Intel part uses the Panther Lake codename with the Arc G3 generation label. The Ryzen 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 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger per-core L1 and L2 caches on the Intel part likely contribute to its single-thread advantage, while the Ryzen’s smaller cache footprint still manages to win integer math.

The memory controllers differ significantly. The Ryzen supports DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part supports LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and 136.5 GB/s bandwidth. The higher memory bandwidth on the Intel chip, nearly 2.7 times that of the Ryzen, helps explain its lead in data compression, encryption, and floating point math, all of which benefit from fast memory access.

The PCIe interfaces also differ. The Ryzen uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU. The newer PCIe generation on the Intel chip provides higher per-lane bandwidth, though the lane count is lower. The market segments differ as well, with the Ryzen listed as a desktop part using AMD Socket AM4 and the Intel chip listed as a mobile part using Intel BGA 2540.

Specification Differences
