Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G belongs to the 5000 series and uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename. It is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The chip is a desktop part on AMD Socket AM4 with a 65 W TDP, and it uses a dual-channel DDR4 memory bus with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its cache layout is 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8, and the CPU provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

The Intel Core 3 304 uses the Wildcat Lake codename and is built on a 3 nm process at Intel. It is a mobile part on Intel BGA 1516 with a 15 W TDP. The cache structure differs substantially: 192 KB of L1, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 and LPDDR5X over a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. The integrated graphics are Intel Xe3 Graphics with 1 Xe, and the CPU provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The Intel part has no listed transistor count or die size in the database.

These architectures target different roles. The Zen 3 design is a high-core-count desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, while Wildcat Lake is a low-power mobile design with 5 cores and 5 threads. The process node advantage goes to Intel at 3 nm, but the AMD part compensates with double the cores, higher clocks, and a much larger L3 cache. The memory controllers also split: AMD uses dual-channel DDR4, Intel uses single-channel DDR5/LPDDR5X with slightly higher bandwidth.

The Verdict

The data separates these two clearly by workload. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins 8 of 11 head-to-head benchmarks, including every heavy compute test. Its multithread score of 23,858 is 105.2% higher than the Intel Core 3 304's 11,625. Integer math shows the largest gap at 266.4%, with AMD scoring 90,270 versus 24,640. The AMD part also dominates data compression (295,730 versus 114,775, a 157.7% delta) and random string sorting (32,771 versus 13,659, a 139.9% delta). For desktop productivity, database operations, and any parallel workload, the Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the clear choice.

The Intel Core 3 304 wins only in single-thread scenarios. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3,614 beats the AMD part's 3,366 by 6.9%, and it also wins the find prime numbers test with 68 versus 58, a 14.7% advantage. That makes it the better pick for lightly threaded tasks that depend on per-core speed. The 3 nm process and 15 W TDP also indicate a far lower power envelope, which suits mobile systems where battery life and thermals matter more than raw throughput.

The average benchmark scores reinforce the divide: AMD at 49,196 sits in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, while Intel at 13,745 sits in the 68th percentile. The AMD part's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (0.1% higher), Intel Core i5-14600KF (0.4% higher), Intel Core Ultra 5 245 (0.4% lower), and Intel Xeon Gold 5318H (1.0% higher). The Intel Core 3 304 sits near the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (0.3% higher), Intel Core i7-8750H (0.9% higher), Intel Core 5 120UL (1.1% lower), and AMD EPYC 7443 (1.4% higher).

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins the majority of the shared PassMark tests by wide margins. Data compression shows 295,730 versus 114,775, a 157.7% lead. Data encryption scores 19,450 versus 8,501, a 128.8% advantage. Extended instructions deliver 20,487 versus 9,686, or 111.5% higher. Floating point math hits 50,778 versus 29,722, a 70.8% delta. Integer math is the most lopsided result: 90,270 versus 24,640, a 266.4% difference. Multithread performance lands at 23,858 versus 11,625, a 105.2% gap. Physics scores 1,022 versus 868, a 17.7% delta. Random string sorting completes at 32,771 versus 13,659, a 139.9% advantage.

The Intel Core 3 304 takes the remaining tests. Single-thread scores 3,614 versus 3,366, a 6.9% win. The singlethread entry repeats the same result. Find prime numbers goes to Intel with 68 versus 58, a 14.7% delta. These wins are narrow compared to the AMD margins, and they do not offset the multithread deficit.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins in every parallel and throughput-oriented workload. Data compression, encryption, extended instruction sets, floating point math, integer math, multithread, physics, and random string sorting all favor the AMD part, often by triple-digit percentages. The 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 design with 16 MB of L3 cache is built for sustained multi-core workloads. Desktop users running compilation, rendering, database processing, or heavy multitasking will see the largest benefit from this chip. Its 90th percentile standing among all CPUs reinforces that it competes well beyond its direct rival.

The Intel Core 3 304 wins in single-thread performance and prime number calculation. The 6.9% single-thread lead comes from a higher per-core efficiency on the 3 nm process, even though its boost clock is lower at 4.30 GHz versus 4.60 GHz. The 15 W TDP also makes it the only viable option for fanless or battery-constrained mobile designs. Its 59.7 GB/s memory bandwidth is higher than the AMD part's 51.2 GB/s, and it supports newer DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory types. For applications that rely on single-core speed and low power draw, the Intel part is the better fit despite its much lower average benchmark score.
