AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G and Intel Core 5 211TE are both active desktop processors, yet they serve very different performance profiles. The AMD part, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with a Zen 3 architecture, is a high-throughput powerhouse, while the Intel part, a Bartlett Lake design on Intel's 10 nm node, is a lower-power option with a higher boost clock. The database records 11 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with the AMD chip winning 9 and the Intel chip taking 2. The average benchmark score for the Ryzen is 49,196, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, while the Core 5 211TE averages 15,370 and sits in the 69th percentile. This is a decisive performance gap, but the Intel part has specific strengths worth examining.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G dominates in almost every measured category, particularly in workloads that rely on sustained multithreaded throughput and memory bandwidth. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth, allow it to excel in data compression, encryption, integer math, and floating-point math. The PassMark data shows massive leads in these areas, with scores often more than double those of the Intel chip. For users running heavy content creation, virtualization, or database workloads, the Ryzen's performance profile is clearly superior.

The Intel Core 5 211TE, despite having fewer benchmark wins, takes the top spot in two specific tests: find prime numbers and physics. These are lightly threaded or latency-sensitive workloads that favor its higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz compared to the AMD's 4.60 GHz. The Intel part also has a higher TDP efficiency profile at 45 W versus 65 W, and it supports DDR5 memory, which could be an advantage in systems where memory bandwidth scales with newer memory types. However, in the recorded data, the Intel chip does not translate these architectural advantages into broad benchmark wins.

The use-case split is clear: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the choice for raw compute density and parallel workloads, while the Intel Core 5 211TE is better suited for single-threaded latency-sensitive tasks and power-conscious deployments. The Intel part's wins in prime number calculation and physics indicate it can handle specific math or simulation tasks efficiently, but the AMD chip's overwhelming lead in multithreaded tests makes it the more versatile performer.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G dominates the head-to-head results with nine wins, and several of those victories are by enormous margins. The largest is in integer math, where the AMD scores 90,270 against the Intel's 33,991, a 165.6% advantage. Data encryption also shows a 169% lead, with scores of 19,450 versus 7,231. The AMD part is 137.8% ahead in extended instructions (20,487 vs 8,615) and 139.1% ahead in single-thread performance (3,366 vs 1,408). These results indicate that the Zen 3 architecture in the Ryzen delivers significantly higher instructions per clock, even though the Intel part has a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz versus 4.60 GHz.

Multithreaded workloads further emphasize the gap. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G scores 23,858 in the multithread test, which is 104.2% higher than the Intel's 11,685. Floating-point math shows a 94.2% lead (50,778 vs 26,150), and data compression is 121.6% higher (295,730 vs 133,434). The AMD part is also 120.9% ahead in random string sorting (32,771 vs 14,838). These results confirm that the Ryzen's 8 cores and 16 threads, paired with a higher base clock of 3.80 GHz, provide a substantial throughput advantage over the Intel's 10 cores and 16 threads running at a base clock of 1.70 GHz.

The Intel Core 5 211TE has two wins, both in tests where the AMD part's advantage is reversed. In find prime numbers, the Intel scores 72 versus 58, a 19.4% lead. In physics, the Intel scores 1,278 versus 1,022, a 20% lead. These tests are likely more sensitive to the Intel's higher boost clock and possibly its architecture's efficiency in specific math operations. However, the magnitude of these wins is small compared to the AMD's dominant leads in other tests, meaning the overall benchmark average heavily favors the Ryzen.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in several key specifications. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 5 211TE has 10 cores and 16 threads. The base clock is significantly different: the AMD runs at 3.80 GHz, while the Intel runs at a much lower 1.70 GHz. The boost clock is closer, with the AMD at 4.60 GHz and the Intel at 4.80 GHz. The TDP also differs, with the AMD at 65 W and the Intel at 45 W.

Memory support is another differentiator. The AMD part supports DDR4 only, with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a higher memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part also supports ECC memory, which the AMD part does not. PCIe support differs as well: the AMD uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes, while the Intel uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes.

The socket and process node are also different. The AMD uses AMD Socket AM4 and is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. The Intel uses Intel Socket 1700 and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 215 mm² and no transistor count listed. The release dates also differ, with the AMD launching in September 2024 and the Intel in January 2025.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, and belongs to the 5000 series. It uses a 7 nm process from TSMC and has a cache hierarchy of 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. The integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8. The Intel Core 5 211TE is codenamed Bartlett Lake and belongs to the Core 5 generation, with no specific architecture name provided. It uses a 10 nm process from Intel and has a cache hierarchy of 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB shared L3. Its integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730.

The cache differences are notable: the Intel part has larger L1 and L2 caches per core, and a larger shared L3 of 20 MB versus 16 MB. However, the AMD part's smaller cache sizes are offset by its higher base clock and more efficient Zen 3 core design, as evidenced by the benchmark results. The Intel part's 10 cores, with two more physical cores than the AMD, do not translate into a multithreaded win because the AMD's higher base clock and architecture efficiency dominate.

The process node difference is also significant: the AMD's 7 nm TSMC process is denser than Intel's 10 nm process, which contributes to the AMD's smaller die size of 180 mm² versus 215 mm². The Intel part's higher memory bandwidth and PCIe Gen 5 support are forward-looking features, but they do not overcome the raw compute deficit in the recorded benchmarks. The Intel part also has a lower TDP of 45 W, making it a more power-efficient option in terms of thermal design, though the AMD part delivers far more performance per the data.
