Intel also takes prime number finding by 47.3%, with 110 points versus AMD's 58. Physics simulation goes to Intel by 16.3%, 1,221 to 1,022.

The average benchmark scores reflect the overall picture. AMD's average is 49,196, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs. Intel's average is 18,023, which lands in the 72nd percentile. The nearest rivals in the database confirm the positioning. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G sits within 0.4% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 245, within 0.4% of the Intel Core i5-14600KF, and within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900. The Intel Core 5 320, by contrast, trades blows with the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (0.2% delta), the Intel Core 5 120U (0.7%), the Intel Core i5-1334U (0.7%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT (0.7%). These rival clusters show that the AMD part competes in a much higher performance tier.

The Verdict

The data shows two processors aimed at fundamentally different workloads. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G delivers dominant multithreaded and compute-heavy performance. Its 8 cores and 16 threads give it a structural advantage in parallel tasks, and the benchmark results confirm this. The 90th percentile ranking and average score of 49,196 place it alongside desktop-class parts like the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and Intel Core i5-14600KF.

The Intel Core 5 320, with 6 cores and 6 threads, is a mobile-oriented part. It wins in single-threaded workloads and physics simulation, and its prime number finding score is notably strong. The 72nd percentile ranking and average score of 18,023 put it in the same class as older desktop chips like the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT. For users whose workloads depend on single-core responsiveness, the Intel part has a measurable edge.

The AMD processor is the choice for rendering, compilation, data compression, and any workload that scales with thread count. The Intel processor suits tasks that favor single-thread speed and lighter power envelopes. The recorded data does not show a single winner across all categories; it shows two parts optimized for different priorities.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 5 320 has 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD base clock is 3.80 GHz versus 1.50 GHz for Intel, though both boost to 4.60 GHz. Thermal design power differs substantially: the AMD part is rated at 65 watts, the Intel part at 15 watts.

Memory support is another major divergence. The AMD processor uses DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel processor supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel bus and 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Neither supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD chip offers PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, while Intel uses BGA 1516.

The integrated graphics are distinct. AMD pairs the processor with Radeon Vega 8 graphics. Intel includes Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Both processors have locked multipliers, and both are currently in active production. The market segments differ, with AMD targeting desktop and Intel targeting mobile.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It uses a 7 nm process from TSMC and contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The cache layout is per-core: 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The processor belongs to the 5000 series and was released on September 4, 2024.

The Intel Core 5 320 uses the Wildcat Lake codename with a 3 nm process from Intel's own foundry. Transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. The cache configuration is simpler: 192 KB of L1, 2.5 MB of L2, and 6 MB of shared L3. The processor belongs to the Core 5 generation and was released on April 15, 2026. The launch MSRP is $340.

The architectural differences explain the benchmark results. AMD's larger thread count and bigger L3 cache support its multithreaded dominance. Intel's higher single-thread scores and lower power draw reflect a newer, smaller process node and a design aimed at mobile efficiency. The Intel part's 3 nm process contrasts with AMD's 7 nm node, though the AMD chip's larger core and cache configuration compensates in throughput-heavy tasks. The single-channel memory bus on the Intel part may limit memory-intensive workloads, while the dual-channel DDR4 configuration on the AMD part provides balanced bandwidth for its core count.
