AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core 7 253PQE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear hierarchy between these two desktop processors. The Intel Core 7 253PQE wins all 11 head-to-head benchmark comparisons, with no wins recorded for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G. The Intel part holds a higher average benchmark score of 55919 compared to the AMD's 49196, a difference that places them in adjacent percentile brackets: the Intel at the 91st percentile versus the AMD at the 90th percentile. The Intel Core 7 253PQE also shows a higher single-thread score of 4389 against the AMD's 3366, indicating stronger per-core performance. For workloads that scale across cores, the Intel's 10 cores and 20 threads outperform the AMD's 8 cores and 16 threads, reflected in the multithread score of 41656 versus 23858. The data indicates the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the stronger processor for essentially every measured task, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G remains a capable alternative for users constrained to the AMD Socket AM4 platform.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturing and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 253PQE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database.

Core counts differ significantly. The AMD offers 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel offers 10 cores and 20 threads. Base clocks are close, with the AMD at 3.80 GHz and the Intel at 3.50 GHz, but the Intel boost clock reaches 5.70 GHz against the AMD's 4.60 GHz. Cache structures also diverge. The AMD has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3.

The platforms differ entirely. The AMD uses AMD Socket AM4, while the Intel uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD supports DDR4 memory only, while the Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth reflects this: the Intel records 89.6 GB/s versus the AMD's 51.2 GB/s. The Intel also supports ECC memory, while the AMD does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well, with the AMD offering Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, and the Intel offering Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, the Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The Intel carries a launch MSRP of $409. The AMD part lists no launch MSRP in the database. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head data records no benchmark wins for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G. Every measured test favors the Intel Core 7 253PQE. The largest Intel advantage appears in prime number finding, where the Intel scores 206 against the AMD's 58, a delta of -71.8% for the AMD. Physics performance also heavily favors Intel, with a score of 2970 versus 1022, a -65.6% delta. Floating point math shows the Intel at 105279 against the AMD's 50778, a -51.8% delta.

The smallest gaps are in single-thread performance, where the Intel leads 4389 to 3366, a -23.3% delta, and in data encryption, where the Intel leads 25515 to 19450, a -23.8% delta. These narrower margins suggest the AMD is comparatively less disadvantaged in lightly threaded tasks, though it still trails. The Intel also holds a 42.7% lead in multithread performance, scoring 41656 to the AMD's 23858. For users whose workloads emphasize integer math, the Intel leads 137795 to 90270, a -34.5% delta. Extended instructions favor the Intel at 32390 versus 20487, a -36.7% delta. Data compression shows the Intel at 487335 versus 295730, a -39.3% delta, and random string sorting shows the Intel at 54222 versus 32771, a -39.6% delta.

Given the sweep, the database suggests the Intel Core 7 253PQE is the appropriate choice for users prioritizing raw performance across all measured categories. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G may still be relevant for those building on the AM4 socket or relying on its specific platform features, but the benchmark data shows no performance category where it surpasses the Intel part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a comprehensive Intel lead. In the passmark single-thread test, the Intel scores 4389 against the AMD's 3366, a 23.3% advantage. The same margin appears in the repeated passmark singlethread test, also 4389 versus 3366. This consistent single-thread gap indicates the Intel's higher boost clock of 5.70 GHz contributes directly to its per-core advantage.

Multithread performance shows a wider gap. The Intel scores 41656 against the AMD's 23858, a 42.7% lead. This aligns with the Intel's additional 2 cores and 4 threads. The physics test shows an even larger difference, with the Intel at 2970 versus the AMD's 1022, a 65.6% lead. Prime number finding is the most lopsided result: the Intel scores 206, the AMD scores 58, giving the Intel a 71.8% advantage.

Floating point math favors the Intel at 105279 versus 50778, a 51.8% lead. Integer math shows the Intel at 137795 versus 90270, a 34.5% lead. Data compression produces the highest raw scores in the set, with the Intel at 487335 and the AMD at 295730, a 39.3% lead. Random string sorting shows the Intel at 54222 versus 32771, a 39.6% lead. Extended instructions favor the Intel at 32390 versus 20487, a 36.7% lead. Data encryption shows the smallest margin outside single-thread tests, with the Intel at 25515 versus 19450, a 23.8% lead.

The Intel also holds Cinebench scores recorded in the database. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 31390, with a single-core score of 4431. The AMD has no Cinebench entries in the database, so a direct comparison in that suite is not possible from the recorded data.
