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

The Verdict

The benchmark data splits these two desktop processors into clearly different roles. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins 4 of the 11 head-to-head tests, while the Intel Core 7 253PTE wins 7. The AMD part takes the lead in data compression, data encryption, extended instructions, and random string sorting. The Intel part dominates in prime number finding, floating point math, integer math, multithreaded workloads, physics, and single-thread tests.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the choice for workloads that involve compression, encryption, or string manipulation. Its 25.5% lead in data encryption and 19.8% lead in extended instructions are substantial margins. The Intel Core 7 253PTE is the choice for general compute, particularly math-heavy tasks and single-threaded applications. The Intel part also carries a higher average benchmark score in its nearest rival group, though the AMD part sits in the 90th percentile versus the Intel part's 84th percentile across all CPUs.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE carries a launch MSRP of $384. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP in the database. The Intel part delivers a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz versus 4.60 GHz on the AMD part, and it uses a newer socket with PCIe Gen 5 support. The AMD part uses a smaller 7 nm process node versus the Intel part's 10 nm node, which explains its lower 65 W TDP versus the Intel part's 45 W TDP, though the AMD part still draws more power on paper.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins the security and data-handling categories. Its data compression score of 295730 beats the Intel part's 275828 by 7.2%. Data encryption shows a larger gap: 19450 versus 15500, a 25.5% advantage. Extended instructions, which cover things like AES and other specialized operations, favor AMD by 19.8% (20487 versus 17099). Random string sorting also goes to AMD, 32771 versus 28227, a 16.1% margin.

The Intel Core 7 253PTE wins the raw compute categories. Integer math shows 119552 versus 90270, a 24.5% advantage. Floating point math shows 67209 versus 50778, a 24.4% advantage. The prime number finding test favors Intel heavily: 82 versus 58, a 29.3% margin. Physics simulation goes to Intel, 1318 versus 1022, a 22.5% lead. The multithreaded PassMark score favors Intel by 4.7% (25031 versus 23858). Single-thread performance also favors Intel, 3794 versus 3366, an 11.3% margin.

The use-case split is clear. AMD wins where memory access patterns or specialized instruction paths matter, such as compression and encryption. Intel wins where raw arithmetic throughput or single-core speed matters, such as physics, math, and prime number generation.
