AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits this comparison cleanly along workload type. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G claims 7 of the 11 head-to-head tests, while the Intel Core 7 360 takes 4. The AMD part dominates in throughput-heavy tasks, particularly those that scale with core count and memory bandwidth. The Intel part wins in latency-sensitive and single-threaded workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G shows its largest advantage in integer math, where it scores 90,270 against the Intel Core 7 360's 34,238, a 163.7% lead. Data compression follows at 295,730 versus 142,877, a 107% difference. These are large, structural gaps, not marginal wins. The AMD chip also leads in random string sorting by 85.8%, encryption by 74.2%, and extended instructions by 65.4%. Multithreaded performance favors AMD by 53.5%, with a score of 23,858 versus 15,544. Floating-point math is closer, but AMD still wins by 12.9%, scoring 50,778 against 44,963.

The Intel Core 7 360 wins on single-thread performance, scoring 4,274 versus 3,366, a 21.2% advantage. It also leads in prime number finding, scoring 120 versus 58, a 51.7% margin in AMD's disfavor. The physics test goes to Intel as well, 1,213 versus 1,022, a 15.7% lead. These wins point to strong per-core execution and clock speed behavior, despite the Intel part having fewer cores and threads.

The average benchmark score tells the broader story. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G posts 49,196 on average, placing it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Intel Core 7 360 averages 18,374, in the 72nd percentile. The AMD chip's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900, Intel Core i5-14600KF, Intel Core Ultra 5 245, and Intel Xeon Gold 5318H, all within roughly 1% of its average score. The Intel Core 7 360 sits alongside the Intel Core i3-13100, Intel Core 5 330, Intel Core i3-14100, and Intel Core 3 305, all within 0.4% of its average. That places the two processors in entirely different performance strata, despite their shared PRO or Core naming.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward. For multi-threaded, memory-heavy, or parallel compute workloads, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is the stronger part by a wide margin. For single-threaded tasks, lightweight scripting, or workloads sensitive to per-core responsiveness, the Intel Core 7 360 holds the advantage.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing processes. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is built on TSMC's 7 nm node and uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename. It belongs to the Ryzen 7 generation of the 5000 series. The Intel Core 7 360 uses Intel's 3 nm process and the Wildcat Lake codename, belonging to the Core 5 generation. Intel lists no formal architecture name for the part, but the process node and codename indicate a newer, denser design.

Core counts differ sharply. The AMD chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel chip has 6 cores and 6 threads. That means the Intel part has no hyperthreading or equivalent simultaneous multithreading, which directly explains its lower multithreaded scores. The AMD part's 16 threads give it a large parallel processing advantage across the board.

Clock speeds also differ in important ways. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel Core 7 360 has a much lower base clock of 1.50 GHz but a higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The wide gap between base and boost on the Intel part suggests aggressive power management, which is consistent with its 15 W TDP. The AMD part has a 65 W TDP, a much higher sustained power envelope.

Cache layouts reflect the architectural split. The AMD chip uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip uses 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The Intel part's larger per-core L1 and L2 caches help explain its single-thread advantage, while the AMD part's larger L3 pool supports its multithreaded and data-heavy workloads.

Memory support is another major differentiator. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G supports DDR4 over a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Core 7 360 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but only over a single-channel bus, with 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite the newer memory type, the Intel part's single-channel configuration limits its aggregate bandwidth to a modest improvement over the AMD part, and the AMD part's dual-channel interface provides better parallel memory access in multi-threaded scenarios.

PCIe support differs as well. The AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The Intel part has a newer PCIe generation, which supports higher per-lane bandwidth, but the AMD part has many more lanes for expansion.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G includes Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The Intel Core 7 360 includes Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. Neither part is positioned as a gaming GPU, but the iGPU configurations reflect different platform goals.

The AMD part is a desktop processor on AMD Socket AM4. The Intel part is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 1516. That distinction matters for system integration: the AMD chip fits in a desktop board, while the Intel chip is soldered into a mobile platform. Neither CPU has an unlocked multiplier.

The AMD processor has a transistor count of 10,700 million and a die size of 180 mm². The Intel part lists no transistor count or die size in the database. The AMD chip's larger die and older process node explain its higher TDP and desktop orientation.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The biggest single win for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G comes in integer math. The AMD chip scores 90,270, the Intel chip scores 34,238, and the delta is 163.7% in AMD's favor. That is a massive gap, larger than any other test in the comparison. Integer math exercises the CPU's ALU throughput, and the AMD part's 8 cores plus 16 threads simply overwhelm the Intel part's 6 cores and 6 threads.

Data compression shows a similar pattern. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G hits 295,730, while the Intel Core 7 360 reaches 142,877, a 107% lead for AMD. Compression workloads are heavily dependent on memory bandwidth and cache capacity, and the AMD part's dual-channel DDR4 bus plus 16 MB of L3 cache gives it a clear structural advantage over the Intel part's single-channel DDR5 configuration.

Random string sorting also favors AMD heavily. The AMD chip scores 32,771, the Intel chip scores 17,636, a 85.8% difference. Encryption follows with AMD at 19,450 and Intel at 11,164, a 74.2% gap. Extended instructions go to AMD as well, 20,487 versus 12,390, a 65.4% advantage. All of these tests reward parallel execution and memory throughput, which are the AMD part's strongest attributes.

The multithread test confirms the overall trend. AMD scores 23,858, Intel scores 15,544, a 53.5% margin. Floating-point math is the closest AMD win, at 50,778 versus 44,963, a 12.9% lead. Even in a test where the gap narrows, the AMD part still holds the edge.

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in single-thread performance. Its score of 4,274 beats AMD's 3,366 by 21.2%. This is the most important Intel win, because it signals stronger per-core execution, likely driven by the higher 4.80 GHz boost clock and the larger per-core L1 and L2 caches. The Intel part also wins in prime number finding, scoring 120 versus 58, a 51.7% advantage. Prime number tests are notoriously single-thread bound, so this result aligns with the single-thread score.

Physics is the other Intel win, with a score of 1,213 versus 1,022, a 15.7% margin. Physics simulations in PassMark tend to favor higher clock speeds and efficient instruction pipelines, which again points to the Intel part's per-core strength.

The overall score distribution is lopsided in AMD's favor, but the Intel part is not without merit. Its single-thread performance is clearly superior, and in workloads that cannot use multiple threads, the Intel Core 7 360 would be the faster part. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G, however, delivers far higher aggregate throughput across the benchmark suite, and its average score of 49,196 places it in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, compared to the Intel part's 72nd percentile. The database records 7 wins for AMD and 4 for Intel, which matches the performance split observed in the individual tests.
