Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE and Intel Core 3 305 come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD part is built on Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 305 uses Wildcat Lake architecture on Intel’s 3 nm process. The database does not list transistor count or die size for the Intel part.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD processor allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 per core, with a 16 MB L3 pool. The Intel processor has a total of 192 KB L1, 2.5 MB L2, and 6 MB shared L3. This gives the AMD part a much larger aggregate cache, which contributes to its strong multi-threaded performance.

Memory architecture also diverges. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE supports DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel Core 3 305 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X but uses a single-channel memory bus, delivering 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. Despite the higher raw bandwidth figure, the single-channel configuration limits the Intel part in memory-heavy workloads.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD chip provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. The integrated graphics also differ: AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, while Intel uses Xe3 Graphics (1 Xe).

The market positioning is clear from the socket and segment. AMD uses the Socket AM4 and is classified as a Desktop part. Intel uses BGA 1516 and is classified as Mobile. The AMD part has a 35 W TDP, while the Intel part has a 15 W TDP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE dominates the Cinebench suite across the board. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, it scores 1789 against the Intel Core 3 305’s 1322, a 35.3% advantage. Single-core R15 shows the same pattern: 252 vs 186, a 35.5% lead. This consistency repeats in R20 multi-core (7458 vs 5511, 35.3% ahead) and R20 single-core (1052 vs 777, 35.4% ahead). Cinebench R23 multi-core gives 17759 vs 13123 (35.3% ahead), and R23 single-core gives 2507 vs 1852 (35.4% ahead).

PassMark integer math is the largest win for AMD. The Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 84004, which is 160.1% higher than the Intel Core 3 305’s 32295. Data compression also favors AMD heavily: 252937 vs 146857, a 72.2% delta. Data encryption shows 16937 vs 11019, a 53.7% lead. Random string sorting favors AMD by 55.3%, with 27373 vs 17623.

Extended instructions go to AMD by 25.7% (17029 vs 13543). Floating-point math is closer: AMD leads by 10.2% with 46589 vs 42284. PassMark multi-thread shows AMD ahead by 35.2%, scoring 20870 vs 15439.

The Intel Core 3 305 wins four tests. The largest Intel win is in PassMark find prime numbers, where it scores 115 versus AMD’s 50, a 56.5% advantage. PassMark physics also goes to Intel: 1233 vs 841, a 31.8% lead. The single_thread test shows Intel ahead by 15.7% with 3977 vs 3353. That same score appears again in the singlethread test, which is a duplicate result.

The overall average benchmark score reflects the gap. The AMD part has an average of 29656, while the Intel part sits at 18302. The AMD processor ranks in the 81st percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel part ranks in the 72nd percentile.

The database lists a release date of September 2024 for AMD and April 2026 for Intel. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $309; the AMD part has no listed MSRP.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the clear choice for multi-threaded productivity workloads. Cinebench multi-core scores across R15, R20, and R23 all show a consistent 35.3% advantage. Integer math shows the most extreme gap at 160.1%. Data compression, encryption, and random string sorting all favor AMD by margins between 53.7% and 72.2%. Extended instructions and floating-point math also go to AMD, though the latter is a closer 10.2% lead. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 16 MB L3 cache clearly serves compute-heavy tasks well.

The Intel Core 3 305 wins in specific single-threaded and specialized scenarios. PassMark single_thread shows a 15.7% lead, which is notable given the Intel part’s lower boost clock of 4.30 GHz versus AMD’s 4.60 GHz. The find prime numbers test shows a dramatic 56.5% Intel advantage, suggesting the Wildcat Lake architecture handles that specific workload pattern better. PassMark physics also favors Intel by 31.8%, which may indicate different instruction scheduling behavior. The 15 W TDP makes the Intel part much more power-efficient on paper.

For all-around benchmark average, the AMD part sits at 29656, which places it in the 81st percentile. The Intel part’s 18302 average places it in the 72nd percentile. The AMD processor’s nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with an average score of 29713, a delta of only 0.2%. The Intel part’s nearest rival is the Intel Core i3-14100 with 18318, a delta of 0.1%. This indicates the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE competes at a performance tier roughly 62% higher than the Intel Core 3 305 based on average scores.

The Verdict

The benchmark data shows a clear performance hierarchy. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins 13 of 17 head-to-head comparisons and holds a substantial average score advantage of 29656 versus 18302. Every Cinebench test, whether single-core or multi-core, goes to AMD by roughly 35%. The largest margin is integer math at 160.1%. For any workload involving data compression, encryption, sorting, or general compute, the AMD part is decisively faster.

The Intel Core 3 305 has specific strengths that should not be ignored. Its 15.7% single-thread win in PassMark shows it handles lightly threaded applications well. The 56.5% advantage in find prime numbers and 31.8% lead in physics indicate architectural efficiency in certain narrow workloads. The 15 W TDP also makes it attractive for power-constrained designs, and the single-channel memory support with DDR5/LPDDR5X suggests a different platform target.

The database classifies the AMD part as a desktop processor on Socket AM4 with a 35 W TDP. The Intel part is a mobile processor on BGA 1516 with a 15 W TDP. These are different market segments. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE delivers desktop-grade multi-threaded performance with 8 cores, 16 threads, and 16 MB L3 cache. The Intel Core 3 305 delivers mobile efficiency with 6 cores, 6 threads, and 6 MB L3 cache.

The choice comes down to workload and platform. The recorded data supports the AMD processor for users who need sustained multi-core throughput, heavy data processing, or compilation work. The Intel processor suits scenarios where single-thread responsiveness, low power draw, and the specific physics or prime-number workloads matter more. The percentile rankings confirm this: the AMD part sits at 81, the Intel part at 72, meaning the AMD chip outperforms a larger fraction of the CPU population in the database’s measurements.
