AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core 5 223PE Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded benchmark data delivers a clear and unambiguous outcome: the Intel Core 5 223PE outperforms the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE in every single measured test. Across all 17 head-to-head comparisons, the Intel processor takes the win, with the AMD part showing no victories. The Intel Core 5 223PE posts an average benchmark score of 40585, placing it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE averages 29656, sitting in the 81st percentile. The performance gap is substantial, with the Intel part leading by roughly 37% in average score. For any workload where raw speed is the priority, the data points squarely at the Intel Core 5 223PE.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE does have a role, but it is not defined by winning benchmarks. Its 35 W TDP is the standout trait, making it the choice for systems where power draw is the primary constraint. The Intel part, with its 65 W TDP, demands more energy but returns significantly higher scores. The database shows no scenario where the AMD chip wins a performance test, so its appeal rests entirely on efficiency and platform compatibility, not on speed.

Where Each One Wins

Based strictly on the head-to-head results, the Intel Core 5 223PE wins in all 17 recorded benchmarks. This includes every Cinebench iteration (R15, R20, R23) in both single-core and multi-core modes, plus every Passmark workload. The largest margins appear in multi-core rendering and physics simulations. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 26455 versus 17759 for the AMD chip, a 32.9% advantage. In Passmark physics, the Intel part scores 2493 against 841, a 66.3% lead. The Intel chip also dominates in prime number finding, scoring 159 versus 50, a 68.6% gap.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins nowhere in the recorded data. Its closest margins come in Passmark integer math, where it trails by 15.8%, and data encryption, where it trails by 8.2%. These are still losses, but they show the AMD chip is less far behind in integer-heavy and encryption tasks. The Intel Core 5 223PE leads by the smallest margin in data encryption, 18448 versus 16937, indicating that the AMD part remains competitive in that specific workload despite the overall deficit.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and manufacturing approaches. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 223PE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded in the database. The process node difference gives AMD a density advantage in theory, but the benchmark results show Intel's design delivers far higher performance.

Cache configurations differ markedly. The AMD part offers 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The larger L2 and L3 caches on the Intel side likely contribute to its lead in memory-sensitive workloads, though the database does not attribute causation directly. Both processors feature 8 cores and 16 threads, so the core count is identical.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD chip supports only DDR4 with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. That higher memory bandwidth aligns with the Intel part's superior scores in bandwidth-heavy tests. The Intel chip also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics differ, with the AMD part featuring Radeon Vega 8 and the Intel part featuring UHD Graphics 730.
