AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core 5 315 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall advantage for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, which wins 13 of the 17 head-to-head comparisons. The Intel Core 5 315 takes four wins, but those are concentrated in specific workloads where its architecture shows clear strengths.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, the AMD part leads every single test by a consistent margin. In Cinebench R15 multicore, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 1789 against 1308 for the Intel Core 5 315, a delta of 36.8%. The single-core R15 test shows the same pattern: 252 versus 184, a 37% advantage. Moving to Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 7458 versus 5452 (36.8% delta), and single-core is 1052 versus 769 (36.8% delta). Cinebench R23 mirrors these results: multicore 17759 versus 12981, single-core 2507 versus 1832, both with a 36.8% delta. The consistency of this gap across all three Cinebench versions indicates that the AMD processor holds a structural advantage in both threaded and lightly threaded rendering workloads.

The PassMark suite reveals a more nuanced picture. In integer math, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE delivers 84004 points versus 31690 for the Intel Core 5 315, which is a 165.1% lead, the largest margin in the entire comparison. Data compression also favors AMD heavily: 252937 versus 146143, a 73.1% delta. Random string sorting shows a 56% advantage (27373 versus 17551), and data encryption is 52.3% ahead (16937 versus 11119). Extended instructions score 17029 versus 13143, a 29.6% lead. Floating point math is closer, with AMD at 46589 and Intel at 42441, a 9.8% edge. The PassMark multithread score lands at 20870 versus 15272, a 36.7% delta, which aligns with the Cinebench multicore results.

The Intel Core 5 315 wins four tests. The most striking is passmark find prime numbers, where Intel scores 112 against AMD's 50, meaning Intel leads by 55.4%. PassMark physics also goes to Intel: 1163 versus 841, a 27.7% advantage. In single-threaded PassMark tests (both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread record the same values), Intel scores 4021 versus 3353, a 16.6% lead. These wins suggest that while AMD dominates in multi-threaded integer and compression workloads, Intel holds an edge in certain scalar and physics-oriented tasks.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture: the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE sits at 29656, while the Intel Core 5 315 averages 18188. In percentile terms, AMD ranks in the 81st percentile of all CPUs, while Intel lands in the 72nd percentile.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split by workload type. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the stronger processor for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and any workload that scales across cores and threads. Its 13 wins include all Cinebench tests, integer math, data compression, encryption, extended instructions, random string sorting, floating point math, and multithread PassMark. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with a 35 W TDP delivers consistent leads between 9.8% and 165.1% over the Intel part in these categories.

The Intel Core 5 315, despite being a 6-core, 6-thread mobile chip with a 15 W TDP, wins in prime number finding, physics simulation, and single-threaded PassMark scores. Its 4021 single-thread PassMark score is 16.6% higher than AMD's 3353, indicating that for lightly threaded, latency-sensitive tasks, Intel has the edge. The physics result (1163 versus 841) also suggests that certain simulation or game-physics workloads could favor the Intel chip.

For users running heavily parallel workloads such as video rendering, code compilation, data compression, or encryption, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the clear choice based on the recorded benchmarks. For those prioritizing single-thread responsiveness or specific physics-based tasks, the Intel Core 5 315 shows measurable advantages. The overall average score difference, 29656 versus 18188, puts AMD ahead by roughly 63%, but that aggregate hides the specific workloads where Intel wins.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename. It is built on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The chip has 8 cores and 16 threads, with base and boost clocks of 3.20 GHz and 4.60 GHz respectively. Cache is organized as 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. It supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are Radeon Vega 8.

The Intel Core 5 315 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, built on a 3 nm process at Intel. It has 6 cores and 6 threads, with no hyper-threading. Base clock is 1.50 GHz and boost is 4.40 GHz. The cache layout differs substantially: 192 KB L1, 2.5 MB L2, and 6 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR5 and LPDDR5X, but the bus is single-channel, delivering 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. PCIe is Gen 4 with 6 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics are Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The process node difference (3 nm versus 7 nm) and the newer memory standard give Intel advantages in memory bandwidth per channel, though the single-channel bus limits total throughput.

The transistor count and die size for the Intel chip are not recorded in the database, so a direct comparison on that front is not possible. The socket types are entirely different: AMD uses Socket AM4, while Intel uses BGA 1516, which is a soldered mobile package. The AMD chip is classified as a desktop part, while Intel is a mobile part, which explains the TDP difference: 35 W for AMD versus 15 W for Intel.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins in all Cinebench tests, including R15, R20, and R23, in both multicore and single-core variants. It also wins in PassMark data compression (252937 versus 146143), data encryption (16937 versus 11119), extended instructions (17029 versus 13143), floating point math (46589 versus 42441), integer math (84004 versus 31690), multithread (20870 versus 15272), and random string sorting (27373 versus 17551). These wins indicate dominance in rendering, compression, encryption, and general parallel integer and floating point workloads.

The Intel Core 5 315 wins in PassMark find prime numbers (112 versus 50), PassMark physics (1163 versus 841), and both PassMark single-thread tests (4021 versus 3353). These wins indicate an advantage in prime number computation, which is often used in cryptographic and mathematical workloads, as well as in physics simulation and lightly threaded single-core tasks.

For users running multi-threaded rendering or compilation, the AMD processor's 36.8% Cinebench lead and 165.1% integer math lead make it the obvious choice. For workloads that rely on single-thread performance or specific physics calculations, the Intel chip's 16.6% single-thread PassMark lead and 27.7% physics lead could be more relevant. The overall average benchmark score, 29656 versus 18188, places AMD ahead, but the Intel chip's wins should not be ignored for niche use cases.
