Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE and Intel Core 5 320 represent fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD processor uses the Zen 3 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process, with the Cezanne codename. It is built for the AMD Socket AM4 platform and belongs to the 5000 series. The Intel Core 5 320 uses Intel's 3 nm process with the Wildcat Lake codename, and it is a BGA 1516 mobile part.

Core configuration is a major differentiator. The AMD chip provides 8 physical cores with simultaneous multithreading, yielding 16 threads. The Intel chip provides 6 physical cores with no multithreading, yielding 6 threads. This 10-thread deficit explains much of the multi-core performance gap observed in the benchmarks.

Cache hierarchies also differ substantially. The AMD processor allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with a 16 MB L3 cache. The Intel processor lists 192 KB of L1 cache, 2.5 MB of L2 cache, and 6 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD part has nearly three times the L3 capacity, which benefits workloads with large working sets.

Process technology and transistor counts tell another story. The AMD chip integrates 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die at 7 nm. The Intel chip's transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database. Intel's 3 nm node is smaller, but the database does not provide comparative transistor density figures.

Memory architecture diverges sharply. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Intel Core 5 320 uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel memory bus and 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite the single-channel configuration, the Intel part's newer memory standard yields higher raw bandwidth.

PCI Express support differs by generation and lane count. The AMD part provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes. The Intel part provides PCIe Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes. The Intel part has the newer standard, but the AMD part offers more lanes for expansion.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD processor uses Radeon Vega 8 graphics. The Intel processor uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The database records no direct graphics benchmark comparisons between the two.

Thermal design power separates the two clearly. The AMD processor has a 35 W TDP, while the Intel processor has a 15 W TDP. The Intel part consumes less power, but the AMD part delivers substantially higher multi-core throughput. Both processors are production active and have locked multipliers.

The Verdict

The benchmark data supports a clear split by workload type. For multi-threaded productivity, rendering, and compute-heavy tasks, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the stronger part. It wins 12 of the 17 head-to-head tests, including every Cinebench multi-core test and the majority of PassMark compute tests. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 17,759 is 186.6% above the Intel part, and its PassMark integer math score of 84,004 is 159.9% higher.

The Intel Core 5 320 wins in specific single-threaded and specialized categories. Its Cinebench R15 single-core score of 276 is 8.7% higher than the AMD's 252. Its PassMark single-thread score of 4,045 is 17.1% higher than the AMD's 3,353. The Intel part also dominates in prime number finding (110 versus 50, a 54.5% advantage) and physics simulation (1,221 versus 841, a 31.1% advantage).

The average benchmark scores reflect the overall balance. The AMD part averages 29,656, which places it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. The Intel part averages 18,023, placing it in the 72nd percentile. The AMD part's nearest rivals by average score include the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X at 29,713 (0.2% higher), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 at 29,461 (0.7% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X at 29,447 (0.7% lower). The Intel part's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 17,994 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core 5 120U at 17,898 (0.7% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT at 17,891 (0.7% higher).

Workloads that stress all cores favor the AMD processor heavily. Workloads that rely on a single thread or specific instruction patterns favor the Intel processor. The Intel part's lower TDP of 15 W also makes it suitable for power-constrained mobile designs, while the AMD part's 35 W TDP and AM4 socket target desktop deployments.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single victory for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE appears in Cinebench R23 multi-core, where it scores 17,759 against the Intel Core 5 320's 6,197, a 186.6% advantage. This test scales with thread count and sustained multi-core frequency, both of which favor the AMD part's 16 threads and 35 W TDP.

PassMark integer math shows a similar pattern. The AMD part scores 84,004, which is 159.9% higher than the Intel part's 32,323. Integer math is heavily parallel and benefits from the AMD part's additional cores and threads.

Data compression is another strong AMD result. The AMD processor scores 252,937 against 148,779, a 70% advantage. Data encryption also favors the AMD part, with 16,937 versus 10,984, a 54.2% difference.

Random string sorting goes to the AMD processor at 27,373 versus 18,038, a 51.8% advantage. Extended instructions show a narrower gap: 17,029 versus 13,262, a 28.4% advantage for AMD.

Cinebench R20 results are consistent with the multi-core trend. The AMD part scores 7,458 in multi-core versus 5,462, a 36.5% advantage. In Cinebench R20 single-core, the AMD part also wins, scoring 1,052 versus 771, a 36.4% advantage. This single-core result is notable because the Intel part wins the Cinebench R15 single-core test but loses the R20 version by a wide margin.

Cinebench R15 multi-core shows a 69.7% advantage for the AMD part (1,789 versus 1,054). Floating point math is closer, with the AMD part at 46,589 versus 42,440, a 9.8% advantage.

The Intel Core 5 320 wins the remaining tests. PassMark find prime numbers shows the Intel part at 110 versus 50, a 54.5% advantage. PassMark physics shows 1,221 versus 841, a 31.1% advantage for Intel. PassMark single-thread shows 4,045 versus 3,353, a 17.1% advantage for Intel. The duplicate singlethread test records the same result.

The passmark_multithread test goes to the AMD processor at 20,870 versus 15,450, a 35.1% advantage. This result is consistent with the overall multi-core pattern, while the Intel part's single-thread wins confirm its strength in lightly threaded workloads.
