AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core 5 330 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE and the Intel Core 5 330 are processors built for very different environments, as reflected in their 13-to-4 split in head-to-head benchmark wins. The AMD part, a desktop chip with 8 cores and 16 threads, dominates multi-threaded and memory-bandwidth-sensitive workloads. The Intel part, a mobile processor with 6 cores and 6 threads, counters with superior single-thread scores and specific math workloads. The recorded data positions the AMD chip at the 81st percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel chip sits at the 72nd percentile.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE is the clear winner in multi-core rendering and data-heavy tasks. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 17759 against the Intel Core 5 330’s 13150, a 35% advantage. The gap widens dramatically in integer math, where the AMD part scores 84004 versus 33258, a 152.6% lead. This pattern repeats across data compression (74.1% lead), random string sorting (54% lead), and data encryption (52.9% lead). The AMD chip’s 8 cores and 16 threads give it a structural advantage in parallel workloads, and its 16 MB of L3 cache helps with larger working sets.

The Intel Core 5 330 wins in three distinct categories: PassMark single-thread, PassMark physics, and PassMark find prime numbers. Its single-thread score of 4088 beats the AMD part’s 3353 by 18%, a notable margin that suggests stronger per-core execution. The physics score of 1201 versus 841 is a 30% win, and the prime number finding score of 114 versus 50 is a 56.1% win. These are lighter, latency-sensitive workloads where the Intel chip’s higher clock efficiency and newer architecture appear to matter more than raw core count.

For users running Cinebench, compression, or encryption tasks, the AMD part is the stronger choice. For single-threaded applications, physics simulations, and prime-number stress tests, the Intel part takes the lead.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most decisive result in the entire comparison is PassMark integer math. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE delivers 84004, while the Intel Core 5 330 manages 33258. That is a 152.6% advantage for the AMD part, the largest delta in any recorded test. The AMD chip’s 8 cores and 16 threads allow it to process integer operations in parallel far more effectively than the Intel chip’s 6 cores and 6 threads.

Data compression shows a similar pattern. The AMD part scores 252937 against the Intel part’s 145287, a 74.1% lead. Data encryption follows with 16937 versus 11076, a 52.9% gap. Random string sorting adds another large win for the AMD chip: 27373 versus 17771, a 54% margin. These three workloads are all memory and thread-count sensitive, and the AMD part’s larger cache and higher thread count deliver consistent advantages.

Cinebench results are uniform across all three versions. In Cinebench R15, the AMD part wins multi-core 1789 to 1325 (35%) and single-core 252 to 186 (35.5%). In Cinebench R20, the AMD part wins multi-core 7458 to 5523 (35%) and single-core 1052 to 779 (35%). In Cinebench R23, the AMD part wins multi-core 17759 to 13150 (35%) and single-core 2507 to 1856 (35.1%). The single-core Cinebench results are notable because the Intel chip wins PassMark single-thread, yet the AMD chip wins every Cinebench single-core test. This indicates the two suites measure different aspects of single-thread performance.

The Intel Core 5 330’s wins are concentrated in PassMark tests. Its single-thread score of 4088 beats the AMD part’s 3353 by 18%. The physics score of 1201 is 30% higher than the AMD part’s 841. In find prime numbers, the Intel chip scores 114 versus 50, a 56.1% advantage. The floating point math test is the closest result: the AMD part scores 46589 against 43885, a modest 6.2% lead.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in core configuration. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE has 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core 5 330 has 6 cores and 6 threads. The AMD part has a base clock of 3.20 GHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 1.50 GHz. Both chips boost to 4.60 GHz.

Thermal design power separates them clearly. The AMD part is rated at 35 W TDP, while the Intel part is rated at 15 W TDP. This reflects their intended platforms: the AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM4 for desktop systems, while the Intel chip uses Intel BGA 1516 for mobile systems.

Cache layouts differ. The AMD part uses 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. The Intel part uses 192 KB L1 total, 2.5 MB L2 total, and 6 MB shared L3. Memory support also differs: the AMD chip supports DDR4 with dual-channel memory, while the Intel chip supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with single-channel memory. The Intel chip has a higher memory bandwidth rating at 59.7 GB/s versus 51.2 GB/s for the AMD part. PCIe support differs as well, with the AMD part offering Gen 3 with 16 lanes and the Intel part offering Gen 4 with 6 lanes. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on TSMC’s 7 nm process. It contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 5 330 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, built on Intel’s 3 nm process. The Intel part’s transistor count and die size are not recorded in the database.

The AMD part integrates Radeon Vega 8 graphics, while the Intel part integrates Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The AMD chip belongs to the 5000 series and was released on September 4, 2024. The Intel chip belongs to the Core 5 generation and was released on April 15, 2026. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $309.

The manufacturing process difference is significant: 7 nm for AMD versus 3 nm for Intel. This helps explain why the Intel part achieves comparable single-thread performance with a much lower 15 W TDP. The AMD part’s larger transistor count and die size reflect its desktop-oriented design with more cores and threads. The Intel part’s lower TDP and mobile socket make it suitable for compact systems, but its 6-thread limit caps its multi-core potential against the AMD part’s 16 threads. The recorded data shows the AMD part wins 13 of 17 head-to-head benchmarks, with the Intel part’s wins limited to three PassMark tests.
