AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark data shows a decisive overall advantage for the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE, which wins 13 of the 17 recorded comparisons. The Intel Core 7 360 takes 4 wins. The margin of victory in many of the AMD wins is substantial, particularly in compute-heavy tasks. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the AMD scores 17,759 against Intel's 13,634, a 30.3% advantage. The single-core R23 result follows the same pattern: 2,507 versus 1,924, again a 30.3% lead for AMD. The R15 and R20 variants show nearly identical deltas, with AMD ahead by 30.2% in R15 multi-core (1,789 vs 1,374), 30.6% in R15 single-core (252 vs 193), and 30.2% in both R20 multi-core (7,458 vs 5,726) and R20 single-core (1,052 vs 808). This consistency across all three Cinebench generations indicates a structural performance gap rather than an artifact of any single test version.

The PassMark suite reveals where the AMD processor creates its largest gaps. In integer math, AMD scores 84,004 versus Intel's 34,238, a 145.4% difference, the largest single delta in the entire comparison. Data compression shows an 77% advantage (252,937 vs 142,877). Random string sorting favors AMD by 55.2% (27,373 vs 17,636). Data encryption is 51.7% ahead (16,937 vs 11,164), and extended instructions are 37.4% ahead (17,029 vs 12,390). Multi-threaded performance in PassMark is 34.3% higher (20,870 vs 15,544). Floating-point math is the closest AMD win at 3.6% (46,589 vs 44,963).

The Intel Core 7 360 wins four specific tests, and they reveal a distinct profile. The PassMark single-thread test shows Intel at 4,274 versus AMD's 3,353, a 21.5% lead. The physics test goes to Intel by 30.7% (1,213 vs 841), and the prime number search test is Intel's largest win at 58.3% (120 vs 50). These wins are concentrated in single-threaded integer throughput and specialized workloads, but they do not offset the breadth of AMD's multi-core dominance. The overall average benchmark score reflects this: AMD sits at 29,656 versus Intel's 18,374.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename, built on Intel's 3 nm process. It has 6 cores and 6 threads, with no simultaneous multithreading, a base clock of 1.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The higher boost clock on the Intel part explains its single-thread wins, while the AMD part's 8-core, 16-thread configuration drives its multi-thread advantage.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. AMD provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 16 MB shared L3. Intel provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and a 6 MB shared L3. The larger L3 on AMD (16 MB vs 6 MB) gives it a significant capacity advantage for data-heavy workloads. The per-core L1 and L2 numbers are higher on Intel, but the aggregate cache capacity favors AMD.

Memory support is another major divergence. AMD uses DDR4 with a dual-channel memory bus and 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Intel uses DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a single-channel memory bus and 59.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite the single-channel limitation, Intel's newer memory standard provides higher raw bandwidth. Neither processor supports ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs as well: AMD offers Gen 3 with 16 CPU lanes, while Intel offers Gen 4 with 6 CPU lanes. The Intel part has fewer lanes but a newer standard. Both processors have integrated graphics, with AMD using Radeon Vega 8 and Intel using Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores. The market segments differ: AMD is a desktop part on Socket AM4, while Intel is a mobile part on BGA 1516. The AMD part is in the Ryzen 7 generation (Zen 3 Cezanne), and the Intel part is in the Core 5 generation (Wildcat Lake). Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data supports a clear workload split. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE dominates multi-threaded rendering, mathematical computation, compression, encryption, and sorting workloads. Its Cinebench wins across R15, R20, and R23, both single and multi-core, indicate strong performance in content creation tasks. The PassMark integer math result (145.4% ahead) points to general-purpose compute favorability. Data compression and random string sorting wins suggest the AMD part handles database and archival workloads more effectively. The data encryption advantage (51.7%) indicates faster cryptographic throughput. Extended instructions at 37.4% ahead show the AMD part processes vectorized and specialized instruction sets more efficiently. The multi-thread PassMark score of 20,870 versus 15,544 confirms that workloads with high thread counts will scale better on the AMD processor.

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in specific areas. The PassMark single-thread score of 4,274 versus 3,353, a 21.5% lead, shows the Intel part has higher peak clock-driven performance for lightly threaded applications. The physics test result (1,213 vs 841, a 30.7% advantage) suggests the Intel part handles certain simulation or physics engine workloads better. The prime number search result (120 vs 50, a 58.3% lead) indicates an algorithmic advantage in integer-heavy loops that are sensitive to clock speed and per-core efficiency. The floating-point math test is nearly a tie, with AMD ahead by only 3.6%, so that category is effectively neutral.

The average benchmark score places the AMD part at the 81st percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part sits at the 72nd percentile. AMD's nearest rival in the database is the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with an average score of 29,713, a 0.2% difference, and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H at 29,868, a 0.7% difference. Intel's nearest rivals are the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18,380 (0% delta), the Intel Core 5 330 at 18,345 (0.2%), and the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18,318 (0.3%). These comparisons show the AMD part competes at a higher performance tier overall, while the Intel part aligns with the entry-level Core i3 range.
