AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Core 5 211E Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data shows two desktop processors aimed at different deployment scenarios. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G carries no benchmark scores in the database, while the Intel Core 5 211E has a full suite of measurements. The Intel part sits at the 86th percentile versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37,829. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 scores 37,804 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 435 scores 37,762 (0.2% behind), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 scores 37,904 (0.2% ahead), and the Intel Core i9-14901E scores 37,911 (0.2% ahead). This places the Core 5 211E in a competitive band where four other parts land within 0.2% of its average. The Ryzen 7 5705G, lacking any recorded benchmark results, cannot be ranked against the Core 5 211E from the database. Its 50th percentile standing, derived from an average benchmark score of zero, indicates no measured performance data exists for comparison. For any buyer needing verified performance numbers, the Intel Core 5 211E is the only option with substantiated results. The AMD part remains a specification-only entry with no measured output.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge fundamentally in design. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 8 cores and 16 threads. The Intel Core 5 211E uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel. Despite the process node disadvantage, the Intel part fields 10 cores and 16 threads, two more physical cores than the AMD chip while matching its thread count. The transistor counts differ dramatically: AMD lists 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die, while Intel does not report a transistor figure but shows a larger 257 mm² die. Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD chip provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel chip provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3. The Intel part thus offers a larger L3 pool and substantially more L2 per core, which can benefit workloads with high per-core data reuse. The AMD part uses the AM4 socket, the Intel part uses Socket 1700. Both are active production desktop parts, but their platform requirements are entirely separate.

Memory support marks another clear split. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G supports DDR4 only, dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 211E supports both DDR4 and DDR5, dual-channel, with a memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. That bandwidth advantage, 25.6 GB/s higher than the AMD part, comes from DDR5 capability. The Intel chip also supports ECC memory, while the AMD chip does not. PCIe connectivity differs as well: the AMD part runs PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part runs PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, a two-generation jump in interconnect speed. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip uses Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 730. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel part does not. Release timing places the Intel part at January 12, 2025, and the AMD part at February 23, 2025, roughly five weeks later. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $221; the AMD part has no listed launch MSRP.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G and the Intel Core 5 211E, and no benchmark scores for the AMD part at all. The comparison can only be analyzed through the Intel chip's standalone measurements and its percentile standing. The Core 5 211E delivers a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2,055 and a single-core score of 289. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 8,563 multicore and 1,208 single-core. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score climbs to 20,389 and the single-core score to 2,878. These Cinebench figures show a multicore-to-single-core ratio that scales with thread count, consistent with a 10-core, 16-thread part.

The PassMark suite provides additional granularity. The Core 5 211E scores 23,833 in multithread tests and 4,006 in single-thread tests. Integer math reaches 88,117, floating point math 66,402, and extended instructions 21,592. Data compression hits 346,757, while data encryption reaches 17,938. Random string sorting scores 34,308, physics scores 702, and find prime numbers scores 43. The average benchmark score of 37,829 places the chip at the 86th percentile versus all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132, is essentially tied at 37,804, just 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Intel Core i9-14901E both sit 0.2% higher. These deltas are small enough to be within run-to-run variation, meaning the Core 5 211E is positioned in a dense performance cluster. Without any recorded scores for the Ryzen 7 5705G, no direct win or loss can be assigned between the two parts. The Intel chip's data confirms it is a mid-to-high percentile performer among all CPUs, but its specific edge over the AMD part cannot be quantified from the database.
