AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data for the Intel Core 5 211TE shows a decisive advantage over the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE across nearly every measured workload. However, the AMD part is not without its own areas of strength, particularly in single-threaded efficiency metrics.

The Intel Core 5 211TE records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12201, representing the strongest multi-threaded result in its benchmark suite. The Ryzen 5 5605GE has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning all direct comparisons must be drawn from the Intel part's performance profile and its position relative to other processors. The Intel chip also delivers a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 5124 and a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1229, confirming consistent scaling across different rendering workloads.

In single-core tests, the Intel Core 5 211TE posts a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1722, a Cinebench R20 single-core score of 723, and a Cinebench R15 single-core score of 173. These results place the chip in a competitive position for lightly threaded applications. The PassMark single-thread score of 1408 further corroborates the single-core performance profile.

The PassMark suite reveals additional strengths. The Intel Core 5 211TE achieves a multi-thread score of 11685, an integer math score of 33991, a floating point math score of 26150, and an extended instructions score of 8615. The data compression score of 133434 is particularly notable, indicating strong throughput in compression workloads. The random string sorting score of 14838 and the find prime numbers score of 72 round out the integer-heavy workload results. The encryption score of 7231 and physics score of 1278 complete the PassMark benchmark set.

The average benchmark score for the Intel Core 5 211TE is 15370, placing it in the 69th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7543 with an average score of 15477, representing a delta of -0.7 percent relative to the Intel part, meaning the EPYC is slightly ahead. The AMD EPYC 7702P scores 15130, a delta of 1.6 percent behind the Intel chip. The AMD Ryzen 3 7440U scores 15682, a delta of -2 percent, placing it ahead of the Intel part. The Intel Core i3-1315U scores 15022, a delta of 2.3 percent behind.

These rival comparisons show the Intel Core 5 211TE sits in a tightly contested performance band. It trails the Ryzen 3 7440U by 2 percent and the EPYC 7543 by 0.7 percent, while leading the EPYC 7702P by 1.6 percent and the Core i3-1315U by 2.3 percent. The data indicates the Intel part delivers performance within a narrow margin of its closest competitors, with no single rival holding a commanding lead.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no benchmark scores recorded in the database and a percentile rank of 50, placing it at the median of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is listed as zero, reflecting the absence of recorded measurements. This makes direct numerical comparison between the two processors impossible from the available data.

Architecture Differences

The two processors employ fundamentally different design approaches. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Core 5 211TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part provides 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part offers 10 cores and 16 threads. This gives the Intel chip a 4-core and 4-thread advantage, which directly contributes to its multi-threaded benchmark results. The base clock of the AMD chip is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The Intel chip has a base clock of 1.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, indicating a wider clock range and a higher peak frequency.

Cache layouts diverge significantly. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel Core 5 211TE provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger per-core L2 allocation and larger shared L3 cache provide a structural advantage in cache-sensitive workloads.

Transistor counts and die sizes also differ. The AMD processor contains 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel processor's transistor count is not recorded in the database, but its die size is 215 mm². The AMD chip's smaller die on a more advanced process node reflects the density advantage of the 7 nm TSMC process.

Memory support marks another clear divergence. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE supports DDR4 memory only, with dual-channel operation and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel Core 5 211TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also in dual-channel configuration, with a higher memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. The Intel part additionally supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not.

PCIe capabilities differ by generation. The AMD chip provides PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip provides PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, representing a two-generation advancement in interconnect bandwidth.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE uses Radeon Vega 7 graphics, while the Intel Core 5 211TE uses UHD Graphics 730. Both target desktop platforms, but through different sockets: the AMD part uses Socket AM4, while the Intel part uses Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports a clear performance hierarchy between these two processors, though the absence of benchmark scores for the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE limits direct comparison. The Intel Core 5 211TE has a substantial body of benchmark results, an average score of 15370, and a 69th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The AMD part sits at the 50th percentile with no recorded scores.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel Core 5 211TE's 10 cores and 16 threads, combined with its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12201 and PassMark multi-thread score of 11685, indicate strong parallel performance. The AMD part's 6 cores and 12 threads would likely struggle to match these results, though no direct measurements exist to confirm this.

For single-threaded performance, the Intel chip's boost clock of 4.80 GHz and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1722 suggest competitive lightly threaded performance. The AMD chip's lower boost clock of 4.40 GHz and older Zen 3 architecture would typically indicate a single-core deficit, but again, no recorded scores exist for the AMD part.

The Intel Core 5 211TE also offers more capable memory support with DDR4 and DDR5 compatibility, higher memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, ECC memory support, and PCIe Gen 5 connectivity. These platform-level advantages reinforce its position as the more feature-complete processor.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE does present a lower thermal design power of 35 watts compared to the Intel chip's 45 watts. The AMD part also has a higher base clock of 3.40 GHz versus 1.70 GHz, and it has an unlocked multiplier, allowing overclocking. The Intel chip has a locked multiplier. The AMD part uses the more advanced 7 nm process node and contains 10,700 million transistors.

The data indicates the Intel Core 5 211TE is the stronger performer on every measurable benchmark dimension. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE, with its lower TDP and unlocked multiplier, would appeal to users prioritizing power efficiency and overclocking flexibility. The Intel part's benchmark record, higher core count, larger cache, and newer memory and PCIe standards make it the more capable processor for demanding workloads.
