AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE vs Intel Core 5 211TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database presents a decisive picture: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins 15 of the 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons, with Intel Core 5 211TE claiming only 2. The margin of victory for AMD is not narrow in most cases, it is substantial across nearly every workload category.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, which measures both multi-core and single-core rendering performance, the AMD part holds a consistent advantage. In Cinebench R15 multi-core, AMD scores 1789 against Intel's 1229, a delta of 45.6%. The single-core R15 test shows a similar story: 252 versus 173, also a 45.7% gap. Moving to R20, the pattern repeats exactly: multi-core 7458 versus 5124 (45.6%) and single-core 1052 versus 723 (45.5%). The R23 results continue the trend with multi-core 17759 versus 12201 (45.6%) and single-core 2507 versus 1722 (45.6%). These consistent deltas across all three Cinebench versions indicate that the performance gap is fundamental to the architecture, not an artifact of a specific test revision.

The PassMark suite widens the chasm even further in several sub-tests. Integer math shows AMD at 84004 versus Intel's 33991, a staggering 147.1% advantage. Single-thread performance, measured twice in the database as passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread (both 3353 for AMD, 1408 for Intel), shows a 138.1% delta. Data encryption is even more lopsided: 16937 versus 7231, a 134.2% lead for AMD. Extended instructions follow at 97.7% ahead (17029 versus 8615). Floating-point math delivers 46589 versus 26150, a 78.2% gap. Multithread scoring lands at 20870 versus 11685, a 78.6% delta. Data compression shows 252937 versus 133434, a 89.6% advantage. Random string sorting rounds out the AMD wins at 27373 versus 14838, a 84.5% margin.

The Intel part takes its two wins in specific PassMark sub-tests. Find prime numbers shows Intel at 72 versus AMD at 50, a 30.6% lead for Intel. Physics simulation shows Intel at 1278 versus AMD at 841, a 34.2% advantage. These are narrow, specialized victories that point to different instruction-level strengths rather than broad performance superiority.

Looking at the average benchmark scores, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE posts 29656 against Intel Core 5 211TE's 15370. The AMD part sits at the 81st percentile of all CPUs in the database, while the Intel part ranks at the 69th percentile. The nearest rivals for AMD include AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (29713, delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 (29461, delta 0.7%), AMD Ryzen 7 3800X (29447, delta 0.7%), and AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29868, delta -0.7%). The Intel chip's nearest rivals are AMD EPYC 7543 (15477, delta -0.7%), AMD EPYC 7702P (15130, delta 1.6%), AMD Ryzen 3 7440U (15682, delta -2%), and Intel Core i3-1315U (15022, delta 2.3%). These figures place the two processors in completely different performance tiers, with the AMD chip competing alongside modern desktop parts while the Intel chip aligns with mobile and older server silicon.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two processors is wide, starting with the manufacturing process. AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE uses a 7 nm node from TSMC, while Intel Core 5 211TE uses a 10 nm node from Intel's own foundry. This process gap likely contributes to the power and efficiency differences observed in the benchmark data.

Core configuration differs significantly. AMD provides 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. Intel provides 10 cores and 16 threads based on the Bartlett Lake architecture, which belongs to the Core 5 generation. Both chips support 16 threads, but the Intel part spreads them across more physical cores. The AMD chip has 64 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB L3. Intel has 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB shared L3. The larger per-core caches on Intel do not translate into benchmark wins, which suggests the AMD Zen 3 design extracts more performance per cache byte.

Clock speeds tell a different story. AMD runs at 3.20 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost, while Intel runs at a much lower 1.70 GHz base but a higher 4.80 GHz boost. The Intel chip has a higher top clock but a dramatically lower base frequency, which may explain why it loses in sustained workloads like the Cinebench multi-core tests. The thermal design power also differs: AMD is rated at 35 W, Intel at 45 W. The AMD part delivers more performance at a lower TDP, a notable efficiency advantage.

Memory support diverges completely. AMD supports only DDR4 with dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5 with dual-channel bus and 76.8 GB/s bandwidth. Intel also supports ECC memory, while AMD does not. The higher memory bandwidth on Intel does not rescue its benchmark results, indicating that memory throughput is not the limiting factor for these workloads.

PCIe capabilities favor Intel: Gen 5 with 16 lanes versus AMD's Gen 3 with 16 lanes. The integrated graphics differ as well: AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, Intel uses UHD Graphics 730. Neither is a high-end GPU, but they serve basic display output needs. The sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket AM4, Intel uses Socket 1700.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous. AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE dominates the Intel Core 5 211TE in 15 of 17 recorded comparisons, with average score advantages ranging from 45.5% in Cinebench R20 single-core to 147.1% in PassMark integer math. The AMD chip achieves this while consuming less power (35 W TDP versus 45 W) and using an older socket platform. The Intel part's two wins, in find prime numbers and physics simulation, are narrow and specialized, suggesting that Intel's architecture has specific strengths in certain integer or physics-oriented instruction paths but lacks the general-purpose performance of the AMD design.

The percentile rankings reinforce the gap: AMD sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs in the database, while Intel sits at the 69th percentile. The average benchmark scores place the AMD chip in the company of modern desktop processors like the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, while the Intel chip aligns with server and mobile parts like the AMD EPYC 7543 and Intel Core i3-1315U. For workloads that depend on Cinebench rendering scores, data compression, encryption, or general integer and floating-point math, the AMD part is the clear choice.

Where Each One Wins

AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE wins in every Cinebench test, both multi-core and single-core, across R15, R20, and R23. The deltas are consistently in the 45-46% range, indicating a balanced architectural advantage that scales from single-threaded to heavily threaded workloads. The PassMark suite shows AMD wins in data compression (89.6% ahead), data encryption (134.2% ahead), extended instructions (97.7% ahead), floating-point math (78.2% ahead), integer math (147.1% ahead), multithread (78.6% ahead), random string sorting (84.5% ahead), and single-thread performance (138.1% ahead). These are the workloads that dominate general desktop productivity, content creation, and scientific computing.

Intel Core 5 211TE wins in PassMark find prime numbers, scoring 72 versus AMD's 50, a 30.6% lead. It also wins in PassMark physics simulation, scoring 1278 versus AMD's 841, a 34.2% lead. These wins point to specific algorithmic strengths, possibly related to the Intel core layout or cache hierarchy, but they are isolated results. The physics test may favor the higher boost clock of 4.80 GHz, while the prime number test might benefit from the larger L2 cache per core. However, these isolated wins do not indicate a general pattern of Intel superiority, they are anomalies within a dataset that otherwise shows AMD ahead by wide margins. The Intel part also offers ECC memory support and DDR5 compatibility, which are platform-level features that may matter for specific deployment scenarios, but they do not translate into performance advantages in the recorded benchmarks.
