AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE vs Intel Core 7 360 Comparison

The Verdict

The database comparison between the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE and the Intel Core 7 360 presents two fundamentally different processing philosophies. The AMD chip is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor built on TSMC's 7 nm node, while the Intel part is a 6-core, 6-thread mobile processor on Intel's 3 nm node. The data shows the Intel Core 7 360 holds a clear performance advantage in every recorded benchmark, and its 72nd percentile ranking versus all CPUs places it well above the AMD chip's 50th percentile. For workloads that rely on raw throughput, the Intel part is the stronger choice. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE, with its 35 W TDP and desktop socket, remains relevant for systems requiring AM4 compatibility and multithreading capability, but the benchmark evidence does not favor it in any measured task.

The Intel Core 7 360's average benchmark score of 18374 places it in a tight cluster with its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i3-13100 at 18380, the Intel Core 5 330 at 18345, the Intel Core i3-14100 at 18318, and the Intel Core 3 305 at 18302. Delta percentages against these rivals are minimal, ranging from 0% to 0.4%, indicating the Core 7 360 performs essentially on par with those established desktop parts. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE carries no recorded benchmark scores in the database, meaning its performance cannot be quantified directly; its only ranking metric is the 50th percentile position, which indicates it sits at the median of all CPUs. That percentile, combined with zero wins in head-to-head testing, makes the verdict straightforward: the Intel processor is the higher-performing unit across every metric recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 360 wins in all 17 recorded benchmark tests, covering both synthetic and application-style workloads. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1374 in multicore and 193 in single-core. In Cinebench R20, it reaches 5726 multicore and 808 single-core. The R23 run produces 13634 multicore and 1924 single-core. PassMark tests show the Intel part delivering 142877 in data compression, 11164 in data encryption, 12390 in extended instructions, 120 in prime number finding, 44963 in floating point math, 34238 in integer math, 15544 in multithread, 1213 in physics, 17636 in random string sorting, and 4274 in both single-thread and singlethread tests. The AMD chip has no recorded wins and no benchmark scores in the database, so the use-case split is entirely one-sided: any task that depends on the measured metrics favors the Intel Core 7 360.

The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE does offer 12 threads versus the Intel's 6, which suggests potential advantages in heavily threaded workloads that scale beyond 6 threads. However, the recorded data provides no evidence of such an advantage; without benchmark scores, the multithreading capability remains theoretical. The AMD chip also supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, whereas the Intel part uses single-channel DDR5 or LPDDR5X with 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part's higher memory bandwidth, despite the single-channel configuration, is the only memory-related number available, and it favors Intel. For desktop builders on AM4, the AMD chip offers socket compatibility and an unlocked multiplier, but the performance data in the database does not support any workload-specific win.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in architecture. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE belongs to the 5000 series and uses Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, fabricated by TSMC on a 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. The Intel Core 7 360 uses the Wildcat Lake codename with a 3 nm process fabricated by Intel itself; the database records no transistor count or die size for the Intel part. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Intel part has 6 cores and 6 threads, meaning the AMD part relies on simultaneous multithreading to double its thread count, whereas the Intel part runs one thread per core.

Cache layouts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 6 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip's larger per-core L1 and L2 caches are notable, but its total L3 is smaller than the AMD chip's 16 MB. The AMD processor supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the Intel part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X on a single-channel bus with 59.7 GB/s bandwidth. Neither supports ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip provides Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part provides Gen 4 with 6 lanes. The Intel part is a mobile processor on Intel BGA 1516, whereas the AMD chip is a desktop processor on AMD Socket AM4. The AMD chip has an unlocked multiplier, the Intel part is locked. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD chip uses Radeon Vega 7, while the Intel part uses Intel Xe3 Graphics with 2 Xe cores.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records no head-to-head benchmark results between the two processors, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has zero benchmark scores in its entry. The Intel Core 7 360, however, has a complete set of 17 benchmark scores, and these provide the only quantitative performance data in the comparison. The Intel part's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13634 and single-core score of 1924 indicate strong performance in both threaded and single-threaded rendering tasks. Its PassMark multithread score of 15544 and single-thread score of 4274 further confirm balanced capability across workload types.

The Intel Core 7 360's nearest rivals in the database are all Intel desktop parts: the Core i3-13100 with an average score of 18380 and a delta of 0%, the Core 5 330 at 18345 with a delta of 0.2%, the Core i3-14100 at 18318 with a delta of 0.3%, and the Core 3 305 at 18302 with a delta of 0.4%. These deltas are tiny, meaning the Core 7 360 performs within a fraction of a percent of these established desktop CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 5 5605GE has no nearest rivals listed and no scores to compare, so the head-to-head section relies entirely on the Intel part's recorded output. The biggest wins for the Intel part are inherent to its score set: it delivers strong multicore, single-core, and data-centric results across the board. The AMD chip's absence of data means no specific win can be attributed to it.
