AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is a 4-core, 8-thread desktop processor built on the Zen 3 (Cezanne) architecture for AMD Socket AM4. It has a 3.60 GHz base clock, a 4.20 GHz boost clock, a 35 W TDP, and integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics. Its average benchmark score of 17482 places it at the 75th percentile among all CPUs in the database.

How It Compares

Against the Intel Core i5-12450H, the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE lands in a dead heat. The rival has an average score of 17475, and the deltaPct is 0 relative to the 5355GE's 17482. Benchmark results indicate these two processors deliver essentially identical aggregate performance.

Against the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, the situation is the same. The 4600G averages 17489, with deltaPct 0. The combined benchmark data separates the two processors by only a handful of points, so the practical average-score difference is negligible.

Against the Intel Core i3-14100T, the 5355GE is 0.9 percent behind. The i3-14100T posts an average score of 17636, and the deltaPct is -0.9. This is a small but consistent gap in the aggregate data.

Against the Intel Core i3-13100F, the 5355GE is 1 percent behind. The rival's average score is 17665, with deltaPct -1. As with the i3-14100T, the performance distance is minimal and unlikely to define real-world application feel.

Who Should Consider It

The 5355GE suits systems where a 35 W TDP and integrated graphics are priorities. The single-thread Passmark score of 3089 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1531 indicate strong responsiveness for office and productivity work. Everyday tasks such as compression also benefit from the Passmark data compression score of 152885.

For creation workloads, the multithread results matter more. Cinebench R23 multicore is 10846, Cinebench R20 multicore is 4555, and Passmark multithread is 12761. These scores allow occasional rendering, media encoding, or batch processing, but the 4-core/8-thread layout means sustained heavy multithreaded work will not match higher-core processors.

For gaming, the single-thread scores are solid for CPU-bound scenarios, while the integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics provide display output without requiring a discrete GPU. This makes the chip a reasonable foundation for a simple desktop that may later add a graphics card. ECC memory support also makes it relevant for systems needing data integrity.

Benchmark Performance

The aggregate data places the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at an average benchmark score of 17482, which sits at the 75th percentile. The nearest rivals are extremely close: the Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17475, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G scores 17489, the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17636, and the Intel Core i3-13100F scores 17665. The delta values are 0, 0, -0.9, and -1, respectively. In other words, the 5355GE is separated from all four nearest rivals by no more than 1 percent in aggregate performance.

In Cinebench, the R23 multicore score of 10846 and single-core score of 1531 show a balanced profile. The R20 results follow the same pattern: multicore 4555 and single-core 643. The R15 results are multicore 1093 and single-core 154. These older and newer Cinebench versions agree on the processor's position: capable single-thread throughput and multi-thread scaling appropriate for a 4-core/8-thread part.

Passmark results add a more detailed workload view. Passmark multithread is 12761 and Passmark single-thread is 3089. Integer math scores 44665, while floating-point math scores 24115, indicating integer-heavy workloads gain more from this chip. Data compression scores 152885 and random string sorting scores 17255, suggesting strong throughput in data-oriented tasks. Data encryption scores 9564, extended instructions score 10368, physics scores 552, and find prime numbers scores 31.

Power and Thermals

The 35 W TDP places this processor in the low-power desktop class. Cooling requirements are modest, and a capable air cooler is sufficient. The 7 nm process node helps keep thermal output moderate within that TDP envelope. For compact desktop or office systems, the low TDP is a defining advantage. The integrated Radeon Vega 6 graphics also means a separate graphics card is not required for basic display output, which simplifies both cooling and system layout.

Single-Thread vs Multi-Thread Behavior

The benchmark split is clear. Cinebench R23 gives 1531 single-core and 10846 multi-core. Cinebench R20 gives 643 single-core and 4555 multi-core. Cinebench R15 gives 154 single-core and 1093 multi-core. Passmark single-thread is 3089 and Passmark multithread is 12761. These pairs show that the processor scales across its 4 cores and 8 threads, with multithreaded scores far exceeding single-threaded scores.

For workloads that depend on one or two threads, such as many office applications, the single-core results of 1531 and 3089 are the relevant figures. For rendering, compiling, or exporting, the multithread results of 10846 and 12761 show what the chip can do when all threads are engaged. The data describes a balanced 4-core/8-thread desktop processor rather than a high-core-count workstation chip.

Platform and Compatibility

The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE is designed for AMD Socket AM4 and uses the Zen 3 Cezanne architecture. Memory support is DDR4 only, through a dual-channel interface with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and ECC memory is supported. PCIe support is Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU only. The integrated Radeon Vega 6 GPU allows a system to run without a discrete graphics card. The locked multiplier means overclocking through multiplier adjustment is not available. The production status is Active, and the release date is September 4, 2024. For an AM4 platform, these specifications define the compatibility boundary: DDR4 memory, PCIe Gen 3, and an integrated graphics option.
