AMD vs. Intel: Comparing The Most Popular CPU Models Using Benchmark Scores With Diagrams

In 2019 Intel gets serious competition from AMD. Ryzen Gen 3 processors are becoming popular due to their low prices, graphics cards, and stock coolers. However, most of the Intel’s processors have higher turbo clocking than AMD CPUs. Benchmark scores are taken from CPU Benchmark. Let’s start comparing Athlon 220GE and Pentium Gold G5400.

AMD Athlon 220GE vs. Intel Pentium Gold G5400

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Athlon 220GE	2	4	3,4 GHz	–	75	5252
Pentium Gold G5400	2	4	3,7 GHz	–	64	5200

Both CPUs have the same cores and threads. Base clocking is higher on Pentium Gold G5400. By 52 scores Athlon 220GE wins while having $75 price and Radeon Vega 3 Graphics.

AMD Athlon 240GE vs. Intel Pentium Gold G5500

Four threads and 2 cores of both 240GE and Gold G5500 could not provide the same results. Victory goes to Athlon 240GE which scores 5411 points.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Athlon 240GE	2	4	3,5 GHz	–	90	5411
Pentium Gold G5500	2	4	3,8 GHz	–	75	5195

Pentium Gold G5500’s price is $75 with 3.8 GHz which is higher and cheaper. But Athlon 240GE has a Radeon Vega 3 graphics card.

AMD Ryzen 3 3200G vs. Intel Pentium Gold G5600

Pentium G5600 is known for its 2 cored power in the budget area. Comparing the CPU with 4 cored Ryzen 3 3200G with graphics we see a loss by almost 2300 points. Pentium G5600’s price is lower than its opponent but adding a graphics card will cost around hundreds of USD

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 3 3200G	4	4	3,6 GHz	4,0	112	8002
Pentium G5600	2	4	4 GHz	4	86	5660

There are might be a not fair comparison. If you don’t agree, leave comments below

AMD Ryzen 5 3400G vs. Intel Core i3-9100

Similar base and turbo clocks made us compare Ryzen 5 3400G and core i3-9100. The price of Ryzen 5 3400G is higher because of the graphics card.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 5 3400G	4	8	3,7 GHz	4,2	177	9961
i3-9100	4	4	3,6 GHz	4,2	160	9043

The high score goes to Ryzen 5 3400G, due to most probably, it has 8 threads and higher base clock frequency. After buying core i3-9100, remember getting a new graphics card and cooler as well. The cost will get seriously high.

Ryzen 5 3600 vs. Intel Core i5-9400

Here, the same result comes to comparison of the two mid-range processors below. For $204, CPU with 12 threads plus stock cooler package will arrive upon order.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 5 3600	6	12	3,6	4,2	204	20132
i5-9400	6	6	2,9	4,1	190	11882

The cooler included package from Ryzen 5 3600 attracts many customers who see money savings’ advantage.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X vs. Intel Core i5-9600K

X and K mean they are more advanced than simple models. Yes, indeed, their power is obvious.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 5 3600X	6	12	3,8	4,4	248	20680
i5-9600K	6	6	3,7	4,6	285	13526

With 12 threads and 3.8 GHz base clocking Ryzen 5 3600X shows superiority. For $248 you can get it with a stock cooler.

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X vs. Intel Core i7-9700K

With turbo clocking core i7-9700K could not win the high score. Maybe 12 threads of AMD helped score the high marks.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 7 3700X	8	16	3,6	4,4	430	23998
i7-9700K	8	8	3,6	4,9	375	17198

The price of the winner is $55 higher than i7-9700K for the stock cooler and 16 threads. Almost 5000 points were earned by Ryzen 7 3700X to win.

AMD Ryzen 7 3800X vs. Intel Core i9-9900KF

Core i9-9900KF, having 5.0 GHz turbo clocking frequency, could just get 20715 points. The opponent with a stock cooler has a bit higher price but lower turbo clock.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
Ryzen 7 3800X	8	16	3,9	4,5	550	25243
i9-9900KF	8	16	3,6	5	420	20715

In this duel, AMD  gets a high score.

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X vs. Intel Core i9-9900K

The almost same price they have but Ryzen 9 3900X has more threads and cores but lower turbo clocking frequency. Victory belongs to the one which has 31908 points.

Name	Cores	Threads	Base Clock	Turbo Clock	Price ($)	CPU Benchmark Score
