AMD Ryzen 3 4300G vs AMD Ryzen 3 5300GE: Comparison
Ryzen 3 4300G vs Ryzen 3 5300GE: the l3 cache difference
Start with l3 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: Ryzen 3 4300G 4 MB against Ryzen 3 5300GE 8 MB, 50% in favour of Ryzen 3 5300GE. There is a split on p-core boost clock as well, 4.0 GHz on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus 4.2 GHz on the Ryzen 3 5300GE. They differ on p-core base clock too, 3.8 GHz on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus 3.6 GHz on the Ryzen 3 5300GE. Tdp is not the same on both, 65 W on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus 35 W on the Ryzen 3 5300GE. There is a split on release year as well, 2020 on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus 2021 on the Ryzen 3 5300GE. They differ on microarchitecture too, Zen 2 on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus Zen 3 on the Ryzen 3 5300GE. Base power is not the same on both, 65 W on the Ryzen 3 4300G versus 35 W on the Ryzen 3 5300GE.
Ryzen 3 4300G vs Ryzen 3 5300GE: which one fits your build
The Ryzen 3 4300G is the one to take for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is the wrong buy for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads. Buy the Ryzen 3 5300GE for mainstream desktop builds and everyday productivity, though it is not the pick for extreme overclocking (unless K/X-series) and workstation-class multi-threaded workloads.
What Ryzen 3 4300G and Ryzen 3 5300GE have in common
