Good lower power chip that offers a good bang for the buck.

The i3 is 20% faster single-core, while the 5500U is 19% faster multi-core.
I'd call that on par. It all depends on whether you prefer 4 faster cores or 6 slower cores.

Six vs four cores.
This is just 8% slower than the I7 mentioned.

So not sure where you got your Geekbench score.
Passmark has the I3 just 3% faster single core but 33% slower on multicore.
We live in multicore times so single core simply not that important. The I3 1115G4 is even faster single core go with that.

The way I understand Geekbench collects the data, these are averages from 1000's of user-submitted tests.
I don't know how nanoreview tests the CPUs, nor which machines they used to test them (they have to be different, of course).
For what it's worth, I got the scores of 1330 single-core and 4320 multicore on Linux on my 14" HP from Target (that sports the 1125G4) I got over BF for $270. It's a quick little chip, and Linux absolutely flies on it.
Yes, 6 cores beat 4 cores in computationally-intensive tasks. Like video encoding/decoding, photoshop processing etc.
Faster 4 cores beat slower 6 cores in everyday tasks, like opening slickdeals page in Chrome, editing in Word etc.
And no. 4 faster cores is not only better than 6 slower cores "if you only do single core apps". It's better if you do apps that don't require or can't use more than 4 cores, which a lot more than "only single core apps".
So, it all depends on what you are looking for.

This Ryzen is much faster in multicore per those results. Processors are often running background apps which use multicore even if the one that you are running is single core.
I also own that Target 14" 1125 and love it. Very fast. I would not notice the difference. Of course I upgraded the DDR but even with the SATA-3 it is fast. I could not get it to format the NVME I had from a laptop that got broken. The BIOS deactivated that option for some reason.
I was not bashing the 1125 it is great. But this one is much better which was the point. The 6000's and the Gen 12 will be big improvements. If I really needed more performance I would have waited a moth for one of them. That 1125 should last me for a long time.
The Gen 12's will have cores specifically for background apps or apps not using much processing power. Efficiency Cores. Like the I3 will have 2 Power Cores and 4 Efficiency Cores. Will be interesting to see how fast they are. I expect a big improvement. They may be faster on single core and multi core.
However this is 6th gen so no Windows 11 updates or easy upgrading to it and in addition it is slow by todays standards. A Celeron gen 12 would be faster. Think of that 6 gens old.
Edit: Sorry, I see that it is not.

HP Specs also indicate it is upgradable:
Memory, standard
8 GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM (2 x 4 GB)
Similar to the HP I upgraded though it only came with 1 4GB.

Again not exactly on par. At any rate you can do what you want but when single core scores are that low the difference between them isn't as big as when you get into high numbers. Keep in mind geekbench is catered towards apps and smart phone and tablet apps and this is a full windows machine.
That low a single core score is like comparing a 6 hp lawn mower engine to a 7hp lawnmower engine. It's not super noticeable to the average person. Until they need to do something that needs a lot of cores and threads. Those extra cores and threads are gonna come in way more handy for the average person. Software now is being programmed to take advantage of more and more cores and soon 4 cores even "slightly" faster 4 cores in very specific work loads will easily get out classed by a 6 core machine
