AMD Ryzen 3 30 vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete benchmark profile for the AMD Ryzen 3 30, but no recorded measurements for the Intel Core i9-14901TE. As a result, direct head-to-head comparisons cannot be established from measured scores. The Ryzen 3 30 delivers an average benchmark score of 20,137 across all tests, placing it at the 74th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark entries, an average score of zero, and sits at the 50th percentile, which reflects an absence of recorded data rather than a performance estimate.

For the AMD Ryzen 3 30, the strongest recorded result is in data compression, where it scores 135,834. This is followed by integer math at 29,846, single-thread performance at 2,465, floating-point math at 14,448, and random string sorting at 14,431. The weakest scores appear in find prime numbers at 20 and physics at 436, indicating that the chip's computational strengths are concentrated in throughput-oriented workloads rather than latency-sensitive integer loops.

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 3 30 provide context for its average score. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165U posts an average score of 20,249, which is 0.6% higher than the Ryzen 3 30. The AMD EPYC 7713P scores 20,024, putting it 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i7-9700K reaches 20,271, a 0.7% advantage, while the Intel Core i7-11800H scores 19,998, trailing by 0.7%. These deltas are all within a narrow band, indicating that the Ryzen 3 30 performs on par with a range of desktop and mobile processors from previous generations, despite being a low-power mobile part.

The absence of benchmark data for the Core i9-14901TE means the database cannot confirm any wins for either processor. The Ryzen 3 30 has 11 recorded benchmark entries, all from PassMark tests, while the Core i9-14901TE has none. Any performance claims for the Intel part would require extrapolation from its specifications, which the database does not support.

The Verdict

The data indicates a clear split between the two processors based on availability of measurements. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has a complete benchmark profile, an average score of 20,137, and a 74th percentile ranking, placing it in the upper quarter of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, which include both desktop and mobile parts, fall within a 0.7% margin, so the Ryzen 3 30 competes effectively with substantially larger and higher-power processors in average throughput.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no benchmark data, an average score of zero, and a 50th percentile ranking that is a placeholder, not a measured result. From the recorded information, the database cannot assign any performance advantage to the Intel part. The Ryzen 3 30 is the only processor in this pairing with verifiable scores, and it demonstrates strong single-thread performance at 2,465 and robust data compression throughput at 135,834.

For users who require a processor with confirmed performance metrics, the Ryzen 3 30 is the only option supported by the data. The Core i9-14901TE offers a higher core count, larger cache, and faster boost clock in its specifications, but those specifications are not backed by any benchmark results in the database. The verdict from the recorded data is that the Ryzen 3 30 delivers measurable performance, while the Core i9-14901TE remains unverified.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. The base clock for the AMD part is 2.40 GHz, and the Intel part is 2.30 GHz. The boost clock differs significantly: the Ryzen 3 30 reaches 4.10 GHz, while the Core i9-14901TE boosts to 5.50 GHz.

Thermal design power also separates the two. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has a TDP of 15 watts, and the Intel Core i9-14901TE has a TDP of 45 watts. The socket types are different: AMD Socket FT6 for the Ryzen 3 30 and Intel Socket 1700 for the Core i9-14901TE.

Memory support diverges as well. The Ryzen 3 30 uses LPDDR5 memory with a recorded bandwidth of 88.0 GB/s. The Core i9-14901TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, and no bandwidth is recorded. ECC memory support is absent on the AMD part and present on the Intel part.

PCIe capabilities differ: the Ryzen 3 30 uses PCIe Gen 3 with 4 CPU lanes, while the Core i9-14901TE uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. The integrated graphics are Radeon 610M on the AMD side and UHD Graphics 770 on the Intel side. The market segments are Mobile for the AMD part and Desktop for the Intel part.

The release dates are distinct, with the Core i9-14901TE released in 2024 and the Ryzen 3 30 released in 2025. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide is substantial. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 is built on Zen 2 architecture with the Mendocino codename, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename. The process nodes differ: the AMD part uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, and the Intel part uses a 10 nm process from Intel.

Die sizes reflect the process and design choices. The AMD Ryzen 3 30 has a die size of 100 mm², and the Intel Core i9-14901TE has a die size of 257 mm². Neither processor has recorded transistor counts.

Cache hierarchies differ significantly. The Ryzen 3 30 provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Core i9-14901TE provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part has a substantially larger L3 cache, which is consistent with its higher core count and desktop positioning.

The generation labels are also different. The AMD part is listed as Ryzen 3 (Zen 2 Mendocino), and the Intel part is listed as Core i9 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The Intel part belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, while the AMD part has no series designation.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 3 30 wins in every measurable category because it is the only processor with benchmark scores. Its average score of 20,137 and 74th percentile ranking confirm that it delivers competitive throughput against a range of other CPUs in the database. The Ryzen 3 30 shows particular strength in data compression with a score of 135,834, which is far higher than any of its other recorded results, and its single-thread score of 2,465 indicates capable per-core performance for a 15-watt part.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE cannot be assigned any benchmark wins due to missing data. The database records no scores for it, so no performance category can be credited to it. The specification sheet suggests advantages in core count, thread count, boost clock, L3 cache size, and PCIe generation, but none of these are verified by measurements.

For use-case analysis, the Ryzen 3 30 is suitable for workloads that benefit from its recorded throughput, such as data compression and integer math, based on its scores of 135,834 and 29,846. The Core i9-14901TE has no recorded wins to cite, so the database cannot support any workload-specific recommendation for it. The data only supports a clear conclusion for the AMD part, which demonstrates measurable performance across all 11 recorded tests.
