AMD Ryzen 3 3100U vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive sweep: the Intel Core i7-14701TE wins all 11 head-to-head benchmark comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U. The largest gaps appear in compute-heavy workloads. In floating point math, the Intel part scores 50,219 against 5,854 for the AMD chip, a delta of -88.3%. Integer math shows a similar pattern: 65,792 versus 8,873, with the AMD part trailing by -86.5%. The physics test, which often reflects sustained multi-core throughput, favors the Intel processor at 1,860 points versus 232 points, a -87.5% difference.

The smallest margin is in single-threaded performance. The Intel Core i7-14701TE posts 2,637 in both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, while the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U reaches 1,592 in both. That delta is -39.6%, still a clear victory but far narrower than the multi-threaded gaps. The data suggests the AMD chip's single-core capability is relatively closer to the Intel part's, but the Intel processor still holds a substantial lead.

Multi-threaded workloads reinforce the pattern. In passmark_multithread, the Intel part scores 20,042 versus 3,348, a -83.3% delta. Data compression shows 220,520 for Intel against 38,455 for AMD, a -82.6% gap. Random string sorting, a memory-latency-sensitive test, favors Intel at 22,760 versus 4,666, a -79.5% difference. Even in extended instructions, which measures SIMD and specialized instruction throughput, Intel leads 14,354 to 2,116, a -85.3% margin.

Prime number generation is another lopsided result: 143 for Intel versus 18 for AMD, a -87.4% delta. Encryption workloads show 11,699 versus 1,972, a -83.1% gap. No benchmark in the database records a win for the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U. The average benchmark score for the Intel Core i7-14701TE is 26,013, placing it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design eras and market segments. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U is a mobile part built on the Picasso codename, using the Zen+ (Picasso) generation. It is fabricated on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries, with a die size of 210 mm² and 4,940 million transistors. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, part of the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 257 mm². The Intel part's transistor count is not recorded in the database.

Core configuration differs sharply. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has 2 cores and 2 threads, meaning no simultaneous multithreading. The Intel Core i7-14701TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. The base clock for the AMD part is 1.90 GHz with a boost clock of 3.20 GHz. The Intel part starts at 2.10 GHz base and boosts to 5.20 GHz. The thermal design power is 15 W for the AMD mobile chip and 45 W for the Intel desktop chip.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U has 96 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of shared L3. The Intel Core i7-14701TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 allocation on the Intel part is consistent with its higher thread count and desktop positioning.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD processor supports DDR4 only, with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 38.4 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. ECC memory is not supported on the AMD part but is supported on the Intel part. PCIe generation also differs: the AMD chip uses PCIe Gen 3, while the Intel chip uses PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes allocated to the CPU.

Integrated graphics are present on both. The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U uses Radeon Vega 8, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part is classified as a mobile segment product and uses AMD Socket FP5. The Intel part is a desktop product on Intel Socket 1700. Both are listed as active production parts, and both have locked multipliers. The AMD part was released in 2026, while the Intel part was released in 2024.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in every benchmark category recorded in the database. Its largest advantages are in floating point math, integer math, and physics, where deltas exceed -86%. These workloads scale with core count, thread count, and cache size, all of which favor the Intel part. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 33 MB of shared L3 cache provides a strong foundation for parallel compute. The 5.20 GHz boost clock also helps in single-threaded tasks, where the Intel part leads by -39.6% despite having a higher base clock than the AMD chip.

The AMD Ryzen 3 3100U shows no wins in the recorded data. However, its position at the 62nd percentile of all CPUs means it outperforms a significant portion of the database, even if it trails this particular Intel rival. The AMD part's 15 W TDP and mobile socket suggest a low-power segment, while the Intel part's 45 W TDP and desktop socket indicate a performance-oriented desktop role. The AMD chip's nearest rivals include high-end desktop and server parts like the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X and AMD EPYC 7272, with deltas of 0.3% and 1% respectively. This placement indicates the AMD Ryzen 3 3100U delivers a competitive average benchmark score for its low-power mobile class, even though it cannot match the Intel Core i7-14701TE in any direct comparison.

The Intel Core i7-14701TE, at the 78th percentile, sits near modern AMD mobile and desktop parts such as the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS, with deltas of 0.1% and -0.4%. This clustering suggests the Intel part competes with a newer generation of mid-range AMD processors, rather than with entry-level parts. The data indicates that for workloads involving encryption, data compression, or extended instructions, the Intel processor provides between roughly 4.7x and 6.8x the throughput of the AMD chip, based on the score ratios. For single-threaded tasks, the Intel part is about 1.66x faster. The AMD processor remains viable only in scenarios where its lower TDP and mobile form factor are the primary considerations, as its benchmark results consistently trail the Intel part across all recorded tests.
