AMD Ryzen 3 8300G vs Intel Core i5-14501E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a full benchmark suite for the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark scores in the current dataset. This asymmetry means a direct score-by-score comparison is not possible from the recorded measurements. However, the AMD part's individual results can still be interpreted against the broader CPU population and its recorded nearest rivals.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12217 and a single-core score of 1724. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 5131, with single-core at 724. The older Cinebench R15 workload shows 1231 multi-core and 173 single-core. These results indicate a processor that scales reasonably from single-threaded to multi-threaded workloads, with the multi-core scores roughly seven times the single-core figures across the Cinebench versions, which is consistent with an 8-thread part.

PassMark results for the AMD chip show a single-thread score of 3778 and a multi-thread score of 14018. The integer math test returns 40534, floating point math 25336, data compression 158952, data encryption 9115, extended instructions 12354, find prime numbers 47, random string sorting 19013, and physics 755. The average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 18169.

The AMD processor sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest recorded rivals show how tightly grouped this tier of performance is: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U averages 18176, a delta of 0 percent; the Intel Core i7-1365U averages 18177, also 0 percent; the Intel Core i7-9700 averages 18180, delta -0.1 percent; and the Intel Core i5-1334U averages 18154, delta 0.1 percent. The 8300G's average score of 18169 places it within a fraction of a percent of all four rivals. The spread among these five processors is only 26 points, from 18154 to 18180, which means the 8300G is effectively tied with the Ryzen 7 5700U and Core i7-1365U, marginally behind the Core i7-9700, and marginally ahead of the Core i5-1334U.

The Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmark entries. Its percentile rank of 50 sits well below the AMD part's 72, but without measured scores, the percentile alone cannot be treated as a performance verdict. The absence of benchmark data for the Intel chip is the single most important finding in the head-to-head comparison: the database currently cannot confirm how the two processors compare in any specific workload.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G wins in every category where recorded data exists, simply because the Intel Core i5-14501E has no benchmark scores in the database. The AMD part can be characterized across the full suite of Cinebench and PassMark workloads, and its average score of 18169 places it at the 72nd percentile. For single-threaded work, the 8300G's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1724 and PassMark single-thread score of 3778 establish a performance baseline that can be compared against any future Intel measurements.

The Intel Core i5-14501E, despite having no scores, presents a different specification profile that suggests where it might excel once measured. It carries 6 cores and 12 threads, which is 50 percent more cores and 50 percent more threads than the AMD part. It also has a higher boost clock at 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part supports only DDR5. The PCIe interface is newer on the Intel side, Gen 5 with 16 lanes, compared to Gen 4 with 14 lanes on the AMD side.

For workloads that depend on core count and thread count, such as heavily parallel rendering or encoding tasks, the Intel part's 12 threads give it a structural advantage in the specifications, though no measured data confirms how that translates into scores. For workloads that depend on the tested performance of the AMD part, such as the PassMark data compression test at 158952 or floating point math at 25336, the 8300G has verified results and the Intel part does not.

The single-thread comparison is the most uncertain area. The AMD chip's boost clock is 0.30 GHz lower than the Intel chip's, but the AMD architecture may compensate in instructions per clock. Without Intel scores, the database cannot determine which part wins single-thread performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every major specification field. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i5-14501E has 6 cores and 12 threads. Base clocks are close, 3.40 GHz for AMD versus 3.30 GHz for Intel, but boost clocks differ by 0.30 GHz in favor of Intel at 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. Both have a TDP of 65.

The sockets are incompatible: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD processor is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, while the Intel processor uses a 10 nm process at Intel. Die size differs substantially, 137 mm² for AMD versus 215 mm² for Intel. The AMD part has 20,900 million transistors; no transistor count is recorded for Intel.

Cache hierarchies diverge. AMD has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3. The Intel L3 cache is three times larger at 24 MB versus 8 MB.

Memory support differs. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe generations and lane counts differ. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD part uses Radeon 740M, the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 770.

Release dates differ by roughly six months, with AMD released on 2024-01-07 and Intel on 2024-06-30. The AMD part has a recorded launch MSRP of $176; no launch MSRP is recorded for Intel. Both have locked multipliers, and both are desktop parts currently in active production.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G belongs to the 8000 series, uses the Zen 4 architecture, and carries the codename Phoenix2. Its generation is listed as Ryzen 3 (Zen 4 (Phoenix)). The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC, with a die size of 137 mm² and 20,900 million transistors.

The Intel Core i5-14501E belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture, and carries the codename Raptor Lake-R. Its generation is listed as Core i5 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The process node is 10 nm, fabricated by Intel, with a die size of 215 mm². No transistor count is recorded for the Intel part.

The cache architectures reflect different design philosophies. AMD uses a per-core L1 of 64 KB and per-core L2 of 1 MB, with a shared 8 MB L3. Intel uses a larger per-core L1 of 80 KB and per-core L2 of 1.25 MB, with a shared 24 MB L3. The threefold difference in L3 capacity suggests the Intel design allocates substantially more die area to the last-level cache.

The memory controllers differ in flexibility. The AMD part supports only DDR5, which aligns with its newer AM5 platform. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, which gives platform builders the option of using older, more widely available DDR4 memory, though the database records no bandwidth figure for the Intel implementation.

PCIe capability favors Intel with Gen 5 and 16 lanes versus AMD's Gen 4 and 14 lanes. Integrated graphics differ as well, with AMD using the Radeon 740M and Intel using UHD Graphics 770.

Both processors are manufactured on processes from different foundries, AMD on TSMC 4 nm and Intel on its own 10 nm process. The die size difference, 137 mm² versus 215 mm², reflects both the process difference and the larger cache and core count on the Intel side. The AMD part achieves a smaller die with fewer transistors despite the denser process, while the Intel part uses a larger die with a less dense process.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear but incomplete picture. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G has full benchmark coverage, an average score of 18169, and a 72nd percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals, all within 0.1 percent of its average score, confirm that it sits in a well-populated performance tier. The Intel Core i5-14501E has no recorded benchmarks, so any performance claim about it cannot be verified from the database.

For users who require verified performance data, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G is the only part in this comparison with measured results. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12217 and single-core score of 1724 provide concrete reference points. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 14018 and single-thread score of 3778 add further confirmation of its capabilities.

For users who prioritize specifications over measured results, the Intel Core i5-14501E offers a higher core count, 6 cores and 12 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, a higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, a larger L3 cache of 24 MB versus 8 MB, dual memory support for DDR4 and DDR5, and PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes. These are structural advantages that could translate to better multi-threaded performance, but the database does not currently have the scores to confirm it.

The percentile ranks are the only direct performance-level comparison available: 72 for AMD versus 50 for Intel. That gap suggests the AMD part sits higher in the overall distribution, but the Intel percentile is recorded against a dataset where the Intel part has no individual benchmark scores, so the comparison is not apples-to-apples.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G is the choice when verified benchmark results matter. The Intel Core i5-14501E is the choice when the specification sheet is the deciding factor, particularly for core count, cache size, memory flexibility, and PCIe generation. The database will need Intel benchmark entries before a definitive performance verdict can be issued.
