AMD Ryzen 3 8300G vs Intel Core i9-14901TE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G and Intel Core i9-14901TE occupy different positions in the desktop processor landscape, and the recorded data reflects that split clearly. The Ryzen 3 8300G has a complete set of benchmark measurements across Cinebench and Passmark workloads, with an average benchmark score of 18169 and a percentile ranking of 72 against all CPUs. The Core i9-14901TE, by contrast, has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, an average benchmark score of 0, and a percentile ranking of 50. This means every numerical comparison between the two relies on the Ryzen 3 8300G's measured results and the architectural characteristics of the Intel part.

The Ryzen 3 8300G wins in any workload where a score exists, simply because the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no measured data. The AMD part delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12217 and a single-core score of 1724, while Passmark results include a multi-thread score of 14018 and single-thread score of 3778. The Intel processor, with its 8 cores and 16 threads compared to the AMD's 4 cores and 8 threads, would likely lead in heavily threaded workloads based on core count alone, but the database contains no measurements to confirm this. The data as recorded shows the Ryzen 3 8300G as the only chip with verified performance numbers.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward: for any application where the database has a benchmark result, the Ryzen 3 8300G is the measured performer. The Intel Core i9-14901TE remains an unmeasured entity in this dataset, so its actual wins cannot be quantified. The AMD processor's 72nd percentile ranking places it above the 50th percentile ranking of the Intel chip, though that comparison is skewed by the missing Intel data. The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 3 8300G, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with an average score of 18176 and the Intel Core i7-1365U with 18177, sit within a fraction of a percent of its 18169 average, indicating the AMD part is competitive with those measured alternatives.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark table in the database is empty, so no direct side-by-side measurements exist for these two processors. The only way to assess the Ryzen 3 8300G is through its absolute scores. In Cinebench R23, the AMD chip scores 12217 multi-core and 1724 single-core. In Cinebench R20, it scores 5131 multi-core and 724 single-core. In Cinebench R15, it scores 1231 multi-core and 173 single-core. These results establish a baseline, but without Intel measurements, the only conclusion the data supports is that the AMD part has verified performance and the Intel part does not.

Passmark results for the Ryzen 3 8300G provide additional detail. The multi-thread score is 14018, and the single-thread score is 3778. Integer math scores 40534, floating point math scores 25336, and extended instructions score 12354. Data compression scores 158952, data encryption scores 9115, and random string sorting scores 19013. Physics scores 755, and find prime numbers scores 47. These numbers give a full picture of the AMD processor's measured capabilities, but they cannot be compared to the Intel Core i9-14901TE because that chip has no recorded scores.

The nearest rival data for the Ryzen 3 8300G offers a useful reference frame. The AMD Ryzen 7 5700U averages 18176, the Intel Core i7-1365U averages 18177, the Intel Core i7-9700 averages 18180, and the Intel Core i5-1334U averages 18154. The Ryzen 3 8300G's 18169 average sits squarely among these, within 0.1 percent in either direction. This indicates that despite having only 4 cores, the AMD part matches or slightly trails mid-range and older desktop and mobile chips in aggregate performance. For the Intel Core i9-14901TE, the absence of rivals in the database means no similar context exists.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks differ substantially: the AMD runs at 3.40 GHz and the Intel at 2.30 GHz. Boost clocks reverse the order, with the AMD reaching 4.90 GHz and the Intel reaching 5.50 GHz. Thermal design power also diverges, with the AMD rated at 65 watts and the Intel at 45 watts.

Cache structures are not directly comparable. The AMD chip has 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The Intel part's larger L3 cache aligns with its higher core count. The AMD processor uses a 4 nm process from TSMC with a die size of 137 mm², while the Intel processor uses a 10 nm process from Intel with a die size of 257 mm². The AMD chip has 20,900 million transistors; the Intel chip has no transistor count recorded.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel Core i9-14901TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but has no memory bandwidth figure recorded. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes. Integrated graphics also differ, with the AMD featuring Radeon 740M and the Intel featuring UHD Graphics 770. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G belongs to the 8000 series and uses the Zen 4 architecture under the codename Phoenix2, with a generation label of Ryzen 3 (Zen 4 (Phoenix)). It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 137 mm² and 20,900 million transistors. The Intel Core i9-14901TE belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and uses the Raptor Lake architecture under the codename Raptor Lake-R, with a generation label of Core i9 (Raptor Lake Refresh). It is built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 257 mm² and no transistor count listed.

The socket platforms are different: the AMD chip mounts on AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip mounts on Intel Socket 1700. Both target the desktop market segment and both are marked as active in production. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300G was released on 2024-01-07, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE was released on 2024-06-30. The AMD part has a launch MSRP of $176, while the Intel part has no launch MSRP recorded.

The architectural gulf between a 4-core Zen 4 part and an 8-core Raptor Lake Refresh part is significant. The AMD chip's smaller process node and higher base clock suggest efficiency in single-threaded and lightly threaded tasks, while the Intel chip's higher core count and 36 MB of L3 cache point toward multi-threaded capability. The Intel chip also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, whereas the AMD chip is DDR5-only. The AMD chip's PCIe Gen 4 with 14 lanes versus the Intel chip's PCIe Gen 5 with 16 lanes gives the Intel part a connectivity advantage on paper. The database, however, only contains performance measurements for the AMD chip, so the architectural differences cannot be validated through benchmark results. The recorded data confirms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300G as the measured performer, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE remains a specification-only entry with a 50th percentile ranking and no rival comparisons.
