Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME uses the Panther Lake codename, built on a 3 nm process at Intel’s own foundry. The manufacturing process difference is notable, with Intel using a smaller node.

The core configurations diverge significantly. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel part has 14 cores and 14 threads, suggesting a hybrid layout without hyperthreading across all cores. The cache hierarchy also differs: the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache.

Memory support shows another architectural split. AMD uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. Intel uses LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and 136.5 GB/s bandwidth. The higher bandwidth on the Intel part likely contributes to its performance in memory-sensitive workloads. The PCIe implementation differs as well: AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE includes a Radeon 740M, while the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME includes an Arc B390. The transistor count and die size for the Intel part are not recorded in the database, whereas the AMD part lists 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die.

The release dates are far apart. The AMD processor was released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel processor on 2026-05-27. Both are listed as Active in production status. Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded, and both have locked multipliers.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head results are one-sided, with the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME winning all 17 recorded tests. The margins vary substantially by workload.

In Cinebench R15, the Intel part scores 2192 multi-core against AMD’s 1179, a 46.2% lead. Single-core shows 267 versus 166, a 37.8% margin. Cinebench R20 widens the gap: 10945 versus 4916 multi-core and 1545 versus 693 single-core, both showing a 55.1% difference.

Cinebench R23 shows a narrower multi-core gap. The Intel scores 14655 against AMD’s 11705, a 20.1% lead. Single-core in R23 gives Intel 1862 versus 1652, an 11.3% advantage. The R23 result is the closest multi-core margin in the entire benchmark set.

PassMark tests reveal the largest deltas. The find prime numbers test shows Intel at 248 versus AMD at 44, an 82.3% difference. Floating point math gives Intel 86929 versus 24681, a 71.6% margin. Physics shows 2515 versus 750, a 70.2% lead. Data encryption has Intel at 23881 versus 8603, a 64% gap.

Other PassMark tests show consistent Intel advantages. Data compression: 307094 versus 155164, a 49.5% lead. Extended instructions: 24017 versus 11923, a 50.4% margin. Integer math: 71164 versus 39163, a 45% difference. Random string sorting: 37331 versus 18010, a 51.8% gap. Multithread: 30659 versus 13507, a 55.9% lead.

The single-thread PassMark tests show Intel at 4293 versus AMD’s 3644, a 15.1% margin. This is the second-smallest delta in the dataset after the R23 single-core test.

The database records zero wins for the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE and 17 wins for the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME. The average benchmark score difference is substantial: 36699 versus 17614, meaning the Intel part averages roughly double the AMD part’s score.

The base clock favors AMD at 3.50 GHz versus 1.90 GHz, but boost clocks are close at 4.90 GHz versus 4.70 GHz. The TDP is lower on the Intel part at 25 W versus 35 W, despite the Intel chip having more cores. The transistor count and die size for Intel are not recorded.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in every recorded test. The average benchmark score of 36699 versus 17614 places the Intel part in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 71st percentile. The nearest rivals for each part confirm their respective tiers. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME’s closest competitor is the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with an average score of 36938, a 0.6% difference. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE’s nearest rival is the Intel Core i3-14100T at 17648, a 0.2% difference.

The core count difference of 14 versus 4 drives much of the multi-core advantage. The Intel part also shows a single-core lead, with a 15.1% margin in PassMark single-thread and an 11.3% margin in Cinebench R23 single-core. The memory bandwidth advantage of 136.5 GB/s versus 83.2 GB/s likely contributes to the wide margins in data-intensive PassMark tests.

The AMD part is a desktop processor with a 35 W TDP and ECC memory support, positioning it for systems requiring reliability features. The Intel part is a mobile processor with a 25 W TDP and no ECC support, but with higher raw performance across the board.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME wins in all performance categories recorded. Its largest margins appear in prime number finding (82.3% lead), floating point math (71.6% lead), and physics (70.2% lead). These results indicate strong computational throughput in math-heavy workloads. The data compression test shows a 49.5% lead, and encryption shows a 64% lead. The multithread score of 30659 versus 13507 gives Intel a 55.9% advantage, reflecting the benefit of 14 cores versus 4.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE wins in no recorded benchmarks. Its closest margins come in Cinebench R23 single-core, where Intel leads by only 11.3%, and PassMark single-thread, where Intel leads by 15.1%. The AMD part does offer ECC memory support, which the Intel part lacks, and it uses a desktop socket (AM5) rather than a mobile BGA socket. The AMD part also has a higher base clock at 3.50 GHz versus 1.90 GHz, though boost clocks are similar.

For use cases, the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME dominates compute-heavy tasks such as encryption, floating point math, and physics simulations. Its 14-core configuration and higher memory bandwidth make it suited for multi-threaded workloads. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, with ECC memory and desktop socket, fits systems where error-correcting memory is a requirement, but the performance data shows it trails the Intel part in every measured workload. The database records no scenario where the AMD part takes the lead.
