AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core i7-14701TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents an overwhelmingly one-sided contest in raw performance. The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins 15 of the 17 recorded comparisons, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE claims only 2 wins, both in the same PassMark single-thread test. The margin is substantial across nearly every workload category, though the shape of the results reveals a clear pattern: the Intel part dominates multi-threaded and compute-heavy tasks, while the AMD chip posts a notable single-thread victory under PassMark's methodology.

Starting with the Cinebench suite, the Intel Core i7-14701TE holds a consistent advantage of roughly 31.3% in both multi-core and single-core runs. In Cinebench R23, the Intel processor scores 17035 versus 11705 for the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, a gap of 31.3%. The same delta appears in Cinebench R15 and R20 multi-core tests, where the Intel part scores 1716 and 7154 against 1179 and 4916 respectively. Even in the single-core variants of Cinebench, where clock speed and per-core efficiency matter most, the Intel chip leads by 31.4% in R15 and R20, and 31.3% in R23. This uniformity suggests a structural advantage rather than workload-specific behavior.

The PassMark results tell a more varied story. The largest single deficit for the AMD processor appears in the prime number test, where the Intel Core i7-14701TE scores 143 versus just 44, a delta of 69.2%. Floating point math shows a 50.9% gap, with the Intel part scoring 50219 against 24681. Physics simulation follows closely at 59.7% behind, with scores of 1860 and 750. Integer math shows a 40.5% gap, and the multi-thread PassMark score reflects a 32.6% difference, 20042 versus 13507.

Smaller but still decisive margins appear in data compression, where the Intel part scores 220520 versus 155164, a 29.6% gap, and data encryption, where it leads 11699 to 8603, a 26.5% difference. Extended instructions favor Intel by 16.9%, 14354 to 11923, and random string sorting favors Intel by 20.9%, 22760 to 18010.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE's only wins come in the PassMark single-thread measurement, where it scores 3644 against 2637 for the Intel part. That is a 38.2% advantage in favor of AMD, and it appears twice in the dataset under the single_thread and singlethread test names, representing the same result. This is a meaningful data point, but it stands alone against a broad set of Intel victories.

The average benchmark score reinforces the overall picture. The Intel Core i7-14701TE posts an average of 26013 across its benchmark set, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE averages 17614. The Intel part sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the AMD part sits at the 71st percentile. The nearest rivals for the Intel chip include the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 0.1% higher and the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS at 0.4% lower, placing the 14701TE in a competitive position within its immediate peer group. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE's closest rivals are the Intel Core i3-14100T at 0.2% higher and the Intel Core i3-13100F at 0.2% higher, showing that the 8300GE trades blows with low-power Intel parts rather than the higher-tier 14701TE.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a clear choice for applications that depend on sustained multi-threaded throughput. The Intel Core i7-14701TE leads by roughly one third in every Cinebench multi-core test and by similar margins in PassMark multi-thread and physics workloads. Its 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 33 MB shared L3 cache, deliver results that the 4-core, 8-thread AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE cannot match in most recorded workloads.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE is the better option only where PassMark's single-thread metric is the primary concern. Its 38.2% lead in that specific test is real and substantial. However, the Intel part counters with a 31.4% lead in Cinebench single-core, meaning the AMD advantage does not generalize across all single-threaded benchmarks. The data shows the Intel processor is the stronger overall part for mixed workloads, content creation, and compute-heavy tasks. The AMD part remains competitive only in a narrow single-thread scenario.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ in nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE has 8 cores and 16 threads. Base clocks are 3.50 GHz for AMD and 2.10 GHz for Intel, but boost clocks favor Intel at 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. Thermal design power differs as well, with the AMD part rated at 35 W and the Intel part at 45 W.

The AMD chip uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel chip uses Intel Socket 1700. Memory support also diverges: the AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The AMD processor has a rated memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while no memory bandwidth figure is recorded for the Intel part. Both support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity differs, with the AMD part offering Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU, and the Intel part offering Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE carries Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE carries UHD Graphics 770. Both are desktop parts, both are active in production, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part was released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel part on 2024-06-30. Neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses Zen 4 architecture on the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It integrates 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake architecture under the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel, with a 257 mm² die size and no transistor count recorded.

Cache configurations differ sharply. The AMD part provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel part provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. That L3 difference, 33 MB versus 8 MB, is a major factor in the Intel part's multi-threaded and data-heavy performance. The Intel part also has twice the core count and twice the thread count, which directly explains its dominance in parallel workloads.

The process node difference is notable: 4 nm for AMD versus 10 nm for Intel. Despite the smaller node, the AMD part draws less power at 35 W TDP but delivers far lower multi-core scores. The larger Intel die, with more cores and a much larger L3 cache, compensates for the older node with raw throughput. The AMD part's smaller die and lower transistor count align with its lower core count and more modest cache.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in every measured multi-threaded workload. The Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 multi-core tests all show a 31.3% lead. The PassMark multi-thread test shows a 32.6% lead. Physics simulation shows a 59.7% lead, and floating point math shows a 50.9% lead. Data compression, data encryption, integer math, extended instructions, and random string sorting all favor Intel by margins ranging from 16.9% to 40.5%. The prime number test is the largest Intel win at 69.2%.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE wins only the PassMark single-thread test, with a 38.2% lead. That single result is its only recorded victory, and it does not carry over to Cinebench single-core, where Intel leads by 31.4%. For workloads that rely on PassMark's specific single-thread measurement, the AMD part has a clear edge. For everything else in the recorded data, the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the faster processor. The use case split is therefore simple: the Intel part for multi-threaded productivity, content creation, and compute-heavy tasks, and the AMD part for the narrow scenario where PassMark single-thread performance is the deciding factor.
