AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE vs Intel Core i9-14901E Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i9-14901E dominates the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE across every recorded benchmark. The data shows a clean sweep: the Intel part wins all 17 head-to-head tests, with the AMD processor recording zero wins. The most decisive gaps appear in multi-threaded and complex workloads, while the narrowest margins show up in single-threaded PassMark results.

The largest single delta is in PassMark find prime numbers, where the Intel chip scores 189 versus the AMD's 44, a 76.7% advantage. PassMark physics follows closely, with the Intel part at 3041 against 750, a 75.3% lead. Floating point math also heavily favors Intel: 81089 versus 24681, a 69.6% gap. Integer math shows a 65.3% difference, with Intel at 112736 and AMD at 39163.

Cinebench results are consistently lopsided. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel part scores 25753 against the AMD's 11705, a 54.5% difference. Single-core R23 shows the same pattern: 3635 versus 1652, a 54.6% gap. The R20 and R15 suites mirror this, with Intel leading by 54.5% to 54.6% in both single-core and multi-core runs. The Cinebench results indicate that the Intel processor is roughly twice as fast in every rendering test recorded.

PassMark multithread shows Intel at 30298 versus AMD at 13507, a 55.4% lead. Data compression favors Intel at 288777 against 155164, a 46.3% gap. Data encryption shows a 53.7% difference, with Intel at 18571 and AMD at 8603. Extended instructions is the second smallest margin: Intel at 17249 versus AMD at 11923, a 30.9% lead. Random string sorting shows Intel at 39138 against AMD's 18010, a 54% difference.

The smallest overall delta is PassMark single-thread, where Intel scores 4354 and AMD scores 3644, a 16.3% lead. This is the only test where the AMD part comes within a single-digit percentage gap of its rival, though it still loses. The average benchmark score for the Intel chip is 37911, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD chip averages 17614, sitting in the 71st percentile.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core i9-14901E uses Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its die size is 257 mm², and the database does not record a transistor count for this part.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD chip has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel chip has 8 cores and 16 threads. This doubling of cores and threads explains much of the multi-threaded performance gap seen in the benchmarks. Clock speeds also favor Intel: the AMD part has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, while the Intel part has a base clock of 2.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The higher boost ceiling gives the Intel chip an edge in bursty single-threaded workloads.

Cache hierarchies are built differently. The AMD processor uses 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 cache on the Intel part is a significant advantage for workloads that repeatedly access a working set larger than 8 MB.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD chip supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel chip supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, though the database does not record a bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities differ: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 16 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics also differ. The AMD chip uses Radeon 740M, while the Intel chip uses UHD Graphics 770. Neither part is unlocked for overclocking, and both are desktop parts in active production. The AMD chip was released on 2024-04-15, and the Intel chip on 2024-06-30. The AMD part number is 100-000001496, and the Intel part number is Q49ESRNJH.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14901E wins every benchmark category in the recorded data, so the use-case split is defined by the size of the margin rather than by which part takes a given test. The largest Intel advantages appear in workloads that are heavily parallel or that stress integer and floating-point throughput. Find prime numbers, physics, floating point math, and integer math all show Intel leads above 65%. These results point to compute-heavy scientific, simulation, and number-crunching tasks as the clear domain of the Intel chip.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE comes closest in single-threaded PassMark performance, where the Intel lead shrinks to 16.3%. This suggests that in lightly threaded everyday tasks, the two parts are more comparable, though the Intel chip still holds the advantage. The extended instructions test shows the second smallest gap at 30.9%, indicating that SIMD-style workloads narrow the distance somewhat, but still favor Intel clearly.

For rendering and content creation, the Cinebench results are decisive. The Intel chip leads by roughly 54.5% across all three Cinebench versions in both single and multi-core runs. This consistent margin means the Intel part is the stronger choice for CPU-based rendering, regardless of the specific Cinebench version used. The AMD chip's 4-core, 8-thread configuration limits its multi-core scaling, while the Intel chip's 8-core, 16-thread design provides roughly double the throughput.

Data compression and encryption workloads also favor Intel, with leads of 46.3% and 53.7% respectively. Random string sorting shows a 54% Intel advantage. The only test where the AMD part avoids a majority-percentage deficit is PassMark single-thread, and even there it trails by 16.3%. The data does not reveal any workload category where the AMD chip takes the lead.

The Verdict

The benchmark data is unambiguous. The Intel Core i9-14901E outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE in every recorded test, with an average benchmark score of 37911 against 17614. The Intel part sits in the 86th percentile of all CPUs, while the AMD part sits in the 71st percentile. The Intel chip's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with a delta of 0% and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X with a delta of 0.1% in Intel's favor. The AMD chip's nearest rivals, the Intel Core i3-14100T and Intel Core i3-13100F, both trail it by 0.2%.

For users who need maximum multi-threaded throughput, rendering performance, or compute-heavy number crunching, the Intel Core i9-14901E is the clear choice from this data. Its 8 cores, 16 threads, 36 MB of L3 cache, and 5.60 GHz boost clock deliver roughly double the Cinebench multi-core performance of the AMD part. The Intel chip also leads in every PassMark workload, with margins ranging from 16.3% in single-thread to 76.7% in find prime numbers.

The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE offers a 35 W TDP compared to the Intel part's 65 W, which indicates lower power draw. It also uses the smaller 4 nm process node and the more recent Zen 4 architecture. In lightly threaded single-core PassMark testing, the AMD part comes closest, trailing by only 16.3%. However, no benchmark in the recorded data shows the AMD chip winning, and the average score difference is more than two-fold. The data supports selecting the Intel Core i9-14901E for any workload represented in these benchmarks.
