Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G is built on the Zen 4 architecture, using the Phoenix2 codename, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE uses Raptor Lake, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh. The manufacturing processes differ substantially: AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, whereas Intel uses a 10 nm process from its own foundry. This process difference helps explain why the AMD die measures 137 mm² with 20,900 million transistors, while the Intel die is larger at 257 mm² with no transistor count recorded.

The core configurations diverge sharply. The AMD part offers 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part offers 8 cores and 16 threads. Cache hierarchies also differ. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a much larger 33 MB of shared L3 cache.

Clock speeds show a notable tradeoff. The AMD base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost of 4.90 GHz, while the Intel base clock is lower at 2.10 GHz but boosts higher to 5.20 GHz. The Intel processor carries a 45 W TDP, lower than the AMD's 65 W TDP. Both support ECC memory, but the AMD part uses DDR5 exclusively, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the AMD processor, at 83.2 GB/s. PCIe connectivity differs as well: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Integrated graphics also distinguish the two. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G includes a Radeon 740M, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE includes UHD Graphics 770. Both processors are desktop parts with active production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a one-sided pattern in most workloads, but with one clear exception. Across all Cinebench R15, R20, and R23 tests, the Intel Core i7-14701TE leads by a consistent margin. In Cinebench R15 multicore, Intel scores 1716 against 1245 for AMD, a delta of -27.4%. In R15 singlecore, Intel scores 242 versus 175, a delta of -27.7%. The R20 tests show nearly identical gaps: multicore 7154 versus 5190 (-27.5%) and singlecore 1010 versus 732 (-27.5%). R23 follows the same pattern with multicore 17035 versus 12359 (-27.4%) and singlecore 2405 versus 1744 (-27.5%).

The PassMark suite reveals where the Intel part builds its larger margins. In floating point math, Intel scores 50219 versus 23374, a delta of -53.5%. Physics testing shows Intel at 1860 versus 772, a delta of -58.5%. Integer math gives Intel 65792 versus 37292, a delta of -43.3%. The prime number search test shows the widest relative gap, Intel at 143 versus 47, a delta of -67.1%. Multithread performance favors Intel at 20042 versus 13368, a delta of -33.3%. Data compression shows Intel at 220520 versus 150567, a delta of -31.7%. Data encryption gives Intel 11699 versus 8607, a delta of -26.4%. Extended instructions score Intel 14354 versus 11451, a delta of -20.2%. Random string sorting shows the smallest Intel advantage, 22760 versus 19703, a delta of -13.4%.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins the single-thread PassMark test decisively. It scores 3550 versus 2637 for Intel, a delta of 34.6% in AMD's favor. This result appears twice in the recorded data under two test names (passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread), confirming the same outcome.

The Verdict

The benchmark data consistently points to the Intel Core i7-14701TE as the stronger processor for the vast majority of workloads. It wins 15 of 17 recorded comparisons, and its average benchmark score of 26013 places it at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, well above the AMD part's 71st percentile and 17278 average score. The Intel processor doubles the core count and thread count, offers a larger L3 cache (33 MB versus 8 MB), and supports a higher boost clock (5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz). Its 45 W TDP also indicates lower power draw despite the performance advantage.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G holds a single meaningful advantage: single-thread PassMark performance. A 34.6% lead in that test demonstrates that the Zen 4 architecture, with its higher base clock of 3.40 GHz and 4 nm process, delivers strong per-thread efficiency. However, this advantage does not translate into wins in any Cinebench single-core test, where the Intel part leads by roughly 27.5% across all three versions.

For users running multi-threaded workloads, rendering, physics simulations, or math-heavy computations, the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the clear choice based on the recorded data. The margins range from -13.4% to -67.1% in favor of Intel across the PassMark suite. The AMD part may appeal to those prioritizing single-thread PassMark scores, but the data shows that this advantage does not generalize to other single-thread benchmarks.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i7-14701TE wins in every Cinebench test, covering both multicore and singlecore performance across R15, R20, and R23. The consistent -27.4% to -27.7% deltas suggest a stable architectural advantage in CPU rendering workloads regardless of test version. The Intel processor also dominates all PassMark math and physics tests. Floating point math, integer math, and prime number finding all show Intel leading by margins from -43.3% to -67.1%. Physics simulation shows a -58.5% gap, indicating a substantial advantage in multi-threaded scientific workloads.

The Intel processor wins in data-heavy tasks as well. Data compression shows a -31.7% lead, data encryption a -26.4% lead, and random string sorting a -13.4% lead. The multithread PassMark score confirms the overall trend at -33.3%. Extended instructions also favor Intel at -20.2%. In total, the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the winner in every recorded benchmark except the two instances of the single-thread PassMark test.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G wins exclusively in passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, both scoring 3550 versus 2637. This 34.6% margin indicates that the AMD processor has a specific strength in single-threaded PassMark evaluation. The higher base clock of 3.40 GHz, combined with the 4 nm Zen 4 architecture, likely contributes to this result. However, the data shows that this strength does not carry over to Cinebench single-core tests, where the Intel part leads by 27.5% or more. The AMD processor also has the lower average benchmark score at 17278, and its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i5-12450H and AMD Ryzen 5 4500, both scoring close to 17239 and 17333 respectively. The Intel Core i7-14701TE, by contrast, sits near the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS, with scores around 25981 and 26106.
