Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, with 4 cores and 8 threads. It is built on the Phoenix2 codename and belongs to the 8000 series. The Intel Core i5-14490F uses Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm Intel process, with 10 cores and 16 threads. It belongs to the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake-R codename.

The transistor counts differ substantially. The AMD chip packs 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel chip has no transistor count recorded in the database, but its die size is 215 mm². The AMD processor is denser per square millimeter, which is consistent with the smaller process node.

Cache configurations reflect the core count differences. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel Core i5-14490F has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's larger L3 pool aligns with its multi-core advantage in the recorded benchmarks.

Memory support diverges. The AMD processor supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but has no memory bandwidth figure in the database and does not support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core i5-14490F provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics separate the two clearly. The AMD chip includes a Radeon 740M integrated GPU. The Intel chip has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A. This means the AMD processor can power a display without a discrete GPU, while the Intel part requires a separate graphics card.

Clock speeds show a trade-off. The AMD chip runs a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts to 4.90 GHz, with a 35 W TDP. The Intel chip runs a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosts to 5.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The Intel part draws more power but reaches a slightly higher boost frequency.

Socket compatibility also differs. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported for either.

Release dates place the AMD chip later. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE was released on 2024-04-15, while the Intel Core i5-14490F was released on 2023-12-31.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear winner for performance workloads. The Intel Core i5-14490F leads by roughly 45% or more in every Cinebench test and by 43% to 62% in most PassMark tests. Its only narrow win is in single-threaded PassMark, where it leads by 1.2%. The Intel part also sits at the 86th percentile of all CPUs, compared to the AMD part's 72nd percentile.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE does have redeeming qualities in the recorded specifications. It draws only 35 W TDP versus 65 W for the Intel chip, making it the more power-efficient option on paper. It includes integrated graphics, which the Intel chip lacks entirely. It supports ECC memory, which the Intel chip does not. And it uses a smaller 4 nm process node with a higher transistor density.

For users who prioritize raw compute performance, the Intel Core i5-14490F is the choice based on the benchmark data. For users who need integrated graphics, low power draw, or ECC memory support, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE offers those features in a compact 4-core package.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i5-14490F wins every benchmark category in the database. Its largest advantages appear in floating point math, where it leads by 62.1%, and physics simulation, where it leads by 59.1%. It also dominates prime number finding with a 57.4% gap and integer math with a 54.1% gap. The smallest Intel advantage is in single-threaded PassMark at 1.2%.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins on specification-level attributes rather than benchmarks. It has a lower TDP at 35 W versus 65 W, which suggests lower power consumption. It includes integrated graphics, enabling display output without a separate GPU. It supports ECC memory for error-correcting workloads. It uses a 4 nm process node versus 10 nm, which indicates a more modern manufacturing process. Its 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die show a denser design than the Intel chip's 215 mm² die.

For multi-core productivity, the Intel part is decisively ahead. Its 16 threads versus 8 threads, combined with 24 MB of L3 cache versus 8 MB, produce the consistent 45% to 50% leads in Cinebench and PassMark multithread tests. The Intel chip's 10-core configuration gives it a structural advantage in parallel workloads that the AMD chip cannot overcome despite its higher base clock.

For single-core responsiveness, the Intel chip still leads, but the margin is narrow in PassMark. The 1.2% gap there suggests that the AMD Zen 4 architecture is competitive in lightly threaded tasks. The larger Cinebench single-core gaps, however, indicate that the Intel chip holds a broader advantage in rendering-oriented single-thread workloads.

For compact or low-power systems, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is the only viable option among the two, given its 35 W TDP and integrated Radeon 740M graphics. The Intel chip needs a discrete GPU and draws nearly double the power.
