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

Where Each One Wins

The data is unambiguous: the Intel Core i7-14701E wins every single benchmark recorded in the database. Across 17 head-to-head tests, the Intel part takes 17 wins, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE records zero victories. This is not a close contest with trade-offs; it is a comprehensive sweep by the Intel processor.

For multi-threaded workloads, the Intel part dominates. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22195 against 12511 for the AMD chip represents a 43.6% difference. PassMark multithread results show 26112 versus 14403, a 44.8% gap. The Intel processor also leads heavily in floating-point math (61873 vs 25258, a 59.2% difference) and integer math (81325 vs 40348, a 50.4% difference). These results indicate the Intel chip is the clear choice for rendering, compilation, scientific computing, and any workload that scales with core count and thread count.

Single-thread performance also favors Intel, though by a narrower margin. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3133 versus 1766 represents a 43.6% gap, while PassMark single-thread shows 4305 versus 3828, an 11.1% difference. The smaller gap in PassMark single-thread suggests the AMD chip's Zen 4 architecture has competitive per-core efficiency, but the Intel part still comes out ahead.

The largest deltas in favor of Intel appear in specialized workloads. Prime number finding shows a 70.5% gap (176 vs 52), physics simulation shows a 64.3% gap (2399 vs 857), and floating-point math shows a 59.2% gap. These are workloads where the Intel chip's additional cores and higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz against 4.90 GHz provide a substantial advantage.

The AMD processor's role in this comparison is defined by its efficiency profile, not by benchmark wins. With a 35 W TDP against the Intel part's 65 W, the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE targets low-power desktop builds. The database shows no scenario where the AMD chip outperforms Intel, but its power envelope and integrated Radeon 740M graphics position it differently in the market.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14701E outperforms the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE across every recorded benchmark, with deltas ranging from 11.1% to 70.5%. The most extreme gap appears in PassMark find prime numbers, where Intel scores 176 against 52 for AMD, a 70.5% difference. This workload heavily favors the Intel part's 8 cores and 16 threads over AMD's 4 cores and 8 threads.

PassMark physics shows the second-largest gap at 64.3% (2399 vs 857). Floating-point math follows at 59.2% (61873 vs 25258). These results confirm that the Intel processor delivers more than double the compute throughput in math-heavy tasks. Integer math shows a 50.4% gap (81325 vs 40348), and multithread performance shows a 44.8% gap (26112 vs 14403).

The Cinebench suite shows consistent 43.6% to 43.8% gaps across R15, R20, and R23, for both multicore and single-core tests. R15 multicore: 2237 vs 1260 (43.7% gap). R15 single-core: 315 vs 177 (43.8% gap). R20 multicore: 9321 vs 5254 (43.6% gap). R20 single-core: 1315 vs 741 (43.7% gap). R23 multicore: 22195 vs 12511 (43.6% gap).

The smallest gap is in PassMark single-thread, where Intel leads by 11.1% (4305 vs 3828). This result appears twice in the database under slightly different test names (passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread), both showing identical scores. This narrow margin suggests the AMD Zen 4 core is competitive on a per-thread basis, but the Intel chip still wins.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in core configuration. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE offers 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel Core i7-14701E offers 8 cores and 16 threads. This doubling of cores and threads explains much of the performance gap in multithreaded workloads.

Clock speeds differ: AMD lists a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.90 GHz, while Intel lists a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The Intel part has a higher boost ceiling by 0.50 GHz, which contributes to its single-thread advantage.

Thermal design power differs significantly: the AMD chip has a 35 W TDP, while the Intel chip has a 65 W TDP. This makes the AMD processor more suitable for compact or low-power systems, though the database does not include power consumption measurements.

Cache configuration differs. The AMD part has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 8 MB shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB L1 per core, 2 MB L2 per core, and 33 MB shared L3. The Intel chip's larger L3 cache (33 MB vs 8 MB) provides more capacity for frequently accessed data.

Memory support differs: AMD supports DDR5 only, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The AMD part lists a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, while the Intel part does not have a bandwidth figure in the database. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs: AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part offers a newer PCIe generation and more lanes.

Integrated graphics differ: AMD uses Radeon 740M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are integrated solutions, and the database does not include graphics benchmarks.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The chip contains 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. It belongs to the 8000 series and the Ryzen 3 generation, specifically Zen 4 (Phoenix).

The Intel Core i7-14701E uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel. The die size is 257 mm², and the transistor count is not recorded in the database. It belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and the Core i7 generation, specifically Raptor Lake Refresh.

The manufacturing process difference is notable: 4 nm TSMC versus 10 nm Intel. The AMD chip uses a more advanced process node, which contributes to its lower 35 W TDP despite a smaller die. The Intel chip uses a larger die (257 mm² vs 137 mm²) and an older process node, which correlates with its higher 65 W TDP.

Socket compatibility differs completely: AMD uses Socket AM5, while Intel uses Socket 1700. These platforms are not interchangeable, so motherboard choice is dictated by the processor.

Both processors have locked multipliers, meaning they do not support user overclocking. Both are listed as Active in production status. The AMD part released on 2024-04-15, while the Intel part released on 2024-06-30.

The AMD chip's architecture emphasizes efficiency: 4 nm process, 35 W TDP, and a smaller die. The Intel chip's architecture emphasizes throughput: more cores, larger cache, and a higher boost clock of 5.40 GHz.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i7-14701E is the superior performer in every measured metric. The database shows 17 wins for Intel and 0 for AMD, with an average benchmark score of 33206 versus 18505. The Intel part ranks at the 83rd percentile against all CPUs, while the AMD part ranks at the 72nd percentile. For any workload where performance matters, the Intel processor delivers substantially more compute throughput.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE cannot compete on raw performance, but its 35 W TDP against Intel's 65 W TDP positions it for efficiency-focused builds. The AMD chip uses a 4 nm TSMC process, which explains its lower power envelope. It also offers a smaller die (137 mm² vs 257 mm²) and fewer transistors in the database record (20,900 million, with Intel's count not recorded).

The Intel processor's advantages are comprehensive: double the cores (8 vs 4), double the threads (16 vs 8), a higher boost clock (5.40 GHz vs 4.90 GHz), larger L3 cache (33 MB vs 8 MB), and PCIe Gen 5 support. The AMD chip's advantages are limited to a lower TDP, a more advanced process node, and DDR5-only memory support versus Intel's DDR4/DDR5 flexibility.

The closest contest is single-thread performance, where the Intel chip leads by only 11.1% in PassMark single-thread. This suggests the AMD Zen 4 core design is efficient per clock, but the Intel chip's higher 5.40 GHz boost clock still secures the win.

The verdict from the data is straightforward: choose the Intel Core i7-14701E for maximum performance in any multithreaded application, rendering workload, or compute-intensive task. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE serves a different purpose, one centered on low power consumption and a compact AM5 platform, but the benchmark record shows no scenario where it outperforms the Intel part. The performance gap ranges from 11.1% to 70.5% across all tests, with no exceptions.
