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

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE and Intel Core i7-14701TE occupy different tiers of the desktop processor market, and the recorded benchmark data reflects that positioning clearly. The AMD part, built on a 4 nm process with a 35 W TDP, is a low-power quad-core, while the Intel part, a 45 W octa-core on a 10 nm node, targets higher throughput. Across the head-to-head suite, Intel wins 15 of 17 tests, but AMD claims a decisive victory in single-threaded PassMark, a result that highlights distinct architectural strengths.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i7-14701TE dominates the multi-core and compute-heavy workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, Intel scores 17035 against AMD's 12511, a 26.6% advantage. The same delta appears consistently across the Cinebench suite: R15 multi-core shows 1716 versus 1260, R20 multi-core shows 7154 versus 5254, and R23 single-core shows 2405 versus 1766, all with Intel ahead by 26.6% to 26.9%. The consistency of this margin suggests a structural advantage in raw throughput, not a workload-specific quirk.

The gap widens dramatically in math-intensive PassMark tests. In floating point math, Intel scores 50219 versus AMD's 25258, a 49.7% lead. Integer math shows Intel at 65792 against 40348, a 38.7% margin. Physics simulation favors Intel even more: 1860 versus 857, a 53.9% deficit for AMD. Prime number finding is the most lopsided result, with Intel scoring 143 against AMD's 52, a 63.6% difference. These results indicate that the Intel part's 8 cores and 16 threads provide a substantial parallel processing advantage over AMD's 4 cores and 8 threads, particularly in workloads that scale with core count.

Memory and data workloads also favor Intel. Data compression shows 220520 versus 162623, a 26.3% lead. Data encryption shows 11699 versus 9224, a 21.2% edge. Random string sorting is closer, with Intel at 22760 against 20134, an 11.5% difference. Extended instructions show Intel at 14354 versus 12313, a 14.2% margin. The multithreaded PassMark score sums this up: Intel at 20042 versus AMD at 14403, a 28.1% deficit for the AMD part.

The single exception is PassMark single-thread. Here the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE scores 3828, while the Intel Core i7-14701TE scores 2637. That is a 45.2% lead for AMD, the largest delta in either direction across all tests. This result is striking because Intel wins every other single-core Cinebench test, yet PassMark's single-thread workload favors the AMD architecture by a wide margin. The data suggests that PassMark's single-thread test exercises a specific instruction pattern or memory access behavior where the Zen 4 core excels, despite the Intel part's higher boost clock of 5.20 GHz versus 4.90 GHz.

Overall, the Intel part's average benchmark score is 26013, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. The AMD part averages 18505, placing it in the 72nd percentile. Intel's nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340, Ryzen 5 8640HS, and Ryzen 5 8540U, all with average scores within 0.7% of the Intel part. AMD's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-13420H, Core i3-14100F, and Core i3-13100, all within 0.7% as well.

Architecture Differences

The two processors use fundamentally different designs. AMD's Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix2, and manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Intel's Core i7-14701TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture, codenamed Raptor Lake-R, and is fabricated on a 10 nm process at Intel. The transistor counts reflect this: AMD packs 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die, while Intel's die is 257 mm², though its transistor count is not recorded in the database.

Core configurations differ sharply. AMD provides 4 cores and 8 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. Intel provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.20 GHz. The Intel part's lower base clock is compensated by its higher core count and boost capability, yet the AMD part's higher base clock contributes to its strong single-thread PassMark performance.

Cache hierarchies diverge as well. AMD allocates 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of shared L3. Intel allocates 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3. The Intel part's larger L3 cache, more than four times AMD's, helps explain its strong performance in data compression and encryption workloads. Neither part uses 3D V-Cache.

Memory support differs. AMD supports only DDR5, while Intel supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Both use dual-channel memory buses. AMD's memory bandwidth is listed at 83.2 GB/s; Intel's is not recorded. Both processors support ECC memory. PCIe capabilities also differ: AMD offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes (CPU only), while Intel offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part's newer PCIe generation provides a bandwidth advantage for storage and expansion devices.

Integrated graphics differ. AMD uses the Radeon 740M, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. Both are desktop processors, and both are currently in active production. AMD's part was released on April 15, 2024, while Intel's followed on June 30, 2024. Neither processor has a recorded launch MSRP, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture: the Intel Core i7-14701TE is the stronger all-around processor for multi-threaded workloads. Its 26.6% lead in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 49.7% lead in floating point math, and 63.6% lead in prime number finding demonstrate a consistent advantage in parallel computation. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration with 33 MB of L3 cache provides the resources needed for rendering, encryption, and data compression tasks. Its 45 W TDP is higher than AMD's 35 W, but the performance per watt in multi-core tests favors Intel based on the recorded deltas.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE has one clear domain: single-threaded PassMark performance. Its 45.2% lead in that test, despite a lower boost clock, indicates that the Zen 4 core handles certain instruction patterns more efficiently than Raptor Lake. For workloads that primarily rely on a single execution thread, such as legacy applications or lightly threaded interactive tasks, the AMD part shows a measurable edge.

The choice depends on the workload profile. For users running multi-threaded applications, video encoding, scientific simulations, or database operations, the Intel part's 15 wins out of 17 head-to-head tests make it the logical selection. For users with a dominant single-thread bottleneck, the AMD part's PassMark single-thread score offers a specific advantage, though its overall average benchmark score of 18505 sits significantly below Intel's 26013. The Intel part also reaches the 78th percentile of all CPUs, versus AMD's 72nd, confirming its higher standing in the database's performance hierarchy.
