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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data presents a decisive result: the Intel Core i9-14901E wins all 17 recorded head-to-head comparisons against the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE. The database shows no benchmark where the AMD part takes the lead, which makes the performance gap both consistent and directional.

The largest margins appear in compute-heavy workloads. In PassMark's find prime numbers test, the Intel part scores 189 against 52, a 72.5% advantage. Floating point math shows a similar pattern, with the i9-14901E scoring 81089 versus 25258, a 68.9% lead. Integer math follows at 112736 versus 40348, a 64.2% gap. These three tests indicate that raw arithmetic throughput is heavily skewed toward the Intel processor.

The Cinebench suite reinforces the same conclusion. In Cinebench R23 multicore, the Intel part scores 25753 against 12511, a 51.4% difference. The single-core R23 result is 3635 versus 1766, also a 51.4% gap. Cinebench R20 multicore shows 10816 versus 5254, and R20 single-core shows 1526 versus 741, both at 51.4% deltas. The R15 results are nearly identical in proportion: multicore 2595 versus 1260 and single-core 366 versus 177, with deltas of 51.4% and 51.6% respectively.

PassMark multithread scoring places the Intel part at 30298 versus 14403, a 52.5% lead. Data compression shows 288777 versus 162623, a 43.7% gap, while data encryption shows 18571 versus 9224, a 50.3% difference. Random string sorting lands at 39138 versus 20134, a 48.6% gap. Extended instructions, the closest multicore comparison, still favors Intel by 28.6%, with scores of 17249 and 12313.

The narrowest margin in the entire dataset is PassMark single-thread performance. The Intel part scores 4354 against 3828, a 12.1% lead. This is the only test where the gap falls below 28%, which suggests that per-core efficiency is the most competitive area for the AMD processor, even though it still loses decisively.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i9-14901E wins every recorded benchmark category, so the use-case split is defined by the magnitude of the advantage rather than by any AMD victory. The i9-14901E shows its strongest edge in prime number finding, physics simulation, and floating point math, with deltas of 72.5%, 71.8%, and 68.9% respectively. These workloads respond directly to the larger core count and higher boost clock.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE is closest in single-thread performance, where the Intel lead shrinks to 12.1%. This indicates that the Zen 4 core design in the AMD part is competitive on a per-thread basis, but the Intel processor still holds the advantage. The data does not reveal any scenario where the Ryzen part outperforms the i9-14901E, so any workload selection would still favor the Intel chip.

For workloads involving extended instruction sets, the Intel lead is 28.6%, the smallest multicore gap in the dataset. This suggests that both processors handle modern instruction extensions reasonably well, but the i9-14901E still delivers noticeably higher throughput. Data compression and random string sorting show mid-range gaps of 43.7% and 48.6%, indicating that memory-bound and pattern-based tasks strongly favor the Intel part.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to one conclusion: the Intel Core i9-14901E is the faster processor in every measured category. It holds an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE sits at the 72nd percentile. The average benchmark score for the Intel part is 37911, more than double the AMD average of 18505.

The Intel processor's nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X at -0.1%, the Intel Core 5 211E at 0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 at 0.3%. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE, by contrast, sits near the Intel Core i5-13420H at 0% delta, the Intel Core i3-14100F at -0.1%, the Intel Core i3-13100 at 0.7%, and the Intel Core 7 360 at 0.7%. This places the two processors in entirely different performance tiers.

The choice between them depends on workload requirements. The i9-14901E delivers 8 cores and 16 threads against the 8300GE's 4 cores and 8 threads, which explains the consistent multicore dominance. The Intel part also boosts to 5.60 GHz versus 4.90 GHz, which supports its single-thread lead. For any application where benchmark scores translate directly to throughput, the Intel part is the clear selection from the data.

Specification Differences

The Intel Core i9-14901E has a base clock of 2.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, compared to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE's base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.90 GHz. The AMD part has a higher base clock, but the Intel part has a substantially higher boost clock.

Thermal design power differs significantly. The AMD part is rated at 35 W, while the Intel part is rated at 65 W. This makes the AMD processor the lower-power option, while the Intel processor has a higher power envelope that supports its additional cores and higher boost frequency.

Sockets are incompatible. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The Intel part is from the Core 14th Gen series with the Raptor Lake Refresh generation name, while the AMD part is from the 8000 series with the Ryzen 3 generation name.

Neither processor has a launch MSRP recorded in the database, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's part number is 100-000001189, and the Intel part's part number is Q49ESRNJH. Both are listed as Active in production status and target the desktop market segment. The AMD processor was released on 2024-04-15, while the Intel processor was released on 2024-06-30.
