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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a complete set of Cinebench and Passmark results for the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE, while the Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmark scores in the current dataset. This asymmetry means the only direct numerical comparisons available come from the AMD processor's individual scores and its placement against other CPUs in the database.

The Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE posts a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12511 and a single-core score of 1766. In Cinebench R20, it achieves 5254 multicore and 741 single-core, while in R15 it records 1260 multicore and 177 single-core. These results show a consistent pattern: the multicore scores scale appropriately with the processor's 4-core, 8-thread configuration, while single-core performance reflects the 4.90 GHz boost clock.

Passmark results for the AMD part include a multithread score of 14403, a single-thread score of 3828, and an average benchmark score of 18505. The integer math test shows 40348, floating point math shows 25258, and the extended instructions test shows 12313. Data compression scores 162623, data encryption scores 9224, and random string sorting scores 20134. The find prime numbers test returns 52, while physics scores 857.

Since the Intel part has no benchmark data, the head-to-head comparison cannot rely on direct test results. Instead, the AMD processor's percentile ranking among all CPUs is 72, while the Intel processor's percentile ranking is 50. This 22-point gap in the database's overall ranking metric indicates that the AMD part sits in a stronger relative position based on its measured performance, even though the Intel part's absolute performance is unknown.

The AMD processor's nearest rivals in the database provide useful context. The Intel Core i5-13420H shows an average score of 18511 with a delta of 0 percent, meaning the two are statistically identical. The Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18519 with a delta of -0.1 percent, also effectively tied. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380 with a delta of 0.7 percent, putting the AMD part slightly ahead. The Intel Core 7 360 scores 18374 with a delta of 0.7 percent, again a marginal AMD advantage. These comparisons show the Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE performing on par with mid-range Intel parts from the same generation, despite having half the cores of the i9-14901TE.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE uses the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix2 codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 20,900 million transistors into a 137 mm² die. The Intel Core i9-14901TE uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, built on a 10 nm process at Intel's own foundry. Its die size is 257 mm², and the database does not list a transistor count.

Core counts differ substantially. The AMD part has 4 cores and 8 threads, while the Intel part has 8 cores and 16 threads. This doubles the thread count on the Intel side. Base clocks also differ: the AMD runs at 3.40 GHz and boosts to 4.90 GHz, while the Intel runs at 2.30 GHz and boosts to 5.50 GHz. The Intel part has a higher boost ceiling, but the AMD part has a higher base clock.

Cache hierarchies show clear differences. The AMD part uses 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 8 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part uses 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part's L3 cache is more than four times larger, which can matter in workloads that repeatedly access large working sets.

Memory support differs. The AMD part supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a measured bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but the database does not list a memory bandwidth figure. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe capabilities favor the Intel part. The Intel Core i9-14901TE offers Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE offers Gen 4 with 14 lanes. This gives the Intel processor more bandwidth for discrete GPUs or NVMe storage, though the AMD part's Gen 4 support is still current for most peripherals.

Integrated graphics also differ. The AMD part includes Radeon 740M graphics, while the Intel part includes UHD Graphics 770. The database does not include comparative graphics benchmarks, so no performance ranking is possible from the recorded data.

Both processors are locked, with the multiplier unlocked flag set to false for each. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. Both are classified as desktop parts, both are active in production, and neither has a recorded launch MSRP in the database.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE wins in several areas based on the available data. Its 4 nm process node is significantly more advanced than Intel's 10 nm node, which typically translates to better power efficiency per core. The 35 W TDP for the AMD part is lower than the 45 W TDP for the Intel part, and that power envelope applies to fewer cores, so each AMD core operates within a tighter power budget.

The AMD part's higher base clock of 3.40 GHz versus 2.30 GHz gives it an advantage in lightly threaded workloads that do not boost. For single-thread tasks that stay at base clocks, the AMD processor starts from a higher point. Its boost clock of 4.90 GHz is lower than Intel's 5.50 GHz, so the Intel part can pull ahead when boosting is sustained.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE wins on raw core count and thread count. With 8 cores and 16 threads versus 4 cores and 8 threads, the Intel part has twice the parallel execution resources. For workloads that scale linearly with cores, such as video rendering, compilation, or scientific computing, the Intel part holds a structural advantage that the AMD part cannot offset with clock speed alone.

The Intel part also wins on cache capacity. Its 36 MB of L3 cache is dramatically larger than the AMD part's 8 MB. Workloads with large working sets, such as database operations or certain simulation tasks, can benefit from reduced memory traffic. The Intel part's 2 MB L2 per core doubles the AMD part's 1 MB per core, and its 80 KB L1 per core exceeds the AMD part's 64 KB.

PCIe Gen 5 support on the Intel part gives it a win for storage and expansion. A Gen 5 NVMe drive or GPU can run at full bandwidth, while the AMD part's Gen 4 implementation caps at half the theoretical transfer rate. For users building systems around the fastest available storage, this is a meaningful difference.

The AMD part wins on memory bandwidth efficiency. Its 83.2 GB/s figure is recorded in the database, while the Intel part has no listed bandwidth. The AMD part also supports only DDR5, which means it cannot drop to slower DDR4 memory. This is a constraint, but for users who pair it with fast DDR5, the bandwidth is competitive.

The AMD part's smaller die size of 137 mm² versus 257 mm² suggests lower manufacturing cost per wafer, though the database does not include pricing data. The AMD part also has a higher percentile ranking of 72 versus 50, indicating better measured overall performance placement in the database.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split based on workload type. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE delivers competitive measured performance in the database, with a percentile ranking of 72 and an average benchmark score of 18505. Its nearest rivals, all Intel parts, sit within 0.7 percent of its average score, meaning the AMD processor holds its own against similarly configured CPUs. Its 4 nm process and 35 W TDP make it a sensible choice for systems where power draw and thermal output are primary constraints.

The Intel Core i9-14901TE has no recorded benchmarks, so its actual performance cannot be quantified from the database. What the data shows is structural: twice the cores, twice the threads, a larger cache, a higher boost clock, and PCIe Gen 5 support. For workloads that can use all 16 threads, the Intel part has a theoretical advantage that the AMD part cannot match. The 36 MB L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core also give the Intel part a memory hierarchy that favors sustained multi-threaded execution.

The AMD part wins on efficiency metrics. Lower TDP, smaller die, advanced process node, and a higher percentile ranking all point to a processor that does more with less. Its 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is recorded and competitive. For single-thread tasks that stay near base clocks, the AMD part's 3.40 GHz start is higher than Intel's 2.30 GHz.

The choice comes down to workload scaling. Users who run highly parallel workloads, such as rendering or compilation, should favor the Intel part for its core count and cache. Users who prioritize power efficiency, compact systems, and measured performance in lighter workloads should favor the AMD part. The database does not include direct head-to-head benchmarks, so the verdict rests on the architectural differences and the available score data.
