AMD Ryzen 5 220 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

The Verdict

The database shows a clear separation between these two mobile processors. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs tracked, with an average benchmark score of 22289. The Intel Arc G3, by contrast, currently holds the 50th percentile, and the recorded data contains no benchmark entries for it, giving it an average score of zero. Any direct performance comparison is therefore impossible at this time; the Intel part has no measured results in the database.

The AMD Ryzen 5 220 delivers a full set of benchmark results across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark suites. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i7-10700K (0.3% ahead), the Intel Core i5-13500H (0.8% behind), the Intel Core i7-1270P (0.9% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X (1.4% behind). This positions the Ryzen 5 220 in a tightly contested band where it trades places with several established desktop and mobile parts. The Intel Arc G3 has no rivals listed and no scores, meaning the database cannot rank it against anything yet.

For users choosing strictly from available data, the Ryzen 5 220 is the only one with verifiable performance. The Arc G3 should be considered an unmeasured entry until the database receives benchmark results. The AMD part is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 4 design that has already demonstrated competitive scores against a range of Intel and AMD processors. The Intel part is a 14-core, 14-thread Panther Lake design, but without recorded scores, its actual capability remains undetermined.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different foundries and process nodes. The AMD Ryzen 5 220 uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while the Intel Arc G3 uses a 3 nm process from Intel's own foundry. The AMD chip is built on the Zen 4 architecture under the Hawk Point codename. The Intel chip uses the Panther Lake codename, with the database listing no specific architecture name for it.

The Ryzen 5 220 packs 20,900 million transistors on a 137 mm² die. The Intel part has no transistor count or die size recorded. Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD design allocates 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel design provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The larger L3 pool on the Intel side is notable, though the per-core L2 difference is the more striking gap: 2.5 MB per core versus 1 MB per core.

Memory support also differs. The AMD processor uses DDR5 with dual-channel access and a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor uses LPDDR5X with dual-channel access and a recorded bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The Intel part has a 53% bandwidth advantage per the recorded figures. PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count: the AMD part provides Gen 4 with 14 CPU lanes, while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with only 4 CPU lanes.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD chip carries a Radeon 740M, while the Intel chip carries an Arc B370. Both are mobile market segments, both are listed as Active in production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark section in the database is empty. There are no recorded comparative tests between the AMD Ryzen 5 220 and the Intel Arc G3. The win counts for both sides are zero. This absence of direct comparison data means the analysis must rely on the broader benchmark suite available for the AMD part alone.

The Ryzen 5 220 shows strong single-core and multi-core results in the recorded data. In Cinebench R23, it scores 2188 in single-core and 15502 in multi-core. The R20 run shows 918 single-core and 6510 multi-core. The R15 run shows 220 single-core and 1562 multi-core. Geekbench results are 2027 single-core and 7974 multi-core.

Passmark results cover a wide range of workloads. The multi-thread score is 18582, single-thread is 3646, integer math is 57987, floating-point math is 35500, extended instructions is 15512, data compression is 212739, data encryption is 12493, physics is 983, random string sorting is 25433, and prime number finding is 65.

Against its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 220 is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-10700K, sitting just 0.3% behind that chip's average score. It trails the Intel Core i5-13500H by 0.8% and the Intel Core i7-1270P by 0.9%. It leads the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X by 1.4%. These deltas are small, suggesting the Ryzen 5 220 performs in line with a diverse set of desktop and mobile processors that span multiple generations and architectures.

The Intel Arc G3, with no benchmark entries, cannot be placed in any such comparison. The database records zero wins for it, zero losses, and no rival deltas. Any statement about its performance relative to the Ryzen 5 220 would be unsupported by the recorded data.

Both parts are dual-channel, neither supports ECC memory, both are mobile segments, both are Active in production, both have locked multipliers, and neither has a launch MSRP recorded in the database.

The core and thread counts present a notable asymmetry. The Intel chip has 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning no hyperthreading. The AMD chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, meaning two threads per core. The Intel chip's base clock of 1.90 GHz is far lower than the AMD's 3.20 GHz, though the boost clocks are closer: 4.60 GHz versus 4.90 GHz. The TDP difference is small, with the AMD part rated at 28 W and the Intel part at 25 W.

The Intel part's memory bandwidth advantage is substantial, and its PCIe generation is newer, but the lane count is far lower. The AMD part has more PCIe lanes and a higher boost clock. The cache structure favors Intel on every level of the hierarchy, with larger per-core L1 and L2 and a larger shared L3.
