AMD Ryzen 5 7400 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database does not contain any head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 and the Intel Arc G3. The recorded data lists a full suite of PassMark tests for the AMD part, while the Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark scores entered at all. Its average benchmark score is recorded as 0, and its percentile versus all CPUs is 50. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400, by contrast, holds a percentile of 88 and an average benchmark score of 42,055.

Within the AMD’s own benchmark suite, the strongest results appear in data compression, where it scores 261,749, and integer math, where it scores 64,733. Floating point math reaches 40,784, random string sorting hits 31,110, and extended instructions land at 19,924. The multithread score is 21,712, while single-thread performance is recorded at 3,248. Find prime numbers is the lowest workload at 79, and physics simulation reaches 1,150. Data encryption scores 14,865.

Because the Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark entries, direct comparisons cannot be made from the measured data. The only quantitative contrast available is the average benchmark score and percentile field, neither of which gives the Intel part a usable figure. The AMD processor’s nearest rivals in the database are all from other families: the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS averages 41,963 (0.2% behind), the Intel Core i7-14700T averages 41,914 (0.3% behind), the Intel Core i7-12850HX averages 41,779 (0.7% behind), and the Intel Core i9-12900K averages 42,335 (0.7% ahead). The Ryzen 5 7400 sits within a 1.4 percentage point band across its four closest competitors, placing it in a tightly contested performance tier.

Architecture Differences

The two processors are built on different foundations. The AMD Ryzen 5 7400 uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Raphael codename, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. It contains 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename, fabricated by Intel on a 3 nm process. It contains 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The core counts differ notably: the Intel part has more than double the cores, but it has no hyperthreading, so its thread count equals its core count. The AMD part uses simultaneous multithreading, giving it 12 threads from 6 cores.

Cache layouts also diverge. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. Per-core L2 is 2.5 times larger on the Intel side, and shared L3 is 2 MB larger, but the AMD part has a smaller L1 per core.

Memory support differs by platform. The AMD chip uses DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, and it supports ECC memory. The Intel chip uses LPDDR5X with a dual-channel bus and a recorded bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, which is 64% higher, but it does not support ECC memory. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD part offers Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). The AMD processor is unlocked for overclocking, while the Intel processor is locked.

The AMD chip is a desktop part on Socket AM5, with a TDP of 65 and an integrated Radeon Graphics unit. The Intel chip is a mobile part on Intel BGA 2540, with a TDP of 25 and an integrated Arc B370 graphics unit. Production status for both is Active. The AMD part carries the part number 100-000001900, while the Intel part carries SA4QZ. The AMD release date is recorded as September 2025, while the Intel release date is recorded as May 2026. Transistor count is listed for the AMD part at 6,570 million with a die size of 71 mm²; no transistor or die size data exists for the Intel part.

Where Each One Wins

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 wins in every measurable category because it is the only part with benchmark scores. Its 88th percentile ranking places it above the median CPU in the database, and its average score of 42,055 confirms a solid all-around showing. The nearest rival data shows the AMD part is within 0.7% of the Intel Core i9-12900K, a high-end desktop processor, and slightly ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700T, the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS, and the Intel Core i7-12850HX. Those margins are small, but they indicate the Ryzen 5 7400 clusters with strong desktop and mobile parts from the previous generation.

The Intel Arc G3, with no benchmark entries, cannot be assigned any workload wins from the database. Its percentile of 50 indicates it sits at the median of all CPUs in the database, but without specific test scores, the data cannot show where it excels. Its architectural traits, however, point to a different usage profile. The higher memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, the larger L2 per core at 2.5 MB, and the higher boost clock of 4.60 GHz are recorded advantages on paper. The lower TDP of 25 compared to 65 suggests a more power-efficient operating envelope, but no power measurements exist in the database to confirm real-world behavior.

The AMD part’s strengths in the measured data appear across integer and floating point workloads, data compression, and multithreaded tasks. Its single-thread score of 3,248 is a strong figure for a 6-core desktop chip, and its data compression score of 261,749 dominates the rest of its own suite. The Intel part’s 14 cores and 14 threads give it a raw core-count advantage that could benefit heavily parallel workloads, but the absence of benchmark data prevents any confirmation. The AMD part also holds a clear advantage in PCIe lane count at 24 versus 4, which matters for systems with multiple add-in cards or NVMe devices, while the Intel part’s 4 lanes target a mobile platform with limited expansion.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear choice for any user who needs measured performance: the AMD Ryzen 5 7400 is the only processor in this comparison with benchmark results. It ranks in the 88th percentile of all CPUs in the database, holds an average score of 42,055, and sits within 0.7% of the Intel Core i9-12900K, a well-known high-end desktop part. Its 6 cores and 12 threads deliver a multithread score of 21,712 and a single-thread score of 3,248, both of which are usable figures for desktop workloads. The unlocked multiplier and 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes add flexibility for overclocking and expansion.

The Intel Arc G3 cannot be recommended on the basis of benchmark data because no scores are recorded. Its architectural specifications, such as 14 cores, a 4.60 GHz boost clock, and 136.5 GB/s of memory bandwidth, are present in the database, but they lack validation from any test results. Its 50th percentile ranking is a neutral placeholder, not a performance measurement. For a mobile processor with a 25 TDP, the specifications suggest efficiency and bandwidth, but the database does not contain evidence to support a definitive performance claim.

Users who require a desktop processor with active production status, ECC memory support, and a broad PCIe interface should select the AMD Ryzen 5 7400. Users who need a mobile processor with a low TDP and high memory bandwidth may consider the Intel Arc G3, but they should do so knowing that its performance profile is unmeasured in this database. The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: the AMD part has the numbers to back its position, while the Intel part remains an unverified entry.
