AMD Ryzen 5 7400F vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and the Intel Arc G3 serve fundamentally different market segments, and the data confirms this at every level. The Ryzen 5 7400F is a desktop processor with a full benchmark suite, an average score of 32,750, and a percentile ranking of 83 among all CPUs. The Intel Arc G3 is a mobile processor with no recorded benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a percentile ranking of 50. The verdict is straightforward: the Ryzen 5 7400F is the only part with measurable performance data in this comparison. The Arc G3 cannot be positioned as a competitor on performance grounds because the database contains no scores for it. For anyone building a desktop system, the Ryzen 5 7400F delivers verified multi-threaded and single-threaded results. The Arc G3, with its mobile socket and 25 TDP, is a different class of hardware entirely.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 5 7400F wins on every benchmark that has been recorded. In Cinebench R23, it scores 21,765 in multi-core and 3,072 in single-core. In PassMark, it scores 25,645 in multithread, 3,689 in single-thread, 45,799 in floating point math, and 74,745 in integer math. The Arc G3 has zero recorded wins because its benchmark array is empty. The data does not show a single test where the Arc G3 outperforms the Ryzen 5 7400F. The only arena where the Arc G3 can claim any advantage is in its integrated graphics, as it includes an Arc B370 iGPU, while the Ryzen 5 7400F has no integrated graphics at all. However, that is a feature difference, not a benchmark win. For compute workloads, the Ryzen 5 7400F is the clear choice based on recorded results. For a mobile platform requiring integrated graphics, the Arc G3 has that capability, but no performance numbers exist to quantify it.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architecture generations and process nodes. The Ryzen 5 7400F uses Zen 4, codenamed Raphael, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake platform, built on a 3 nm process by Intel, with no transistor count or die size recorded. The Ryzen 5 7400F has 6 cores and 12 threads, while the Arc G3 has 14 cores and 14 threads, meaning the Arc G3 has no hyperthreading or equivalent simultaneous multithreading. The Ryzen 5 7400F operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, while the Arc G3 runs at 1.90 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. Cache hierarchies differ significantly: the Ryzen 5 7400F has 64 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. The Arc G3 has 192 KB L1 per core, 2.5 MB L2 per core, and 18 MB shared L3. The Ryzen 5 7400F supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, while the Arc G3 supports LPDDR5X with dual-channel 136.5 GB/s bandwidth. The Ryzen 5 7400F supports ECC memory; the Arc G3 does not. The Ryzen 5 7400F uses AMD Socket AM5 with 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, while the Arc G3 uses Intel BGA 2540 with 4 PCIe Gen 5 lanes. The Ryzen 5 7400F has an unlocked multiplier; the Arc G3 does not. The Ryzen 5 7400F is a desktop part with no integrated graphics; the Arc G3 is a mobile part with the Arc B370 iGPU.

FAQ

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and the Intel Arc G3. The headToHeadBenchmarks array is empty, and the winsA and winsB counters are both zero. However, the Ryzen 5 7400F has a full set of individual benchmark results, while the Arc G3 has none. This means the only quantitative comparison available is the recorded scores for the Ryzen part against its own nearest rivals. The Ryzen 5 7400F sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average score of 32,750. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600T, has an average score of 32,707, a delta of 0.1 percent. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32,697, a delta of 0.2 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32,812, a delta of -0.2 percent, meaning it is slightly ahead. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32,662, a delta of 0.3 percent. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, so the Ryzen 5 7400F effectively trades blows with these rivals. For the Arc G3, there are no rivals listed and no scores to compare, so the data cannot support any performance claims for it. The only concrete numbers in the head-to-head section are the Ryzen 5 7400F's own Cinebench and PassMark results, which show strong multi-threaded performance at 21,765 in Cinebench R23 and strong single-threaded performance at 3,072 in the same test.
