AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 and the Intel Arc G3 cannot be compared directly on a single benchmark run, as the database contains no overlapping test results. The AMD part has a full suite of recorded scores across Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark workloads. The Intel Arc G3 currently has no benchmark entries at all, so its average benchmark score sits at zero. This makes a score-for-score comparison impossible.

What can be assessed is the AMD part's standing against its nearest rivals, which provides context for where the Ryzen AI 5 340 sits in the broader mobile processor landscape. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 posts an average benchmark score of 25,981, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-14701TE, scores 26,013, a delta of -0.1%, meaning the AMD chip trails by a hair. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE scores 25,880, a delta of +0.4%, meaning the Ryzen AI 5 340 leads by that margin. The AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS scores 26,106, a delta of -0.5%, so the Ryzen AI 5 340 is behind. The Intel Core i7-11700K scores 25,812, a delta of +0.7%, putting the Ryzen AI 5 340 ahead.

Looking at specific workloads, the Ryzen AI 5 340 delivers its strongest results in multi-threaded rendering. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 12,532, while in Cinebench R15 multi-core it records 1,915. Single-core performance is also solid: Cinebench R23 single-core yields 1,915.5, and Cinebench R15 single-core yields 242.6. Geekbench results show 9,165 multi-core and 2,140 single-core. Passmark integer math hits 63,078, floating point math reaches 39,967, and extended instructions score 16,440. Data encryption scores 11,470, while data compression hits 229,796. Random string sorting records 24,970, and find prime numbers scores 72. Physics in Passmark comes to 1,095, and multi-thread performance is 19,506. Single-thread results appear twice in the database, both at 3,683.

The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded scores in any of these tests. Its percentile ranking sits at 50, but that figure reflects an absence of data rather than a measured performance level. With an average benchmark score of 0, the database treats the Intel part as unmeasured. Any assertion about its performance relative to the AMD chip would be speculation, and the data does not support such claims.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is the only part with measurable performance. It ranks in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, which indicates a competitive position for mobile workloads. Its average benchmark score of 25,981 places it within a narrow band of rivals: the Intel Core i7-14701TE is essentially tied at -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE is slightly behind at +0.4%, the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS is slightly ahead at -0.5%, and the Intel Core i7-11700K trails at +0.7%. The spread across these four rivals is just 1.2 percentage points, which suggests the Ryzen AI 5 340 sits in a tightly contested performance tier.

For users selecting a processor strictly on the basis of available benchmark results, the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 is the only option with verified scores. The Intel Arc G3 cannot be evaluated because no measurements exist in the database. The AMD chip also carries a higher percentile ranking (78 versus 50), though again, that ranking for Intel reflects missing data rather than a poor result. The recorded data indicates the AMD part is a functional, mid-to-high-tier mobile processor. The Intel part, as far as the database shows, is unproven.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 uses the Zen 5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. Its codename is Krackan Point, and it belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The die size is 195 mm². The Intel Arc G3 uses a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry, with the codename Panther Lake and the generation labeled Arc G3 (Panther Lake). No architecture name is listed for the Intel part, and no die size is recorded.

Cache configurations differ markedly. The AMD chip has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 8 MB of L3 cache. The Intel chip has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The Intel part's larger cache hierarchy is notable, especially the 18 MB shared L3, which is more than double the AMD part's L3. The AMD part's L1 and L2 are smaller per core, though it has fewer cores to feed.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while the Intel Arc G3 supports only LPDDR5X. Both use dual-channel memory buses. The integrated graphics differ: AMD pairs the CPU with a Radeon 840M, while Intel pairs it with an Arc B370. The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), whereas the Intel part uses PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). That is a significant interface difference, with AMD offering more lanes at an older generation and Intel offering fewer lanes at a newer generation.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 has 6 cores and 12 threads. The Intel Arc G3 has 14 cores and 14 threads, which indicates no hyperthreading or equivalent on the Intel side. The AMD part's base clock is 2.00 GHz and its boost clock is 4.80 GHz. The Intel part's base clock is 1.90 GHz and its boost clock is 4.60 GHz. The AMD chip runs a higher clock at both ends.

Thermal design power differs slightly: the AMD part is rated at 28 W, the Intel part at 25 W. Both are mobile processors, and both use sockets that are not user-upgradeable: AMD Socket FP8 for the AMD chip and Intel BGA 2540 for the Intel chip. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier. The AMD part's part number is 100-000001602, while the Intel part's is SA4QZ.

Memory bandwidth is a clear differentiator. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 has a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Arc G3 has a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s, which is about 52% higher. Both support LPDDR5X, but the Intel part only supports LPDDR5X, while AMD also supports DDR5. Neither supports ECC memory.

Release dates are far apart. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 was released on January 5, 2025. The Intel Arc G3 was released on May 27, 2026. Both are listed as active in production. Neither has a launch MSRP in the database, so no pricing information is available. The process node gives Intel a manufacturing edge at 3 nm versus AMD's 4 nm, and the foundry differs as well: Intel fabricates its own chip, while AMD uses TSMC.
