AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database contains a complete set of measured results for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, while the Intel Arc G3 currently has no recorded benchmark scores. This makes direct comparison of wins impossible. The AMD processor holds every recorded performance data point in this matchup because the Intel part has zero entries across all test categories.

For the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345, the strongest relative results appear in multi-threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11461 and the Cinebench R15 multicore score of 1712 place the chip in the 81st percentile among all CPUs tracked in the database. The PassMark multithread score of 19927 and the PassMark integer math score of 63475 reinforce this pattern. The single-core results are more modest by comparison: Cinebench R23 singlecore at 1818 and PassMark single thread at 3875.

The data compression and encryption results show specialized strengths. PassMark data compression scores 237484, and data encryption reaches 11814. These figures sit well above the average benchmark score of 29461 for the AMD part, indicating that compression workloads benefit substantially from the processor's feature set. Floating point math at 42621 and extended instructions at 17003 round out the computational picture.

The Intel Arc G3 has no wins because no benchmark data exists for it. Its percentile ranking of 50 appears in the database as a placeholder value, but without recorded scores, no workload can be attributed to it as a victory. The database records zero wins for both parts in head-to-head testing, which reflects the absence of paired benchmark results rather than a tie.

Architecture Differences

The two processors diverge sharply in their fundamental design. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 uses 6 cores and 12 threads, built on TSMC's 4 nm process with the Krackan Point codename. It belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. The Intel Arc G3 uses 14 cores and 14 threads, fabricated on Intel's own 3 nm process with the Panther Lake codename. This means the AMD part offers simultaneous multithreading while the Intel part does not, giving AMD two threads per core and Intel one thread per core.

Cache hierarchies differ substantially. The AMD processor provides 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 4 MB of L3 cache. The Intel processor provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel L3 allocation is significantly larger and shared across the whole chip, whereas the AMD L3 is a smaller pool. Per-core L1 and L2 allocations are also larger on the Intel side.

Memory support separates the two as well. AMD supports both DDR5 and LPDDR5X across a dual-channel bus, with 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Intel supports only LPDDR5X, also dual-channel, but with 136.5 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The Intel memory controller delivers roughly 50% more bandwidth despite the narrower memory type support. Neither processor supports ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs by generation and lane count. AMD provides Gen 4 with 14 lanes from the CPU. Intel provides Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU. The Intel implementation uses fewer lanes but a newer generation, which changes how expansion devices and accelerators attach to the processor.

Clock behavior shows a shared ceiling. Both processors boost to 4.60 GHz. The base clocks are close: AMD starts at 2.00 GHz and Intel at 1.90 GHz. Thermal design power ratings are also similar, with AMD at 28 watts and Intel at 25 watts. Both use mobile sockets, AMD Socket FP8 for AMD and Intel BGA 2540 for Intel.

The integrated graphics differ. AMD pairs its CPU with the Radeon 840M. Intel pairs its CPU with the Arc B370. Both are integrated solutions for mobile platforms, but the database records no benchmark comparisons between them.

Release timing places the Intel part later. AMD launched on 2025-01-14, while Intel's launch date is 2026-05-27. Both parts remain in active production status. The AMD part number is 100-000002122, and the Intel part number is SA4QZ. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking is not supported on either platform.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries for these two processors. The headToHeadBenchmarks field is empty, and the win counts for both parts stand at zero. Without paired test results, no direct numerical comparison can be made between the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 and the Intel Arc G3.

What can be analyzed is the AMD part's position against its recorded nearest rivals. The average benchmark score for the AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 is 29461. The closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 7 3800X with an average score of 29447, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD EPYC 9654 scores 29409, which is 0.2 percent lower than the Ryzen AI 7 345. The Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 29270, putting it 0.7 percent behind the AMD part. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE scores 29656, which is 0.7 percent ahead of the Ryzen AI 7 345.

These deltas indicate that the Ryzen AI 7 345 sits in a tightly packed performance band. Its average score places it within less than one percent of four different rivals spanning desktop, server, and mobile segments. The 81st percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that this is a competitive mobile processor, but the narrow deltas show that it does not break away from established parts.

For the Intel Arc G3, the nearest rivals list is empty, and the average benchmark score is recorded as zero. The 50th percentile ranking appears in the database, but without benchmark scores, this value carries no analytical weight. The Intel part cannot be positioned against the AMD part or any other processor using measured data from the database.

The specification table shows a clear division in design philosophy. AMD pairs fewer cores with simultaneous multithreading, a mature 4 nm TSMC process, and broader memory compatibility. Intel pairs more physical cores with no multithreading, a newer 3 nm Intel process, and higher memory bandwidth but narrower memory support. The Intel part also carries a significantly larger cache footprint across all three levels. Both parts cap at the same boost clock, and their TDP ratings are within 3 watts of each other. The database records no benchmark scores for the Intel part, so the architectural differences cannot yet be translated into measured performance deltas.
