AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database currently holds no direct head-to-head measurements for the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 and Intel Arc G3. The record for the AMD part includes a full suite of scores, while the Intel Arc G3 entry has no recorded benchmark results. This means every comparison below relies on the AMD processor's measured performance and the Intel part's architectural specifications, not on side-by-side test runs.

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 delivers strong multi-threaded results. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, it scores 21,812 points, and in Cinebench R15 multi-core it hits 3,334. Geekbench multi-core adds 13,957. Single-core performance is equally solid: Cinebench R23 single-core reaches 1,988, Cinebench R15 single-core scores 301, and Geekbench single-core lands at 2,084. PassMark single-thread results confirm this with 3,867 points.

The AMD part's average benchmark score is 46,030, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 with an average score of 46,062 (a delta of -0.1%), the AMD EPYC 4364P at 45,970 (+0.1%), the Intel Core i9-13900HX at 46,098 (-0.1%), and the AMD EPYC 7303 at 45,960 (+0.2%). These deltas are tiny, meaning the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 sits in a tightly packed performance band where a fraction of a percent separates it from competitors.

The Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark scores in the database, so its average score is recorded as 0 and its percentile is 50. Direct numerical comparison is therefore impossible. The only measurable data points for the Intel part are its clock speeds, core counts, cache sizes, memory bandwidth, and process node. Those specifications can be analyzed qualitatively, but any statement about its performance relative to the AMD part must remain speculative.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 uses the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Strix Point and belongs to the Ryzen AI 300 generation, which combines Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with a die size of 233 mm². The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename and belongs to the Arc G3 generation, built on a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The AMD part uses an AMD Socket FP8, while the Intel part uses Intel BGA 2540.

Core configuration differs significantly. The AMD processor has 12 cores and 24 threads, indicating simultaneous multithreading. The Intel processor has 14 cores but only 14 threads, meaning it lacks hyperthreading or equivalent technology. This is a fundamental architectural split: AMD pairs more threads per core, while Intel offers more physical cores without extra threads.

Cache layouts also diverge. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The Intel part has 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The Intel cache is larger per core at the L1 and L2 levels, and its L3 pool is 2 MB larger overall, but the AMD design distributes cache across fewer cores.

Memory support differs. Both use dual-channel memory, but the AMD part supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel part supports only LPDDR5X but with a higher bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. The Intel part also uses PCIe Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only), while the AMD part uses PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). This is a notable trade-off: Intel offers a newer PCIe generation but far fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD part pairs with a Radeon 890M, while the Intel part uses an Arc B370. Both are integrated solutions, but the database does not include any graphics benchmark scores for either.

Clock speeds show the AMD part at a 2.00 GHz base and 5.10 GHz boost, while the Intel part runs at 1.90 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost. TDP also differs: the AMD part has a 28 W rating, the Intel part 25 W. Both are unlocked multipliers, and both target the mobile market segment. Production status is active for both, with release dates of 2024-06-30 for AMD and 2026-05-27 for Intel.

The Verdict

The data presents an incomplete comparison. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 has extensive benchmark coverage and sits at the 89th percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 46,030. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of its score, placing it in a highly competitive band. The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm its performance level. Its percentile is listed as 50, but that value appears to be a default placeholder rather than a measured result.

From a pure specification standpoint, the Intel part offers more physical cores, a larger cache per core, higher memory bandwidth, a smaller process node, and a newer PCIe generation. The AMD part offers more threads, higher clock speeds, a higher TDP, a larger die, and more PCIe lanes. These are architectural trade-offs with no measured performance data to resolve which advantage matters more in practice.

The AMD part's benchmark results speak for themselves. Cinebench R23 multi-core at 21,812 and Geekbench multi-core at 13,957 indicate strong multi-threaded capability. PassMark integer math at 121,754 and floating-point math at 75,153 reinforce this. Single-thread scores, including Cinebench R23 at 1,988 and PassMark single-thread at 3,867, show competitive per-core performance. Without any Intel Arc G3 scores, no verdict can be rendered on relative performance.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 wins in every category where measured data exists. It has benchmark scores, a percentile ranking, and a positive average score. Its strengths in the recorded data include multi-threaded workloads, as shown by Cinebench R23 multi-core at 21,812 and PassMark multithread at 32,916. It also shows strong single-thread results, with Geekbench single-core at 2,084 and PassMark single-thread at 3,867. Its data compression score of 404,918 and random string sorting at 44,552 indicate solid integer throughput. Data encryption at 20,802 and extended instructions at 29,269 round out the picture.

The Intel Arc G3 wins in specification comparisons where the database records an advantage. It offers 14 cores versus 12, more L1 and L2 cache per core, larger shared L3, higher memory bandwidth at 136.5 GB/s, a 3 nm process node versus 4 nm, and PCIe Gen 5 support. It also has a lower TDP at 25 W versus 28 W, which may indicate better power efficiency on paper. Its integrated graphics is the Arc B370, a different part from the Radeon 890M in the AMD processor.

For use cases, the AMD part is the only one with performance data. Any workload requiring measured multi-threading, single-threading, or math throughput would rely on the AMD processor's verified results. The Intel part's specifications suggest advantages in memory-heavy tasks due to higher bandwidth, and in cache-sensitive workloads due to larger per-core caches, but those are inferences from specifications, not confirmed by benchmark scores. The database cannot assign a use-case win to the Intel part without measurements.
