AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 vs Intel Arc G3

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 and the Intel Arc G3. The Intel Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database, with an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile rank of 50. This means the Arc G3 cannot be directly compared to the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 on any specific workload, as there is no measured data for the Intel part.

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395, by contrast, has a full suite of benchmark results. It achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35061 and a single-core score of 2012.5. In Cinebench R15, it scores 5247 multicore and 306 single-core. PassMark results include a multithread score of 51502, a single-thread score of 4078, integer math at 190720, floating point math at 120533, and extended instructions at 52067. Data compression scores 639356, data encryption scores 32840, and random string sorting scores 70150. The find prime numbers test yields 284, and the physics test yields 3189.

The Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 holds an average benchmark score of 80762, placing it at the 95th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 638 with an average score of 80723 and a delta of 0 percent, the Intel Xeon w5-2565X at 80671 with a delta of 0.1 percent, the AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX at 81103 with a delta of -0.4 percent, and the Intel Xeon w5-3535X at 81115 with a delta of -0.4 percent. This places the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 effectively at parity with these server and high-end workstation parts, within a range of roughly 0.1 percent above one rival and 0.4 percent below two others.

Because the Intel Arc G3 has no recorded scores, no direct wins can be assigned to either processor. The data indicates that the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is a measured, high-performing part, while the Arc G3 remains unmeasured in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ substantially at the architectural level. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 uses a Zen 5 architecture under the Strix Halo codename, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It has 16 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The Intel Arc G3 uses a Panther Lake codename with an Arc G3 generation label, built on a 3 nm process at Intel. It has 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel part does not list an architecture name in the database, only the generation and codename.

Cache configurations differ significantly. The AMD part provides 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel part provides 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The AMD processor has substantially more shared L3 cache, which can benefit workloads that repeatedly access a large working set. The Intel processor has larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations, which can favor latency-sensitive single-threaded tasks.

Memory support differs as well. Both parts support LPDDR5X memory, but the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 uses a quad-channel memory bus with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the Intel Arc G3 uses a dual-channel bus with 136.5 GB/s. The AMD part also supports ECC memory, while the Intel part does not. PCIe connectivity differs: the AMD part offers Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part offers Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part uses a newer PCIe generation but with far fewer lanes.

Integrated graphics differ. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 includes a Radeon 8060S, while the Intel Arc G3 includes an Arc B370. The AMD part has a TDP of 55, while the Intel part has a TDP of 25. The AMD processor uses the AMD Socket FP11, while the Intel processor uses the Intel BGA 2540 socket. Neither part has an unlocked multiplier.

Release dates differ considerably. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 was released on 2025-01-05, while the Intel Arc G3 is dated 2026-05-27. Both are listed as Active in production status and target the mobile market segment.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is the only one of the two with measured benchmark data. Its 16 cores and 32 threads, combined with 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, position it for heavily threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35061 and PassMark multithread score of 51502 support this. The 95th percentile ranking among all CPUs in the database indicates that it sits near the top of the measured field, with nearest rivals being Xeon and Ryzen 9 class processors. The data shows it is competitive with server-class silicon in average benchmark score.

The Intel Arc G3 has no measured scores, so the database cannot confirm any workload where it wins. Its architectural specifications suggest certain characteristics: 14 cores with 14 threads means no simultaneous multithreading, which limits its ability to extract extra work from each core. Its 3 nm process at Intel gives it a smaller process node than the AMD part's 4 nm TSMC process. The larger L1 and L2 cache per core on the Intel part could support latency-sensitive single-threaded work, but there is no recorded data to verify this. The 25 TDP figure indicates a lower power envelope than the AMD part's 55 TDP, which may matter in constrained chassis, but the database records no thermal or efficiency benchmarks to confirm real-world behavior.

The AMD part's ECC memory support and quad-channel memory bus make it suitable for memory-intensive and reliability-sensitive workloads. The Intel part's Gen 5 PCIe with 4 lanes offers newer signaling but fewer total lanes. The AMD part's Gen 4 with 16 lanes provides more expansion capacity. The Intel Arc G3's integrated Arc B370 graphics and the AMD part's Radeon 8060S are both recorded, but no graphics benchmarks exist for either in the database.

The Verdict

The data supports the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 as a measured, high-performing mobile processor. Its 95th percentile ranking, average benchmark score of 80762, and proximity to Xeon-class rivals in the database indicate strong multi-threaded capability. The 16-core, 32-thread configuration, 64 MB of L3 cache, and 256.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth provide a solid foundation for heavy compute workloads. ECC memory support and 16 PCIe Gen 4 lanes add flexibility for professional and server-like use cases in a mobile package.

The Intel Arc G3 cannot be assessed on performance from the recorded data. It has no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a 50th percentile rank. Its specifications show a lower TDP of 25, a smaller 3 nm process node at Intel, and larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, but without measured results these remain untested characteristics. The lack of simultaneous multithreading and the smaller 18 MB L3 cache suggest it may not match the AMD part in heavily threaded workloads, but the database contains no scores to confirm or refute this.

The choice rests on what the data can prove. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395 is a verified performer with a full benchmark record. The Intel Arc G3 is an unmeasured part with no recorded performance data. Users who require measured multi-threaded performance and ECC memory support should look to the AMD processor. Users who prioritize the lower 25 TDP envelope or the 3 nm process node would be making a decision based on specifications alone, as the database provides no performance evidence for the Intel Arc G3.
