AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X vs Intel Core i3-14100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X and the Intel Core i3-14100. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and no win counts are assigned to either processor. However, the Intel Core i3-14100 has a full suite of 19 benchmark scores in the database, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded benchmarks at all. This means all quantitative performance comparisons in this analysis derive exclusively from the Intel part's measured results and its position relative to other CPUs.

The Intel Core i3-14100 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,820 points and a single-core score of 1,809 points. In Geekbench, it records 7,231 multi-core and 2,133 single-core points. The PassMark suite shows a multithread score of 15,095, a single-thread score of 3,759, and an average benchmark score of 18,318. The processor sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, which places it above the majority of recorded desktop processors.

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i3-14100, based on average benchmark scores, are all Intel parts with very tight margins. The Intel Core 3 305 scores 18,302, a delta of 0.1% below the i3-14100. The Intel Core 5 330 scores 18,345, a delta of -0.1% (meaning the i3-14100 trails by one-tenth of a percent). The Intel Core 7 360 scores 18,374, a delta of -0.3%. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18,380, a delta of -0.3%. These deltas indicate that the i3-14100 sits in a dense cluster of competing Intel processors, with performance differences of under one-third of a percent across the entire group.

For the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X, the database lists no benchmark scores, no average score, and no nearest rivals. Its percentile versus all CPUs is recorded at 50, which is a neutral midpoint value, but without measured scores this percentile carries no comparative weight. The data cannot substantiate any claim of superiority or inferiority for the AMD part in any specific workload.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their underlying designs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X uses the Granite Ridge codename, belonging to the Ryzen Embedded generation built on Zen 5 architecture. It is manufactured on a 4 nm process node at TSMC, with a die size of 70.6 mm² and 8,315 million transistors. The Intel Core i3-14100 uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, belonging to the Core i3 generation built on Raptor Lake architecture. It is manufactured on a 10 nm process node at Intel, with a die size of 163 mm² and no transistor count recorded in the database.

The core and thread counts diverge sharply. The AMD part provides 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel part provides 4 cores and 8 threads. This gives the AMD processor twice the core count and twice the thread count of the Intel processor. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for the AMD part and 3.50 GHz for the Intel part. Boost clocks are 5.50 GHz for the AMD part and 4.70 GHz for the Intel part. The AMD processor carries a 65 W TDP, while the Intel processor carries a 60 W TDP.

Cache hierarchies also differ. Both parts have 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part has 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part has 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. For L3 cache, the AMD part has 32 MB shared, while the Intel part has 12 MB shared. The AMD part's larger L3 pool is consistent with its higher core count and server-adjacent positioning.

Memory support shows a clear generation gap. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X supports DDR5 memory only, running dual-channel with a recorded memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel Core i3-14100 supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, also dual-channel, but no memory bandwidth figure is recorded in the database. Both processors support ECC memory, which is notable for embedded and entry-level workstation use cases.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD part provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only). The Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The AMD processor has a 10-lane advantage in PCIe Gen 5 connectivity.

Integrated graphics differ between the two. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X includes Radeon Graphics, while the Intel Core i3-14100 includes UHD Graphics 730. Neither has dedicated benchmark scores in the database, so no graphics performance comparison is possible from the recorded data.

The AMD processor has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel processor does not. The AMD part's part number is 100-000001404E, and the Intel part's part number is SRMX1. Both processors are listed as Active in production status. The AMD part released on 2025-10-06, while the Intel part released on 2024-01-07. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

Where Each One Wins

Based solely on the recorded data, the Intel Core i3-14100 is the only processor in this comparison with measurable benchmark results. The database shows it performs strongly in single-threaded workloads, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,809 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2,133. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3,759 reinforces this pattern. The 72nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates that this processor outperforms roughly seven out of ten processors in the database on average.

In multi-threaded workloads, the Intel Core i3-14100 records a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,820 and a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 5,384. Its PassMark multithread score is 15,095. These scores position the i3-14100 as a capable entry-level multi-core performer, despite having only 4 cores and 8 threads. The nearest rival data shows it trading blows with the Intel Core 3 305, Intel Core 5 330, Intel Core 7 360, and Intel Core i3-13100, with deltas of 0.1%, -0.1%, -0.3%, and -0.3% respectively. This places the i3-14100 in the middle of a tight pack, slightly behind the Core 5 330, Core 7 360, and i3-13100, and slightly ahead of the Core 3 305.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded benchmark scores, so the database cannot confirm any workload where it wins. The architecture data suggests potential advantages: 8 cores versus 4, 16 threads versus 8, a higher boost clock of 5.50 GHz versus 4.70 GHz, a larger 32 MB L3 cache versus 12 MB, and a smaller 4 nm process node versus 10 nm. These specifications point toward likely multi-threaded and power-efficiency advantages, but without measured scores, these remain architectural inferences rather than confirmed results.

For the Intel part, the PassMark sub-tests provide a granular view. The data compression score is 174,115. Data encryption scores 8,838. Extended instructions score 11,865. Finding prime numbers scores 55. Floating point math scores 35,266. Integer math scores 45,329. Physics scores 958. Random string sorting scores 17,397. These figures show the Intel processor handling integer-heavy and floating-point workloads with moderate strength, while the prime number search score of 55 reflects the limits of its 4-core design.

The AMD part's absence from the benchmark database means the only definitive wins recorded belong to the Intel Core i3-14100, which has measurable results across all 19 benchmark entries. Any use-case analysis must therefore treat the AMD processor's capabilities as unverified in this database.
