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

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark measurements for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X. The benchmark array for that processor is empty, meaning no Cinebench, Geekbench, or Passmark scores are available for comparison. The Intel Core i3-14100F, by contrast, has a full suite of 19 recorded benchmark scores. This asymmetry limits direct numerical comparison, so the analysis must rely on the i3-14100F's measured results and the architectural parameters of the Ryzen Embedded 9700X.

For the Intel Core i3-14100F, the data shows strong multi-threaded performance relative to its four physical cores. Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 13084 points, while single-core scores 1847. The Geekbench results show 7598 multi-core and 2105 single-core. Passmark multi-thread yields 15420, with single-thread at 3778. These figures place the i3-14100F at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 18519.

The nearest rivals for the i3-14100F provide context. The Intel Core i5-13420H scores 18511, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300GE scores 18505, a delta of 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i3-13100 scores 18380, a delta of 0.8 percent, and the Intel Core 7 360 scores 18374, also a delta of 0.8 percent. These margins are small, indicating the i3-14100F sits in a tightly packed performance cluster.

The Ryzen Embedded 9700X has no recorded benchmarks, so its wins cannot be quantified. The database shows zero wins for either processor in head-to-head tests. What the data does indicate is the Ryzen's architectural headroom: eight cores and sixteen threads versus four cores and eight threads for the i3. The Ryzen's boost clock reaches 5.50 GHz versus 4.70 GHz for the Intel part. These parameters suggest the Ryzen would outperform in multi-core workloads, but no measured scores confirm this.

The i3-14100F's Passmark sub-tests show specific strengths. Integer math scores 45357, floating point math scores 35370, and extended instructions score 11984. Data compression scores 176106, data encryption scores 8922, and random string sorting scores 17596. Find prime numbers scores 61, and physics scores 1077. These figures provide a granular view of the i3's compute capabilities across different instruction types.

Without Ryzen benchmarks, the head-to-head section cannot report exact deltas. The available data points to the i3-14100F as a measured performer, while the Ryzen Embedded 9700X remains unquantified in this database. The percentile ranking of 50 for the Ryzen versus 72 for the i3 suggests the Intel part sits higher in the overall distribution, but this ranking may reflect the absence of Ryzen scores rather than true performance.

The Verdict

The data supports different choices depending on workload priorities. The Intel Core i3-14100F is the only processor with measured benchmark scores, showing solid multi-threaded performance at 13084 in Cinebench R23 and 15420 in Passmark multi-thread. Its 72nd percentile ranking and average score of 18519 place it among capable desktop CPUs.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X offers specifications that suggest higher multi-core potential: double the cores and threads, a 5.50 GHz boost clock, and a 32 MB shared L3 cache. However, the database has no recorded scores for this processor, so these advantages remain theoretical rather than measured.

The i3-14100F's nearest rivals show it performs within 0.8 percent of four other processors, including the i5-13420H and i3-13100. This clustering indicates the i3 is a consistent mid-range performer. Users seeking a processor with confirmed benchmark results should consider the i3-14100F. Users prioritizing core count and cache capacity, based on the architecture data, would look to the Ryzen Embedded 9700X, but without measurement data to validate its performance.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ across nearly every specification field. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X uses 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Core i3-14100F uses 4 cores and 8 threads. Base clocks are 3.80 GHz for the Ryzen and 3.50 GHz for the i3. Boost clocks are 5.50 GHz and 4.70 GHz respectively.

Thermal design power differs: the Ryzen is rated at 65 watts, the i3 at 58 watts. Sockets are incompatible: the Ryzen uses AMD Socket AM5, the i3 uses Intel Socket 1700. The process node shows a manufacturing gap: the Ryzen is built on a 4 nm process by TSMC, while the i3 uses a 10 nm process from Intel. Die size also differs: the Ryzen measures 70.6 mm², the i3 measures 163 mm². The Ryzen's transistor count is listed at 8,315 million; the i3's transistor count is not recorded.

Cache configurations diverge. Both have 80 KB L1 per core. L2 cache is 1 MB per core for the Ryzen and 1.25 MB per core for the i3. L3 cache is 32 MB shared for the Ryzen versus 12 MB shared for the i3. Memory support differs: the Ryzen supports DDR5 only, while the i3 supports DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded only for the Ryzen at 89.6 GB/s; the i3's bandwidth is not listed. Both support ECC memory.

PCIe lanes differ: the Ryzen provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes, the i3 provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes. Integrated graphics are present on the Ryzen as Radeon Graphics, while the i3 has none. The Ryzen has an unlocked multiplier; the i3 is locked. Release dates differ: the Ryzen launched on 2025-10-06, the i3 on 2024-01-07. The i3 has a recorded launch MSRP of $109; the Ryzen has no launch MSRP. Part numbers are 100-000001404E for the Ryzen and SRMX2 for the i3.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9700X belongs to the 9000 series with the Granite Ridge codename, using the Zen 5 (Granite Ridge) architecture. The Intel Core i3-14100F is part of the Core 14th Gen series with Raptor Lake architecture, specifically Raptor Lake Refresh. The Ryzen's generation is listed as "Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5 (Granite Ridge))", while the i3's generation is "Core i3 (Raptor Lake Refresh)".

Manufacturing differs fundamentally. The Ryzen uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, with a die size of 70.6 mm² and 8,315 million transistors. The i3 uses a 10 nm process from Intel, with a die size of 163 mm² and no transistor count recorded. The Ryzen's smaller die and newer process node suggest higher transistor density, though the i3's larger die accommodates its design.

Core architecture diverges in cache hierarchy. The Ryzen uses 1 MB L2 per core, while the i3 uses 1.25 MB per core. The Ryzen's L3 cache is 32 MB shared, more than 2.6 times the i3's 12 MB shared cache. This larger L3 could benefit workloads with repeated data access patterns, though no benchmark data confirms this.

Memory architecture shows the Ryzen restricted to DDR5, while the i3 supports both DDR4 and DDR5. The Ryzen's memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s; the i3's is not recorded. Both support ECC memory, which is notable for embedded and workstation use cases.

PCIe capabilities differ in lane count: the Ryzen offers 24 lanes versus 16 lanes for the i3, both at Gen 5 speed. The Ryzen includes integrated Radeon Graphics, while the i3 has no integrated graphics, requiring a discrete GPU. The Ryzen's unlocked multiplier allows overclocking, while the i3's locked multiplier does not.

The market segment is listed as Desktop for both processors. Production status is Active for both. The Ryzen's part number 100-000001404E and the i3's SRMX2 identify each unit. The architecture differences point to the Ryzen as a newer, denser design with more cores, more cache, and more PCIe lanes, while the i3 represents a more established, smaller-core-count design with broader memory compatibility.
