AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D vs Intel Core i3-14100 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark results for the Intel Core i3-14100, while the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D entry has no benchmark scores listed. This means the direct head-to-head comparison is asymmetric. The data shows the Intel part's performance profile in detail, but the AMD part's scores are absent from the database, leaving its measured performance unquantified.

The Intel Core i3-14100 delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,820 and a single-core score of 1,809. In Cinebench R20, the multicore result is 5,384 and the single-core result is 759. The Cinebench R15 multicore score is 1,292, while the single-core score is 182. These figures indicate a processor with a strong balance between single-threaded responsiveness and modest multicore throughput.

Geekbench results show a multicore score of 7,231 and a single-core score of 2,133. PassMark tests further break down the workload performance. The multithread score is 15,095, and the single-thread score is 3,759 (recorded under both "passmark_single_thread" and "passmark_singlethread" as the same value). Integer math reaches 45,329, floating point math reaches 35,266, and extended instructions score 11,865. Data compression scores 174,115, data encryption scores 8,838, and random string sorting scores 17,397. Find prime numbers scores 55, and physics scores 958.

The absence of any benchmark entries for the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D means the head-to-head comparison cannot show wins in either direction. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, confirming no recorded benchmark victories for either part in this dataset. The AMD processor's percentileVsAllCpus is 50, while the Intel processor's percentileVsAllCpus is 72, indicating the Intel part sits higher in the overall performance distribution among all CPUs in the database. The Intel part's average benchmark score is 18,318, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core 3 305 with an average score of 18,302 (a delta of 0.1%), the Intel Core 5 330 with 18,345 (delta of -0.1%), the Intel Core 7 360 with 18,374 (delta of -0.3%), and the Intel Core i3-13100 with 18,380 (delta of -0.3%). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, placing the i3-14100 in a tightly contested performance band.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core i3-14100 wins in every category where benchmark data exists, simply because the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no recorded scores. The Intel part shows strength in single-threaded workloads, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,809 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3,759. These numbers indicate a processor that handles interactive tasks and lightly threaded applications with ease.

For multithreaded work, the i3-14100 delivers a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,820 and a PassMark multithread score of 15,095. The data compression score of 174,115 is particularly strong, suggesting efficient handling of compressed data streams. The floating point math score of 35,266 and integer math score of 45,329 show balanced arithmetic performance. The extended instructions score of 11,865 points to capable SIMD and vector processing.

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D, by contrast, has no recorded wins because no benchmark entries exist. The database shows its core count of 12 and thread count of 24, along with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz, but without measured scores, the performance cannot be assessed or compared. The winsB field for the Intel part is zero, and the winsA field for the AMD part is zero, so the dataset offers no head-to-head victory allocation.

Specification Differences

The two processors differ substantially in core and thread counts. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D uses 12 cores and 24 threads, while the Intel Core i3-14100 uses 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD part has a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, whereas the Intel part has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz.

Thermal design power differs sharply. The AMD part has a TDP of 120, while the Intel part has a TDP of 60. Socket compatibility is entirely different: the AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, while the Intel part does not.

Cache configurations diverge. The AMD part has a L1 cache of 80 KB per core, a L2 cache of 1 MB per core, and a L3 cache of 128 MB. The Intel part has a L1 cache of 80 KB per core, a L2 cache of 1.25 MB per core, and a L3 cache of 12 MB shared. Memory support also differs: the AMD part supports DDR5 only, while the Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5. Memory bandwidth is recorded for the AMD part at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no recorded bandwidth figure.

PCIe lane counts differ. The AMD part provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes (CPU only), while the Intel part provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only). Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, and the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730. The release dates differ, with the AMD part released on 2025-10-06 and the Intel part on 2024-01-07. The Intel part has a launch MSRP of $134, while the AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D belongs to the 9000 series and uses the Granite Ridge codename. Its generation is listed as Ryzen Embedded (Zen 5, Granite Ridge). The process node is 4 nm, and the foundry is TSMC. The transistor count is 16,630 million, and the die size is 2x 70.6 mm². The architecture field is null in the database, but the codename and generation indicate a Zen 5 design.

The Intel Core i3-14100 belongs to the Core 14th Gen series and uses the Raptor Lake-R codename. Its architecture is explicitly listed as Raptor Lake, and its generation is Core i3 (Raptor Lake Refresh). The process node is 10 nm, and the foundry is Intel. The transistor count is not recorded, but the die size is 163 mm².

The AMD part uses a dual-die design with two 70.6 mm² dies, while the Intel part uses a single 163 mm² die. The AMD part has a larger L3 cache at 128 MB versus 12 MB for the Intel part, which is a significant architectural difference. The AMD part also has a higher core count and thread count, and it supports ECC memory, as does the Intel part. Both parts support DDR5, but the AMD part is limited to DDR5 while the Intel part adds DDR4 support.

The AMD part's memory bandwidth is recorded at 89.6 GB/s, while the Intel part has no bandwidth figure. The process node difference (4 nm versus 10 nm) suggests the AMD part uses a more advanced manufacturing process. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, indicating overclocking capability, while the Intel part is locked. The part numbers differ: the AMD part is 100-000001368E, and the Intel part is SRMX1.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an incomplete picture. The Intel Core i3-14100 has a full set of benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 18,318, and a percentile ranking of 72. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9900X3D has no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and a percentile ranking of 50. Without measured scores for the AMD part, the database cannot substantiate any performance advantage for it.

For users relying on the database, the Intel Core i3-14100 is the only part with quantified performance. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% in average score, placing it in a competitive mid-range band. The AMD part's specifications suggest a higher-core-count design with a larger cache and more PCIe lanes, but the absence of benchmark data means those specifications do not translate into recorded performance.

The data supports the following: if the requirement is a processor with verified benchmark results, the Intel Core i3-14100 is the choice. If the requirement involves the AMD part's 12 cores, 24 threads, 128 MB L3 cache, or 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth, those specifications are present, but their practical performance remains unmeasured in this database. The verdict is straightforward: the Intel part has the data, the AMD part does not.
