AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D vs Intel Core i3-14100T Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Intel Core i3-14100T is the only processor in this comparison with recorded benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has no benchmark entries in the database, so all head-to-head comparisons rely on the Intel part's measured results and its position relative to other processors. The Core i3-14100T delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11612 and a single-core score of 1639. In Cinebench R20, it scores 4877 multi-core and 688 single-core. The older Cinebench R15 run shows 1170 multi-core and 165 single-core. These scores indicate a processor that handles threaded workloads with reasonable efficiency for its class.

The PassMark suite provides additional detail. The Core i3-14100T records a multi-thread score of 13662 and a single-thread score of 3498. Integer math reaches 40292, while floating-point math hits 31379. Data compression scores 152636, and data encryption reaches 7881. Extended instructions score 10414, and random string sorting records 15579. Prime number finding is the weakest result at 56, and physics processing scores 973.

The database places the Core i3-14100T at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 17648. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-13100F with an average score of 17653 and a delta of 0%, the Intel Core i7-1255U at 17656 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE at 17614 with a delta of 0.2%, and the AMD EPYC 9374F at 17693 with a delta of -0.3%. These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, meaning the Core i3-14100T performs essentially on par with those four processors. The AMD EPYC 9374F holds a 0.3% advantage, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE trails by 0.2%, and the Intel parts are effectively identical.

Because the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has no benchmark data, the database cannot confirm any performance advantage for it. The head-to-head benchmark comparison is therefore one-sided by necessity. The Intel Core i3-14100T is the only part with measured results, and those results define its competitive position against the rival processors listed above.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D belongs to the 9000 series and uses the Granite Ridge codename with Zen 5 architecture. It is built on TSMC's 4 nm process node. The Intel Core i3-14100T belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is based on Raptor Lake architecture. Intel fabricates it on a 10 nm process node. The manufacturing difference is substantial: AMD uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses a 10 nm process. AMD also reports a transistor count of 16,630 million for the Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D, while Intel does not list a transistor count for the Core i3-14100T. Die size differs as well: the AMD processor uses two dies at 70.6 mm² each, while the Intel processor uses a single die at 163 mm².

Core and thread counts differ sharply. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has 16 cores and 32 threads. The Intel Core i3-14100T has 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock speeds also diverge. The AMD part has a base clock of 4.30 GHz and a boost clock of 5.70 GHz. The Intel part has a base clock of 2.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. Thermal design power is another major split: the AMD processor is rated at 170 W, while the Intel processor is rated at 35 W.

Cache configurations are different in size and organization. Both processors use 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The AMD part uses 1 MB of L2 cache per core, while the Intel part uses 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core. The L3 cache is the largest difference: the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D has 128 MB of L3 cache, while the Intel Core i3-14100T has 12 MB of shared L3 cache. That is a 10x difference in L3 capacity.

Memory support also separates the two. The AMD processor supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory with dual-channel access, but the database lists no memory bandwidth figure for it. Both processors support ECC memory.

PCIe connectivity differs. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D provides Gen 5 with 24 lanes from the CPU. The Intel Core i3-14100T provides Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Integrated graphics differ as well: the AMD part uses Radeon Graphics, while the Intel part uses UHD Graphics 730.

Socket and platform requirements are not interchangeable. The AMD processor uses AMD Socket AM5, while the Intel processor uses Intel Socket 1700. The AMD part has an unlocked multiplier, and its part number is 100-000000719E. The Intel part has a locked multiplier and part number SRMX0. The AMD processor has a release date of 2025-10-06, while the Intel processor has a release date of 2024-01-07. Both are listed as Active in production status.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on workload requirements. The AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D offers 16 cores, 32 threads, a 5.70 GHz boost clock, 128 MB of L3 cache, and 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth. These specifications point toward heavy multi-threaded and cache-sensitive workloads. The Intel Core i3-14100T offers 4 cores, 8 threads, a 4.40 GHz boost clock, 12 MB of L3 cache, and a 35 W TDP. Its measured Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11612 and single-core score of 1639 show a capable processor, but the core and cache disparity is enormous.

The percentile data favors the Intel part in terms of recorded standing: the Core i3-14100T sits at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. The AMD part has no percentile ranking because it has no benchmark scores. However, the absence of data does not diminish the architectural lead in core count, cache capacity, and memory bandwidth. The AMD processor uses a 4 nm process, dual 70.6 mm² dies, and 16,630 million transistors. The Intel processor uses a 10 nm process and a single 163 mm² die.

The verdict from the database is straightforward. For users who need measured benchmark results today, the Intel Core i3-14100T is the documented performer. For users who need maximum core count, cache, and memory bandwidth from the specification sheet, the AMD Ryzen Embedded 9950X3D is the clear choice. The 128 MB of L3 cache and 16-core configuration place it in a different performance class, even without recorded scores.
