AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 vs Intel Core i3-9100TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a consistent and decisive advantage for the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 across every Cinebench workload. In the Cinebench R15 multicore test, the AMD part scores 493 against 393 for the Intel Core i3-9100TE, a 25.4% lead. The single-core R15 result follows the same pattern: 69 for the AMD versus 55 for the Intel, a 25.5% margin. These are not isolated results; the R20 and R23 suites reinforce the trend almost exactly. In Cinebench R20 multicore, the AMD scores 2055 versus 1638, a 25.5% advantage, and in the single-core variant it posts 289 against 231, a 25.1% lead. The R23 multicore result is 4893 for the AMD against 3900 for the Intel, again 25.5% ahead, while the single-core R23 score of 690 versus 550 matches that same 25.5% delta. Across all six head-to-head benchmarks, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 wins every round. The Intel part has no recorded victory in any of these tests.

The consistency of the deltas is worth noting. Every Cinebench generation, from R15 through R23, shows a margin between 25.1% and 25.5% in favor of the AMD processor. This uniformity suggests the performance gap is structural rather than workload-specific, a point reinforced by the fact that the margins barely move whether the test is single-threaded or fully multithreaded. The Intel Core i3-9100TE does appear in the database with Geekbench scores, 3214 multicore and 1105 single-core, but the AMD part has no recorded Geekbench results, so no direct comparison can be drawn from that suite. The available Cinebench data, however, is unambiguous.

Looking at the broader database context, the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 sits at the 37th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1415. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 2700U at an identical 1415 average score (0% delta), the Intel Core i5-4460 also at 1415 (0% delta), the Intel Core i7-3840QM at 1416 (-0.1%), and the Intel Core i7-2700K at 1419 (-0.3%). The Intel Core i3-9100TE also sits at the 37th percentile, with an average score of 1386. Its nearest rivals are a different set entirely: the AMD Opteron 6274 at 1387 (-0.1%), the AMD Opteron 6238 at 1383 (0.3%), the Intel Core i7-3615QE at 1381 (0.4%), and the AMD Opteron 6366 HE at 1379 (0.5%). Although both CPUs share the same percentile ranking, the AMD part holds a 29-point average score advantage over the Intel part, approximately 2.1% higher in the aggregate.

This head-to-head data paints a clear picture. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 outperforms the Intel Core i3-9100TE by roughly a quarter in every Cinebench metric recorded. The Intel part is not competitive in these tests, and the gap is large enough that it would be visible in nearly any rendering or content creation workload that relies on such benchmarks.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 is the stronger processor for anyone prioritizing raw compute performance in Cinebench workloads. Across six recorded benchmarks, it wins all six, with margins ranging from 25.1% to 25.5%. The Intel Core i3-9100TE trails by a quarter or more in both single-core and multicore tests. For users selecting a CPU for rendering tasks, video encoding, or other workloads that scale with CPU throughput, the AMD part is the clear choice based on the recorded measurements. Its average benchmark score of 1415 also places it above the Intel average of 1386, reinforcing the head-to-head results with an aggregate 29-point lead.

The Intel Core i3-9100TE, despite its lower scores, does have a launch MSRP of $122, which may be noted as a market positioning detail. The AMD part has no recorded launch MSRP in the database. Both processors feature 4 cores and 4 threads, and both support ECC memory and PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The AMD processor is still listed as Active in production, while the Intel is End-of-life. For new designs or upgrades, the database would favor the AMD part not only on performance but also on availability status. The Intel part may still be relevant for existing Socket 1151 platforms or where the specific integrated graphics solution (UHD Graphics 630) is required, but the benchmark evidence does not support choosing it on performance grounds.

A system builder constrained to the Intel platform might consider the Core i3-9100TE for its lower 2.20 GHz base clock and 3.20 GHz boost, but those figures do not translate to competitive scores. The AMD part boosts to 3.50 GHz and delivers 25% higher Cinebench results. The verdict from the data is straightforward: the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 dominates in every measured workload, and the Intel Core i3-9100TE is not a performance alternative in these tests.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different architectural lineages. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 uses the Zen+ architecture, specifically the Picasso codename, built on a 12 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It integrates 4,940 million transistors on a 210 mm² die. The Intel Core i3-9100TE uses the Coffee Lake architecture, specifically Coffee Lake Refresh, built on a 14 nm process at Intel, with a die size of 126 mm². The transistor count for the Intel part is not recorded in the database.

Cache hierarchies differ notably. The AMD processor allocates 96 KB of L1 cache per core and 512 KB of L2 cache per core, with 4 MB of shared L3 cache. The Intel processor has 64 KB of L1 per core and 256 KB of L2 per core, but a larger 6 MB of shared L3 cache. This means the Intel part offers 50% more L3 cache, while the AMD part provides larger per-core L1 and L2 allocations. The AMD processor's smaller L3 is offset by its per-core cache advantages, which may contribute to its higher single-threaded scores. Neither processor has a 3D V-Cache option recorded.

The integrated graphics differ as well. The AMD Ryzen Embedded R2314 includes a Radeon Vega 6 iGPU, while the Intel Core i3-9100TE includes UHD Graphics 630. Both support DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, though the AMD part has a higher recorded memory bandwidth of 42.7 GB/s versus 38.4 GB/s for the Intel part. Both support ECC memory, a feature often relevant for embedded or server-class applications. The sockets are distinct: AMD Socket FP5 for the Ryzen Embedded, Intel Socket 1151 for the Core i3. The AMD processor belongs to the 2000 series with the Ryzen Embedded generation label, while the Intel part is a Core i3 from the Coffee Lake Refresh generation. The AMD part is marked as Desktop market segment, as is the Intel part. The AMD processor has a multiplier that is not unlocked, and neither processor offers overclocking headroom through unlocked multipliers.

The manufacturing choices are also reflected in the process nodes: 12 nm for AMD versus 14 nm for Intel. The AMD part is built by GlobalFoundries, while Intel fabricates its own silicon. The production status differs, with the AMD listed as Active and the Intel as End-of-life. The release dates are recorded as 2022-06-20 for the AMD and 2019-03-31 for the Intel, indicating the AMD is a later release. The part numbers are YE2314C4T4MFH for the AMD and SRGE0SRGQY for the Intel.

Specification Differences

The core and thread counts are identical: both have 4 cores and 4 threads. The base clock differs, with the AMD at 2.10 GHz and the Intel at 2.20 GHz, a small 0.10 GHz advantage for Intel. The boost clock favors AMD: 3.50 GHz versus 3.20 GHz, a 0.30 GHz advantage. The TDP is significantly different: the AMD is rated at 15 watts while the Intel is rated at 35 watts. The AMD processor delivers higher performance at less than half the thermal design power. The sockets differ, AMD Socket FP5 versus Intel Socket 1151. The process node differs, 12 nm versus 14 nm. The die size differs, 210 mm² versus 126 mm², with the AMD die being considerably larger despite the smaller process. The transistor count is only recorded for the AMD at 4,940 million.

Cache specifications differ as described: L1 per core is 96 KB for AMD versus 64 KB for Intel, L2 per core is 512 KB for AMD versus 256 KB for Intel, and L3 shared is 4 MB for AMD versus 6 MB for Intel. Memory bandwidth differs, 42.7 GB/s versus 38.4 GB/s. The integrated graphics differ, Radeon Vega 6 versus UHD Graphics 630. The production status differs, Active versus End-of-life. The release dates differ, 2022-06-20 versus 2019-03-31. The launch MSRP is only recorded for the Intel at $122. The AMD processor has no recorded launch MSRP. The market segment is Desktop for both, and both support ECC memory. Both use PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The AMD processor does not have a recorded Geekbench score, while the Intel has both Geekbench multicore (3214) and single-core (1105) scores recorded. Neither processor has an unlocked multiplier.
