AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX vs Intel Arc G3 Comparison

The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX and the Intel Arc G3 occupy entirely different segments of the processor market, yet a direct comparison of their recorded specifications and benchmark results reveals the scale of their divergence. The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop processor built for heavy compute workloads, while the Intel Arc G3 is a 14-core, 14-thread mobile chip with integrated graphics. The database contains no head-to-head benchmark scores for these two parts, and the Arc G3 has no recorded benchmark results at all. The analysis below therefore relies on the measured data for the Ryzen part, its position among all CPUs, and the architectural and specification differences listed in the database.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database shows no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX and the Intel Arc G3. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the wins count for both processors is zero. This absence of direct comparison data means the evaluation must be drawn from the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX’s own benchmark scores and its percentile ranking, alongside the Arc G3’s lack of any recorded benchmark scores.

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX holds a 97th percentile position among all CPUs, indicating that it outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. Its average benchmark score is 101041. The nearest rivals in the database provide context for this figure. The AMD EPYC 7513 has an average score of 102244, which is 1.2% higher. The AMD EPYC 8324P averages 103329, a 2.2% advantage. Conversely, the AMD EPYC 4585PX scores 99324, which is 1.7% lower, and the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5965WX scores 98504, a 2.6% deficit. These deltas show that the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX sits in a tight cluster of high-end server and workstation parts, with performance differences of only a few percent in either direction.

Within its own benchmark suite, the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX shows strong multi-core and single-core results. In Cinebench R23, it scores 59494 in multi-core and 8399 in single-core. The Cinebench R20 results are 24987 and 3527 respectively, while Cinebench R15 yields 5996 and 846. These numbers indicate a processor that scales well across rendering workloads, with multi-core scores roughly seven times the single-core figures in each Cinebench version.

PassMark results cover a broader range of tasks. The multithread score is 67035, and the single-thread score is 4530. Integer math scores 236120, floating point math scores 156215, and extended instructions score 76363. Data compression reaches 920954, while data encryption scores 44389. Find prime numbers returns 337, and random string sorting scores 99813. Physics scores 4156. The single-thread score appears twice in the database, once as passmark_single_thread and once as passmark_singlethread, both at 4530, confirming consistency in the measurement.

The Intel Arc G3 has no benchmark scores in the database. Its percentile ranking is 50, which reflects the median position assigned to parts without measured results, but this is not a validated performance figure. The average benchmark score is recorded as 0, indicating that no tests have been run or logged for this processor. Any claims about its performance would lack factual grounding in the available data.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX wins in every measurable category, simply because it has recorded data and the Intel Arc G3 does not. For compute-intensive tasks such as Cinebench rendering, the Ryzen part’s multi-core scores of 59494 in R23, 24987 in R20, and 5996 in R15 position it as a capable performer for workloads that leverage many threads. Its 32 threads and 16 cores allow parallel processing across rendering, compilation, and simulation tasks. The single-core scores of 8399 in R23, 3527 in R20, and 846 in R15 indicate that even lightly threaded workloads receive strong performance per core.

PassMark results further define the Ryzen part’s strengths. The data compression score of 920954 and integer math score of 236120 suggest efficient handling of arithmetic and data manipulation. Floating point math at 156215 and extended instructions at 76363 point toward scientific and multimedia workloads. Encryption at 44389 and random string sorting at 99813 round out a profile suited to server and workstation duties. Physics at 4156 and find prime numbers at 337 are lower absolute scores but still represent measured performance in those specific tests.

The Intel Arc G3, by contrast, has no wins anywhere in the database. Its market segment is mobile, and its integrated graphics are listed as Arc B370, which suggests it is intended for portable devices where the CPU and GPU share the package. The lack of benchmark data means the database cannot confirm its performance in any workload. The processor’s architecture is listed as null, and its generation is given as Arc G3 with the Panther Lake codename, but without test scores, any comparison of wins remains speculative.

The use-case split is therefore one-sided. The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX is a desktop part with a 350 TDP, eight-channel memory support, and 128 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, all of which point to high-end workstations and servers. The Intel Arc G3 is a mobile part with a 25 TDP, dual-channel LPDDR5X memory, and 4 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, indicating a focus on power efficiency and portability. The database records no overlap in their intended usage scenarios.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in architecture, process node, and physical design. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX uses the Zen 5 architecture with the codename Shimada Peak. Its generation is listed as Ryzen Threadripper with a note referencing Zen 4 (Storm Peak) in parentheses, which suggests the database categorizes it within the Threadripper lineage while the core architecture is Zen 5. The process node is 4 nm, fabricated by TSMC. The transistor count is 16,630 million, and the die size is 2x 70.6 mm², indicating a chiplet-based design with two compute dies.

The Intel Arc G3 uses the Panther Lake codename and belongs to the Arc G3 generation. Its architecture field is null in the database, meaning no specific microarchitecture name is recorded. The process node is 3 nm, fabricated by Intel’s own foundry. No transistor count or die size data is available for this part. The manufacturing process is smaller than the AMD part, but the database does not provide transistor density or die dimensions to assess the implications.

Cache hierarchies also differ substantially. The Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 64 MB of L3 cache. This yields a total L3 of 64 MB across the 16 cores. The Intel Arc G3 has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The per-core L1 and L2 figures are larger on the Intel side, but the shared L3 is much smaller at 18 MB compared to 64 MB. No 3D V-Cache is present on either part.

Memory architecture diverges as well. The AMD processor supports DDR5 with an eight-channel memory bus and a memory bandwidth of 409.6 GB/s. The Intel processor supports LPDDR5X with a dual-channel memory bus and a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the AMD part but not on the Intel part. The PCIe configuration shows 128 Gen 5 lanes for the CPU on the AMD side versus 4 Gen 5 lanes on the Intel side, a 32-fold difference in available CPU-attached lanes.

The integrated graphics differ completely. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9955WX has no integrated graphics, listed as N/A, while the Intel Arc G3 includes Arc B370 integrated graphics. This aligns with their market segments: the AMD part expects a discrete GPU in a workstation chassis, while the Intel part is designed for mobile systems where integrated graphics are necessary.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ across nearly every specification field. The core counts are 16 for the AMD processor versus 14 for the Intel processor. Threads are 32 versus 14, meaning the AMD part supports simultaneous multithreading while the Intel part does not. Base clocks are 4.50 GHz for AMD and 1.90 GHz for Intel. Boost clocks are 5.40 GHz for AMD and 4.60 GHz for Intel. The TDP is 350 watts for AMD and 25 watts for Intel, a 14-fold difference in thermal design power.

Sockets are incompatible: AMD uses Socket sTR5, while Intel uses BGA 2540, a soldered mobile package. The process nodes are 4 nm for AMD and 3 nm for Intel, with different foundries, TSMC and Intel respectively. Cache totals: the AMD part has 64 MB of L3, while the Intel part has 18 MB. Memory support shows DDR5 versus LPDDR5X, eight-channel versus dual-channel, and 409.6 GB/s versus 136.5 GB/s bandwidth. ECC is present only on AMD.

PCIe lanes are 128 versus 4, both Gen 5. Integrated graphics exist only on Intel. Market segments are Desktop versus Mobile. Release dates are 2025-07-22 for AMD and 2026-05-27 for Intel. The AMD part has a launch MSRP of $1649, while the Intel part has no launch MSRP recorded. The multiplier is unlocked on AMD and locked on Intel. Part numbers are 100-000000725 for AMD and SA4QZ for Intel. The production status is Active for both.

The specifications that do not differ are minimal. Both use Gen 5 PCIe, both are in active production, and both have no 3D V-Cache. Beyond those points, every other field shows a clear separation between a high-end desktop workstation processor and a low-power mobile chip.
