AMD Ryzen 7 5705G vs Intel Arc G3 EXTREME Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits this comparison cleanly by market segment and workload type. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G is a desktop part with 8 cores and 16 threads, while the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME is a mobile part with 14 cores and 14 threads. The AMD processor ships with a 65 W TDP and targets the AM4 socket, whereas the Intel chip fits a BGA 2540 socket at just 25 W. These are not interchangeable products, but the benchmark database provides a direct performance comparison.

The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME holds a decisive advantage in every recorded benchmark category. Its average benchmark score of 36,699 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs in the database. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, by contrast, has no individual benchmark scores recorded and sits at the 50th percentile with an average benchmark score of zero. That percentile gap of 35 points indicates a fundamental difference in measured performance tiers.

The Intel part wins on raw throughput across Cinebench and Passmark workloads. In Cinebench R23 multi-core, the Intel chip scores 14,655 points. Its single-core result in the same test reaches 1,862 points. The Passmark suite reinforces the pattern: the Intel part records 30,659 in multithread, 4,293 in single-thread, 71,164 in integer math, and 86,929 in floating-point math. For data-heavy tasks, it produces 307,094 in compression and 23,881 in encryption.

The AMD part has no benchmark entries in the database, so its wins cannot be quantified from measured results. What the data does show is that the AMD processor offers an unlocked multiplier, which the Intel part lacks. That feature opens overclocking potential, but the database contains no scores to confirm what that potential delivers in practice. The AMD chip also uses 8 physical cores with 16 threads, which is a conventional symmetric multithreading layout, versus the Intel part's 14 cores and 14 threads, which implies no hyperthreading on the mobile chip.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design philosophies and process generations. The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G uses the Zen 3 architecture under the Cezanne codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME uses the Panther Lake codename with a 3 nm process at Intel's own foundry. The node difference is substantial: 7 nm versus 3 nm, which typically affects power efficiency and density, though the database does not provide transistor counts or die sizes for the Intel part. The AMD chip lists 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die; the Intel part leaves both fields empty.

Cache layouts differ significantly. The AMD processor provides 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3. The Intel part provides 192 KB of L1 per core, 2.5 MB of L2 per core, and 18 MB of shared L3. The Intel chip has more L1 and L2 per core and a larger shared L3 pool. Neither part uses 3D V-Cache.

Memory support also diverges. The AMD chip uses DDR4 with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel chip uses LPDDR5X with dual-channel access and a memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. That is a 2.67x bandwidth advantage for the Intel part, which directly feeds its higher measured scores in memory-sensitive workloads like compression and encryption.

PCIe connectivity differs as well. The AMD processor exposes Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU. The Intel part exposes Gen 5 with 4 lanes from the CPU. The Intel chip has a much newer PCIe standard but far fewer lanes, which is typical for a mobile BGA design. Integrated graphics also differ: the AMD chip includes Radeon Graphics with 512 shader processors, while the Intel chip includes Arc B390 graphics. The database does not provide graphics benchmark scores for either.

The Intel part is locked with multiplierUnlocked set to false, while the AMD part is unlocked. Both parts support non-ECC memory. The AMD chip targets the Desktop segment, and the Intel chip targets the Mobile segment. The AMD release date was 2025-02-23, and the Intel release date was 2026-05-27, meaning the Intel part is the newer product by roughly 15 months.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no head-to-head benchmark entries comparing the two processors directly. However, the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME has a full suite of 17 recorded benchmark scores, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5705G has none. The comparison therefore rests on the Intel part's measured results and the AMD part's absence from the benchmark set.

The Intel chip's nearest rivals in the database provide useful context for its performance tier. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36,938 on average, which is 0.6% higher than the Arc G3 EXTREME. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F scores 36,945, a 0.7% advantage. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37,018, a 0.9% advantage. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37,093, a 1.1% advantage. The Arc G3 EXTREME trails all four rivals by less than 1.2%, which places it in a tight performance cluster just below those chips.

On the Intel part's own scores, the Cinebench progression shows scaling across versions. R15 multi-core yields 2,192 points, R20 multi-core yields 10,945 points, and R23 multi-core yields 14,655 points. Single-core results scale similarly: R15 at 267, R20 at 1,545, and R23 at 1,862. The Passmark suite shows the same chip delivering 4293 in both passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread, confirming data consistency.

The Passmark integer math score of 71,164 and floating-point score of 86,929 indicate the Intel part handles floating-point workloads more strongly than integer tasks. Extended instructions score 24,017, and find prime numbers scores only 248, which is a low result relative to the other Passmark metrics. Physics scores 2,515, and random string sorting scores 37,331. The data compression score of 307,094 is the single highest recorded metric for this chip.

Because the AMD part has no scores, the database cannot show a single benchmark win for it. The winsA count is 0, and the winsB count is 0. The practical interpretation is that the Intel part is the only one of the two with measurable performance data, and that data places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation by use case. The Intel Arc G3 EXTREME is the only one of the two with measured performance in the database, and its 85th percentile standing indicates a strong mobile processor. Its 14 cores, 136.5 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 3 nm process node align with a modern, power-efficient mobile design at 25 W. The recorded Cinebench and Passmark scores confirm that it delivers competitive throughput against the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 and AMD Ryzen 5-class rivals, all within a 1.1% margin.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705G, with no benchmark scores in the database, cannot be validated on measured performance. What it offers instead is a desktop platform with an unlocked multiplier, 8 cores and 16 threads, a 65 W TDP, and DDR4 memory support. For a user building on AM4 with existing DDR4, the AMD part provides a known socket and overclocking headroom. The database simply does not contain numbers to rank its performance.

For workloads represented by the recorded benchmarks, the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME is the measured performer. Its best results are in data compression at 307,094 and multithread at 30,659. The AMD part has no comparable entries. The percentile gap, 85 versus 50, summarizes the situation: the Intel chip sits in the upper tier of all CPUs, while the AMD chip sits at the median without recorded scores. Anyone selecting between these two should base the decision on platform needs, not on benchmark comparisons, because only one side of this comparison has data in the database.
