Intel Arc G3 EXTREME vs Intel Core i5-14401TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database shows a substantial performance gap between the Intel Arc G3 EXTREME and the Intel Core i5-14401TE, though the comparison is one-sided due to a lack of recorded scores for the i5-14401TE. The Arc G3 EXTREME has a full suite of 17 benchmark results, while the i5-14401TE has no recorded scores in the database. This means the head-to-head analysis relies entirely on the Arc G3 EXTREME's absolute scores and its percentile ranking, rather than direct deltas.

The Arc G3 EXTREME achieves a multi-core score of 14,655 in Cinebench R23, a single-core score of 1,862 in the same test, and a Cinebench R20 multi-core score of 10,945. In PassMark tests, the Arc G3 EXTREME records a multi-thread score of 30,659, a single-thread score of 4,293, and a physics score of 2,515. The data compression score is 307,094, data encryption is 23,881, and extended instructions is 24,017. Integer math scores 71,164, floating point math scores 86,929, and find prime numbers scores 248. Random string sorting scores 37,331.

The Arc G3 EXTREME's average benchmark score is 36,699, placing it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with an average score of 36,938 and a delta of -0.6%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F at 36,945 with a -0.7% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37,018 with a -0.9% delta, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37,093 with a -1.1% delta. These deltas indicate the Arc G3 EXTREME trails each of these rivals by less than 1.1%, a narrow margin.

Because the i5-14401TE has no benchmark scores, the database cannot compute a delta between the two. The Arc G3 EXTREME's 85th percentile ranking, however, suggests its performance is competitive with the upper tier of desktop and mobile processors. The i5-14401TE's 50th percentile ranking, based on no recorded scores, is not directly comparable, but the percentile gap implies the Arc G3 EXTREME sits notably higher in the distribution.

Architecture Differences

The two processors differ fundamentally in their underlying designs. The Arc G3 EXTREME uses the Panther Lake codename and is built on a 3 nm process node, fabricated by Intel. It has 14 cores and 14 threads, with a base clock of 1.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its thermal design power (TDP) is 25 watts. The chip uses an Intel BGA 2540 socket and is classified as a mobile segment part. Its integrated graphics are the Arc B390.

The Core i5-14401TE, in contrast, belongs to the Core 14th Gen series, uses the Raptor Lake architecture with the Raptor Lake-R codename, and is fabricated on a 10 nm process node. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. Its TDP is 45 watts. The chip uses an Intel Socket 1700 and is a desktop segment part. Its integrated graphics are the UHD Graphics 730. The die size for the i5-14401TE is recorded as 215 mm², while no die size is listed for the Arc G3 EXTREME.

Cache hierarchies also diverge. The Arc G3 EXTREME has 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. The i5-14401TE has 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The Arc G3 EXTREME thus has larger per-core L1 and L2 caches, while the i5-14401TE has a larger shared L3 cache.

Memory support and PCIe capabilities differ as well. The Arc G3 EXTREME supports LPDDR5X memory with a dual-channel bus and a recorded memory bandwidth of 136.5 GB/s. It does not support ECC memory. Its PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 4 lanes (CPU only). The i5-14401TE supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, but its memory bandwidth is not recorded in the database. It does support ECC memory. Its PCIe interface is Gen 5 with 16 lanes (CPU only).

Release dates are also distinct. The Arc G3 EXTREME has a release date of May 27, 2026, while the i5-14401TE has a release date of June 30, 2024. Both parts are listed as Active in production status, and neither has an unlocked multiplier. The part numbers are SA4R3 for the Arc G3 EXTREME and Q4T4SRNJP for the i5-14401TE.

The Verdict

The data shows that the Arc G3 EXTREME is the only one of the two with recorded benchmark performance, and its 85th percentile ranking places it well above the i5-14401TE's 50th percentile in the database distribution. The Arc G3 EXTREME's average benchmark score of 36,699, combined with its narrow deltas to rivals such as the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (-0.6%) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600F (-0.7%), indicates that it competes in a higher performance tier.

The i5-14401TE, with no benchmark scores, cannot be assessed on measured performance. Its 50th percentile is not derived from recorded data, so it serves only as a placeholder in the ranking. The architectural differences, however, are clear: the Arc G3 EXTREME uses a newer 3 nm process, has more cores (14 vs. 6), a higher boost clock (4.70 GHz vs. 4.50 GHz), and a lower TDP (25 W vs. 45 W). The i5-14401TE counters with ECC memory support, a larger shared L3 cache (20 MB vs. 18 MB), and more PCIe lanes (16 vs. 4).

For workloads that benefit from multi-threading, the Arc G3 EXTREME's 14 cores and 14 threads, along with its recorded multi-core scores, suggest it would handle parallel tasks more effectively. For applications that require ECC memory or a desktop socket with 16 PCIe lanes, the i5-14401TE offers features the Arc G3 EXTREME lacks. The recorded data, however, only verifies the Arc G3 EXTREME's performance.

Where Each One Wins

The Arc G3 EXTREME wins on measured performance. Its recorded benchmark scores cover multi-thread, single-thread, and specialized workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,655 and the PassMark multi-thread score of 30,659 indicate strong parallel processing capability. The single-thread score of 4,293 in PassMark and 1,862 in Cinebench R23 show competitive single-core behavior. Its 85th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 36,699, with deltas under 1.1% to four named rivals, further support its standing.

The i5-14401TE wins on specific feature availability. It supports ECC memory, which the Arc G3 EXTREME does not. It uses a desktop socket (Intel Socket 1700) with 16 PCIe Gen 5 lanes, compared to the Arc G3 EXTREME's mobile BGA socket with 4 lanes. Its larger shared L3 cache of 20 MB exceeds the Arc G3 EXTREME's 18 MB, which may benefit certain cache-sensitive workloads. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, offering broader memory compatibility, while the Arc G3 EXTREME is limited to LPDDR5X.

The Arc G3 EXTREME's lower TDP of 25 watts, versus the i5-14401TE's 45 watts, indicates a more power-efficient design for mobile use. The i5-14401TE's higher base clock of 2.00 GHz, versus 1.90 GHz, is a minor advantage for lightly threaded tasks, but its lower boost clock of 4.50 GHz versus 4.70 GHz narrows that edge. The Arc G3 EXTREME's newer 3 nm process node and larger per-core L1 and L2 caches give it an architectural edge in raw speed per core, while the i5-14401TE's 10 nm process and smaller caches suggest less headroom for per-core performance.

For workloads such as data compression, encryption, and extended instructions, the Arc G3 EXTREME records scores of 307,094, 23,881, and 24,017 respectively. These figures are the only measured values in the comparison, so all performance-based use cases favor the Arc G3 EXTREME. The i5-14401TE, without recorded scores, cannot claim any benchmark win. Its advantages are purely feature-based: ECC support, desktop socket flexibility, more PCIe lanes, and dual memory type support.
